Hi all!

I will be landing in Saskatoon on the 16th (Saturday) at about 9:00PM. If you want to keep up to the minute on delays, I will be on AC8837 operated by Air Canada Jazz.


In other good news, I have clean teeth and no cavities!

happily pedicured toes!

Addicted to procrastinating!

ARG! I have to clean my classroom but I cannot motivate myself to do it. So silly! What I used to do, in the old days of studying, was clean in order to procrastinate. So perhaps I have to study, which is sort of what I've been doing. Studying people's profiles on facebook, studying upcoming events in Saskatoon so I can plan out my first days, studying my thoughts.

Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. I woke up to find my watch battery was dead and I had stomach cramps. At school, I learned that another one of my darling students is moving (to Thailand) over the summer. She just found out on Wednesday. So many of my lovely students are graduating or moving. Hopefully we'll get a new crop of good ones (preferably musically inclined) next year.

After school I decided to go home to rest. I started the car and went to put something in my classroom. Little did I know that by closing the door, it would automatically lock the doors. Everything was in the car at that point! Luckily, I had planned to drive my neighbour home so she called our principal to see what we should do as I was ready to cry. He gave her the number of a mechanic nearby the school who came and jimmied open the lock.

Top this off with the overall heat and humidity being entirely intolerable- I was so cranky and tired and frustrated...but I managed to go home and relax for a bit, cheer myself up and then go run a couple errands including acquiring a new watch battery, and treat myself to a chocolate banana milkshake.

As for the weather, it's hot today but not so humid that perspiration begins the moment you step outside.

In other good news, I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. Hurray! Clean teeth.

I will be home on the 16th, time to be confirmed!

Two Thumbs Up!

Congratulations to Jen and Darren, my favourite newlyweds. I am happy for you and cannot wait to see you!


And in my own good news (nothing to do with love, marriage, etc.) all I have left to do is finish entering marks and clean my classroom. Hurrah!

Secondly, I will be the Visual and Performing Arts department chair next year. All this means is I will be attending more meetings and in charge of putting out fires amongst the folks in the department. Good times. It's a very small pay increase, and good resume experience.

That's all for now.

XOXO

pashmina

to clarify:

Pashminas are tightly woven fabrics that can be used as scarves or shawls. I love them and think they are the classiest accessories of all time. In the Dubai photo in the last post, I am wearing a pashmina as a scarf. Varying qualities equate varying prices. They are mulit-use- I use them as sofa accents and table runners in addition to wearing them. Really helps to spice up my bland wardrobe.
