Halloween!!!

This is one of my favorite times of year, aside from Christmas of course!!!

I work at a salon that is inside a little mall. The mall administration actually give candy to each store so that we can hand it out to all the kids that come in! It really is a ton of fun and it makes it a lot easier on the parents who don't want to take there kids out in the cold October evening honestly. My favourite part of the whole thing is handing out candies to all the kids. 

This year, we got about 25 kids, but some weren't even dressed up and were very rude. It saddened me a lot to see what Halloween has turned into. We gave out full size chocolate bars and I let the kids chose which ones they wanted and some took more then one, even though I told them to only take one each. They way I remember Halloween was nothing like that.

Although, I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason my Halloweens were so different and exciting had a lot to do with where i grew up. Being from a small town, I was raised a little differently and had a lot of great adventures as a kid. One of those was Halloween. After school we would all go to the community hall and have a fun Halloween party that usually involved food, a costume parade as well as a few games. This event was usually put together by some parent volunteers and then after we went all around town trick or treating! I could hardly wait when I was a kid and honestly, I feel like kids all around just kind of take the candy they receive for granted and it breaks my heart.

I wish they would understand that not all kids get to dress up in a nice costume that their parents bought for them and then receive candy out of the generosity of their neighbours. I hope that when I have kids, I can give them the most exciting experience, like I had has a kid. To this day I love dressing up and there hasn't been a day I haven't. 

Now that Halloween is over, time for Christmas.... Don't even get me started on Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!

My Very Own Eulogy and Obituary.

This may be a morbid one! I had to write my own eulogy and obituary for a class! Enjoy! Obituary: Shelby Robyn Collett, 23, of Calgary, Alberta passed away on November 12, 2015 after fighting a very long and hard battle. She was born on January 25, 1992 in Drumheller, Alberta, she was the only daughter of Ralph Collett and Yvonne Comstock. She graduated from Strathmore High School in 2010 and was in the middle of completing her teaching degree at Mount Royal University. Shelby is survived by her parents, her grandparents, George and Jewel Comstock, her sister Paige Severtson (Brad), her brother Casey Collett (Pam) and her nieces and nephews, Dayne, Kali, Carson, Grady and Lila. Along with numerous special aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.  A celebration of Shelby's life will be held in Hussar, Alberta on November 17, 2015 and Shelby made a request that bright colours are to be worn as well as that in lieu of flowers please make donations to a charity of your choice. ...

First Things First!

My name is Shelby. I am a indecisive 20 year old from Alberta! I was born and raised in Alberta, I am from a teeny tiny town that no one has ever heard of. So,  half the time I don't even tell people. It just creates a big mess of trying to explain where it is and the other person truly thinking that it is somewhere in Siberia.  I was born on January 25th , to two people who have been together for about 26 years now! Never married though, just engaged =) It is sooo confusing trying to explain to people my parents situation! We have 2 houses, because my Dad works in the city 6 days out of the week. Everyone just assumes my parents are divorced, seeing as how they don't get to live together and they have different last names! I would probably assume the same thing if someone told me that weird story haha! I have 1 sister that is my very best friend. She is 9 years older then me, is married with 2 kids and 1 more on the way!!! She has 2 little boys that are absolu...

Miss me?!

Hello, you beautiful and wonderful people! Well it seems it has been awhile since I wrote last and I honestly cannot believe it has been over 8 years since I started this blog, man, if I had kept up it would have been amazing.... But seeing as how I haven't written in 2 years, it is not so miraculous.  Anywho, I have been trying to focus more on self care these days and I remember how much I enjoyed writing in here. So... What's new? Uhmm I want to take the easy way out and say nothing but it has been 2 years, so obviously something is new! 1. I called it quits with my B.Ed for honestly, a lot of different reasons. 2. I went back to doing hair - who would have thought! 3. I went through a really hard breakup and a broken heart. 4. I met the most wonderful human. 5. I dealt with a lot of death. 6. I am starting to figure myself out. Well, where shall we start to elaborate on any of that... How about school...  Well, I did almost 2 years of school and it was hard....
