Good questions!
So many good guesses!
This is amazing! Because of the time zone difference, while I was asleep, Wendy's class have sent many comments to this blog, with suggestions about who I am and where I live. Tanaz, you're right, my blue eyes come from a North European family. I was born only about ten kilometers from where I live today.Genie's aunt lives in Denver - but that's not eaxctly Europe (although many North Americans do have European ancestors). Jessie suggests the Netherlands, I can see you have been looking at the world map. But who said Denmark? That's right; and I live up north of the capital, Copenhagen Denmark I think Abdulaziz guessed my age - past fifty. And my gender - look at the photo; this IS me. And, I'm a teacher.
Actually this photo won an award The Lolas- in the category Funniest Live Online Learning Moment. In a way, I was not telling tre truth; a phone addict is someone who is addicted to the telephone and talking all the time, I'm not. I don't even have a cell phone.
But in this case, I was in a distance learning class where we used a telephone conference plus the computer - and I don't have a hands free phone. Sometimes you do silly things in the privacy of your office, where nobody can see you. I was so eager to test my brilliant invention for an annoying problem: wanting to have my hands free for the keyboard AND listening to the [virtual classroom] session [by telephone]. I was completely unaware of the irritating scratch noise it must have generated to all other participants [on the phone]. And, it was only when someone asked if they could see me that I thought of taking a snapshot and sharing it with the other participants, and it was only then that I realized how idiotic I looked with my feminine scarf invention :-) By the way, it worked perfectly. No stress and no telephone-tired arm!
OK, now over to you again- what more would you like to know; I need to prepare myself as I have a class today, as a student of entrepreneurship and innovation! And today's lecture is about Business account book keeping

Hi, Sus,
This is a great project that you, Wendy, and her students are doing! What a clever idea. Maybe I'll try something like this in the future.
Hi Mystery Guest. Thanks for all your work creating this project, replying to everyone's questions, and posting such interesting pictures.
Tomorrow, Monday, is our last class where the students can work on this project. On Wednesday we'll be going out to a restaurant to have lunch and say goodbye for now. It's too bad you can't hop on a plane to come and join us!
What I will do, is ask everyone to post their final questions and ideas about you tomorrow, and then look for your responses before they come to school on Wednesday, so we can discuss the project during lunch.
As for me, I'd really like to thank you for so many interesting and thought-provoking hints. By Wednesday "the truth will be out", and everyone will know who you are.
I'm hoping that we've helped to create some new "bloggers for life" who will keep on using their blogs, or maybe create new blogs for other purposes (in English, of course!)
