Changes

Well it's official I quit PRA! My last day is March 9th and I start at my new job on March 12th. It's not the cushy type job of PRA it's in a specialists office and I'll get to do hands on patient stuff again. I'm excited/ scared all at the same time.

YIKESSSSSSSSS!!!

Thank you and I love you Steve!!

OMG!!!

OK, when I'm on my way to work and the bus I'm on is full I"m usually left standing. When a seat close to me becomes vacant I offer it to my closest "respective elder"........I've always considered this a good deed...a random act of kindness.....a sign that I was brought up properly....until it happened to me. Soooooo there I was on a full bus this morning and left standing, a seat a little bit in front of me became vacant and I did not move to occupy it because there was a younger girl in front of me (around 17ish) and I figured that since we were pretty much "equals" that she would just take the seat......Yaaaaaaaaa NO! Instead she turned around and offered me the seat and at first it took me a minute to actually understand that it was me she was offering the seat to because in my mind as I said before we were " equals". Once it sunk in that I am probably more then 10 years older then her and therefore her "respective elder". I thanked her graciously and took the seat which seemed to please her immensely..I on the other hand spent the rest of my 45 minute bus ride to work obsessing with the fact that I am now of an age where I can be offered "the vacant seat", called Ma'am and Mrs. Gilks.....Seriously???

Kyanna Got A New Haircut!!!!

Peep Sitting

Well I've made it thru 3.5 days of watching Susie-Q's birds. I've pasted pictures of them below.....unfortunately the cages are in the way .....trust me....that's the only way me and the peeps get along. Aside from the usual fare of seeds and fruit I've given the peeps toast with butter, mini quiche and half a Timmy's breakfast sandwich. I'm not sure if they liked the Timmy's sandwich but I guess I'll see when I get back tonight......who doesn't love Timmy's?

Below is Cowboy he's one of my favorites ( I think he's a momma's boy) he seems to be the only one that speaks he can say Hi and bub bye....Cowboy tells me bub bye when I'm coming and going.....ever get the feeling you don't belong?

Below is Violet she squawks at me for no apparent reason other then to hear her own voice....or she may just be telling what's what. She's pretty cute when she's facing forward she's got a beautiful purpleish/blue chest. She also likes to help change her food dishes by pushing them out or pulling them in.

This is Louie.....she's called Lu Lu. You know how there's one in every bunch.....well Lu Lu is the "one" in this bunch. She's the bossy boots of the roost. For the first few days when I was watching the peeps, everytime I'd go near Lu Lu's cage she'd do a fake dive bomb in my direction......made me jump a few times. After reminding myself that there's a cage between me and Lu Lu and...that I'm bigger...and the boss. I started telling her no and to be a good girl this makes her stop and stare at me.......I think she's watching and accessing my moves planning the ultimate attack.



Here is R2...... I'm sweet on him....not only because he wolf whistles at me in the mornings before I head to work (all though it does help.....ALOT) but because the poor guy is kept inline by Lu Lu......she sits in the cage next to him and and squawks if he...breaths in the wrong direction... she defiantly wears the pants in that relationship.



Last but by far least is Goliath, he's the biggest of them all...and the wimpiest.... he's Kyanna's favorite she changes his dishes for him and gives him lots of attention.....I'm not sure if he enjoys the attention he's been gettin....but it can't be all that bad he's still got all his feathers.

Peeps

I have this friend (yup another friend) who lives down the street from me her name is Susan...aka..Susie-Q, she's got a hubby Duane..aka..Hubba Hubba Harley Duane, a dog named Pedro...he's Cindy-Lou's boyfriend and 5 birds...ya... you read correctly....5 birds.

Susie-Q and Duane have taken little Pedro and gone off to Calgary (home for them) for a few weeks and they have left their 5 birds in my care. MWWHAHAHWAHHAHAHA

Tomorrow is my first day watching Susie-Q's "peeps", stay tuned and I'll introduce you.

As many of you know I lost my mother 4 years ago today to Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Today I want to remind all my family and friends to get that pesky mole, skin patch or lump looked at. A few months make all the difference.

This year I plan to do the weekend to end breast cancer 3 day 60km walk in Vancouver. I'll be begging for donations in a few months if you want to check it out beforehand copy and past the below in your browser. http://va07.endcancer.ca/site/PageServer?pagename=va07_homepage
