It's not my fault!

Where the hell did November go? Seriously.  It was just last week that I was writing my November blog...so colour me surprised that it is now December and I haven't written for much of November.

Hmmm, what to chat about. Well since I last wrote, much has happened.  Clearly, November is a blur.  After returning to work following my never ending flu, things just picked up and flew.  Our fourth graders did a dynamite job of their little plays depicting their favourite scenes from Loser.  They worked hard to prepare their skits, and did a fabulous job with their presentations last Thursday.  I was so proud of them.  They are quite the group, when they put their mind to it.

The birthday trip to Bali was once in a lifetime...that will happen again and again if I have anything to say about it.  I can't begin to describe the amazing beauty.  I think that I get spoiled being here to begin with. So to see it in such an environment as Bali really does leave you breathless.

November also brought American Thanksgiving. We had a nice pot-luck at our director's place.  The last big hurrah in November was a talent show to benefit our local staffs' medical bills.  I had a blast performing two songs.  One as a solo and one, a duet with a friend.  It was really a Alice uplifting time.  Although we didn't raise nearly enough money to cover the cost of the medical bills, it was still a worthwhile event.  Sadly all the practicing, performing and a little jamming afterward has left me croaky like a toad...par for the course, I guess.  I will try to rest up my voice this week.

It is a matter of days now until I will be home for Christmas. Okay, so it is more like a few weeks.  however, I have enough fingers and toes to count the number of days now, so that makes it close.  Woo hoo.  I am excited too come home...even though I am sure the winter weather will be more than I can manage.

The last couple of weeks will be busy too.  Between regular teaching duties, the assembly at the end of December and getting ready to come home I am sure the time will fly by.  I am working hard at returning to a gulag schedule at the gym, but sadly it doesn't always go as plans because my foot will take a nasty turn with little or no warning.  However  I keep on trying.

Well, I guess I will be off.  I will see what I can do about getting some pics up from my Bali trip.

Hopefully there will be an additional blog in the next few weeks.

Missing you all
