There are reasons I like facebook. This being posted is one. “I was doing an interview with Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche recently, and I asked him the question: “Rinpoche, you have been living in the west for some time now, and you know western people well. What do you think is …
First random thing: I would like to like the show Eastwick because 1) the redhead witch was on Eureka a show I love 2)The actor who plays Darryl the Satan character was in this WONDERFUL PBS/Sundance show called Slings and Arrows. Which I LOVED. 3) I adore the other redhead …
I have an interview or two or three. I have about 10 resumes out there, and have started getting positive responses back. I’m so excited to be going back to work. I did enjoy using my brain and effort in the M.A.T. program–I just didn’t like the fact that there …
Edited–WHY did this post in January? Sheesh. Today is world AIDs day. Get tested if you are at risk. Take care of yourselves–we’ve lost too many wonderful folk. Planet 51 is a cute movie. J, Em and I went this weekend and it was so cool to just hang out …

I don’t know if I’ll get to keep this up and post tomorrow. I’m going to a Curriculum conference. I’m terrified of driving in unknown cities. I hate driving in unknown cities. I’m also at a crossroads for a big decision. This whole thing could have been a massive wrong …

Has it really been that long since I’ve written anything? Well not really. I wrote beaucoup papers for my class this last semester. Actually I probably, no most assuredly, wrote above and beyond what was required because that’s just how I do things (I refuse to insert “how I roll” …
So though I am loathe to share anything about this journey until success is guaranteed, I feel as if I must. Today I had my interview for the Masters in Teaching program at the UofA. I’ve actually been working towards this for about a year. I started off in the …
I could almost say this is a ‘get off my lawn’ moment but I’m not bothered by kids, I’m bothered with adults. I think maybe kids have a handle on this “internet thing” and “the email,” (as those who have not used it long, which seem to be many in …
