Today was very cold and dry, but bright and sunny with no wind to speak of. I felt wonderful.. energetic and almost bouncy... Maybe I've been eating all my vegetables and the weather helps, I'm sure.
When I was in church earlier this week, the priest reminded everyone that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and Catholics 14 years old and upwards are asked to abstain from eating meat on that day. I'm sure I forgot last year.
This evening, I decided to boil some perogies, then saute them in some vegetable oil. Messy process really, remind me not to get anymore anytime soon. Everyone loves them once you toss them in some oil, though.
K had an interview at the local public high school today. It has a good reputation and is close to home. He'll likely start there in September. The schools around here have about 2000 kids and the vice principal admits that bullying is a fact of life. In fact, she has a confidential number boldly displayed on her bulletin board that kids can call to report incidents. It was nice of her to let us know that Grade 9 kids are a target, being new. She seems to be a 'no-nonsense' kind of person. (Well, she must have seen everything by now). K thought she was nicer than his current department head.

Hi Christine, yes Lent. Well for the first time in a long time I am going to do the fasting thing, well its not a fast really is it. I dont eat much meat anyway but I am going to give up other things I like. Choosing schools must be a big thing. My daughter went to Catholic schools and then went to public schools in the last three years of schooling. It was way better for her personality type I have to say. Its tough for kids and I feel sorry for them really. Perogies - never heard of them. Glad you feel good. You look after yourself and the weather is getting better and I hope it keeps up!!! Enjoy.
Oh I forgot to add tha tI have had prolems with follower. Lost 60 blogs I was following overnight. Thats why mine is back on yours again. I use my blogroll anyway.
Here are the answers if you have had any problems.
To fix the Follower issue, go to Dashboard. On the left you will see "Manage". Click on that. To the right of each blog if you see "Anonymously" against any blogs you are following, you needs to change it to "Publicly." It often reverts to Anonymous for some strange reason. Now you will appear on that person's blog. I imagine they have to do the same to reappear on your blog. So spread the word!
Oh, isn't it true that the sun will put you in a good mood, especially coming out of winter? We've had several overcast days now. I'm ready for a bit of sun.
I love perogies!
Well, Lilly, I caved in and already ate meat today. But I'll do some seafood for supper. I hope this new school will be better for K's personality type too! Perogies are Ukrainian food, I think...we get all kinds of food here to try. They're little dumplings stuffed with potato, cheese, meat, vegetables or whatever, great with onions and sour cream.
Wow, I'm glad I didn't lose you as a follower, thanks for letting me know. I figured you were experimenting with your blog somehow.
Japra, today's almost like spring, I'm out in just running shoes instead of boots.
