Wii......

5am...

This is the time my day started today. Why, you ask? Because I had to have this...



The Wii Fit! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Wii gaming system and have not heard about the excitement surrounding the release of Wii Fit (game) you must live in a cave! JK This game is super cool! It gets people up off the couch and is like having a personal trainer in your own living room. The games are fun and you don't even feel like you are exercising! Check it out more here... http://www.nintendo.com/wiifit/launch/

I recommend this to anyone who gets bored with running or has trouble making it to the gym :-)

Quick Trip...

I left Friday evening on a flight to Edmonton to visit my big brother! He just moved into his own basement suite and needed some furniture so I spent his money picking out things he needed :) It was fun. He showed me around the big city, we went to West Edmonton Mall for a short time - I've been there before, and we also went to the outlet stores (Guess and Mexx to name a few). I just love outlet stores. I returned on Sunday evening and was pretty tired.

We had a great visit and a lot of fun together - I can't wait to go back because I miss him every day!

I took some pictures from the plane which look really cool - have a peek!

Warning: Scattered Update

First order of business - If you read my last post, right to the bottom, you would now know that I am a WORKING teacher! I am on the substitute teacher list, which is no longer called that. It is called the TOC list (teacher on call). I have worked everyday since getting hired - which is apparently uncommon. I sure hope it's not beginners luck and that I keep getting called everyday!!!

With working comes the ever so lovely paycheque!!! I may or may not have done a LEETLE damage with that sucker! I bought new teaching clothes - that's kind of a necessary, right?

And new bedding to go with my newly painted and decorated room.







And then I bought something REALLY fun...



It's a GPS, but not JUST a GPS.......it's a PINK GPS!!!

This cute little thang is AWESOME! It even lets you download different cars - clearly I downloaded a pink one!

Now for your job. I want to name my new little helper, but I need some ideas???

Argh!

I graduated a month and half ago. I have two degrees and have been certified to teach in BC. I have NO job! Nobody is hiring here in the Cowichan School District - I was told maybe in April! Nobody wants to hire me for a part time job as they know I will leave them if I get a call to go teach. This SUCKS!





So I decided to do a mini-makeover of my bedroom. I painted a nice shade of brown (I'll post pictures when my room is all done). It would be nice to purchase bedding that matches my new paint job - but I have NO job, which means I have NO money! Am I coming across bitter? GOOD! I AM!

I did have a craft day and I made this sign! I had seen one in Linens and Things but it wasn't big enough. So I made my own! What do you think?



At 1:23 today I got called to be on the TOC (teacher on call or aka substitute teacher list) WOOT! WOOT! NOT SO BITTER ANYMORE! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!

Little Dudes and Spew

After Christmas I went to visit/nanny with the family that I was nanny for this past summer. It was a lot of fun. I got to spend quality one on one time with each of my little dudes. We went skating, went to the park, visited with their family, had a new years party - fun fun fun!

For the new years party we used the fondu set that they had given me for Christmas and invited some of their friends over and had a whole fondu spread. Cheese, meat and chocolate fonudus!

Sounds like a great time, right? It was...until...

I GOT VIOLENTLY SICK the last night I was there. The little dudes had thrown up once and twice at the beginning of my stay but I had managed to avoid it, so I though. I threw up so much and so hard it felt like I had been beat with a rubber hose. I got home that morning and then a few days later I got broncitis and a sinus infection! Today is the first day I feel like I can function since last Wednesday.

Here are some pictures I took of my little dudes with my new PINK Sony Cybershot T70! Thanks Santa! ;-)

Have you heard the news???

It is official.......I'm a TEACHER!

I graduated on December 14 and before I even walked across that stage I had already sent my application in for the substitue teacher list. Hopefully in Jan. I get the call to come for my interview :) As for now I am enjoying my well earned time off and not using my brain for anything but fun stuff :)

After the graduation ceremony my grad class of about 50 plus dates went to the Grande Hotel in Nanaimo and had a wonderful dinner and visited with the people that we had been in a class with for the last 3 and half years and will probably not see for quite some time, if at all ever again.

Here is a picture of me - The TEACHER!!!



I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!!
I hope Santa is good to all of you!!!

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!!

Last night I spiced up my life at the SPICE GIRLS CONCERT! It was awesome! Even David Beckham and their boys were there watching mom on her opening night. They were actually in the box up behind us..it was pretty cool! Here are the pictures and video from the concert.
