One of my favourites because it highlights her blonde afro. My dad called her &#8220;Sparkle Plenty&#8221; at this age, because of her blonde curls and big blue eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Tabs is so excited lately as she has made a new friend and they find each other fascinating. It is exciting to witness little girls falling in love with each other. The new friend is coming over after school today.<\/p>\n<p>Today was the coldest day I have ever jogged on. This morning I ran for about ten minutes with Fernando in mittens and a toque. But my hands froze solid because the wind was probably 70 km\/h and so COLD! I ran home and by that time my hands were numb. I actually cried as they thawed out in pain. Once thawed, I put on my ski mittens, a heavy new toque and an extra down vest and headed out again. The last stretch was so windy and cold I vowed to never jog on such a cold morning ever again. It is unusually windy and cold for this time of year!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I am up all night listening to the wind howl.<br \/>Last night I dreamed of 2 giant raccoons that morphed into tigers&#8211;they&#8217;d both hurt their paws and were limping&#8230; I wanted to help them but didn&#8217;t know how to go about it as they were dangerous wild animals and afraid of me to boot.<\/p>\n<p>Pip home with bronchitis. Mist home with a sore throat (it has been a bad year for sore throats in this house).<\/p>\n<p>France is off. A meditation retreat instead for ten days. There is so much I&#8217;d love to do but my focus will be on finding a job as soon as I hand in my thesis. I already applied to graduate this spring. I meet with my supervisor tomorrow.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pic is of Tabs at age 2&#8211;taken on Shuswap Lake, BC.
