Shakespeare in Summerland

Princess Penelope.
My last MA class is in sight! Only 2 more Saturdays! I am going to get to go to some of Tabs soccer games this season after all.
 This Saturday my group hosts the field trip to Oyama. It will be a cultural/natural experience of the area culminating in making a ceramic tile at the local studio.
Artemisia is over playing with Pip at the moment.
Peter is busy all week with the conference he is hosting thus, I have cleared the week of all suppers and we are dining out. Tonight I will make the girls a little something because I have to run to Zumba. Perhaps I’ll bring us home a movie tonight.
I almost bought myself a fluffy novel at Chapters today “French Kissing” but the $22 price kept me away. I’ll spend that much on a good book but summer fluff–not so much.
Friday night we are off to Summerland to watch my nephew Kyran in a Shakespearean play. We’ll get supper there and meet my sisters and their families.
I want to finish all my class notes tomorrow so I am free to start my thesis. I feel it will be delightful to only have my thesis to worry about (temporarily). Then I will need to hunt down a good MFA. I am happy though, because I am aware of my need to only pursue degrees which have me painting or writing fiction. If I am not doing these 2 passions I feel like I am being smothered by a life not of my choosing.
Mistaya has been accepted into math honours next year. It is competitive. Students have to be teacher recommended and then must score high on a math honours exam and have a stellar work ethic history. We are proud of her.
I am enjoying my new hard-core weight lifting 3x a week. I feel I am building a super strong muscular foundation. Do not misunderstand me, it is boring and it is hard work but I will keep at it simply because these 3 mornings a week give me a really, really strong frame and defined muscles.
Starting to get a little nervous about the jungles of Borneo. I so want to do a jungle trek but I am a tad nervous because I don’t want to pick up any tropical parasites or viruses–I have 3 babies to come home to. I’ll have to way the risks.

    Oh my goodness! There’s Pip looking ridiculous in her pony tails. Has she had a change of heart? Looking forward to seeing all the stellar nieces – and of course mes soures and their handsome partners.

    The play was amazing. Kyran made a perfect jester and the drama teacher is an incredible playwrite. And interestingly, all of the teenage energy was a little unnerving “lord of the flies” BBQ!
