\"\"<\/a>My jet-setting sis in New York raised concerns over my lack of blogging. Yes, I confess to letting it slide a wee bit. But partly because sometimes my past blogging was down right obsessive! I felt the need to blog everyday no matter what–I often blogged in a busy frenzy. So perhaps the daily blogs were not the panacea. Perhaps the almost-daily blogs are the very best for me at this time.<\/p>\n

This AM we are off to attempt our first ever complete family bike trip. We’ll attempt the Mission Creek trail–Pip in the new bike trailer. Peter bought a bike last night–my early anniversary present to him! Then we shall get to the most out of the condo experience with a good long swim this afternoon. The Mist has made plans to go to her friend’s house to bake a cherry pie. She hasn’t seen Sara in 3 weeks, so I thought it a fine idea.<\/div>\n
I did a last-second class section switch–I got the very last spot. After me, the section was officially filled! I am so lucky, as last minute information made me decide that I needed to switch classes.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I haven’t felt completely myself since San Francisco–alittle disorganised<\/span>. However, I think things are starting to all fall into place. I am looking forward to nailing down my thesis in August–I just need to write about 3-4 experts in the field and speak with them to give me a better idea of direction. These are all the things that interest me, so the thesis study will involve some or all these areas:<\/div>\n
-global literacy of girls.<\/div>\n
-creative writing.<\/div>\n
-children’s literature.<\/div>\n
-digital creative writing: for or by children.<\/div>\n
So as you can see, I need a much tighter focus.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I am dividing up our family trips into activities. This weekend it is our bike weekend.<\/div>\n
Kamloops<\/span> weekend it will be canoeing<\/span> (Paul Lake), camping, gold panning and ghost hunting weekend. Nelson will be our posh, boating weekend.<\/div>\n
I still have dreadful chores on my plate: fence building quotes, cat new-home finding.<\/div>\n
But at least I have switched sections for my summer class starting Monday! Fewf<\/span>! I feel so good about that–it makes me realize I have had serious trepidations<\/span> about the section I was in all along. Three cheers for figuring that out!<\/div>\n
BTW, Nem<\/span> and Tabs have both become the most AMAZINGLY<\/span> skilled swimmers overnight! Their teacher must be good. We are all so proud of them both!<\/div>\n
Artemi<\/span> and Pip both have a nasty cold bug–John too. Miranda and I shared a nasty headache-tummy upset, burning cheeks bug this past week–not too serious though, I am fully recovered.<\/div>\n
Oh, Miranda and family will move into their new home on Sunday–so long Condo swimming pool and beach.<\/div>\n
