Yeah,

here's me,

sick and feeling horrid.

I go and visit Notes from the Equator and get inspired.

OH MY GOD!!! that was a lightbulb moment

I just realized I want to get back to 'islandlife' and I can, under my own steam in a few years...thanks!

So.......

CLICK (that's so funny, on so many levels for me....i may save and expand blog this comment...)

I loved it too, wasn't what I expected, but was a powerful movie, I can't wait to see 'Reign over me'.

IMDb.....love it....never posted

thanks for the menu above, that was what really flipped the switch for me. I miss the opportunity to eat at so many fabulous places, fantastic food I never get here....I suppose I could if I had a good income, but not like there.

have a great one

don't miss the next meeting!

c u round!

I do miss Island life a lot. I knew I did, but hadn't really considered the reasons.

One is how much I dislike winter....cold.....snow......I loved the heat, humidity and all.

Another is that in living on a 'resort' island offers the opportunity to run in circles you might elsewhere not be privy to, if you get my drift.....

I love being on the ocean, I love it more when I can swim in it without worrying about hypothermia.....sunburns only hurt for a while.....

I had been thinking that I would probably try and 'stay put' til I had my trade, whichever I settle on and then I would look at heading to the other coast again....but.....

I may consider broadening those horizons. There are a ton of factors to take into account, first and foremost is kidlet and her education, school and extra-curricular. I know what potential is there....if you are willing.

And I could do it,

me,

under my own steam and control.

that was a powerful revalation.

And the other place I went was to see Laoch..... this was what I left for him....

Hard to believe isn't it....

I've heard so many similar comments of late, well meaning folks telling me women can't be millwrights, women can't work in the trades. meh. I've worked at far harder and dirtier than lots of those men...and met women who've been millwrights and tradespeople for over a decade.

Having said that, these are men looking at it from the outside....the ones on the inside that I've met have mostly been very accepting and encouraging.....that may partly be due to being tired of looking at the boys all the time!!!! sorry...hahaha...really, I've yet to meet one that wasn't, I know there are some that aren't, I've talked to a couple of them.

I could go on and on

couldn't I?

I have one more thing though....

Women can do anything Men can....and more!

have a great one

c u round!

I couldn't believe the father would tell his daughter she can't play hockey with the Blackhawks.....just cause a woman hasn't done it yet doesn't mean she couldn't.

Show me a man carrying and delivering a baby, then I might believe they are tougher than women. hahaha

Someone has to be the first, we've had women make the team as a golie, not sure they played any games.....damn now I need to go fact finding.....

Ok, that's too much from this sick puppy....time to go....

April has arrived, company didn't.

suprise

C U Round!
