okay so I wasted a bunch of time at the site Katherine mentioned for the emotional quotient test, not that i disagree with my score. My score may or may not be correct … but the Research and Evaluation and Testing classes that I took in my graduate studies in Counselling tell me we should look at these results with a grain of salt… or sample them with a grain of salt… and I have to question the validity of the test… some of the questions are a bit screwy… anyway
note to Angie: my blog gender is female with a huge sampling, male with the recommended word count….. at least it was in in early March when you first pointed this link out… who knows what has happened to me since
Katherine and I attempted to watch Sweeney Todd last night, it is very long and I like musicals but singing song after song about cooking people and blood… well it gets tedious and boring and you start thinking about the things you need to get done, which is what we did, and so we “paused” it thinking we would come back to it, but as much as I am a fan of Johnny Depp, I don’t think so. At UM, I was a costume coordinator for the Ring Theater production of Sweeney Todd… and I remember that show with a bit more appreciation than the film last night.
and another layout because that scrapping mojo is baaaaack! If you enlarge the layout you can read the lyrics

these lyrics from Walk Down this Mountain by Bebo Norman were so very cool… it has these all hopes and dreams for Emily wrapped up inside a catchy tune… I was happy to see that photo and recognize so much of that Emily is still here today, a little sassier (If possible) than then, but still my Emmy G
and note to Tony and Caroline: Frank Mills and Music Box Dancer (1979)… we were fixing to watch House last night when a piano piece came on the TV listing channel and I asked, “what is that playing? Fleur de Lys?” (I have a dreadful ear for tunes) He said, “no, a bit more modern, “ and then he pondered and pondered all through the show, he remembered the artist, his Dad had this cassette… and this morning, I discovered the Wiggles have re-recorded it and here it is for C*Line’s viewing pleasure
Katherine is going to challenge her fellow IB students to participate in the 100 Days of Change for Rwanda that I wrote about yesterday… we have a giant Mason canning jar, BIG, 
they make them huge in this country, and Hannah and Emily put in 97 cents Canadian and assorted US coins…
and I close with a Jenni story… some of you know Jenni has Downs syndrome… and I still remember a doctor telling me that reasoning was not something she would do…. well, I am here to tell you that Jenni reasons everyday of her life…. she sometimes comes to different conclusions than other people, but I guess she gets that from her mother… as people in my acquaintance tell me sometimes that I do not think according to their lines, *ahem* anyhoo, back to Jenni-lein….
we have a leaky drain … under the kitchen sink .. until we can fix it, we have a pot collecting water underneath… which we have to empty periodically… my mother comes to tell me she feels like she empties it all the time… and I am thinking, well, I know i have done it once… and it did not seem like a big deal… later Mom tells me Jenni pointed out to her that it does not make much sense to empty the pot into the sink as it flows right back out again… best to empty the pot in the toilet… the one time I emptied the pot, I poured it down the sink… so… I think Jenni does okay with reasoning….
