Shop Girl Shares Your Wishcake and There, I Fixed It*
So I’ve spent the last week and half looking forward to tonight. A good friend of mine recently told me that the outrageous fees I pay for a tiny card that says I can be a teacher in Ontario are not all for naught. That magical little card that sits in my wallet gives me discounts or free admission into many, many wonderful attractions across the province. Ummm… why was I not told this earlier?! Seriously! It changed my life. As soon as he told me I spent nearly two hours investigating all the things I could do with my magic card and found out that there was a free…

So, Tell Me a Little Bit About Yourself*
I think about things. A lot. And ever since teacher’s college I’ve found myself to be reflecting about who I am and what makes me ‘me’ on a regular basis. One of the things I hate most about interviews / getting-to-know-yous of any sort is the dreaded, inevitable invitation, “So, tell me a little bit about yourself”. For some people this would be the simplest question to answer. For me, I feel like a huge spotlight is glaring into my soul and what they are really asking is, “So, who are you?” My knee-jerk response is always, “Well, I’m 24, a teacher, and I’m married.” But then I think, is…

Shop Girl Shares The Good Girl Gone Blog & Robert Munsch*
(image found at: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/0/04/Turkey.jpg) Happy Thanksgiving! I know it’s not for a few weeks for those of you south of the border, but this is turkey weekend up here and it was dang good. As we were unable to get the time off work to join my family up in the Great White North and the Hubs’ family has moved we weren’t sure what we were going to do for the holidays. Thankfully it looks like several of our friends’ families are trying to adopt us and we found ourselves with two invitations to big turkey dinners. We ended up spending a wonderful evening at Too Kool’s with his family…

Work, School and a side of Volunteering*
(image found at: http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/geekandpoke/images/2008/04/12/busytimes.jpg) My life has changed quite a bit these past few weeks. I went from being an unemployed blogger who sat at home all day to a busy little bee (who sometimes thinks I may have taken on too much) in a matter of days. Sadly, I know it’s affected my writing a little bit, and it’s definitely affected my reading / commenting which hurts my heart. I have to do it all in blocks now which is SO much less fun. This is the new me in a nutshell: The Job I’m happy to say that in many ways my job has really improved. My coworkers…

Let’s Talk TV*
I’ve always been a voracious reader (I lived in books as a child. Seriously. There is home video footage of me sitting in my living room reading amidst a pile of books with absolute sibling chaos going on around me… and I am oblivious to it all. I heart books with some good hearting.) …but I have also always loved watching TV. When my brothers and sisters and I were small, my parents believed that we needed to foster our imagination / mind through books and outside play, so out “TV time” was limited to evenings… and Friday night was always the best. Friday night was Chip Night. Every Friday…
