Apparently I'm the unsought advice lady!
Here is a cool thing I heard about on CBC: the auto protection agency . They have lots of info on used cars and also some advocacy about buying cars reasonably with an at-par dollar. I've noticed this is in the news a lot just recently so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that when a) my car finally kicks the bucket or b) I can actually afford a newer car the prices will be better.
PD day tomorrow and I'm going to show up doing some gross, messy sneezing unless this really is just allergies making mucous actually run out of my nose and drip on my face. It is super disgusting even to me and it's my snot. Thank goodness no one else has to see it yet. Maybe it'll be under control by tomorrow. Just in case it isn't, I bought another box of Kleenex(TM) with lotion because that stuff is AWESOME! Nothing else will do when I have a nasty sneeze fest unless I can get my hands on a real handkerchief. Might have to go in search for one of those again. I did have one once but it has been lost in my travels. Alas.

If you're in Ontario (or voting by proxy...Lydia!)
I suggest checking out

I found it via CBC because I remember hearing about proportional representation in highschool but I think I might not have been paying perfect attention and now I want to know what it means and if I like it or not. This nearly-here election has made me realize how little I know about what I'm voting for. Going to try and get myself better informed about the people, the parties and what I want from them before the 10th! As if I didn't have enough homework already!

If you're looking to buy ethically
try ten thousand villages, my Nana got me a tshirt from them (not off the website) and it is by far the most complemented item of clothing I've ever owned.
Next, on a local level: I have found out where to buy local eggs which will make me feel a lot less guilty about eating them and I found out that a local restaurant has organic, fair trade coffee and tea available and for sale and they use local and organic meat and local vegetables AND they have gluten free bread options too! So if anyone wants to visit, I have a place to feed all of you!
Edited to add: I figured out how to add links and you even go to a new page or tab too! Yay!

h'lo
I cannot guarantee anything about keeping this going but I so enjoy reading my friends / firendos blogs that I feel bad about only being a taker and never a giver. Now maybe all y'all who never email/call will at least know what I'm up to.
Just trying to get into the swing of Gr. 7 so far (and not procrastinating at all ha ha). So far so good. The students are cheeky as ever but have a fair attention span which is a noce change. We did some art which went really well and some Lang.Arts which was less joyfully received!
