Sillyspot.comWe giggle... we're silly. We love life.Freecycle- September 7, 2004 I love Freecycle. I have received one thing and been able to get rid of one thing. Give and take... love it!http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001242 Day 1- September 7, 2004 Day 1 of Teacher's College. I learned that I am not a student teacher nor do I go to Teacher's College. Teacher's colleges haven't been around since the 70's... I go to the Faculty of Ed. I am also a teacher candidate, not a student. Whatever. Queen's has this new thing where you mail in your photo and then they print you out a student card. Well, mine wasn't ready yet so they had to take my picture today which I wasn't ready for. Well, my picture is fantastic!!! I love it! I kept...http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001241 Shut Up!!- September 7, 2004 Okay - we just saw the best "What Not to Wear Episode", and it was for a superstar: Megan Slankard. She's this 20 year old rocker (reminds me of Avril Lavigne, but dare I say with more class) who had a "nouveux hippy" look redone into the most amazing gorgeous style. And the best part of the episode was how hard a time she was having, but how willing and trusting she was to go along. The second best aspect of the show was that there were a couple of things that she strongly believed in and...http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001240 Predicament- September 6, 2004 Next year provides us with a unique opportunity that probably won't come again for a long time... the chance to take holidays in May or June! The only problem is that I will be in school all year thus our funds are drastically reduced. But we really want to take a holiday then... any cheap suggestions of where to go then I really want to go back to Disney. We could also spend a few days on the beach. I guess we could bring our tent! I haven't really thought about other options so...http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001239 ChristmasBirthday 2004- September 6, 2004 There have been some requests for my birthdayChristmas lists, so here's what I've got so far:KitchenAid mixer (with attachments) - $280 at Canadian Tire (Classic Series: 4.5 Quart, tilt away, 250 Watt, as shown below, is more than adequate, but any of the other better models would be fine too), and mixer attachmentsaccessories too: As far as colors go, I think it's the "imperial grey or black" that's my number 1 choice (it's kinda a rough metallic color) but any of the other bright colors...http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001238 Frosh- September 6, 2004 So, I am frosh. Doug took me for a tour of the campus, a lot more thorough than I thought it would be. My program is a little ways from the main campus and all of my classes are there but I needed to know some of the other stuff, ie. the gyms, used bookstore, etc. Queen's really is a beautiful campus and it will nice to be part of it for parts of the year. Well, at least the fall. It's not so pretty in the winter with all the slush, etc. Luckily my campus has free parking! WOOHOO! So I...http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001237 Sunday Report- September 6, 2004 So today I hung out with my cousin from Alberta, Lonna and her son Nolan. I haven't seen Lonna since I was about 5 or so, so it was quite interesting. They were in Ontario for a wedding so I drove to meet her and Mom for breakfast. It's kind of weird to see family that you haven't really met before. We have e-mailed a little bit over the past couple of years but not too much. I didn't recognize her in person even though I had seen recent pictures of her. Anyway, it was nice to talk about.http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001236 Silly- September 4, 2004 So, I was pricing out a text book today at Chapters.ca. I knew that if you ordered online with your Chapters card, you only got 5% off versus buying it in the store with 10% off. So I went to the store and was checking it out on their computer... and if I order it online within the store, I get 10% off... and still get it shipped for free to my house. Silly.http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001235 The Locals- September 3, 2004 Our main local friends are off to Ethiopia for a year and tonight was our last night with them. I don't know if Doug is more upset that they are leaving or that they just bought a brand new laptop and he only got to play on it for a few hours before it leaves the country for a year. Anyway, they will definitely be missed...http://www.sillyspot.com/archives/2004_09.html#001234 |
