Huhhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh


In case you didn't guess, that huhuh...is me panting in my haste to finish up before 4/7. I didn't know how to make a panting sound using letters so just go along with me, okay?

Am I curious? Are nosy and curious the same thing? Then yes! I was the kid who stealthily unwrapped all the xmas gifts to see what I was getting then carefully replaced the wrapping so the gig wasn't up. I remember when my parents wised up and hid the prezies in the car trunk. I managed to sneak the keys too. I used to read the end of books when only a few chapters in because I needed the answers and outcomes right away. Once I tried walking across a frozen pond because I wasn't convinced it was unsafe. Good thing the water only went up to my neck.

I love trying new things but often am too impatient to read the instructions. I dive right in though the results aren't always stellar. Projectplay elicited a sense of childhood excitement. I couldn't wait to try and explore everything thrown our way. Wow! It's overwhelming, exhilirating and terrific fun. Currently I'm moderating an online librarians eco-course through the U.W. and during the programming week, I'm asking the participants how they think using web 2.0 could further our mission as environmental activists. It's nice to know some of the vehicles and to actually know the term web 2.0.

Projectplay is one of the best learning experiences I've had in some time. Thanks for releasing my pent-up inner child and for connecting us to the "curiosity" video. And here all this time I thought my parents were right when, annoyed with my curiosity, they said one day I'd cut off my nose to spite my face. Nose and curiosity are still intact. I'm ready for my close-up, Pinocchio!

LOL...I thought it was a really long confused "Huh?" but I get it now :-)

I'm so excited that you're using what you've learned in your eco-course. You're spreading the word...woohoo!

Thanks to you, too, for your interesting and funny posts. I've enjoyed reading your blog, and I'm glad PP has been helpful for you!
