Good-bye little boy..

He may not have been the best behaiving dog, he wasn't the most balanced dog, and he barked..a lot. But Scooter was part of the family and will be sadly missed. Yesterday was one week since he closed his eyes for good. It still brings tears to my eyes and I wish it didn't have to end that way even though it was for the best. There is no replacement for him. He had his bad moments but he had his good ones too. I'll miss him for a very long time. I'll never forget him.


Scooter June 26, 2005 - August 20, 2009

Too cute not to share

Teagan's first haircut

Been about a month since she got her first haircut but here are some pics of little Teagy getting her locks trimmed.

Oops!

I'd love to say my life has been hectic or crazy busy with more important things, but the truth is I forgot about my blog..

I guess some stuff has happened. I moved back home a few weeks ago. It was such a hard decision, but the best way to save money right now. However, I just purchased a Macbook so it will take a month's pay out of my savings..he he.
It's not so bad at home, I have my own little "suite" downstairs. Suki hates Scooter and she chases him around the house, quite entertaining.

I'm still at my glorious job at Wardrop Engineering. Since my old position was replaced by a "report coordinator" I have been bumped to main reception. On a daily basis I answer the phone and try to figure out who the hell these people are wanting to speak to. Take yesterday for example.

me: good morning, Wardrop
caller: may I speak to Mr. Mike please (imagine a Borat accent)
me: what's his first name?
caller: Mike
me: uhh what's his last name? we have more than one mike
caller: Morgan
me: we don't have a Mike Morgan
caller: i only know him as Mr. mike, i have urgent instructions please transfer me
me: i can't transfer you because i don't know who you are looking for

His phone finally cut out, or he hung up out of frustration - I am not sure. He ended up calling back with the correct extension number. Seriously? Who asks for Mr. Mike? Hilarious.

What else, what else? Ah yes, Jackie's stagette! So much fun! I think the less you go to the bar, the more fun you actually have once you're there. Highlights of the night included Mother-of-the-bride almost getting a fine at the Pat for having a drink outside, Joleen and Jenn getting left at bars, and the groom from the stag falling on the dance floor at the Long Branch. Too freaking funny, I bet he felt that next morning. Good times had by all! One thing..never get Jackie's mom to sneak alcohol out of the bar. She was so nervous she dropped her bottle! Thank god my beer was safe in her arms.

Two weeks until Jackie and Eric's wedding. It's going to be blast, can't wait to see everyone :)

This is Mrs. Shauna signing off!

Decisions Decisions..

Today I made a super hard decision. I've decided to move back home and pay some debt off. I'm throwing away more than $1000/month on rent plus all of my bills. I can't live in debt anymore, it is really stressing me out.

They let another admin go today at work. She covered the reception area so that leaves yours truly (moi) to do reception now. Although I should be thankful I still have my job, I can't help but hate the fact that I have to be up there now. I didn't need to spend $6000 on school to answer phones, order supplies, and book travel. It's ridiculous. If my job wasn't "replaced" in the O&G division I would have nothing to worry about right now. It's so complicated. I've never been so stressed out in my life!

Needless to say, because of my future living arrangements I will not be adopting another kitty. I feel horrible because on Sunday I went and picked one out. Her name is Tia and she is at the SPCA. All I can do is hope someone likes her and takes her home. No more checking out the SPCA website for me!! :(
