There goes the fear again…

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve probably seen my tweets/Facebook posts about the fact that I found out on Monday that it’s likely I won’t have a job next year.  On Friday, when they announced pink slips, I assumed I’d be getting the one I got last year, known as a precautionary notice.  Instead, [...]

Off to a good start…

Monday, March 15th, 2010

So, I am on Spring Break and let me just say that I’m setting this to auto-post because I am most definitely sleeping in to an hour that seems completely unreasonable to anyone with any sort of job, except I’m not going to apologize for it, because my alarm has most definitely been going off [...]

The good, the bad and the ugly…{part 3, I think!}

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The Good:

It’s Friday.  And it’s Friday before spring break, meaning I am off until March 29.  This break is much needed, I assure you.
Tomorrow, I’m headed to San Francisco to see some of my favorite blog friends, and to meet a few more of the ladies I adore online!  I can’t wait to meet them [...]

Food for thought…

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

So, I posted a story of an experience I had at the gas station on Tuesday morning.  For the sake of brevity, the story is this: I went in to get coffee, and on my way out, a man who I am presuming is homeless offered me some of his Red Bull, a piece of [...]

Things that changed her life…{part 4}

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

There are some moments that change your game, your view, your life.  They start out normally, but well, they never quite end that way, do they?  This is one of mine.
The past year and a half had crushed me.  In a span of twelve months, I watched as everything came crashing down: my marriage, [...]

Unreal

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Last week, my love Andrea blogged about someone she called the Unreal Woman.  She wrote that, “To me, she is perfect, despite whatever flaws she might have that I’m not yet familiar with.  She’s The Woman That I Intend to Become, when I grow up.”
Tell me that Andrea and I aren’t the only two [...]

10 Things I Know Are True

Monday, March 1st, 2010

{ via }

Nothing you do before high school really matters. I can think of few things I did or accomplished before high school that have impacted my life deeply.  I see my students freaking out over grades and boys and choices and I want to remind them to slow down, to make good choices, to [...]
