We butchered my paper and got it under 5000 words :'(<\/p>\n<div>The good news is all of the brilliant cuts can still be used in my thesis \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<div>It is ready for submission&#8211;after my 50 word author&#8217;s statement and photo. What photo shall I submit? None of mine are very business like.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Very happy&#8211;excited about much. This afternoon we leave for night skiing at BigWhite. I am packing sandwiches for supper. Peter&#8217;s knee is still damaged from his fall snowboarding at Christmas so he will stay with Pip on the baby hill. I will take the big girls and hit the slopes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What else? Peter&#8217;s Egyptian Visa came on the same day the Egyptian president stepped down. So&#8230;perhaps the trip will come to pass. He is going to Cairo and Alexandria to check out their universities and review some of their programs&#8211;helping them modernize their programs.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Zumba was so much fun last night&#8211;met an old friend of mine there and chatted a bit. But I had an allergic reaction to something I ate&#8211;horrible stomach pain and giant hives on my arms??? Don&#8217;t have a clue what it was perhaps a chemical in something.<br \/>\nThe zumba teacher went to Tabs&#8217; school this week and taught her class some basic Zumba steps. Tabs \u00a0loved it! She is a chip off the old block.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Mistaya got a call back from an audition for a local theatre. They want her to be in a musical this summer&#8211;I am excited for her.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I purchased the most amazing boots yesterday. Hand made in Portugal. Teal lace ups. Perfect with jeans and skirts. I will wear them to T&#8217;s party I believe. I seldom buy shoes&#8211;I only buy the best and the coolest&#8211;that way them are so unique they never go out of style.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And I found the best Renaissance painting workshop in the South of France. I would study under Gregory P.&#8211;an Italian artist trained in USA. I will have 35 studio instructional hours&#8211;he will teach me the Renaissance technique of painting oil and egg tempera for more luminescent paintings. It is a very good price for room and board and lessons. The ateliar is open to me day and night. I have always wanted to learn this. It is a dream come true. The workshop is ten days in late April. That means I have 2 months to completely finish my thesis\/masters degree and two months to practice my French. Gregory is already a great teacher as he wants to communicate online to discuss and plan my work. Because it is ten days only, I must arrive with my canvas ready and sketched&#8211;so I can begin painting as soon as I arrive. I hope to use this skill to teach workshops here in BC on my return and perhaps (because I have a BEd and MA) I can help teach the workshops with Gregory in the future&#8211;yes, I have big plans&#8211;just don&#8217;t tell Gregory&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tabs and her best buddy Mickey Skating with Tabs class on Wednesday&nbsp; Had so much fun skating with Tabs&#8217; class.
