“Sometimes I wonder about my life. I live a small life, well, small but valuable. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven’t been brave?

October 13th, 2009 First of all, THANK YOU, for all of the sweet comments, reposting and re-Tweeting of my post about teaching. I appreciate that so many of you support the teachers you know and love. I don’t mean to pull an Oprah on y’all, but I would challenge you to remember YOUR favorite teacher and find a way to thank them. I have a box of cards and letters from kids I’ve October 12th, 2009 Warning: LONG POST. Make yourself a cup of tea or a sandwich, or better yet, A DRINK. I really try and keep my work life out of my blog, but this is more of a rant regarding my profession as a whole as opposed to my personal job. I had a particularly frustrating conversation recently, in which a person found out that “I have time off AGAIN” and stated that October 12th, 2009 Throughout the course of many of my friendships, I’ve often shared that my hair is a major source of STRUGGLE in my life. And by struggle, I mean TOTAL PAIN. I’m about to take you through a journey, a journey of hairstyles, friends, in order to gain your sympathies and also pacify many of the cries for MULLET SHOTS that I’ve had from friends. Without further adieu:
October 11th, 2009 A few years ago, I quasi-dated a guy who I’ll call J. J was a really nice guy, and really had his life together: a lawyer, owned a house and a dog and all that jazz. We hung out a few times and really hit it off, but then he dropped the whole, “It’s not you, it’s me” business and said, “I’m just not ready for something serious, and if October 9th, 2009 So, I try and keep the cat posts to a minimum on here, lest I be labeled a crazy cat lady OR lose Lexa’s friendship forever. Still, this is too good to not post. Meet Harry: I have a bazillion nicknames for my poor kitten, such as Moo, Cow Cat, Snausages, Mister Face, and most importantly, Roo. His full name is Harrison Roo. So, when I was browsing through October 9th, 2009 I am sadder than normal about this being Friday, since it means that one whole week of my vacation is OVER, but don’t worry—I still have a whole week to go. Here are a few of my favorite things this week: —Several of my Blathering friends have started a new style blog called Style Lush. It’s been fun to see the great content they’ve unrolled all week, and it’s definitely October 8th, 2009 I’ve already written about the silly reason I really, really love fall, but in all seriousness, it’s easily my favorite season. Fall isn’t necessarily the easiest season. While the trees light up in red and orange, there is also the death. Leaves fall to the ground, away from where they’ve lived so comfortably for the past seasons, happily attached and settled in their tree. The air grows heavy, crisp, chilly October 7th, 2009 The thing is, that sometimes? I’m pretty sure I’m a little bit crazy, or as my friend KK would say, I’m a little bit “cray cray.” Exhibit A: I really, really think that it would be amazing if someone figured out a toilet that could be in your car. Listen, I hate driving, and I really hate when trips take longer than necessary because I have to stop and pee, October 6th, 2009 My dearest LiLu tagged me in a little meme, and since I love her to pieces, than I figured I should DO IT, lest she come to California and hurt me. Four people I hope are eaten by a rabid pack of Velociraptors – a type of dinosaur that should not to be confused with chiropractors unless they also happen to have cannibalistic tendencies: Everyone who drives in front of |
