When I was a young boy I vowed that I would one day fulfill my dream of becoming a ventriloquist.

Years later when I woke up in the hospital after my surgery I knew that my dream had changed.

My life is now devoted to Xenobiology.

A few things.

I haven’t been posting very much lately and I’m not entirely sure why. I just don’t feel like it I guess. We have been dealing with a few problems that seem to take up all of my energy. They would all make great posts but I feel that I shouldn’t talk about them until they are resolved. I don’t know why, I guess I’m a little superstitious. And just so no one (read- the sisters) freaks out, the problems are not between The Hubband and I or about The Boy.

To all the tattoo whores out there – I will post pics as soon as I have them. Hedder took them on her digital camera and is emailing them to me soon. Ya’ll just have to wait. So there.

That’s all the news (or lack of) for this installment of “Shna’s Boring Life.” Tune in next week when Shna shares the thrilling tale of sausage for breakfast….

It’s been a few days since my last post and I sincerely apologize to all my adoring fans. Hey wait a minute, my only fan was my sister who now claims to not be related to me. Curious, very curious.

I had a blast in Ontario with the Hedder. We went to St. Catherines and walked, shopped and saw a hot guy at a tattoo place. There is something about a cute tattooist…. I’m not sure. Have you ever seen the show Miami Ink? I would lurve to go there someday and have Ami tattoo me. Oooh baby.

So anyway, we went to Toronto and walked around all day. All. Freaking. Day. It was so much fun. We went to all the neat little shops, wandered around for a while then went to a tattoo place that I cannot for the life of me remember the name of, and I got a tattoo. On my wrist, Let me just say…ouch. Damn that hurt like a sonofabitch! Hedder wanted to get a piercing, but was afraid of what people would think. To which I say “Hedder, I just got a tattoo on my wrist! Damn, who cares what people think!”

Anywho, she decided against it and we moved on. Later that night we went out to eat at Lee, the sister restaurant to Susur named for the Owner and Chef, Susur Lee. This man is (pardon my language) a fucking genius. The food was divine, absolutely fabulous. This is one of those places that you must try at least once. You must.

We went out to the movies, The Benchwarmers and Ice Age: The Meltdown. I don’t much care how it makes me look to say this – I loved The Benchwarmers. It made me laugh so hard throughout that I almost choked and I actually did a spit take. Which was fun in and of itself. We also had an awesome craft day where we made jewelry and we had a couple of shopping days.

Then we went to eat where Hedder works. Yum Yum Pickles. The last time we ate there the staff set us a table in room all by ourselves with a huge bunch of flowers, candles and more wine glasses than I can count. Then proceeded to tell anyone who asked that we were celebrating our Anniversary. So this time they had to out do themselves and out do they did. They sat us in the same room but at a banquet table! Still with the flowers, candles and wine, but we just looked so silly sitting across from each other at this enormous table. The meal was delicious, the company charming, the staff delightful. I highly recommend this establishment.

Hedder took great care of me, because as we all know I cannot look after myself properly, and showed me a fantastic time. Thanks Hedder, and next time you get the body art! :)

I am here, in Hedders Living Room! HA! It seems silly to be here and posting to my blog instead of “hanging” with the Hedder, but that’s what I love about her so much. We can be in the same room, just chilling, not talking but still it’s comfortable. I loves me some Hedder.

We went to see a movie today – Ice Age 2 – The Meltdown. Scrat was the highlight of the film, he made it hilarious. The rest of the movie was pretty good, but Scrat, he takes the nut. We also went to eat at Mandarin, this Chinese buffet place, it was fan-freakin-tastic. I ate till I could eat no more. Ahh, I loves me some buffet. Not as much as Hedder but still.

A new Post

8 04 2006

Hey looky here, it’s a new post.

The Hubband and I went to play Pictionary and “Shout about Movies” with friends yesterday. It was so much fun. We played girls against guys – Team Freaking Awesome vs. Team Loser. We are so very creative. Team Freaking Awesome kicked Team Loser to the curb! They lived up to their name no problem.

Our old landlord called today to tell us we wouldn’t be getting our $350 damage deposit back because we left “4 truckloads” of garbage behind.

Four truckloads!

Really, I find that hard to believe, considering I barely even own enough stuff now to fit in four truckloads. We left behind a couch ( outside ), a few pallets ( in the basement that floods ), some cardboard and bags of trash ( only left inside because the trash cans were full and waiting to be picked up ), and a weight bench ( that only got left behind because The Hubband was too lazy to move it in the first place! ).

So the landlord said we could get our DD if we took care of the garbage, that’s just fine and dandy. The Hubband and I went over and loaded up the van; couch, pallets and assorted garbage. Our friend Joan came over with her car and loaded up her trunk with the rest. The only thing left was the weight bench, so we took 1 van load and 1 car trunk load….hmmm, seems so much less than 4 truckloads. We took all the garbage to the local waste management center where they charged us 10 bucks for the crap, and we sold the weight bench to Cash Converters. We put the garbage cans at the curb and called it a day.

I fail to see how having to pay $10 for garbage disposal translates to not getting our $350 damage deposit back…. but apparently I don’t understand how money works.

Wherein Shna uses her lifetime allotment of exclamation points.

4 04 2006

4 Days! Four freaking Days! On Sunday I am flying to see my good buddy Hedder, Oh baby! Do I ever love the exclamation point! It sure is useful for conveying just how excited I am!! Very! Here is a brief outline of the wonder that is my vacation -

  • On Sunday I will be on a plane bound for Ontari-ari-ario.
  • On Monday I get to meet Phil the guitar instructor, then we are going kick boxing.
  • On Tuesday we are going to Toronto to eat, drink and be merry!
  • On Wednesday we are going to kick some more boxes! YAY.
  • On Thursday we are going out to eat at Hedder’s place of work, look out Swiss Chalet**…..
  • Then on Friday I am returning home…booo.

There will be other moments of wild abandon but those are the general points. Somewhere in there we will be going shopping, eating a lot of chocolate, and seeing a movie, but not necessarily at the same time or in that order. So there, that is the most wonderful week in existence! I dare you to top that, Internet. You can’t, because you are not Shna and you are not going to see Hedder, therefore there is nothing better! HA.

On another note this trip will be my first time on a plane alone. It is slightly scary. Large crowds and floating in air in a huge metal box frighten me. Truth be told, so do tiny spiders and heights.

To be sure it’s not the “floating in air” part that really scares me its the crashing and burning part. I gather that would be what frightens most people so I will just suck it up and fly. Besides having someone with me won’t help if we are going to crash. I am so positive aren’t I?

**Just so you know, Hedder does not work at Swiss Chalet, she works here, I just did that to annoy her, hee hee! Sorry Hedder :)





I can be quite boring.

3 04 2006

The Boy is still at the grandparents house, safe and sound. I have called to talk to him at least once a day since I left him there. I may be missing him. Just a bit. He sounds so different on the phone. He asks me the same questions every time we talk. “What are you doing Mommy?” and “What’s your name?” The latter of which I reply Shna and and then he yells “No, you’re Mommy!” It’s quite a good time.

I am feeling SO much better today, two friends are coming over to drink and play pictionary. Fun times. I really like drinking and pictionary, great times! I freaking love pictionary. I get a little aggressive and playing with me can be dangerous. I have so little to say it’s not even funny. See, that wasn’t the least bit funny.
