woops. I'm a week-long blog slacker. So, I'll give you an instant week re-cap. I didn't do the Artist's Way entries. I didn't do much lesson planning. I didn't go to school Thursday afternoon (and all day Friday) because I was barfing. I didn't…Monday- hmm.. lazy day again (i'm so not in the teaching groove [...]

ahh.. too snowy to go meet Meghan and Paul today (cry. sob… I'm sad). . Hopefully we can meet up next week on our way back from the T dot. I did, however, manage to “cook up” (ie. knit) some sushi pieces.  (the white looks peach, and I don't know why. my camera sucks) They don't [...]
Another school closure day! (mmm ever since Wiarton Willie predicted an early spring, we've had about 5 snow days. heh.) All of the main roads in Bruce, Grey, Wellington, Huron counties are closed! So what did we do on our snowday? Rob taught me and my dad the “basics” of snowboarding over at the flats. [...]
aha! My secret pal has done it again! I arrived home (early from school, they sent the “out-of towner” teachers home because they were afraid of the storm coming) to a package! Inside was a valentines day card with a cool twist. (almost like a scavenger hunt!!) I was given a magazine, and told to [...]
artist date: potter`s paradise
Published February 16th, 2006 in inspiration and other crafts. 0 Commentsahh. I've been slacking with my morning pages this week. I've skipped two days in a row! (ok ok, so the book isn't right beside my bed like normal, that may be part of the reason.) I did, however, have a date with my Artist today (these dates are so easy!) I found Potters Paradise [...]
I like the new LJ richtext view..
Published February 15th, 2006 in general randomness, swaps & mail and teaching duds. 0 CommentsHappy Valentine's Day, readers! Things are a-ok on this end. Rob brought me some red tulips (yay!) today and we had a nice romantic pizza dinner with my parents. heh! School was ok today too. I wore these pants— but I had the sensation of “I can't teach” today. It was a bummer rut, and [...]
5 year olds are so darn cute
Published February 10th, 2006 in friends, inspiration and teaching duds. 0 CommentsLinneah (in senior kindergarten) drew me this picture. She's so cute. There I am with the COOLEST orange shoes and my glasses. heh. She also drew every kid in her class (and she told me who each one of them was!)- She's the one sitting in front of the “TV”. She's the best. “My three [...]
Snowday #2 (in a row, that is). There is no way I’ll be lucky to get 3 in a row (the highways are open now mostly, except for 21) Anyways. I checked the mail today and there was a package from Chapters, yeehaw. I ordered: The PostSecret book. Very cool. I didn’t ever send any [...]
Accomplishments on my snowday: – started a new pair of light blue mary-janes (medium) – went for a brisk walk uptown for dinner with dad – gesso'd a bunch of blank pages for a clean slate – mapped out my Toronto trip (hurray for Queen St. W, Body Worlds 2 and Second City!) – printed [...]
Yesterday on my way home from Guelph was icky! Very white-outishy and lots of drifting and wind (your typical snowsquall). There were tonnes of accidents and the highways started being closed. All night the wind was howling and the whole upstairs of the cottage (where we sleep) was creeking and shifting. It felt like someone [...]
