I have all those books plus a few more of hers. They are living in my attic until I somehow come up with a giant bookcase. I need to re-read them, it's been over 20 years.

Ugh. High winds and major pressure change has caused me to suffer migraine flashes this morning.

We are expecting a winter storm! Freezing rain for my area but poor Toronto is expecting lots of snow!!!

My kids may get a storm day - in April!

Well despite all that is going on in the world right now I do have some good news :)

1st- I got a call from a government agency telling me that I passed the test I wrote a couple of weeks ago and they will be calling me to set up an appointment for language testing. I am also going for testing at the Department of Justice tomorrow! :crossed: :lucky:

2nd-my hubby and his band were on the news this week-just a short segment but they did show part of their video and they are playing at a local bar on Friday as part of a showcase for the Juno promotions (Junos are the Canadian equivalent to the Grammys or American Music Awards for you U.S. chicks), then he is playing again on Saturday night at another local bar. his band has also been in the local paper twice this week :cb: I married a rock star! :devil: :cool: :lol:

3rd-I leave for London, England on the 14th :D Only 10 days to go!

:chin:...since we were talking about books...I already have my plane book picked out....the latest Michael Slade book:)

mauv mauv mauv...

rock star wife ~and~ jet setter! mind if i live vicariously? :p

sorry to hear about all the sick little ones... i can only imagine what a stress that must be. hope everyone is feeling better very soon.

:spin:

S.

Mauv-CONGRATS and good luck!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! Mauvais!!!!!!!!

It is GREAT that all these wonderful things are happening in your life!! Hope They keep on coming!!! Tell your DH congratulations too!!!:lucky: :dance: :bravo: :cloud9:

Mauvais, that's wonderful news!! I'm so happy for you both! :cb:
Which local paper?

You can't leave on the 14th! That's the day of the big anti-war protest! Jim and I were expecting you to come with us! :D
Jim is leaving for England the following week. He said to me, "Let's make it memorable - but not so memorable that I'm stuck in an RCMP detention cell in Northern Alberta just before my trip." :lol:

Thanks for the support everyone! :D You chicks are great!

I will be sending protest vibes to you Ellis-I will be with you in spirit at least :) The band was in the Citizen in the 16 page pull out section on the Junos, they are called Pale AD, They will be on the news on CJOH tomorrow night, I'm not sure if it will be the 6:30 edition or the 11:30 edition.

I am nervous about the test tomorrow as they did not tell me what it is about, they just said it was to see if you can work within the parameters of the job??? No mention of typing or computer tests :shrug: Guess I will see when I get there.

Just said a little prayer for you, Mauvais. ;)
:grouphug:

Thanks Ellis :D You are a sweetie!

I just hope I get a break on the job front soon. I am glad that I at least have a job at the moment but I would like to be working in a more positive environment, and better pay and benefits would be a bonus;)

Mauvais-Your current position sounds like what my therapist calls "A toxic environment." hope you can get out of it soon. You deserve A LOT better!!
I'll be sending good vibes your way tomorrow.

Lamorgan... Mauvais.... there is a honkin' STORM WARNING!!! Good lord!! "Snow heavy at times mixed with ice pellets."
I CAN'T STAND IT!!! IT'S ALL RUTH'S FAULT FOR LEAVING!!!

Can you believe it? My kids are all home today - the schools are closed due to a major winter storm!!!! But the newspapers still had to go out! Actually, it was kind of cool walking in the ice-pellets... Not too cold out but a wicked north-east wind. I will have to cancel my visit with my dear friend Randy though, I was supposed to go tomorrow after work and spend the night. The weather is supposed to be bad until tomorrow.

Wild for April. The Robins out there do not look too happy.

I was listening to CBC and how so many government workers in Ontario are getting freaked about needing strong French skills.

Good luck to you Mauvais! And for your husband too!

Ah well, last assignment calls to be completed. Worth 25% of my mark, and already my kids are driving me nuts (because they want the computer).

My youngest is having a snit because I said no-way to Nintendo for today.

Good luck with your assignment, Lamorgan!! :grouphug:

It snowed in Reno yesterday. You up North aren't the only ones having wierd April weather! In Fallon, it is just windy and cold!
