Today Gigi & I met up for lunch. We had lots to talk about, what, with my trip ending so horribly and all. After lunch we went to the theatre to try and see New Moon. But as we walked up we noticed a huge long line. We made some back up choices. I asked the ticket lady about the line. She said it was for the 3:50 showing but the 3:15 showing was still available, that they had only sold 60% of the available tickets. It was 3:20. She said they were still showing previews. We bought our tickets then I stood in line for the drinks while Gigi went to get our seats. We made it in! It was so good! I hate all the team Edward & team Jacob stuff I’m seeing because I can’t pick! I wanna be on both teams! The only thing I don’t like about these movies is wooden Kristen Stewart. I’m sure she’s a lovely girl but come on! She sounds and looks the same when she’s opening a birthday present or when she’s supposed to be terrified. She’s gonna bite that lip right off! At one point I noticed out of the corner of my eye Gigi’s hand was outstretched. She was reaching for Jacob. Bahaha! We felt a bit like pervy cougars but YOU try looking at shirtless wolf boys and sparkly vamp guys for 2 hours and not drool a bit. Or at least let out a little “Oh my!”
I’m back from my trip. Started out well, ended horribly. Like movie of the week horribly. Nightmares horribly. So if I post about the bad stuff it will be password protected. Lemme know if you need the pw. Heyshanny at gmail dot com.
Still recovering. Still no computer so pics will be limited for a bit.
Bear/bare with me.
Swatch had their flagship re-opening Thursday the 12th & it was great event! I have attached an exclusive photo of the “FULL BLOODED WHITE” watch, which I love!

Saturday morning I’m hitting the road for Florida. First to Nanny’s house for a couple nights, then on to our cruise. For those of you just tuning in, Nanny is my 86 year old Irish grandmother. She married my Pappy during the war and moved from Ireland to America with him. He was a dashing American soldier so who could resist? She still has a pretty thick accent and is full of spunk. Pappy died 2 years ago and Nanny’s been down lately. I’m hoping this trip will beer her up.
We’ve been talking a lot in preparation for the trip. She’s so funny. She was telling me “Now Shannon. I can’t walk around in all that heat in Nassau so I’m going to stay on board & enjoy the ship. But perhaps you’ll meet a nice wee girl and you can visit the island with her & her family. Maybe you’ll make a friend at dinner you can tour around with.” Uh, Nanny. That’s not how this works. Hi! We’re the Smith family! Who wants to tag along on our Caribbean vacation? Oh, are you traveling with your frail, elderly grandmother? Perhaps I shall kill you both and rob you of all your posessions. Or maybe I shall sell you into a life of slavery and no DVRs or internet shopping.
I’d better set her straight before she strikes up a deal with some swarthy seaman!
Power Ranger!
As Batman!

This year for Halloween we went to Papa & Gigi’s house. Every year all the neighbors in their cul-de-sac gather together to eat and pass out candy. We’ve always heard about it but have never seen it in action. Sara, Marc, Jacob, Joey & I piled into their truck with our potluck dishes, card table, and chairs and joined the fun. Everything was going great til the rain started. It rained and rained. We sat out there under umbrellas ( yet somehow still getting soaked) passing out candy to the trooper trick or treaters. I went inside with Momo around 7 to do her Halloween makeup. She was a she devil & looked great!
Busy day today! Baking in the morning and a Halloween gathering tonight. Hope y’all have a bootiful day!
Last night I went to my first focus group. It was for Carolina Pad, the same company that sponsored my Hot Chocolate giveaway. We were there for 2 hours discussing notebook design and functionality. For our time we each received $30 and a cute gift set of products. It was fun and who doesn’t love swag?! You know I love office supplies so I can certainly chat about them. I hope to do some more of these soon!
