Messed up people, Adventure and a little dancing!

Well, it is Tuesday and already the end of April. I can not believe how fast this year is going.

I want to start things off by commenting on the horrible things people are capable of! I know this isn't the worst that people have done but I am still in disbelief that a man kidnapped his own daughter and held her captive in his own basement for 24 years and had 7 children with her!

How is something like that possible? How can a person get away with that?? It makes you wonder how many other "missing" people are being held captive right now. We also heard of the girl found recently who was held for 9 years. What the hell is wrong with people?

Makes me wonder if right to privacy should be trumped by the right to personal safety. I can imagine that might stir up a bit of a debate.

Anyway. On to better and brighter topics..

I bumped into my old Mount Royal Tech writing professor yesterday.. While walking to my car from work.. I just ran into him (not literally) on the street.

He said, "Hi Shannon" :P

I said "No, it's Pia" and suddenly he looked all confused.. Then I told him I wouldn't expect him to recognize me since I had lost 150lbs.

He asked what I was doing work wise and I told him.. He was really happy to hear I was working in my field lol.

Shannon.. Pfft!

I walked to my car from work yesterday and dispite the blisters (I need better socks and a new pair of good walking shoes) it was really nice.. the weather was great too which made things even more enjoyable! Even with the blisters, I may be walking to my car again today so that I can pick up a connector for my rain barrel at the Clean Calgary Store. It is about a year overdue lol.

I am excited about this weekend. I'll be going dancing Saturday night which I haven't done in years. As a matter of fact, I am smaller now than I was when I used to go dancing so I am pumped!

I also can't wait for the horseback riding trip which happens next Saturday May 10th. Lauren and I are also already planning our first hiking trip in May and we'll be planning camping for June/July too! I need to get my gardening hat on too so I can start planning what to plant.

I have some hyacinth bulbs which were supposed to be planted in the fall but I didn't get to it and now they are still looking healthy so I want to see about growing them.

I'm also looking to do a cleanse soon. Something to detox my liver! Nothing where I have to limit my food intake to broccoli everyday for a week or anything like that though.

I am expecting this Summer to be very adventurous.

Bring...

It...

On...!
