I love reading the news when I wake up in the morning. The first thing I see when I open my internet browser is CBC.ca news and I spend a few moments sifting through the headlines and reading about what’s going on in the world. Last week I was obsessed with that horrific Greyhound incident–it was terrible but I couldn’t stop reading. Sometimes the news–like that–is really sad or upsetting. But sometimes I read something that I think is absolutely amazing, like this morning. Vancouver women, I think you are awesome. Shop Girl*

As you may (or may not) know, I very recently had a birthday and just turned 23 years young. With birthdays usually come presents and well wishes from family and friends. Well dear readers, I am about to tell you why I have the best mother-in-law ever. In March I shared my secret with you. I was with the Hubster’s Mom when I first discovered this passion and began collecting.

However, the Hubster’s Mom is amazing and collected not one, but FOUR new “Indian” dolls…

So. I’ve discovered new things and I want to share. :) Let’s start with Facebook. As you may or may not know, I created a facebook “fan page” for my blog a while back. I have since created a facebook account under the name “Shop Girll” as there is more I can do with it, and it’s easier to send out updates!! I would looove it if you would add me!! I love friends, don’t be shy! While on the subject of Facebook, those of you that use it should be familiar with its newest feature, “Facebook chat”. I enjoy the concept, but having the little message boxes attached to…

Soooo…… new fun things! I’ve had a glorious time procrastinating my essay today (it’s 35 pages and I have absolutely NO desire to write it) so I created a facebook page for my site and also a page on Myspace!! If you use either of these sites I would absolutely love it if you would add me… the facebook page can be accessed HERE, and the Myspace page HERE. YAY! Thanks. :) Shop Girl*
