Shop Girl Shares The Good Girl Gone Blog & Robert Munsch*
(image found at: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/0/04/Turkey.jpg) Happy Thanksgiving! I know it’s not for a few weeks for those of you south of the border, but this is turkey weekend up here and it was dang good. As we were unable to get the time off work to join my family up in the Great White North and the Hubs’ family has moved we weren’t sure what we were going to do for the holidays. Thankfully it looks like several of our friends’ families are trying to adopt us and we found ourselves with two invitations to big turkey dinners. We ended up spending a wonderful evening at Too Kool’s with his family…

Work, School and a side of Volunteering*
(image found at: http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/geekandpoke/images/2008/04/12/busytimes.jpg) My life has changed quite a bit these past few weeks. I went from being an unemployed blogger who sat at home all day to a busy little bee (who sometimes thinks I may have taken on too much) in a matter of days. Sadly, I know it’s affected my writing a little bit, and it’s definitely affected my reading / commenting which hurts my heart. I have to do it all in blocks now which is SO much less fun. This is the new me in a nutshell: The Job I’m happy to say that in many ways my job has really improved. My coworkers…

Let’s Talk TV*
I’ve always been a voracious reader (I lived in books as a child. Seriously. There is home video footage of me sitting in my living room reading amidst a pile of books with absolute sibling chaos going on around me… and I am oblivious to it all. I heart books with some good hearting.) …but I have also always loved watching TV. When my brothers and sisters and I were small, my parents believed that we needed to foster our imagination / mind through books and outside play, so out “TV time” was limited to evenings… and Friday night was always the best. Friday night was Chip Night. Every Friday…

An Explanation*
Last night I got less than 3 hours of sleep. For some stupid reason I woke up at 2am to use the washroom and was completely unable to fall asleep after that. I did absolutely everything I could to make myself tired– I read a novel, Fail Blog’ed, Facebooked, Twittered, walked around my apartment aimlessly and even applied for a job, but sleep would. not. come. I figured I would sleep after the Hubster left for work. Nope. I figured maybe I’d pass out after a good breakfast and a hot shower. Nope. It was 2pm before I finally managed to nap fitfully for an hour before waking again. *sigh*.…

A New Addition*
(image found at: http://www.scottsdalecc.edu/green/images/The_Big_News.jpg) You know, it’s kinda funny. When I slipped in a tiny blurb about having something to announce into one of my Shop Girl Shares post 3 weeks ago, I wasn’t even sure anyone would even catch it. I mean, really, it was only a tiny 15-word sentence before presenting you with two fabulous blogs that I heart with much hearting. Needless to say, I was a tiny bit shocked by the reaction. haha! I received emails, messages on Facebook, etc, all wanting to know what my announcement would be; all assuming it would be one thing: I’m pregnant. I even wrote a post calling you out…
