Book Club*
I’ve started a book club. Lilac Dreamer and I were chatting about our mutual love of reading, and having personally seen the Jane Austen Book Club recently and LOVING it, it dawned on me: we need one. So, after careful discussion, Lilac Dreamer discussed several name possibilities and came up with: Book Club. We are creative geniuses. :) We decided we wanted to try and keep it small, and so far have found 4 more fellow book-lovers to join us, two of which are on my list of favourite bloggers: Soaking up the Sun (aka K*) and Grey Eyed Girl. I’m excited for our fabulous discussions. Here’s how it’s going…

Graduation*
I am officially a university graduate. It’s kind of unreal… while I was going through them the last 4 years of school seemed to drag on forever and never end, but now that they are finished, I’m not quite sure where they went. It seems like yesterday that my Dad sat me down in his office two days before the university acceptance deadline and gently (albeit firmly) told me that I needed to choose a direction for my life and go to school. I was devastated at the time as I chose to take it like he was kicking me out, and I was terrified about my future. I had…

NEWS FLASH*
Well… I have some bad news… It looks like all of you won’t be hearing about my experiences at River City U next year. …BECAUSE I WAS FINALLY ACCEPTED AT HIPPIE U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! *insert insanely happy dance involving bananas here* Okay. Here’s the story: you all know that I have been fighting with the teacher’s college for some time trying to find out why I was not initially accepted and to try and get a spot there. Every where I went I hit a brick wall and could get no answers. About two weeks ago we exhausted our last option and were told that I would not be accepted and…

Chapter Nineteen* Hubster vs. Big Dad
This is the story of how the Hubster and I met, fell in love, and were married within 8 months… …and lived happily ever after* I should really have asked the Hubster to write this chapter, but I’ll do my best to do it justice. By the beginning of March (2005) I had not only been visiting cloud nine for several few weeks–I had moved in and was living there. Once the Hubster had dropped the possibility of “the M word” to me, it was all I could think about. I had been excited about marriage since I was a little girl, but any time I had attached the idea…

The Glass Door Incident*
I sometimes like to think of myself as a swan of sorts. However, being a swan now means that I was once an ugly duckling… with a bright future of becoming a swan, of course. I was not one of those “prissy” girls that has cared about her appearance since 6 years of age. In fact, I don’t even think I became aware of what my outer appearance looked like to other people until grade 9 or 10. Which is why I allowed myself to wear these glasses and think that they were cool.*sigh* Was I ever that young? They were my first pair. I got them just before the…
