Hello followers!  Hahaha, JK, I only have 1 follower.  That is the reason I do not write often.  It would be much more motivating to see followers.  Then I would get excited about writing and want to share so much!  I see I have viewers – from all around the globe.  That is exciting.  Please, please, please, follow me!!!  I do wonder how long it took some of my favourite bloggers to get a following...

Well, lots going on in this constant -22C weather.  Like lots of indoor recesses!!!  The kids are actually handling it pretty well.  Teachers....
well, maybe not so well...

Abu Dhabi update --- got my papers back from the lawyer all authenticated.  Very happy to say that it only cost me a bottle of wine.  J  My regular lawyer gave me a quote of $200.  Pays to ask around.  Ella and I will be going to the Canadian Embassy for the next authentication step.  I have decided to go in person rather than mailing them.  Feels safer, so why not?  I have also started to sell stuff.  I have a lot to get rid of.  Once the snow leaves, I think I will have a giant yard sale in the barn.  I thought it would be much harder to part with things, but after having the house robbed repeatedly a few years ago, I have learned to let go.  It is very liberating.  So here’s an odd thank you to that evil person that continually broke in our house, slashed our tires, bent our wipers, and stalked us for so long.  You helped me realize what is truly important in this life.

On another topic...  since I have gotten American Netflix, I have become temporarily addicted to some new shows:  Scandal, Revenge, and The B in Apartment 23 (so funny – reminds me of my younger years...).

The other day we were talking about our top 5 favourite foods.  If I didn’t have to worry about weight gain/healthy eating, here are mine:
Quarter Cheese Meal from McDonald’s
Medium Rare Prime Rib dinner
Fully Loaded Nachos
Burrito
Butter Chicken Pasta from Boston Pizza
What are your top 5?

Now, onto the classroom...  This term I have been blessed with an awesome EA student 2 days a week.  She is terrific with the kids and should be a teacher.  Tomorrow I have a teacher candidate starting in my room.  This is her last placement, so it will be great having a co-teacher in my very busy classroom for the next 6 weeks!
