new-book-tuesday

If you don’t follow my Good Reads page, you probably have guessed over the last few months that I am, in fact, a book nerd. I adore books in all forms and most of my Amazon Wish List is dedicated to keeping track of the new book releases. I was totally overjoyed yesterday to [...]

I’m not even supposed to be here today!

im-not-even-supposed-to-be-here-today

I’m writing this blog post on my phone in my car eating Taco Bell for lunch. It’s been the sort of day that hasn’t been terrible, but things haven’t gone as I planned in my calendar. It’s not tragic, but annoying, like a really shallow paper cut.
How do you deal with one part of [...]

If it was possible, I would also add a sub heading to this entry that says something like, “And am completely stupid.”
This week, my lovely friend Juliana announced on Twitter she was taking music lessons near my house. Somehow, Juliana always knows what’s been going on in my brain. I think that’s why she’s [...]

I took the GRE this morning and pending some sort of doom on the writing section, I should be on my merry way to an MA and my first baby. How exciting.
After the test, I found myself in some sort of strange fog, I lost my parking money, finding it in the pocket of [...]

Computer Maintenance After Midnight

Monday, January 18th, 2010

If you follow my Twitter you’ll soon figure out that my days begin and end freakishly early since I teach school. Since today is Martin Luther King Day and there’s no school, I decided to stay up and do some work on my computer.
Last month, my beloved 15-inch Macbook Pro, “Boyfriend” started having kernel panics [...]

Facebook and (In)fidelity

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

When I play World of Warcraft, and I’m on a long flightpath, I read the “shared” articles in my Google reader feed and read some really crazy stories. The one that’s really been bothering me is a Telegraph story
about how one in five divorces in the UK cite Facebook as the reason for their divorce. [...]

lessons-learned-in-2009-breaking-ties

One of the main themes in my life for 2009 was learning to break ties with people. When relationships cease to be functional, healthy and happy, sometimes they need to be over. I can think of  several relationships that ended this year that I frankly, obsessed over until they were finished.
With both of those relationships, [...]

I read entirely too much to be able review each one, so here’s a list and the ones that I put in bold are the ones that I really liked. Also, these are the ones that I remembered reading, when I search  my shelves at home I’ll add more.

Girl Talk Thursday: Work sucks!

I love, love my job. Being a teacher is the best job on EARTH and I feel sorry for the people who aren’t teachers. However, there is one thing that I absolutely hate about being a teacher – everyone thinks that they can be a teacher.  Right now, with the bad economy, I get emails [...]

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I HAVE A WEDDING DRESS!!! Okay, sorry for the capslock action, but I am seriously excited about my wedding dress. It’s ivory, has a little bolero jacket and POCKETS. Now, I can tote around my iPhone, which honestly, was a worry of mine. Seriously.
Where did I find the dress of my dreams? La Raine’s Bridal in [...]
