thing #5: Flickr

Still exploring and trying to figure this out. I hate taking pictures, because I have Keratoconus which is a deterioration of the structure of the cornea with gradual bulging from the normal round shape to a cone shape. This condition causes decreased visual acuity. It is frequently discovered during adolescence( from medline plus, 2007). I am supposed to wear hard contact lens, but I never get up in time to put them in and my eyes get too tired. Well I'll have to ask my tech god husband for help, because his other hobby is photography.

Well believe it or not i played around with flickr. I downloaded one of my husband's pictures from Chichen Itza. Flickr is neat because you can share photos.

Favorite Susan Grant Books

Susan Grant is not for high school students or below. Mom and dad will probably not like the steamy love scenes and hot sex, but for adults who want to curl up and relax she's a good read. I don't know about you, but I like to escape from reality after a hectic week. I like to lie in my nice comfortable bed and curl up into an imaginative world and escape into the paranormal, futuristic universe. I have authors who are my stress relievers so I want to share them with other women who may need a dose of them too.

I love The Star Princess by Susan Grant. Independent film maker Ilana Hamilton and Vash Prince Che' Vedla get together so he can take a vacation away from his home world. A second romance has bodyguard Muffin Thorme falling for plus size aviation mechanic Copper Kaminsky. The other two books in the Star series The Star King have Ilana's mother Jasmine meeting Rom B'Kah, a man from outer space and falling in love again divorced and in her 40's. The Star Prince is about Ilana's twin Ian and a runaway Vash princess and has a secondary romance between tracker Lara Ros and warrior Gan.
Susan is an United Airlines pilot and former airforce pilot. I got to meet her and I have emailed her and she wrote me back several times. I also like her book The Scarlet Empress which is the last book in the 2176 series and am eagerly awaiting How to lose an extraterrestial in ten days,. Divorced woman meets terminator type on the run ET. This is the third in Outwordly men series. In Your Planet or mine, California State Senator Jana Jasper meets her childhood imaginery friend Cavin Far Star and in My favorite Earthling, Janna's older Air Force pilot brother Jared marries Warrior Queen Kiera to try to save earth. The third and final book in the series features Janna's older sister Evie, a divorced thirty-something soccer mom.


Her paranormal aviation romances are fun to read and relax to. If you like flying, outer space, and romance. Susan grant who lives near Roseville, CA is an author for you. Visit her website at www.susangrant.com

Thing #4: My Avator

Thing #4: My Avator



Why are avators all skinny? Some of us our plus size. I tried to find a plus size avator. I'm not that plus of a size. I am between a 16 and 18 and I do occasional jean modeling for www.zafu.com so I can tell you there are lots of jeans out there for larger sizes. I am only between 1/4 to 1/8 American Indian and even though I pass for white I consider myself to be American Indian ( i prefer first nations). I wear my hair short so i can manage it and I do wear glasses. I love bookstores, libraries and reading. I also love my doggie Milo. He is mixed yellow lab and shepard. i adopted him from Hopalong animal rescue he was abused but i am giving him a good life. I must love him I spend a fortune in doggie daycare and when he got sick I had a vet bill of $600. The doggie day care I use is Just Pet Me country Club in Oakland CA ( www.justpetme.com) they are almost 8000 square feet and they have awesome hours M-F 5:30am to 9pm and Saturday and Sunday (7am to 7Pm)

It took me forever to get my avator in my blog and i had to ask my tech god husband for help. I choose blogger.com because it was easy to use.

Thing #3: My BlogThing

Thing #3: My Blog

Wow!!! I just read PC Cast's Goddess of Love. Imagine you are just an average woman and you have a crush on a handsome firefighter who does not notice you are alive! Imagine that you are a goddess in a loveless marriage or a god unsure of yourself because you don't fit in with all the other immortals! Venus, the goddess of love, tries to help shy, insecure Pea snag Griffin but starts to fall for him herself. Vulcan, the god of fire, spys on Venus to see what she is up to and learns about the mortal world. He's an outcast in the world of perfect immortals but on mortal earth he's getting alot of attention from females. Can immortals and mortals find happiness together? Will Pea snag her handsome firefighter? Will the goddess of love and the god of fire emd their marriage of convience? Lots of fun and playful romance in this book, be warned there are some steaming love scences. Its a great relaxing book!

