Last month I had urged quite a few of my friends to help me vote for my hometown of Kingsville for Kraft Hockeyville 2008. Well, we made it into the Top 10; then we beat Huntsville to get ourselves into the TOP 5!!! Wow! This is a major accomplishment for such a small town that is so close to the American border. We'd really love to prove that we ( Read more... )

If would like the opportunity to say goodbye to life as you know it, pursue a career as a teacher. Everyone always said to me that your first year of teacher is hell - it was never that I did not believe them, but I suppose I saw it different from what I am experiencing now. And I do not mean to complain (that isn't what I am trying to do here) but ( Read more... )

In Toronto, stealing a network connection from somewhere in the building. More to follow, promise, once we have regular internet and I'm not freaking out about my first day of work. Off to watch Hot Fuzz.

I had a wonderful day with Christina yesterday, eating lunch at Tango downtown and enjoying a pedicure in the late afternoon. We felt lazy and decided to come home and watch television which, of course, included the America's Got Talent finale.

As of last week, I am an official member of the Ontario College of Teachers. So awesome!

Further updates coming soon. There is much to catch up on.

Spoiler: I may be coming back to Windsor for Canada Day weekend.

I don't know what to do with myself right now. (Should I start singing the White Stripes song?) I've worked mornings the past few days, and had my evenings free, mostly due to my request so I could watch the American Idol finale. Which, might I add, I am not too impressed with. If it was going to be Jordin vs. Blake, I'd have given it to the beat- ( Read more... )

I started getting super sick last week, and it's gradually been getting worse. So bad, in fact, that the other day I just fell over. Equilibrium has gone awry. I went to the clinic last night (which was an endeavor in itself) and was told it was clearing up. For extra measure, I gave myself a double dose of medicine and ended up passing out at 10: ( Read more... )
