Gainfully employed!
It's true. Me, the Canadian, has a job in the united states of America. I got a call at approximately 11:36 this morning offering me the position, and I of course accepted! I went to pick up the paperwork this afternoon, and then promptly went to the mall...No, I didn't buy anything for myself. Angela wanted me to get her some Godiva chocolate as we apparently don't have one in Edmonton anymore. I'm going to send it to her tomorrow, and hopefully it doesn't melt! Or get damaged, OR get stolen by customs! That would just be great....I'm trying to figure out whether or not I've actually had Godiva chocolates before. I definitely haven't bought them for myself, because I couldn't possibly justify spending that much on chocolate, but I don't know if I've had them anywhere else. Eric's parents told me that if I ever tried them then I could justify the price. Now I'm curious...
After I picked up the paperwork from the preschool, and after I went to the mall, I went to Eric's store to tell him the good news! Then I went across the street to get him some lunch, and then I went home to face my mountain of paperwork...I don't think I've ever had to fill out so much paperwork in my life. Oh well...the worst will be the tax forms! Actually I think the worst will be the fact that I have to go to the doctor to get him to fill out a form and give me TB test....All this doctor going is rather, well, (insert adjective here). I'll survive though...I always have:) Then I made the mistake of going to the gym without eating much today. Bad Idea. Although I got Eric a big sandwich from Panera, I decided on a whole grain bagel with cream cheese...I had a craving, and it's really all I wanted. I ate that at like, 4:30 or something, and then I went to the gym around 7:15. Yeah, I didn't do much. I went on the recumbant bike for 25 minutes, and then the stairmaster for like, 5 before almost collapsing. I had to sit for a bit with shaky legs...AND I decided to purchase a V-8 from the snack bar to help spark some energy. I don't even like V-8, but I forced myself to drink it because I haven't been eating very many vegetables lately...bad bad jojo:)
The kids at the preschool call their teachers/caregivers by "Miss_______". I think I should get them to call me "Miss Jo-Jo". How cute would that be?? Haha:)
Well, I think this post is long enough, and I should probably start preparations for bed. I should try and get up slightly early tomorrow in preparation of my starting day on Wednesday! I'm excited!!!!

I am surprised that nonone has congratulated you yet! I know that I have already congratulated you on the phone but, I will be the first to congratulate you on your blog too.
Love ya Bunches!! :) :) ;)
Hooray! I just checked your blog for the first time in two days, and what do I find? Awesome news! Congratulations, Joanne. Glad to hear that you are gainfully employed - show them what a REAL educator is, girlfriend! ;-)
As for Godiva...you know what a chocolate fiend I am, and to be perfectly honest, I don't find Godiva chocolate to be that good. Oh well.
Yay! I'm so happy for you. Good job, Joanne - make sure you eat your veggies. Otherwise the Body Break team might come down to the States and lecture you.
Way to go, Jo! That's awesome! You've got a job... now what are you going to do with all that MONEY!?!!!!!!
Doug.
HA! Money? Sure....
Yeah Joanne!!!! I just read your blog with the great news. Wow, you start tomorrow, so quick. I guess that doesn't give you much time to freak out. Best of luck, you don't need it however. As for your name Miss____ do what Jill does, use Carson. I might be getting my Excedrine this weekend. A breeder from California that I know will be at the BC show this weekend. She is going to try and find me some. Yeah for my headaches.lol
Yay Miss Jo Jo! Congrats... I'll give you a call this weekend to see how things are! Do you work Friday?
Oh... 2 q's or are they p's? I know my kids can't tell the difference yet!
Hahaha. I'm pretty sure that the kids use the first names instead of the last names, so I would be Miss Joanne, instead of Miss Goluszka or whatever. So I think it would be cute if they said Miss JoJo. Hilarious:) Good luck Julia with the excedrine...I've yet to figure out if the school breaks over the holidays or not...but I doubt it:( I really wanted to come home........as for the Body break team...well, I always thought they were rather funny looking anyhow! Maybe they need to eat more vegetables...hahaha.
Dear Miss Jo Jo....
We would love to have you come home for at least part of the holidays! Let us know.
Love ya Big Bunches!! :) :) ;)
ps, Here's a very scary word verif. xaxjmhg sounds quite vulgar to moi!!!
Congrats baby Sis!!! Sorry I'm late, I've been on nites again and we have been super busy so I have had to work instead of read your Blog !!
I have to say the name thing sounds weird. It makes you sound like a plantation owner or something. Maybe it's just me.....
