I have been working on something rather big... a whole new (but much the same) blog in a new location! It's largely why I haven't been posting lately--my free time has been spent there getting it ready and beautiful for you!
I am almost ready to debut it... check back in a day or two and I shall direct you!! Be excited!!! HOO HAH!!
But today I saw the haircut that surpassed them all. I was SO impressed I felt I HAD to share it with you. Let me explain...
I got on the bus at my stop and was peacefully riding along toward my destination. It made several stops, and, being the curious person that I am, I always like to see who is getting on or off the bus.
As the bus slowed to pick up another person, I looked out the window. The person waiting at the stop was wearing one of those old beaver tail hats... or so I thought. As the bus got closer the hat looked a little different, but definitely still beaver tail-ish. Then she got on and sat right in front of me and I realized that it was actually a perma-beaver tail hat. hahahah!!! As in her hair was cut to look like a beaver tail hat.
After I stared into it for several minutes and burned the image into my mind so that I would remember to tell all of you about how AWESOME it was, I came home and did a little research. We all know the different types of mullets--the original mullet, the skullet, the she-mullet, etc, but I learned of a NEW one today: the ANIMULLET. I think it's self-explanitory. ahhaa!!! Well, I looked around and found a picture that sort of resembled this amazing hair I saw today. Imagine the following hair cut on a 65-year-old woman, only it was back in a pony tail, hence the hat like features.
I know. You're probably going to run out and get this done right now, right? I know I am.
As you know, I am a lover of music. I recently discovered a new group that has absolutely stolen my heart in every way possible. I found a video that introduces them so much better than I ever could... you can view it HERE, or simply watch the video below!!
This is a video of one of my favourite covers they have done. They rock my world.
Somehow tomorrow is September 30th and I've already completed 5 weeks of school. That's INSANE. If things keep going the way they are, I'll be finished teacher's college... next week. In my sense of time anyway.
SO. I have news! After some help from Too Kool and the Hubs I may have found a way to make my blog more secure without losing my blog posts or being limited to a specified number of readers. They are helping me work on it right now, so I'll let you know when it's ready for your eyes. Be excited. I sure am. :)
Let's see... what else is new... the Hubs and I had a wonderfully relaxing weekend together. We stayed in on Friday night and curled up on the couch and watched TV before going to bed early. On Saturday I actually slept in all the way to 8am!!!! Oh goodness, it was GLORIOUS. Most days I am up by 5:30 and out the door by 7am, so it was amazing. AH. Too Kool came up for the afternoon / evening and we went out did some shopping, grabbed dinner then spent the night in again. Sunday was equally relaxing--we went to church, came home, napped, then I had a wonderful chat first with my mom, then Doodle called out of the blue! I haven't talked to him in nearly 2 months, so it was so nice to catch up! I can't wait to be able to see my family more often... it sucks to be so close to them but still never see them. *sigh* Eight months until freedom!!!!
Aside from that, life has been really really good. I am finally getting into the rhythm of teacher's college and am adjusting to my insane schedule of too much class and no sleep. I also have not missed a single class or left early in 5 (going on 6) weeks. That's a crazy record for me... in previous years I had likely skipped at least half my classes by the first week! haha! It helps that I LOVE my program and the people in it, and I just feel like I have this obligation to be there. I got in when so many others didn't and I don't want to screw it up, you know? Even if I know we won't be doing anything important, I still feel like I need to be there. I like feeling like that. It's a first for me.
One more thing--I am very excited about what I learned this morning!!! I posted about it on my Exercise Blog*.
And just in case you were wondering, I am still absolutely madly in love with the Hubster and each and every day I am so thankful to have him in my life. I am one lucky lady. :)

P.s. Kelly got the right answer to my joke... but that was because she was at camp with me when we heard it! haha CHEATER!! ;) The answer is posted in a comment on the post!
This week has been INSANE. I'm exhausted and am not feeling terribly creative at the moment, so I decided I'd share something with you from a moment when I was. This was an assignment I handed in a couple of weeks ago and just got back yesterday with a glorious 87% mark. It was for a Sociocultural Perspectives course, and the assignment was to
a) reflect on and write about an important "moment" in your life b) connect this moment to your understanding of learning and/or development, and c) consider the effects of social structures on my experience
The format could be anything--essay, poetry, rap, video, presentation, collage--you name it, you could do it. I chose free verse poetry, and I call it, "The Moment".
A moment. One moment.
It?s funny how one moment can impact us so greatly. One moment Can change the way we view ourselves, Others, And the world we live in.
A moment. One moment.
I have always been good with words. I dwell on them, Escape to them, And most importantly, I understand them. And they understand me. I sometimes forget that others aren?t friends with words the way that I am...
?or maybe they just aren?t friends yet.
I love to introduce people to words. Last year I introduced Danny to words. He struggled at first, As many grade two?s do, And wanted to understand them like I do.
So together we looked, And pondered, And struggled. But the words wouldn?t come to Danny.
?until one day they did On a Tuesday morning. After months of struggle,
A moment. One moment
And the words were his.
In his eyes They transformed from symbols to letters, From letters to words, From words to sentences, From sentences to paragraphs, And from paragraphs to stories.
And he could understand like I do.
I?ve taught things before, But had never witnessed that moment.
A moment. One moment. THE moment
When true learning takes place. I saw that in Danny. And I knew that this was what I needed to do with my life.
I love words, And I want to help people love them like I do. I want to help others have that moment.
THE moment.
When it all comes together, And the light bulb turns on, And new understanding takes place.
I used to be Danny. And it didn?t seem to matter if my light bulb turned on. Until one day, To one person, It did. And in that moment, One moment, I understood.
There are so many Danny?s, And not enough light switchers. Because that takes time, And time is money.
?and I guess a lot of people are broke.
But Danny is everywhere. He?s you, He?s me, He?s the girl next door And the boy down the street.
He?s the child who sits in the back to hide his confusion. He?s the girl who has learned to mimic to fake learning. He?s the one who is different, And the one that blends in. He?s the one who thinks he?s stupid, Because no one told him differently. He?s the one in designer clothes, And the one in patched up hand-me-downs. He?s the one that ?isn?t worth the effort? Because ?there?s no hope for him anyway?. (I think he?s worth it.) He?s the one who isn?t sure who he is Because his body tells him one thing, But his heart tells him another. He?s the one that everyone wants to be, And the one that everyone forgets.
He?s the one who so desperately wants to learn it, Aches to learn it, Needs to learn it, But hides it behind a tough façade and pretends not to care.
