Yes, yes I can!
That’s right, the next big thing we’ve been waiting on… I got my Alberta teaching certification! After 10 months of waiting on Immigration, waiting a month for the Alberta teaching certification office to examine my Indiana credentials and deem me qualified to hold a professional teaching license was a cake walk. This weekend will be busy as I organize my resume and dust off my teaching portfolio that has been waiting ever so patiently to be needed again. The final step of fully immigrating feels so close to being complete now… there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and I anxiously and happily await teaching again next school year.

Let’s play a guessing game.
First, let’s guess who was charged $112 for a Taebo order on 4/27/2007?
Monday, 4/9/2007, I talked to a “Maria” who not only canceled that ridiculous order but told me flat out when I asked that WE WOULD NOT BE CHARGED. I even got an order cancellation confirmation number.
Now let’s play the guessing game again. Let’s guess who’s getting one hell of a phone call tomorrow? (since conveniently their customer service, that’s supposedly open until 9pm EST and it’s currently 7pm EST, is closed at the moment.)
If you answered “us” and then “Taebo Customer Service”, you are the big winner for today. Congratulations!

At first I scoffed at the commercial, but that was before I had tried Babybel. Now I understand why those 3 grown men threw themselves out of an airplane for it. If you haven’t seen the commercial or have no idea what I’m talking about, click here to see it. Assuming you have the flash player installed on your browser, you’ll see a spot to click “Watch the mini Babybel TV ad” around the middle of the page – click it! It’s the bottom-most of the two ads you can choose from to watch.
Alright, I know why you’re really here reading. You’re looking for an update to the Billy Blanks …

The events about to unfold are true. The names were NOT changed to protect the innocent.

I’ve done Taebo for years. I love the Billy Blanks Taebo workouts and do Billy’s Cardio BootCamp DVD three times a week fairly religiously. Back when I ordered it, it was part of a complete BootCamp set that came with these “Billy Bands” used for the resistance training portion of the DVDs. Mine became defective and during the Cardio DVD Billy says right in the video “If your bands break, that’s ok, just call us and we’ll get you new bands.” … so why would there be a problem, right? Since it was the start …

I’ve decided that I get way too emotionally attached to tv shows. Lucas gets me hooked on these series, and then they end, and it’s devestating for me. First it was The Office (the British original) and now Rome. Last night was the season finale, and I’ve been informed that there will be no further seasons. It’s so depressing! There was so much unfinished business and so much more story to tell… ugh. I think Lucas gets a kick out of how seriously I get into these shows.
Easter is almost upon us, and I can’t believe it’s the first weekend in April. April is next week! I …
