getting ready

Tonight, I painted my nails Black Red.

Tomorrow Scott and I are going Halloween shopping for Food for my treats for the kids, candy, and Tressure Hunts treats for my girls that I work with.

Also tomorrow, I am reading the children's story that I have written to a couple of classes.

I'm tired.

and I have a strange bump on my hand that won't go away.

back from the game...

and I forgot my camera.

It was a great game. Family friends have corporate tickets, so we had dinner in The Green Room. It is a place that corporate tickets holders can go and have a drink before the game, have a free (amazing) dinner and go back at half time for a warm up beverage (Ity will even be hot and waiting on your table for you if you order it before you leave when the game starts. It was super great. The Riders won 55-9 against the Edmonton Eskimos. I will be the first to admit that I have no interest or attention for the game of Football, but I do live in Saskatchewan, so I have to pretend.

It was really windy and I was freezing, but it was great. The way back home was sqishy becasue Scott and I had to half sit, half lay in the back of my parents Jeep. Not comfortable at all.

It is, in fact, so windy, that I guess no one wants to head out for the evening. 2 of my neighbours on my floor have people over, as well as the people that live below me.

No Biggie Biggie Biggie though,

goodnight

My life is great, I just have to write about this

One more day. This has been a long, hard week. Although I have worked at both jobs almost everyday this week, it has been long in other ways. I had my car broekn into on Friday. I worked a night shift last Friday and it has been in me all week. Meaning, I have worked all day and then came home, exhausted. Thinking that I wouldn't sleep if I napped so early in the day, I kept myself awake, then getting a second wind at 8:30 - 9 and staying up until 1.

This weekend we are going to the Rider game in Regina. Pictures will be shared.

I am super excited about this coming week, mainly Halloween!!! I am making Bug Juice, Chocolate Mice, and Goblin Tongues for my class. I am also planning a Treasure Hunt for the little girls that I work with. AND...I am going to my 2nd (insert story here for another post) Halloween party!

Should be fun!

Good Night.

The Friars

My honey left me a mesage on the phone Friday for me to listen to before I went to (or at least tried to) sleep before my n12 shift on Friday.

I'm sharing this with the world!

Campfire Hot Chocolate Recipe

This is a great Winter beverage to make after a night of shovelling, or when
getting back from Christmas shopping. The recipe makes about a 2 liter
container.

2 cups Hot Chocolate mix
1 1/2 cups Coffee Mate
1 1/2 cups (white) Sugar
1 1/2 cups Instant Coffee Mix
1 tsp Cinnamon

Mix up to 3 tsp with 1 cup hot milk (or water, but I like milk). Top with
whipped cream if desired.

I hope you enjoy this!

love,

Keri

I had better be in bed by the time TMZ is on

but I probably won't, becasue it's almost 1 am on a school night and I can't sleep. My mind has this 6th sense that, when I have super busy days, the previous night I never sleep.


I would just like to say Hello to my friend Erik . He is very cool, he has a deep love for his family and music and people like I have never read of. Of course, we have never met. We crossed paths when we traded music . He is very cool. Check out his blog.

My boyfriend is also very cool. He thinks I'm beautiful, special and important, and makes me feel that way. I am very lucky. :)

I am very interested in the American election. By very interested I mean I LOVE watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report for their daily overviews of the news coverage. Funny Stuff.

so, here's an interesting little tidbit about me.

I go a little overboard.

We are learning about Saskatoon in the class that I am in, so I decieded to make a We Love Saskatoon poster with the students that I work with. Well, poster turned into Bulletin Board, which is turning in classroom project and PWIM picture.
A lot has been done on it since these pictures were taken,








we're learning about the bridges in Saskatoon




but I should go, TMZ is starting.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving weekend was great. My family went to the lake for a Thanksgiving buffett, something that we have done for the past couple of years. TThe food was great, hangin out with my family was great, but THIS was tops,






This past week, Scott called me and asked if I could ask my Mom if she had any plans for brunch on Sunday, becasue he would like to make brunch for everyone (8 people). He did and it was fabulous!

Although it was a good meal, the family decided that we would start having meals at Mom & Dads again.

When I picked Scott up on Saturday, his Mom invited me for Thanksgiving dinner tonight! So, not all was lost - I do have wonderful left overs for tommorow for lunch.

This is a great Thanksgiving song, even though it is on his Christmas album. I love it year round,


Thankful by Josh Groban

Somedays, we forget to look around us,

Somedays, we can't see the joy that surrounds us,

so caught up inside ourselves,

we take when we should give,

so for tonight we pray for,

what we know can be,

and on this day we hope for,

what we still can't see,

It's up to us, to be the change,

and even though we all can still do more,

there's so much to be thankful for,

look beyond ourselves,

there's so much sorrow,

it's way to late to say, I'll cry tomorrow

each of us must find our truth,

it's so long overdue,

so for tonight we pray for,

what we know can be,

and everyday, we hope for,

what we still can't see,

it's up to us, to be the change,

and even though we all can still do more,

there's so much to be thankful for,

even with our differences,

there is a place WE'RE all connected,

each of us can find each others light,

So for tonight, we pray for

what we know can be,

and on this day, we hope for,

what we still can't see,

it's up to us, to be the change,

and even though this world NEEDS so much more

there's so much to be thankful for.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

and now about me....

:)

Tommorow, my boyfriend and I are going to the lake for Thanksgiving. My family has a cabin up there and I am trying to getthings ready but am mildly distracted by my face. I never have had the best complexion, but right now it is HORRIBLE. I don't know what to do. I have tried everything, but it just seems to come back with avengance. I am using products that I got at Shoppers, but I think that they are directed at younger peoples complexions.

Any suggestions?

That is all,
Happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful that people are interested enough to read my blog.

song's about me now

Everything in Life,
is only for now.
I will go in this way and find my own way out.
I just want to put these wings to test.
Please excuse me if I act a little strange,
for I know not what I do.
It feels like lightening running through my veins
everytime I look at you.
I don't want to fake it
I just want to make it
I know that I am the Luckiest.
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
I want you,
more than anything
I can't stop laughing

Here's to a great season.

:)

I am in love with the blizzard of 2007.

I just realized that I have had this blog for over a year.

I was also thinking about the "resolutions" I made for this year.

Discipline.
Change.
Love.

All of them have put incorporated into my life.

I thought that I had a lot of write,
but I guess that's all.

Just thought you should know

This is my boyfriend.
He cares about my family and not hurting me.
I love him.

Let's love Miss M day

Today I wore my favorite-est ever black Old Navy strapless sun dress with a black cardigan. Very simple and cute. I slept in a little, so I didn't have a lot of time to spend on my face. My hair washed washed and worn, which made it curly, which I am wearing more and more these days. I headed out of my building and picked up a coffee at the Roastery . Ready to start the day.

When I got to school, some older girls commented on my black Mac & Jac sunglasses.

then,

one of my students told me that I looked really pretty. Thanks.

then,

One of my co-workers told me that I look nice and summery.

then,

one of my students told me that I smelt happy (I wore allure today, not happy).

then,

another student told me that they like my eyes.

I was going to bake a couple of Saskatoon Pies for my class,
but they didn't have Saskatoon berries anywhere last night,
so my boyfriend bought the class a couple of pumpkin pies,

and some of then made him Thank You cards.

I really didn't think I was that special.


Oh,
and I'm writing a children's book.
