High school English teacher who tends toward the sentimental, but always ends up on the right side of a wry lip off. Home on the prairies. Big fan of cats.

@jeremycockrill Right, but Saskatchewan schools also experienced record enrolment, so your “record investment” is actually just an attempt to keep pace with per student funding…which is eighth in the country.

Very sorry to hear that @ralphgoodale lost Regina-Wascana (the riding where I live). He's held the riding since 1993 and has done tremendous things for the @uofregina and #yqr. Thank you for your service to our community, Minister Goodale.

While it's possible I am too pregnant to see anything else, I'm struck most by @khaledhosseini 's many depictions of motherhood in And the Mountains Echoed. "At that moment, she cannot think of a more reckless, irrational thing than choosing to be a parent."

"One thing I have come to see is that one is well served by a degree of both humility and charity when judging the inner workings of another person's heart." @khaledhosseini #SummerReads

#Nesting is exhausting. Also, now I'm supposed to freeze these and not furiously eat them all pre-baby? #Goodluck 🙄#PregnantLife #PregnantWife

And yeah, I do own the first three seasons on DVD, but I like to think we've evolved beyond a time when we had to physically stand up to change a disc every five episodes. AM I WRONG?

I think we can all agree that I've been very patient about waiting for @parksandrecnbc to be added to @Netflix_CA 🇨🇦. I've been reduced to watching the fart attack scene on YouTube for YEARS. #SENDHELP @Nick_Offerman @evilhag @RobLowe @azizansari @prattprattpratt

I learned more math than I typically tolerate on a Friday evening, but also got in a few good cries. Overall, I'd call it a draw, which means that it's okay I had to learn math because I liked the story anyway 🙂#curiousincident @mark_haddon

#Tourist role reversal this week with BC family in #Regina #YQR . It's oddly satisfying when mountain folk demand to stop for prairie photos! @Saskatchewan @TourismRegina @WascanaCentre

@V_Mulholland @CityofRegina @TourismRegina A child pointed and screamed "YOU'RE PREGNANT!" at me yesterday 😂
