So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

2006 - 30 Things to do this year - In no particular order

1. Paint a portrait of my son, husband, self or all three.
2. Go on a drive in an area near me that I don't know well. Explore. Throw the map out the window.
3. Take a guided tour of the town where I live.
4. Finish all my scrapbook projects.
5. Make an emergency kit for the car. Include all the essentials: flares, bandages, chocolate.
6. Send Valentine's cards to all my friends.
7. Make a scrapbook of a memorable occasion -- a friend's wedding, surprise birthday party or just an evening out.
8. Tell a stranger to have a nice day.
9. Make more of my own cards for birthdays, holidays, etc.

I hate to be predictable, but I don't give a shit!

My profile was a little too long so I deleted most of it, however, I liked it so I am putting it here.
Because I want to. You can't change my mind. I'm not listening.

In the real world my name is Shanna, but I prefer Shna... that is what my minions call me. Or rather what they would call me if I had any. I have one husband (that's one too many! har de har) and one son. They are called Babe and The Boy, respectively. I would tell you their real names but honestly I don't have the time to remember EVERYONES name! I am an avid drinker, reader, professional topless dancer, thinker of thoughts, writer of words that make little sense, yodeler, ravenous eater of all things food, and a part-time hand model. Ok, now for the general stuff. I live in Charlottetown PEI (love it here) and I am from a tiny, tiny, tiny town in NB. I have 2 sisters, Kim and Laine, and one imaginary friend, Gerald. Kim is somewhat normal, I am not and Laine is downright insane. She also has a blog but I wouldn't go there unless you enjoy lobotomies. I have few friends...wait did I say few? I meant a Huge, unimaginable number of friends far too numerous to mention. Two that I WILL mention are Joan and Heather. They are awesome. That is all I will say about them except this...Joan has a blog that is cool. Heather also has a blog that is cool. Well that about sums it up.
