    Good Book Suggestions?

    Well, the Hubster and I have been living in Shop City (it’s a working name.. we’ll see if it sticks) for one full week now, and today we are going to make it official. Screw changing our licenses, health cards or all that (important) stuff… …we are going to go get library cards. I always feel like you really live in a city when you get a library card and take out your first book with said shiny new plastic rectangular piece. So, here is where I need your help. I have been up to my elbows in books about the Amish for the past 4 months (SUCH an interesting…

    So, I Think I Can Dance*

    Ok. Just quick post as the Hubs and I are off to watch a movie, but I’m trying to get back into this whole posting every day thing because, well, I love you. And I’m tired of your harassment that I’m not posting enough. haha! I kid, I kid. So, I know not everyone out there loves it, but can I just say how excited I am that So You Think You Can Dance is back?!? AH! I am one of those girls who alllllways wanted to be a dancer but ended up in hockey instead. (Actually, it was ringette… but hockey is less complicated to explain. haha) I watch…

    The Dreaded Downsize*

    (Ignore the alcohol box… we are not boozers! I swear!) Anyone want to come and unpack my apartment for me? Anyone? Anyone? One of the worst aspects of this whole moving thing is that not every apartment is the same layout. Our last apartment was very open-concept. One huge living room, one huge bedroom and a decent size bathroom and kitchen. All of the furniture we have fit well into this open-concept space. A lot of it is quite big (the hutch, shelves, wardrobe, etc) so finding spaces for it in our new place has been… interesting. It’s like a tetris game. “Well, this piece will fit here if I…

    The Big Move*

    We made it. We are finally here in our new apartment in –blank–. (I’ve yet to come up with a wondrously clever “blog name” for our new city. It’s coming.) After a week of non-stop packing, we were set to move bright and early Friday morning. And then we had a couple of… hiccups. The Hubster and his dad left to get the truck just before 9am, expecting to be back by 9:30 when everyone who had volunteered to come help was set to arrive. Perfect, right? Ha. At around, ohh, 9:20am the phone rang. It was the Hubster. A very frustrated Hubster informing me that the company’s computers were…

    What I’ve Been Up To*

    Hiya, folks. Well, after two new lovely people decided to follow me in recent days whilst my blogging track record has been pitiful, I thought I should probably update you with what’s been going on over here in Senior’s City. So. Almost 4 weeks ago I said a sad farewell to the Hubs and left to go live in The City for 3 weeks to finish my final teacher’s college placement. I was placed in an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (forever hereafter known as ASD) classroom. I was terrified. Before going into this class I had no experience with Special Education classrooms or students–I had had students with IEP’s (Individualized Education…
