Getting a Life...

Hi All--
It's been a while since I've written--the ice days through me off! Monday was MLK day so no school again! Needless to say, Tuesday was a killer at school.

Last weekend I ventured to Wasilla--home of Governor Sarah Palin--didn't see her--bummer! It's a cute town north of here--they have a big, brand new Target (we only have 2 in AK)--yes, I had to go in!! I had dinner at a friend's house --he made halibut--of course he caught it too (the halibut)! I also managed to get to Talkeetna last weekend. This is the cute little town that the show Northern Exposure was modeled after. It's also a launching point for climbers heading up Denali--it was clear last weekend so we thought viewing might be good--just ok though. Weird thing is, I didn't see one moose or any other wildlife--hummmmmm.....
When Kathy, Jenny, Sue and I were up here on '06...we were unable to get to Talkeetna--the road was washed out--you guys have to come back up and see it--too cute!

This week at school I was observed by my principal--I wasn't a bit nervous and all went well--the little heathens even behaved--I think they all thought they were in trouble!! LOL!

Last night I went to the UAA vs. Michigan Tech hockey game. I put it on my board at school on Friday--my students love Michigan hockey teams! Two boys said they wanted to go to Tech and one said MSU--isn't that funny! They all told me that UAA sucks! Well the game ended in a tie, so they didn't suck that bad!!!!! Funny how the word "suck " has made it into main stream vocabulary--didn't we get in trouble for saying it?????

The weather has been in the 20's--no snow--we need it bad--the lawns are almost bare. I haven't been out playing since Christmas.

I hope all is well with you!

Hugs,
SC
