Spring Break!


Yahoo!! An entire week to do whatever I want! Well, not entirely what I want. There is always the reality of marking and planning to remember - but at least I can delay that until the 25th!

So, I'm, heading to Victoria to visit Michele, Augie and Slendid. Looking forward to the green grass, spring flowers and ocean smells - and of course, shopping, coffees and eating out!

Hope that you all have a fabulous break - we deserve it (well, most of us do!) Get outside and enjoy the unpredictable weather that Spring brings - go for a walk, dust off your bike and go for a ride, rake up those ugly leaves, sweep off the driveway - whatever it takes to start moving again! I love Spring!
See you in a week.

Sandra Dee!

So, Sandra says that I should write about her. Is she sure that she wants me to do that? She is nodding her head, so, ok, here goes!

Thought that I should begin with a visual of Sandra - for all those thousands of blog readers who do not know her personally. Lovely picture, isn't it? Usually she has such a great smile - not too sure what she was trying to achieve with this facial expression, but it does give an insight into her often goofy personality.

Sandra aka Gus ,(I don't know why this is her nickname) likes to act silly from time to time. Is it an act, or is she really as naive as she pretends? Sandra has been known to ask an obvious questions or two - but that's a good thing. Better you ask a question, Sandra than sit there in confusion!

Anyway, I know that she is very involved with 4h and has been very successful over the years. She is trying snowboarding for the first time this Friday - very proud of you for taking a risk! And she already has her grad dress all pickout out (it looks fantastic on you!) Last spring I watched Sandra hurt innocent baby calves as she learned to brand on her parents farm - can't say that I could do that. Sandra is slowly gaining more confidence in herself and her abilities. She is a strong, cabable and talented young woman - even if she doesn't know it yet.

See, she's not as bad as she looks!!

This is STUPID!


So, as I mentioned in my previous blog, I changed my sign in to a Google account. THIS WAS NOT MY CHOICE! For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to log onto my account using my new password, etc, but I have not had any luck. I don't know what is wrong - I changed all my settings, read the help section 3 or 4 times, asked students (Thanks Zanna, for trying to help me figure this out), but I simply could not log on using my personal laptop. This is such a major pain.

I am now in the computer lab at school, on a Sunday, so that I can access my blog. Now that is dedication, I tell you!
I think I'll go take Bunny's advice.
PS. Tune in soon - I promise to be in a better mood and write about something important next time!
