Krazy!
A few pictures from KRAZY! - the show JP and I narrowly missed in Vancouver last month.
What a segue!
It's been a few crazy weeks... a roller coaster of emotions! Highs and lows all over the place. I feel a little exhausted - like I want to hang out in my cool basement and eat LIFE cereal (for which I was FLEECED at the co-op) while watching Last Comic Standing - and yes I was doing just that not five minutes ago!
Where to start? Well the month began on a high note with winning the Biggar Art show. A week later I rushed back to Biggar to hastily take pictures so I could send off an application for a Saskatchewan wide show that would tour the province for TWO YEARS! I haven't heard back about that yet, but I'm just excited to have the opportunity to actually apply! The day after this whirlwind road trip, I had a job interview - and a job offer. But I delayed saying yes to this because I had also applied for my dream job and was on the edge of my seat in anticipation. Then I got the phone call - I HAD AN INTERVIEW!! I had an interview for my dream job aaaaaaand....... I didn't get the job. *Sigh* I won't lied, that was a hard one to take. I took a few long brooding walks over the next few days to work it out of the system. Conversations with good friends certainly helped... plus the always extremely biased opinion of my husband helped too - It's nice to know that someone thinks I'm all that! Things are pretty tight here in the teacher market - a lot of great people competing for a very few number of jobs... Maybe my dream job will come along again someday.
So until then, I took a job in the city at Kelsey in the adult ed program. It's a resource position which means I won't have to do a lot of planning. But it also means I need to know all my grade twelve maths and sciences (better start on my Chemistry ASAP - Thanks for nothing Mr. Robertson). If I had a frowny faced emocon I would use it right now. WORST. TEACHER. EVER.
To end the month off Paul and I made our rounds at Hepburn Grad (which is always a roller coaster experience) and the day after we hosted both a soccer wind up and the Hepburn art club art show (not at the same time of course - we had ten minutes in between events) which was very well attended - and of course I'm so proud of my girls!!
So that was June. No deep thoughts, no art criticism, no epiphanies. I'm enjoying what I'm reading but I have very little to say these days (other than to express my rage in Coldplay foiling my summer vacation plans). I guess my brain is already on vacation, so I'd like to go and join it now. Now let's watch some reality TV...

Maybe its just my mind in the gutter again but those little singing guys look a little like a part of the male anatomy. Juast thought you'd like to know and maybe smile a little as you read this. Call me sometime!
Hmmmm... Didn't notice that right away - pretty poor eye for an art girl! I guess the fact that each of them only have one eye should have tipped me off!!
I may have dyed my hair, but I'm still blond at heart.
Just so you know I think you TOTALLY deserve your dream job and that they are crazy for not hiring you. You are a fantastic teacher, a giving friend and such a blessing to so many people. I've been thinking about you lots. If you need a day at the pool or just a mini vacation to Redberry :) come by I'm always up for your company. Take care.
I think your dream job will come eventually... and I hope you've recovered from the disappointment. Paul isn't the only one who thinks you're pretty great, by the way! :)
