Harriet's Magic Hats

Does anyone else remember this TV show? This girl, Harriet, would put on a hat and then get magically transported to the place the hat is used. She went to dairy farms, factories, stores, it was really cool.

Now, I've had a lot of different jobs in my life. Some have been super fun, starting with Oasis Theatre, and culminating with Weyburn This Week and the Calgary Zoo. Others have been super poopy, notably beef packing, working with bees (I got stung under my fingernail once. Yes, under!), and, well, that's it.

Ash will understand how hilarious this new job is. And no, it's not really a new job, because I'm not getting paid. I'm tutoring students at Bryan's high school. And Ash, get this, I'm tutoring Physics and Chem 30. Yeah, thirty. You know, those subjects that were tested on us lab rats and we almost failed? Actually, I didn't even take Physics 30. I hated Physics 20 and stopped there. So how on earth am I suddenly a tutor for subjects I hate?

I dunno. World is full of mystery.

And I don't even get to wear a hat.

Oh Glorious Movie Theater!

It will shock you to know that the last movie Bryan and I watched together was Flyboys at Thanksgiving in Edmonton. Yes, thanksgiving. I did watch Saw 3 with Jon later on, and Bryan saw Spiderman 3 a little while ago, but yesterday we finally made it back to the theater for SHREK THE THIRD.

I loved it. I thought it was hilarious. Didn't have much plot, but didn't need it. When Pinnochio was trying not to tell Charming where Shrek was... oh, yeah. Very funny!

We should really try to get out more often.

(It was a total girl-power movie, go Snow White!)

Photography Prices

After mom's most beseeching request, I decided I would post the picture prices here on my blog so everyone in the family can access them. The proofs are on their way to mom and dad's, and here is the information that Shelly Bloom gave me:

Price list:
2x3 wallet size $4.00
2x3 in thank you card $4.50
4x5 in folder $9.00
5x7 folder included $15.00
8x8 folder included $20.00
8x10 folder included $25.00
10x10 folder included $30.00
11x14 sprayed & drymounted $70.00
16x20 sprayed & drymounted $100.00
20x24 sprayed & drymounted $180.00
24x30 sprayed & drymounted $250.00
30x40 sprayed & drymounted $350.00
Photo greeting cards 12 to 49 $3.00 per card, 50 or more $2.00 per card.

On enlargements 8x10 and up, photos may be put on canvas rather than regular photographic paper. Canvas prints have retouching, mounting, stretching, and texturing included in the price. The cost is double our regular rate.

When ordering, please specify if any special cropping, centering, or retouching is desired and we will do our best to accomodate you. Most retouching is included in our basic price but extensive retouching may be subject to an additional charge. Because your proof comes in a square 5x5 format, you must indicate if horizontal or vertical prints are needed.

The proof number is on the back of the photo. Mom and dad will help you find the right number. Phone Bloom's personally to place your order; their number is 306-845-4257. If you don't want to pay for shipping, just let Bloom's know and Bryan or I will pick up the picture and deliver it the next time we are in Edmonton. Lethbridge folks can pick them up from there.

The pics look great! Enjoy picking the best ones for your family!

Answers to Quiz Time!

Thank you for all your entries. I think I have to pull a 'slang teasers' kind of winner. It's Heather, for having the most interesting answers. Cuz everyone else got the same ones. Ready for the rundown?
1. We live on Thunderchild First Nation. Everyone got that right.
2. Annie is our only puppy. Everyone got that right, too.
3. Lorne Calvert is our premier. But Heather's right, it should be Captain Spock. I dare say he'd fix the emigration crisis, "Beam them back, Scotty!"
4. Contrary to popular belief, Bryan and I would choose to live in Paradise Hill. It's a little town in a valley between Lloydminster and St. Wahlberg. Although Rouleau is fun, it's just too darn flat down there in southern Saskatchewan.
5. We attend services in Battleford, but North Battleford is fine.
6. Bryan taught at Radville Regional High School. Everyone got that except for Heather. Space Academy. We wish.
7. The names of the two roads leading to our house, according to us, are Antelope Road and Deep Road. You all got those right. We have recently heard that the other popular name for the road is "Hollywood Road" because of the "Welcome to Thunderchild" sign. No one seems to know what the real name is.
8. Yes, Bryan was the assistant basketball coach.
9. I am a correspondent for the North Battleford News Optimist. But your answers were all pretty cool: Otherville Daily Gazette, Turtleford Tattler, Sasky Press, Saskatchewan Gazette, Turtleford Paper, and Vulcan Times. (Just guess who wrote the last one!)
10. Yes, we got Kaylee's name from the short-lived though much-loved TV series Firefly. I'm actually not sure if her new family kept her name. We can all hope so.

Thanks for participating!
