Happy Halloween

This is my favorite time of year...

I love the fall... Halloween is my favorite holiday, mostly for the costumes and pumpkins. I love to carve pumpkins, I carved two today for work decorations. I love to eat pumpkin two and I made yummy pumpikin cookies the other day.

I just got home from hang out with Mary. Mary loves Halloween too. Mary is big on scary movies and haunted houses and we did both tonight. We went to a really freaky corn maze and saw SAW II.

This year I don't have a costume and all my halloween stuff is in my dad's basement and I had no time to get it. It is alright though because I had no plans to be anywhere to dress up. The Saturday before Halloween King Soopers has a costume day... and I am off. I didn't have time to decide what I wanted to be any way.

Color of Love

Today I played with Photo Shop again. In my favorite picture of myself (I know it sounds vain) my eyes are this wonderful baffling shade of blue, very bright. So in photo shop I extracted all the colors in my eye and created this artwork that you see on this post. I have titled it Color of Love (because I am the artist I can).

Shawna's Pictures

Now you can look at pictures I post at http://shawnaspics.blogspot.com
So far I have posted pictures of my babies. There is also a link to the right of the page so you can access the picture blog from this site.

Starting at Mom's blog...

I kept clicking on links to different things a places. I can't remember who's blog I got this from but after i was done surfing blogs I decided to try it too. Google your name followed by 'needs' and see what you get.

Her are some results:

1. Shawna needs to relax... (hum don't mind if I do)

2. Shawna needs to slow down. (I do?)

3. Shawna needs firm control but she is terrified... Shawna need therapy but so far has refused (I had no idea)

4. Shawna need people for the appointment committee ( What appointment committe?)

5. Shawna needs an experienced and committed family who can provide a stable,supportive environment. (Sounds nice but I don't know what this means)

6. Shawna needs to learn respect and a hold on her tongue (WOW!!! I do really?)

7. Shawna needs to get a pack of depends... (oh really!)

8. Shawna is a child and needs it's sympathy and protection (OK what is 'IT'?)

9. Shawna needs money, a stable home, and health insurance (don't we all)

10. Shawna needs a bandanna for the dress rehearsal of a play (really sounds fun)


P.S. I am also a 3rd degree brown belt in Idaho (J/K) check it out

Be Kind - Rewind

I wish this whole day could rewind.

I woke up feeling so very very tiered. I put on the first pair of pants and the first shirt I could find. Quickly made some strawberry pop-tarts that I really didn't want, grabbed my stuff and headed for the bus. Almost fell asleep on the bus.

Got to class one minute before 8:30 (right when class starts). This class was audiology. Audiology is really hard, and today because I was so tired it sounded like a forgin language, like she was teaching us in French.

Class was over yea. So next I had to go to the application meeting to get me into the teaching program. This is what caused me to do all the running around yesterday, and it turns out that I really did all that running around for nothing. One thing I had to do was get fingerprinted... and the police stations in my area only do that on Wednesday and Thursday... so I thought I was screwed and that I was unable to attend the meeting. I was ok... and good thing because I also forget my TB test result slip. AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Well then I had 2 1/2 hours until my next class and I didn't think I had enough time to go home so I stayed on campus. The bad thing about that was I didn't bring anything that I needed to study so I started out regoing over the Audiology notes so they would make sense.... but I was still sleepy and so I laid down on a couch in the study area I was in and took a nap, for an hour. I woke up and headed to class and on the way remembered that I knew I was going to get my period today and was ill prepared and duh that is why I am so tiered... and hungry.... shoot I have no money for food.

I got to Art and there was my teacher all big an pregnant. I wondered when that happened because only last week she didn't look pregnant and none of knew she was.

Class was over and I came home and finally ate the cereal that I wanted this morning. Now Andy is home, we ordered food and I have to do my homework before I go to work tonight.

I almost forgot I am living in Denver

The small area of Denver that I occupy has now become my home. I typical don't travel too far out of just one small part of Denver.

I ride the bus to school everyday... same bus, same route, same times and for the most part same drivers and same passengers.

Today I had a few extra things to do so I had to take a different bus. Eventually I made it to the stop that my usual bus and the bus I was on crossed. When I approached the bus stop there was an older couple talking to a creepy, drugged-out looking man on a bicycle.

At first I thought to myself, 'What a sleaz, trying to talk a poor old grandma and grandpa into helping him out while he will only use them for drugs and what not.'

But when I sat down I could hear them a little and see what they where doing. HE was SELLING DRUGS to THEM. What????? He pulled out a prescription bottle of pills and gave them to the old man while his wife gave him as much change as she had in her coin purse plus a dollar.

So then I was thinking 'Oh that's sad, they think the only way they can afford meds is to get them from that loser.' But then the old lady said this to the man, "I wish I had some things to make meth." METH!!!!!!!! This is true too. I really couldn't believe it myself. Then they left the bus stop.

Stealing from Mom again

Sorry my I had to steal from you blog again. I really liked this poem and I couldn't think of anything to add to my blog all weekend... Thanks for the idea ;)

i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (any where i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and
whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)

Snow Snow Snow

While coming home from work it was snowing. That is fine with me because I didn't have to drive in it, even though it was not sticking to the ground.

I went to work at 8:00 p.m. tonight instead of 4:30 p.m. I have had this cold for a week now and like most colds it feels different everyday but it still sucks. On top of my cold today I had another migriane or headache... all I know was it sucked. So I called my boss at 3:00 and asked if it was ok if I came in at 8:00. She said yes. So I knew I needed to take a nap so I started watching the Bronco game and shortly after I started to watch I feel asleep as planned. When I woke up the game was close to over and the Broncos won.... YEA!!!! And I was feeling better so I went to work at 7:30 actually.

I am feeling better but I still know this cold is lingering.

This is very weird

Hope this works I got it in an email it was really cool and kind of weird

look what I did

Yes, these are the same picture. The picture on the right is the original taken at our wedding. It is a beautiful picture but the lady that married us was in a bad spot. This was the only picture of the kiss too.

So yesterday I was changing the picture on my desktop and wanted this picture until I remembered the lady's face was in it. So I played around on photo shop thinking I would do an ok to crapy job and I figured it out. I showed Andy when he got home and he couldn't figure out what I did until I showed him the original picture.
