So school is kicking my ass (I hate November) and I'd like to kick my program coordinator's ass... for the second year in a year he's messed up my practicum and therefore my life come April... He finally checked back with KCA after no news for two months and told me sorry no can do and because he's waited so damn long I now can't get a practicum in Kimberley... so it looks like I'll be driving to Creston or possibly Fernie every day back and forth in 7 weeks in the spring and one week this December...

But on a happier note... my new down duvet will cost about $200 and hey every duvet cover that we actually like costs about the same... how the hell does that make sense...

crap I'm so pissed off... at least Sheilah said I don't have to teach today... because I think I'd probably start crying during my lesson...

God I wish my uterus didn't make me so hormonal and cranky, but hey at least I'm not pregnant...

Well I guess it's time for an update Had a lovely series of trips over the Canada Day holidays Picked K up from Nelson on the 30th and after somje lovely shopping brought her back here to see the house in decent weather. we went to Fort steele with S on the 1st, and then to the fireworks in the evening with B and S+A+kids, then on the 2nd I drove K back to Nelson and S came along for the ride... Then on the 3rd I drove to Creston and back from my aunt and uncle's 25th wedding anniversary. Work has been good all week long, I'm really enjoying it, my boss is great and laid back... and I can work as much o/t as I want (so it seems) This morning I primed these massive concrete flower pots that are in front of the store (a bunch of business along the strip have them as part of a city beautification project) Tomorrow I'm going in early again to finish priming the last one and then I'll start painting them and hopefully we can start on the ladybugs early next week. John thinks the city people are grading businesses on the 20th and Kirsten thinks it's the 10th, it's most likely the 20th, so hopefully we'll have time... and then they'll kind of blend in with the mural she's painting... We finished the first coat of stain on our house!! it looks so much better!! This sunday the 10th is our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY... we're going to hot springs... ainsworth, radium or fairmont, not too sure yet, but we're staying at one of those places tomorrow night, so we should pick soon... and as a present to ourselves we're installing flooring in our kitchen!! Hurrah!! I brought home smaples from work today! My growing MAC addiction was fed by Kerry when she visited and through several on-line purchases, I keep telling B that this was I'll spend less when we go to Vancouver, but he doesn't think my logic works, he actually thinks I'll end up spending way more than I had originally planned (which might be true) for the future, work, work and more work and a second coat of stain for the house, then we'll work on the trim oh yes, and we got our IPod Shuffle... I love it... I got listen wo music while I painted today!!

Monday - Long day at Steeples (8am to 5 pm), spent time getting to know the kids and helped out with small groups and did one-to-one work; went to a staff meeting; did art lesson planning; blair worked nights.

Tuesday - Went to the music festival with the class, yet another long day; did science lesson planning; blair worked nights.

Wednesday - You guessed it another long day... dictated spelling pre-tests; helped with Math; went to an assembly; helped with the class's bake sale at recess; for some reason was included in the class and school pictures; did no lesson planning, yah!; Pulled my quad (slight tear also) at Levis's awards ceremony... went to emerg because I could hadrly walk, yah for drugs; blair worked nights and had no idea I was in pain.

Thursday - Met with my Uvic supervisor, she loved my lesson planning and I got the go ahead for all my lessons; I can't remember much else... ah yes, did lesson prep at school; blair was supposed to be home, but worked nights.

Friday - Taught my first art lesson, what chaos! but my sponser teacher thinks it went good for a first lesson, likes my classroom management style (firm but friendly); dictated spelling tests; dictated Crabrook-a-thon tests; yet another assembly; Pitch-in garbage pick up; Blair worked nights; helped the Thompson's set up their garage sale with Sarah and then came back here to make cookies (earl grey tea and potato chip) and watch a movie (Le Divorce) at 11pm (had cinnabon flavoured popcorn); stayed up until 3am so that I could sleep with blair when he got home at 9.

Saturday - slept in with blair; cleaned out the fridge and cleaned up the kitchen; ran errands; did laundry; cleaned the oven; made a yummy dinner; blair told me my eye was bright pink; pulled weeds; spend a great evening working with blair; at 11:30pm realized I had gotten oven cleaner in my eye, blair rinsed my eye out, called my mom, who told me to call poison control, who told me to go immediately to the hospital, went there and had my eye rinsed again and nasty ointment put in it... and because the oven cleaner had been in my eye for 6 hours at this point, was informed that I had a nasty chemical burn in my right eye and that I needed to buy said nasty ointment and if my eye was still pink in 24 hours (even more pink right now than it was before) I was to go back to the hospital on monday morning for further checkup and will possibly need to see an eye specialist... hurrah however, I have to be at Steeples at 8am on monday morning, and I have no idea who to inform that I probably will not be able to be there...

Sunday - Blair's worked a day shift at the mill, so I've been bumming around; cleaned the bathroom; hung out with S+A; ate yummy cookies and watermelon; read my book; had a nap; and now I will consider making dinner, but probably won't because I don't know if Blair will want to eat when he gets home...

Yah for a fun filled week with two visits to the hospital!! I swear my body has something against me right now, first the chest infction and now this... damnit body... behave!

current length

Note in advance... no I am not suffering from blond envy, just take a look at the very similar, but slightly different versions of long slightly layered hair

      

idea 1 + idea 2 (basically the same as 1)


idea 3

        
idea 4 + idea 5
