I’m looking at the possibility of working through the University of Great Falls to either do an M.S. in Counselling or the MAT Program, which gives teacher training to second career people. I’m kind of sick of being in limbo at the moment and the M.S. in Counselling would be good for working with hospice ministries which is what I’d really like to do.
Any thoughts?
Ann from afghans for Afghans asked me this:
Do you know anyone who is good with Movable Type? We need a volunteer to help us design a companion site using Movable Type. They would need some artistic flair in addition to knowing the software.
So… any of you up to this? They are an awesome organization (I did the Blogathon for them) and it would be great for them to get a blog-type setup in place.
I regret to say that I will not be able to participate in Buy Nothing Day this year.
The reason: I’ll be in Great Falls and as it’s the closest Joann Fabrics around, I am going to be needing to pick up 3 yards of fleece for some Project Linus blankies.
Is my sin of going out and being a consumer expiated by the fact that the end result is charitable?
To the esteemed people in the House of Representatives:
GROW UP!!!!!! Your “fiery debate” was broadcast on national TV, NPR, CBC, and quite a few other media sources in this hemisphere. You are not guests on the Jerry Springer show, so please act like mature adults… if that is actually possible for any of you to do.

I’m wishing I could send this to some people in my life who shall remain nameless…
I put this up last night at Jon’s insistence. I didn’t really want to do it but some Minnesota readers from Hancock and Halstad showed up on my site meter and I wanted to make some things clear so that I don’t have to re-password the site. Do me a favor and read it through, especially if you’re a first time surfer. As for the Minnesota people, I IP-banned them for the time being — I asked them to ID themselves and they didn’t. I don’t mind lurkers all that much, except when said lurkers do stupid things that affect me.
I went to Shelby this morning for a haircut and to drop off my paperwork with Shelby Public Schools. Well… turns out my hair appointment was earlier than I expected, so I just dropped stuff off at the school district office and went back home.
I called Chester to find out about fingerprinting and they told me to just go to the sheriff’s office and they could do it for me. Well… I drive 20+ miles there to find that the sheriff can’t accomodate me because there’s only one deputy who can do it and he’s out. So… I called Shelby to ask if they could do it in an hour (which is about how long it was going to take to get from Chester to Shelby) and they said yes. So… I truck 45 miles back to Shelby and a nice deputy fingerprints me. All in all, I think I drove 75 miles for 5 minutes of fingerprinting. I’ll have a parishioner take it over to the schools for me.
Tonight, Jon had a council meeting so I did some baking: gingerbread cats. I have kitty cookie cutters and I got this recipe oof of AllRecipes.Com. I only made half a batch and got 7 cats out of it — I think 2 batches should yield enough for Ke to decorate.
I also realized that I needed a life when I started drawing out plans for how I’d build a gingerbread house and decorate it — making everything from scratch. I never wanted to be Martha Stewart and I’m afraid that I’m turning into her!!!!!!!!!!! *runs screaming*
