The Welcome Mat

I'm sorry! I'm trying to get back to work this week and I've discovered that I'd like to receive my normal bi-weekly paycheque to stay at home instead :-P

That sucks. I'm sorry about your dog. Hug him while you have him.

You'd love West Edmonton Mall, I bet. It has a huge pirate ship (in it's own lagoon and everything) http://talkwithdesiree.typepad.com/photos/travel/dcp_3412.JPG The Silver City threatre has all sorts of 'characters' hanging around besides the Dragon like Yoda http://talkwithdesiree.typepad.com/phot...

October 2nd.

I'm not giving you the year because I'm just slightly older than Rusty...

I AM SO JEALOUS! :x The theatre has a big, huge sphynx that blows fire every 20 minutes.... kind of like the dragon at Silver City in West Edmonton Mall. You'd love that dragon - cool spooky music plays and the dragon moves it's head and blows extremely hot fire. We've seen that dragon oodles of ti...

I just bought tickets online for an IMAX showing of Harry Potter on Friday, November 18th at noon. Imax! Based in the trailers I'm thinking that this may be an awesome movie to see in an Imax theatre. I'm excited :o https://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/1174/20051019154317/www.movietickets.com/images/phot...

That'd be neat if the puppy actually stayed green.

Cool dog!

I have a pomeranian/yorkie cross. And he doesn't bark. At all.

But here's a tip... yorkies stink. They don't smell like dogs - it's very weird.

I'll pass on both of those. I don't like horror movies much and Chicken Little doesn't interest me. I'm going to see Zathura tomorrow, though, and I am really looking forward to it. I also wanted to go see Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, but it is only showing in a limited engagement in 2 theaters far from m...

The daughter has had her own problems with being tardy to first hour (my class), not completing her assignments on time, having a few missing assignments. She's gotten better about it as the school year has progressed, though she still lapses somewhat. She is so much nicer than the parent, though. ...

I have pretty good classroom discipline and get along with most of my students. I usually stay after school for an hour or so to help students who need extra attention with their homework or other assignments. There are a few students that I dislike, mostly because of the way they act and their lac...

Maybe that was the problem - I probably gave up around 45 minutes into the movie. Specifically because they were all so over the top, quite honestly.

Give me a good 'Saw' anyday... or Chicken Little. I'm going to that one on Sunday and it'll be my first 2 hour adventure out of the house... whee!

but otherwise I like meeting the parents. It's quite nice to hear that you like meeting the parents. My kid is naturally... outgoing and verbal.... and I never know how the teacher is going to take to her. Either they love her or they hate her. Although the teachers that dislike her are generally t...

You liked it, eh? (That's my Canadian showing.)

I didn't care for it at all. DeNiro should never do comedy. Ever! Urgh. Or horror movies, for that matter.

Very different! I'd enjoy that concert too.

Just not as much
