One week left...

One week of summer left for this Teacher :( I've loved having everyday to do with as I please - that has not happened since high school! But what was better about this summer was I actually have funds and a car, unlike high school summers off ;-) As much as I've loved having time off I'm totally ready to head back to work to replenish my bank account! This will be my first full year of substituting and I hope it's pretty steady! I'm scared that September will be slow :( Maybe there will be some teachers not ready to come back to work hehehe. Doubtful!

I'm also hoping this will be my lucky year and get a teaching contract! It doesn't have to be full time, it could be one day a week and I'd be a happy camper - obviously I get to sub on the rest of the days of the week. But I'd like this year to be the year I get my foot in the door!

I'm spending my last week off with my man :) I couldn't think of a better way to spend my last week off!!! I think my next post just may have to be about him and include some pictures - I'm over my superstitiousness about posting about his greatness ;-)

Summer Update!

I did it! I picked a new blog template!!! And I'm quite happy with it's sophistication! I LOVE it! Now if I'd only use it more often ;-)

This summer has been fantastic! I have NOT worked so that means each and every day is MINE! I am still mooching off my parents so that I can save save save for a house or condo :) So along with mooching I get the privilege of spending my days at the lake we live on! My mom is a school secretary so she also has summers off and we spend our days basking in the sun, swimming and visiting. It's a rough life. I have been busy with friends as well - the girls try to get together at least once a week and now one of my girls has a brand new baby boy so we let him join in the girl time ;-) Two of my girlfriends and I hosted a baby shower for her on the weekend and it went splendid! Maybe that can be the next post :)

In other news I'm no longer a single gal :) but I am afraid to blog about him or how great he is for fear it will jinx it hehehe. One day you shall learn of him :)

This coming up weekend my brother is coming home from Edmonton to visit!!! He hasn't been home in a year!!! We are all very excited! We are going boating and having a BBQ and just anything fun we can cram into his week long visit!

Even though I'm loving having my summer free, I'm a leetle bit ready to get paid again for doing what I love - TEACHING!!!

Hope you're all having a happy summer!
