Decisions, decisions

The weekend was good. A much needed weekend. On Saturday we had a few people over for dinner. It was nice. We had a bunch of finger food. Almost all of my recipes had to be tweaked in some way though, which kind of sucked, and I thought the food suffered as a result, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. To my Vancouver friends, you are not going to believe this but... spinich dip is yet another thing that I cannot seem to find. Unfortunately, I didn't leave myself enough time to make it from scratch either, so it had to substituted for humus. Also good, but just not the same. No good salad dressings for dip either (aka, no ranch), nothing for Russ' stuffed tortilla wraps either. Even the danish puff didn't seem to cook properly - though I think that's just my oven being stupid, not the ingredients. Oh well, in the end it was still fairly successful. I think I'll have to get some British recipes though to go with the British groceries that are available here. Oh, and none of the people I had over had ever heard of Devil'd eggs!

On another note, thank you all for your comments and support. I came back into school this week after taking Monday off. I really needed it. Unfortunately, I came back to a trashed room and some things stolen from my desk. After thinking about it all last week, and after everyone's advice, talking it over with several of you, and with Adam, I have come to a decision. It was a difficult decision to make, but at the end of the day, I have to do what is best for me. I do not think I will be continuing at Rossmore after Christmas. Again, it was a difficult decision as I do like aspects of the job, like the production, which will not be finished by then. But if you know me, then you know that the rest of this place has to be pretty aweful if I would leave in the middle of a production because those are what I live for. But I simply cannot continue here. I have spoken to the supply teaching agency and I should not have a problem getting continual supply work in the spring. We may come home a couple months early, but we have not decided that yet. Will keep you all posted.