I love fantasy and paranormal novels. My favorite authors are Susan Grant, Catherine Spangler, Angela Knight, and PC Cast. I also like Christine Feehan and Sunny along with sci fi author Orson Scott Card. I love books so I decided to call myself the Goddess of Books. I am a cross between Athena , goddess of wisdom ( I love owls and turtles) and Nike, goddess of victory.

I went to blogger.com and am learning about creating a blog. I am also finishing up Masters of Dragons by Angela Knight and getting lost in the Mageverse world, the Sidhe world, and dragon kingdom. The next read I am waiting for is Christine Feehan's Safe Harbor #5 in the Drake sisters series. The Drake sisters are 7 with magical powers. Visit www.christinefeehan.com to learn more. She also has teasers to advertise her books. They are so neat. My first Drake sisters novel was Oceans of Fire ( the cover took my breath away). Then I read Twilight before Christmas, Magic in the Wind, and Dangerous Tides. I tried to get into the Dark series but only have managed to enjoy the ones about the De La Cruz brothers so far. I read "Dark Hunger", a novella in HOT BLOODED that also introduced me to Angela Knight. Then I read Dark Secret. I like Natalia's Character, she was a real warrior woman, and read Dark Demon. I am eagering waiting Dark Possession, which will be coming out this fall. Manolito De La Cruz had a minor role in Dark Demon as does Gabriele and Jubal Sanders who appeared in a novella "Dark Descent" in The Only One, which also contains a prequel novella called "The Star Queen" by Susan Grant. As I read Safe Harbor, I'll blog more about Christine Feehan.

Thing #2 : Pointers from Lifelong Learners

Thing #2: Pointers from Lifelong Learners


Wow I am always learning. My latest learning experiences are learning how to create a blog and I am also trying to be an Aqua Goddess. I like doing water aerobics so I also am hoping to become a water aerobics instructor. My problem is Life long Learning habit #4: I do not have confidence in myself as a competent effective learner. Sometimes I give up to easy. For example: I was up for hours trying to insert my avator. My technology god husband figures it out so easy and then my Tech god decides he can learn how to make a blog too. I am still struggling working on one while my tech god is already making a second one.

I also need to work on Life long Learning Habit #6: using technology to my advantage. I have a hard time using and teaching technology to others. My fellow LMT's do a lot more with their classes then I do. but I did teach netsmartz, ISAFE, and some email this year so I am getting better.

One lifelong learning habit I do well at is #3 I view problems as challenges. I never give up. As Mark Twain said " Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond. Califlower is only cabbage with a college education". I never give up in whatever I do even if it takes me longer than most people.

Thing #1: Library Learning 2.0

Thing #1: Library Learning 2.0
Our District Library and technology Director thought this would be a neat thing for all of us to do ( we have 7 k-5 LMTS, 3 6-8 LMTS, and 2 HS LMTS). She also hinted at a prize if we complete the 23 things. I love challenges. I will succeed!!! I read blogs that my favorite authors Pc Cast, Susan Grant, and Angela Knight have so now I can learn to make a blog too. PC Cast has several books in the Goddess Summoning series:
Goddess of the Sea, Goddess of the Spring, Goddess of Light, Goddess of the Rose, and now Goddess of Love. I guess if I could be a goddess I would be Althena/Minerva goddess of wisdom and war ( but I prefer wisdom over war) or Nike/Victoria (goddess of Victory), but since I love to read books I will be the goddess of books.

I loved making webpages in library school so I think enjoy this too,

My First Nations name is tsiblenti okwa "Carry the Sky Woman". I am Lenni-Lenape (Delaware), Scotch-Irish, French, and Russian descent. I am a rainbow, a metis, a mixed blood.I have lived in Canada, United States, and one year in Glenfarg, Scotland. I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching Biological Sciences and a Masters in Library and Information science. I love books and call myself a bookworm. Right now I just finished reading Goddess of Love by PC Cast and Master of Dragons by Angela Knight. I love paranormal novels.

I was a high school biology teacher and a 6th, 7th and 8th grade Math and Science teacher. For the past 9 years I have been a Library Media Teacher. i taught Middle school and now I am happy to be at the Elementary Level. I love storytelling and puppets. I also am a numbut. I can surf the net forever. if you don't know what a numbut is visit http://www.netsmartzkids.org/.
I am really excited with my blog.
