My funny valentine

My Valentines this year was good. Valentines from the classes that I work in. Some of them even made Valentines for my Mom, who came to out class a couple of weeks ago and cooked for them. One of my students told me that he loved me. It was pretty cute.

Yess!!!

This man is the greatest! He was my high school principal, allowed me to graduate even though I didn't have enough credits. Then, when I became employed with the school board, he put me on the sub list, even though Kelsey had screwed up my marks. He still remembers me when he comes around to the school.

Published: Thursday, February 14, 2008

George Rathwell, a familiar face in the city's school system, has been named new director of the Saskatoon public school board, effective Aug. 1.

"We are extremely pleased that Mr. Rathwell put his name forward and that he has been chosen," said board chairperson Ray Morrison in a press release.

"We know the leadership of the organization will now pass from one very capable leader to another."

Dr. Jim Jutras, the current Director of Education, retires from his duties as Director effective July 31, 2008.

For the past four years, Rathwell has served as one of two Deputy Directors of Education.

"The Saskatoon Board of Education has established two learning priorities within its strategic plan. Our 'Literacy for Life' and 'Collegiate Renewal' priorities are proving to be an excellent focus for student learning and staff development," said Rathwell.

"We intend to continue these learning priorities and learning agenda for the educational benefit of our students and staff."

Rathwell has 26 years of experience in the Saskatoon public school system, serving as a collegiate teacher, vice-principal, principal, superintendent and deputy director. He also taught for two years in rural Saskatchewan and acted as a provincial educational consultant for one year.

Just Married
Filed under: Z List






Don't you love crazy people???

Diff'rent Strokes alum Gary Coleman has married some loser by the name of Shannon Price.

He's 40. She's 22.

It gets better!

The pair have only known each other just over FIVE MONTHS.

And it gets even better still!!!!

Gary tells Inside Edition that this is his first-time-ever romantic relationship.

"I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone," he says. "I wasn't saving myself, she just happened to be the one."

Bless his little, sex-deprived heart!

The couple's nuptials happened, "on a mountaintop," according to Coleman. "Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us. That was all that was there. There was nobody else.”

As for the 18 years between them, "I don't have issues with age, I have issues with intelligence," says Coleman. "She's more intelligent than I am, and that's what matters to me."

Price handles the sale of Coleman's memorabilia on e-Bay, and says that when she met him on the set of the movie Church Ball she wasn't aware of his fame.

"I didn't grow up with Diff'rent Strokes," she tells Inside Edition. "I actually didn't like watching TV when I was younger."

We expect them to be divorced within three months.

Why????

"We may go a week and not speak to each other," he says, while she claims, "He lets his anger conquer him sometimes. … He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction."

She adds, "I don't like the violence."

This is a reality TV show waiting to happen!

Yay for the Day!

RUEHL No. 925 finally has online shopping.

SQUUEEEEE!!

Back with new babies

I am back, from everything. Back from the Hospital seeing babies, back from not having a computer and back from Edmonton. I have added 2 babies to my collection since I last talked to you. My cousin had a baby girl on Wednesday,



Mattea Leigh Anne.


My co-worker had a baby boy, Nicholas Emerson Frank, on Friday. I REALLY like the name Emerson.

So now here's the score card.



-close friends wife - boy
-extended family member - boy
-cousins wife - girl
-family friend. - boy
-neighbours wife - boy
-cousin - girl
-co-worker (s) - boy
-co-workers wife (s)
-co-worker (s)
-friend's fiance
*new*
-co-worker (s)
-co-workers wife (s)
-co-worker (h)
-good friend

Like I said before, at lest none of these say, me....that would be some trouble.

My brother and his friend fixed my computer while I was gone and fixed it again when I thought something very minor was something very major. It good though, becasue out of it, they got food and free stuff, and I got 2 sales for the skin care line that I sell. They are going to each buy one of these sets

so it turned out good for all of us.

Edmonton was great, I GOT TO SEE MY BOYS! Highlight of my trip, and probably year. Unless something amazingly spectacular happens this year, nothing will top the time I spent with them. I used to work with their Dad at Shoppers and we have still kept in touch. It was great to visit with him and his wife, and to play with their boys.

"Boys, did you know that I'm a Teacher?"

Look of disbelief. "No you're not!"

"Oh, ok. What do you think I do?"

"You work with Daddy."

lol

Here's a picture of me and the youngest.



Yes, I close my eyes on almost every flash picture that is taken of me. And yes, I am wearing my brand new Abercrombie Hoodie that I bought in Edmonton in both pictures.
I love that store.

Have a good one!

blah stupid computer

My computer is messed up,
see my facebook.

sorry.

At least I can see across the street

This week has been a pretty cold one in Saskatoon. Sunday night, it snowed and I thought that for sure we would be gettting the 2008 version of the Blizzard of 2007. I didn't go out on Monday, becasue it was -50. Tuesday and Wednesday we had about 60 students show up. It doesn't make sense that there needs to be blowing snow, but not cold temperatures, for the school board to close schools.

On the upside, I was doing research with some of my students today Antarctica, and the it in between -125 and -250 there.

Now I don't feel so bad.

clothes ruehl

I used to be big into American Eagle clothes. Then, my sister introduced me to Old Navy. I like their clothes, really comfy, reasonably priced, and I fit a size smaller. Then, a heard about Abercrombie & Fitch, which I have just started buying some clothes from (for about the past year). They're really great. Sexy, comfy and they smell like sex. Unfortunetly, the only store is in Edmonton, which I only visit once a year. I was going to post a picture of me in a pair of their jeans, in which I look hot, but I deleted it becasue I was with the ex in it.

First I saw this,
Abercrombie & Fitch

Then I read up on this,
Other Abercrombie & Fitch Co. brands

so I went here

and read about this online shopping stuff

and now, I want Ryah in Chocolate

Last night, I watched Grey's Anatomy (you have to push play) . What a sweet episode. I always like reading Ali's review of the show, but she hasn't talked about it yet.



I liked that something huge is happening to Beily. I like that George and Lexi may be roomates. I really love McSteamy. And I love that this was the last show in I don't know how long, because it would be a crappy season ender.

nobody said it was easy

I'm 29.
I will be 30 in July. I have different opinions about this.
It is just a number, but a weird number.
It feels weird to say "I'm going to be 30.", like some sort of new skin should come over me.
Even now, things have a different angle to them.
This doesn't really matter to me, becasue it's not a race,
but I know, let me count..
14 people between November 07 and August 08 having babies.
It just seems like a lot.
I have even started using skin creams and things like that,
I never did that in my 20's.
I have 2 long term goals (or as I like to say "by 40")
one is to become and RPN and the other is to buy a house.
I think that these are easily attainable goals.
I think that I am going to go to the lake on the 10th,
and stay there for a couple of days.
30 just sounds so much more grown up,
like you can't blame anything on your 20's anymore.
Relationships are messed up at this age,
they use up a lot of your heart energy.

I went into work today and I wasn't even scheduled.

silly me.

but...
I sure do work at 7:30 tomorrow morning and I'm up past midnight.
I have decieded that I am going to quit going to the gym that I have been a member at for the past year. I am going to switch to a better one. It's closer to home, cheaper, and offers excellent classes (like Hot Yoga).

I downloaded a WHOLE bunch of wonderful classical music tonight, except the one that I was looking for. It is the one that is always played in the background of movies whenever there is a wedding/fancy scene.

na na na na na na na
na
na na na na

like that was lots of help.

I think Beethovan composed it.

Good Night.

No resolutions, just words

Discipline.
Change.
Love.

They can all be used in all parts of my life.
