Five Years is a long time!

Filed under: Life, Family — Sharyl @ 4:17 pm

What was I doing five years ago?
- Working at a hardware and a whole lot more store & the westerner
- registering for college classes and freaking out about going back to school
- driving around in the corsica
- partying a lil too much
- and on this exact day I was a bridesmaid in my brothers wedding

Five years, Derek & Shannon have been married for 5 years! Congratulations you crazy kids!

A lot has changed in those 5 years but I think it’s all worked out fine, perfectly, (some might say) for the best! But really, looking back, it was so different for me. I have a much different life now… even a much different life than I expected to have then. Maybe I need a new five year plan…

Update on the Versa

Filed under: The Corsica / The Versa — Sharyl @ 12:35 am

I passed 1000 kms on the new car today on the way back from Edmonton. It was all sentimental because it was around the same area that the corsica hit 200 000kms. Oh the memories on the QE2. Other than that the car is awesome and it’s treating me very well. Future road trips are going to be awesome.

PS pledge me for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. Did I mention that Tammy and I are on the committee?!

My new lil car

Filed under: The Corsica / The Versa — Sharyl @ 10:08 pm

Thats right! I dropped off the face of the planet but I am back and I actually have something to write about. I bought a new car! Whoo! When you think you just saw me drive past in a Grey 07 Nissan Versa you did! It’s cute and I like it. Better yet: it’s all mine! Yes I will be paying for it for the next 4 years but seriously I don’t care because it is my new car! I’m a little overly focused on it right now but that will wear off. Now I am selling the corsica, which is sad but I’m dealing with it. Maybe I’ll take some final pictures of the corsica and some first pictures of the versa so everyone can see just how big of a change this is for me! hmmmm….

PS: did you pledge me yet? Because there is a cancer Relay for life link right over there —> just so you can quickly pledge me. I’m not asking for $1,000,000, every penny counts!

Relay time again!

Filed under: Life — Sharyl @ 2:52 pm

Hey everyone!!!! Time to start giving me money again! Relay for Life is coming up. I’m technically not on a team this year but Tammy and I are volunteering on the committee so that means we are putting more time into it so you should give me more money (hahahaha). Seriously whatever you can give will help! Click on the link below or on the one I hope to have on the side!!! Thanx!!!!

I’ve been busy

Filed under: Photos, Life, Road Trips — Sharyl @ 1:37 pm

I’ve got the pictures to prove that I’ve been busy! As a matter of fact I just posted them all. It took me some time too so you better look at them many time.

We went to the Dominican Republic for a week and loved every minute of it! It was great and now I want to be back there! Especially since we landed in Calgary in the middle of a snowstorm. It was a nice break from winter. So check out the pics from that!

Also new pics in Julia’s album & I finally posted the pictures from the Aerosmith concert!

The World According to Axel / The Route Of All Evil

Filed under: Friends, Life, Road Trips — Sharyl @ 8:29 pm

Ok…. so if you have been keeping up with the countdowns like I have then you know that I had like the crappiest week of school but seriously the best weekend in my short history. Well I mean it rocked at least! We went to the Guns n Roses concert on Thursday and then on Saturday the Route of All Evil tour with Motley Cure and AEROSMITH!!!! Whoo!

So Axel Rose has a psychic and apparently likes to meditate before the show and knows that the vibe is better for the show later in the night….at least this is what I’ve heard from my sources. But in Axel’s world people don’t have to work on a Friday, or in my case drive an hour and a half after the concert, so he didn’t start playing until 11:55….pm…. I’m not really complaining cause well he gets points for showing up and seriously he played for 2 and a half hours (that was awesome) but it was 2:30 in the morning! I don’t see how the vibe was better….. half the people were gone before the show was half over, and those of us who were left were sitting, enjoying the music, but we weren’t too excited or mobile by that time. Good concert, too late. And I know, my very caring oldest brother offered me and my friends a bed/couch/piece of floor but we were all wide awake and all I could think about was my own bed and so we made the drive and ended up in our beds at 5:30…..am.

