Vacation!

I'm on vacation!
It's celebration!
It's celebration,
I'm on vacation....

Oh wait, no I'm not. :(

At least not yet! :D

As soon as these kids write their final exams on Monday afternoon, I'm taking everything home, correcting it all (which is going to be less than last term, as I have half the number of students and exams), delivering them Tuesday morning, and we're jetting off (by car, that is...)to possibly Toronto, and Montreal. And possibly Quebec. I don't know about Quebec, since Jorghnassen doesn't seem to want to take the extra two hours of driving to visit, but I'd like to see my mum at least, and hopefully squeeze in some time with the bunny man and his wife.

Then we're jetting off (literally) to England on the 27th, to attend Jorgh's brother's weeding. (Inside joke.) Oh, that reminds me, I need to get a camera before that. A real camera, not one that takes things like this:



Anyway, time to get cracking... I have another pile of corrections to complete at the moment!

Other Freebies!

The cereal box (General Mills brand) offers free books too, through their "Bite Into Books" program. My mum likes to buy cereal in general (on sale, once again), so there are often four to five boxes of them sitting on the shelf. Last month, two boxes had that "specially marked" special code inside that could be redeemed for free books on their site. Wow!

At first, I thought their offerings were only targetted towards kids, but there is a set aimed for the adults who bought the cereal in the first place. I picked two books, written by John Lithgow: a children's book called Micawber, and Lithgowpalooza (no longer listed there for a soon-to-be uncovered reason).

Although I almost forgot about the book offer, I still remember which books I picked and I was slightly dismayed when I received the mail a few days ago with a rather light envelope that only contained one book. Then I opened the envelope and was even more dismayed to be holding the absolute last choice, Little Red Book. The accompanying letter mocked me further by lauding my choice of book(s?) and invited me to redeem further wonderful books such as this one.

Yes, Lithgowpalooza is all gone now. :(

P.S. Haha London Ontario
