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.

I have just waited an hour for another photo to upload...I give up...for now.

Shopping and Aaron Pritchett!

Today I went shopping with a great gal pal of mine - Jenn! We got a lot of Christmas shopping done, which is great! I even got myself a present from Santa :)

Tomorrow night I am off to the Aaron Pritchett concert with some friends of mine - it should be a blast :)

I don't have too much else to report on. It's back to school on Monday and two weeks left of practicum :) Graduation here I come!!! I'm sooooo excited, I have the dress, the shoes, the sexy under pieces, the hair appointment, the hair clip and the date :) YIPPEEEEE so much fun!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend :)

A little bit of everything...

I found out where I'll be doing my final teaching practicum.............Maple Bay Elementary in Grade Two with the bestest teacher ever!!!!!!!! And my Momma is the secretary there!!!!! This is gonna be so much fun for my last practicum before I graduate!!! So excited!

I don't have too much else to report...

The family that I was a nanny for this summer is potentially coming over for a visit next Sunday - they live in Vancouver and I'm on Vancouver Island. If the weather is rainy they will post-pone though....but I hope I see them sooner than later :-) I miss those cute little dudes!

I'll update the dating scene soon... ;-) Stories, stories, stories...as always! hehehe I'll give you one little tid bit - Porsche Boxster Convertible!

Back in School :-(

Here I sit in class, for the second week in a row, and yes it is Aug. 27th. SUMMER IS NOT OVER PEOPLE! I am sitting in a computer lab awaiting my instruction on what I am to work on next. As you can tell I am a little bitter. However, like I have said before, the quicker I start the quicker I am done! Graduation is December 14th! So exciting! Let my life begin!

In happy news, I am heading camping for a night or two with my friends - we have Fridays off :-) And I also have a date this weekend! Hopefully this one goes better than the last - eeek! All I can say is he talked way too much, and not only that but it was all about him! PAINFUL!

So I'm sure you're thinking, "I thought she had a boyfriend?" Well I did. We broke up just over a month ago. So onward and upward :-) But look on the bright side - now you get to hear of all my funny dating stories again hahaha.

Also, I'm hoping the weather holds out this weekend as my parents finally purchased a sea biscuit for the boat and I am dying to get out and try it. I was like 10 the last time we had one (we gave it away with the boat when we sold it years ago). We now have another boat and are just getting back into the fun watersports that can be done with a boat :-)

Hope all of you have a great week, and just be thankful you're not sitting in a stuffy computer lab ;-(