And then there was Aerosmith! OMG!!! That was awesome! We got there and Motley Crue was already on stage so we got to our seats and rocked out to their show. Then the intermission: we got some drinks and made some friends and I know that I could barely contain myself - I was that excited. and then they started playing! We didn’t sit down once during their entire show! It was that good (and it was still the same day so we weren’t really tired) I called a lot of people and left messages of the concert on their voicemail, I recorded some bits on my phone (you can hear us singing in most of them but they are still great!), and Jodi took some picture (maybe after my exam I’ll finally get around to posting some pictures from the last few months). We had a pretty good time. Tammy’s favorite quote was from someone who won’t be named: “I love 2 bands… Aerosmith and Backstreet Boys!” I personally think that the person who said that showed that they are a well rounded individual who is tolerant of different things and I also think she is pretty! Anyway, after the show, we got ourselves back to the hotel (we did it with class at the Westin) and hung out for a bit before brushing our teeth in the heavenly sink, watching a little heavenly tv, and going to sleep in our heavenly beds! Ahhh…… It was pretty fabulous. All in all: Aerosmith rocks!!!!!

And now back to reality, one more exam and I’m done.

Filed under: School, Life, Countdowns! — Sharyl @ 9:42 am

You know when you are baking cookies or making supper or even doing your hair and I’m standing there asking how much longer? Well……

Days until done degree: 6
Days of actual school: 1
Days until Dominican: 47
Days until GnR: like .5
Days until Aerosmith: like 2.5

I’ve set this up so I have at least 47 days of countdowns left however this is going to pretty much be the end of the school countdowns…. it is the end of an era. It’s weird. I have 6 days and 60 multiple choice questions standing in the way of me being finished (knock on wood that I actually pass art history and economics - we could be doing another semester here!). Hmmmmm……. it is a weird feeling. I don’t even know how to put it into words.

So I’ve been staying at my brothers and hanging out with Sparkle and I started to feel bad because those 2 have been blogging everyday and I have barely even had contact with a computer in the past week. I know what your thinking “but Sharyl, we live in the age of technology, how do you avoid computers?” Well…. I lied. I have been hanging out with them a lot, but it’s all word documents and power point with the occasional run in to check my email. But this is the first time I have sat down for some quality time in probably a week. The sad part? Other than school coming to a close I have nothing to write about…… talk to me in a couple days.

I sure have been writing on here a lot! But really who can blame me? I’m spending pretty much my entire life doing school stuff — this seems like the only break I am getting (except work and driving and sleep and watching Ellen with Sparkle this morning). And besdies, so many important milestones are going past me daily! Such as: moments ago I finished my last Economic’s assignment! That’s a pretty good feeling considering I’ve been hating economic’s for about 3 months now! All I have to do is write the final and it’s out of my life forever! Yay!

So I drove up yesterday and saw all the cars in the ditch at Leduc but I made it and so far have had pretty good luck with the whole driving thing. I also moved out of the wonderful place called HUB on Sunday! (Special Thanks goes out to Ma & Pop & Tanya) Woo — I have never been so happy to move out of a place. It is a little bitter sweet though cause it means that I am that much closer to not being a student anymore and I’m not a few feet away from Tanya at all times. Oh and I’m kinda homeless when I’m up at school. But my wonderful brother and sister-in-law have been nice enough to let me stay with them for a few nights a week. It really is very nice of them! That’s why I got to watch Ellen this morning with Sparkle cuddled up beside me (we bonded until I made her go to her room while I showered. She gave me a look that meant so many things — I was almost scared. Then I remembered that she is a dog).

Hmmmmm….. what else? Oh yeah! Countdown:

Days Until done degree: 14
Days of actual School: 5
Days until Dominican: 55
Days until GnR concert: 9
Days until Aerosmith & Motley Crue concert: 11

I love countdowns! It makes it seem like everything is getting closer! For example: In a mere 55 days Tammy, Jodi, and I will be drinking free pina coladas on a nice warm beach! Or in only 14 days I will be done school —- that sounds so much better than December 12th!
