Good News!

Yay! I got an interview to be a lifeguard for the City of Kamloops! It's this Monday, April 30th and I'm kinda scared! I am not expecting to get the job but it would be VERY nice! Anyway that's just a little update for now...

Interviewed

This is my interview by Elizabeth. She had been interviewed on her blog by two people so I get to be interviewed by her!
OK here we go,

1) Where is your dream travel destination?
I'm gunna have to say either a nice long trip to many countries in Europe or some nice Caribbean destination like Jamaica or St. Lucia
2) What would your dream job be?
Something that involved traveling and planning things
3) If you were an animal, which animal would you be?
I'd have to say I'd be Red Panda cuz they are so flipping cool!
4) Where would you want to move, if you were to leave Kamloops?
Well I am thinking that if I moved in the near future I'd be going to Surrey or somewhere else in Vancouver for work or more schooling...
5) What is your biggest fear?
I'm afraid of needles and spiders but right now my biggest fear is that I am not going to find a career that I love or even just like and I'm also recently afraid that I will not be very good and doing the various things that I'm interested in... I know that I'm a very smart person so I shouldn't worry but I am entering a whole new aspect of my life and this new semi-independence is showing me just how challenging and exciting it will be to be "on my own" out of my parents house.

Thanks Liz for the great questions! They really made me think. If anyone else wants to interview me here on my blog then just email me with your 5 questions and I'll make sure to post it ASAP.

If you want to play along...
1. Leave me a comment saying “Interview me” and some contact information.
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Baby pics!

Here are some pictures of my new baby cousin CorsEn.

I spelt it wrong last time... And to date there is still no middle name.

So it's Corsen Smeaton.

Puppies!

Yay! Ginger had puppies!
That's the nice news, here's the bad news...

Sadly one died... We named him Hero

But there are two other puppies and they are both girls! That's the best news! Devon gets to keep one and the other one goes to Ian's parents.

This one is Devon's baby girl named Link:

And here is Ginger with her pups:

I will try and keep this up to date with puppy pics when they are older and more different looking... Today they look the same as yesterday... I think their eyes open in about 8 days so they will for sure be different looking then!

It's a boy!

Well there is a new baby Smeaton in the world today! Corsin Smeaton so far... last I heard they still hadn't decided on a middle name...

This is a new addition to Cory and Leanna's family

that was just recently started last June. This family now has FIVE kids! Cory has three from his first marriage and Leanna had one. They are kinda adopting the lifestyle of "yours, mine and ours". At any rate, they have one full-time child now, in addition to the four that they share.

Pictures will come as soon as I get a chance to see the little guy!

I have NO life!

SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 movies, you have no life.Mark the ones you've seen. There are 239 movies on this list. Copy this list, go to your own blog, post it. Then, put x's next to the movies you've seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click publish at the bottom and you've done it! Have fun!

MY TOTAL = 109!!

Wow! I am totally trash! I clearly have ABSOLUTELY no life! Well you guys can try it and just leave a comment as to your total or post it on your own page...

Back home... to my OWN bed

Ok so my last post was from Mexico and my trip ended very nicely. The wedding was beautiful and my last few days consisted of laying on beach chairs and playing in the ocean, quite relaxing. Oh and I have some pics of Mexico finally!

This is Becky and I enjoying our Pina Coladas



This is Kayla and I outside the resort lobby



A pretty Mexican sunset pic

Me ready to rock, about to go para-sailing!

Me taking off...

Our beautiful beach

One of the wonderful pools

Anyway, if you would like to see more then I would be happy to show you the entire collection, but it's on my laptop and I'll be printing them soon so I can make my photo album so you may want to hang tight til that's done...

Ok well since I did get home from Mexico on March 17 you may be wondering why it took me soooooo long to get this post up... Well the reason is I was two days after I got back I got really sick. It wasn't anything to do with Mexico, just a coincidence... I had a kidney infection. I was sick on Monday night (March 19th) and then got worse until Thursday when I finally went to the doctor. He sent me to emerg. for and IV and some blood tests because I was very dehydrated. So after tests three IV bags and two different IV antibiotics I was sent home with a perscription, and was told if I don't feel better in the next couple days I need to come back cuz something else is wrong. Well something else WAS wrong because Friday late night I was having trouble breathing so I barely slept and at 8am the next day I was back in emerg. This time they kept me there. I had pneumonia now and they thought possibly a blood clot on my lung. So after a few really rough days and nights I was on the mend and was just waiting to hear about my CT scan which would tell me about the blood clot. This whole while I was getting blood thinner shots just in case. Well by day 5 in the hospital I was starting to help the other patients in my room, two nice little old men. One was 79, had cancer and was waiting for a place in a care home and the other was old too, Italian, and had an infection in his leg I think. Anyway they were nice and were sad to see me go on day 7. I spent a week in that hospital! It was quite an experience, but I hope I never have to repeat it. It turned out I didn't have a blood clot so I was free to go with just a prescription for my pneumonia.

I'm feeling almost back to normal now, I just get tired pretty easily. So a few weeks of early nights and long sleeps and I'll be good as new. Hopefully that means I can do a lot more blogging!
