The First Crocuses Are Up!

I saw them on Bayers Road on Monday.

Now. I shouldn't be looking at crocuses, thinking about crocuses, or Blogging about crocuses, I should be reading and studying and thinking, and when I'm taking a break from reading, studying and thinking, I should be marking and marking and marking.

Yeah, He's Hot!

Apparently, Atlantic Talent Agency lets you vote on how hot their talent is!

Well.

You know who's hot? Trent's hot! Click here and here and tell them so! Just above the pictures are a bunch of little white or yellow oblong dots. Click on them are rate Bear's picture. Maybe he will get more auditions!

And Then There Would Be Little Bits of Can Lit All Over the Walls!

Okay. My candidacy exams are coming up in just over a month. For those of you who are not in the know, this is probably the most intense period of my post-secondary career. Basically, they give us a year to become experts in our field by madly reading everything on an enormous reading list, then we have three days of examinations to complete--two days of written exams, and one four-hour oral exam. If I fail... well, let's say I was a pretty good secretary once upon a time. So I'm afraid I'm not going to be much fun between now and May 3rd, when my exams are finally over. That's assuming that my brains don't become so full that my head just explodes.

Blogging is So Last Week.

My name is Becca and I'm a Facebook addict. At first, I only signed up because all the cool kids were talking about it and I wanted to know what it was like. Only now, I can't stop. I Facebook every day. Sometimes twice a day. I've even added a Facebook badge to the bottom of my Blog.

Since I started Facebooking, I've connected with old Fort Edmonton friends, Walterdale friends, UofA friends, GSA friends, Dal friends, and even two friends from France.

I can't stop. I just can't help myself. I Facebook nearly as much as I Blog...

In 65 days...

We will be in Edmonton! Yay! We arrive May 18th, and we don't go home until the 27th. Thank you SO MUCH for all the place-to-crash invites (and especially to Phidit and Nancy, who were going to let us spend 10 days with them in their one-bedroom apartment!) and the equally awesome car-to-drive offers. It's nice to know we're still welcome in E-Town!
We will be spending part of the visit chez Greg & Nadine in our old Lymburn stomping ground, and the rest of the visit with Julie, Bob, Emmet and tummybaby in St Albert. We've rented a car with our Airmiles, so we're good to go!
I know everyone has a busy scedule, so I thought we could plan a couple of evenings out to make sure that we get a chance to see everyone. Are Japanese Village and Sapphire still where the cool kids go?
We can't wait to see everyone!

... and if they could, can their paws work a mouse to get online?

You know how sometimes, you know what you should do, only it takes someone else to actually say it before you can really resolve on doing it? That's how it was for the Barky Dog situation. I knew that I should just go and talk to my neighbours, and, in fact, Trent and I had already sounded the idea of first asking our other neighbours Danny and Angie what the Barky Dog people are like--but I didn't really have the nerve to do it until you all gave me your brilliant, inspired, mature advice. So. On Thursday, I decided that I would go around and talk to both sets of neighbours on Saturday. Except that, on Friday, the dog didn't start barking until much later in the morning than usual--nearly 8:00 a.m. And on Saturday and Sunday, I didn't hear it at all until the afternoon. And yesterday, not until 7:30 a.m. ... until 8:30 a.m. A little later start than most days, but still, I was all ready to go and talk to neighbours today... except that this morning, the dog didn't bark at all. In fact, I didn't even see it as I left for school. And it wasn't outside when I got home, either. And it's not out now.

Last time Cujo disappeared was after I had called in a midnight noise complaint about it. So maybe one of my other neighbours got tired of the daily Sunrise Serenade. Or maybe the family got sick of that long, twice-daily walk from back door to the end of the driveway to tie up and bring in the dog.

Or...

Are we really sure dogs can't read? ...
