I need to be alone once in awhile to breath in again an recoup from all the socialization. It all takes practice I suppose. I am so used to my dad&#8217;s way of socializing: being in full-out party mode for a few hours and then needing to retreat for awhile alone to rest. I will have to <span>develop<\/span> new skills that involve being the quiet Buddha girl in the back during class and reserving Party girl for&#8230;.parties. And the <span>Prof<\/span>&#8211;Carol&#8211;mentioned to the class how we once sang <span>karaoke<\/span> <span>together<\/span> at a party&#8211;Achey\u00a0<span>Breaky<\/span> Heart&#8211;for the <span>benefit<\/span> of the class. I felt a little bit shy and uncomfortable at that mention but managed to smile bravely as she told the story.<\/div>\n<div>So much grueling house work is involved in keeping a house of five running. I try to run this <span>queendom<\/span> like a ship but good-grief it is work.

We are like Mexico City here in the <span>Okanagan<\/span> Valley&#8211;everything hangs in the air over our tight valley. Blow you smoke! Blow away so I can breath again!!! I <span>blame<\/span> the Americans of course. Put out your blasted forest fires!<\/div>\n<div>Oh, and feel free to comment&#8211;I do like a lot of feed back.
