Happy March!!!

Well almost. I love March, its the greenness of it I think. St Patrick's Day is fun, ever since I had to learn "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" as a pledge in 1977, I have an affinity for this special day. Even my students know that I'm excited about March because they all know "Teacher! That's your favorite color!!" Too cute, huh!

Family is good. Nevin has a perforated eardrum, ouch! from an infection. My mom appears to have fully recovered from her pacemaker business and Dad is good. My dn, Brett, will have his big Boy Scout Eagle ceremony in a couple of weeks along with a couple of his friends who have been together in Scouts since they were little guys.

I was in a computer funk there for a couple of months. I was so burnt out of working on papers that I stopped doing anything computer related, even checking my email. I also decided to stop the Grand Canyon classes for now. I had some great teachers, some that were OK but not great communicators, met some really nice people, but generally was underwhelmed with the lack of information/communication from the actual school. I also don't appreciate all the time I wasted on hold listening to their "New Age" music than went on and on and on... Maybe I'll go back but not for now.

March is going to be a busy month for me, I want to go to the Irish Festival next week, I have several craft events, gotta love that, and I'm doing flowers for Brett's Boy Scout ceremony. Also, I want to celebrate my dad's birthday St Patrick's Day style, hopefully, he'll go for it.

I see some friends more than others and I wish my Aussie friends lived closer!!

Does anyone have advise to get Cd's out of the car stereo? I loaded a new Elvis one and it won't play and nothing will come out. Its the kind that holds 6 Cd's, not the magazine kind. Thanks!

Keep in touch! Love, Robin
