Cold Hands, Warm Heart

After getting burned out teaching high school in a tiny Alaskan town, I have moved on to being a child advocate in a small Alaskan town. The struggles are similar, but now I can buy milk at the store.

She's baaaAAaack.

Okay devoted fans, here I am. I was feeling pretty guilty about not posting anything for two weeks, until I logged on, and none of the other teachers I read are posting either, and then I felt better.

Eventualy, there will be pictues from prom and graduation, and the senior trip. Just not right now. For now, I thought you could all use a nice bulleted list of things I'd forgotten I missed about the states:

-Fresh Blueberries.
-Pineapple that's not in a can.
-Animal cookies.
-Bookstores.
-Drivethroughs.
-Drinking water from the tap.
-Flushing
-Adjustable heat showers.
-Showers that aren't on a timer.
-Other people cooking.
-Comparison shopping.
-Cell phones.
-Cable
-Church with other people.
-Boys.
-Cheap bread.

Well, for now, that's what I've got. I'm just thankful for these things.

  1. This list made me laugh... and then I thought... gee she's not joking and I felt kind of sad... Are you ever planning to move back to the real world? Or have you become acustomed to Alaska? :)

    P.S. If you think Ferndale is far just remember all those times when I was in Oak Harbor and you were in Sedro. It's so not far.
