The Jungle That Is Jr. High

August 25, 2010

Do you remember junior high? It isn’t looked upon kindly by most adults because they hold memories for us that include hair growing from new places, squeaky voices, and a face full of zits. It’s Nature’s Cruel Joke to have our bodies change at the same time young brains are switching over to maturity and [...]

I’m Here to Learn

August 20, 2010

It’s not like me to shy away from controversy so every night this past week I have had a discussion with my family about Park 51. There have been points made and arguments discussed. I could link to them, but I won’t. But I’m reading a lot. It’s already all been said so far. Today, [...]

New York Stories

August 18, 2010

Much as I’d love to exercise my option of not writing a post-BlogHer wrap up, I can’t help but tell you how I became a raging lunatic within 15 minutes of landing in New York. Don’t worry. It subsided just as quickly. But then I read this on Gawker and I had second thoughts. Then [...]

How a Lemon Pie Saved Our Lives

August 11, 2010

There are two things that you should know about me. One, I have an incredible sweet tooth. It’s detrimental to my health and hips but I struggle through and have learned to appreciate my curves. My dentist isn’t so happy. Two, I have a sensitive nose and can smell really well. That second one didn’t [...]

Lest You Think I Have Nothing To Say

July 29, 2010

Sure, I just posted a little contest I’m running, but lest you believe that I was going to skip posting on this here blog I am here to prove you wrong. It is an annoying fact about me but since I come by it honestly as the bratty middle child I think it is somehow [...]

Read This, Skip That

April 22, 2010

Read This: Not to be all bad-blogger-y on you, but I really have been responding via email to comments. They’ve been incredible on the post about what parents want from schools and several teacher friends of mine have commented that they’re still lurking to read what parents are writing. Skip That: There is a parent [...]

Help Me Define “Parent Involvement”

April 13, 2010

Would you look at that? I spent a week doing other stuff and completely ignored my blog. I should be punished with some hot fudge drizzled over a brownie, shouldn’t I? Yes, please. Someone do that. Put some Nutella on it as well. It’s a safe bet that I’m hungry right now and I’m also [...]

I’ve Been Waiting For This Question For a Long Time

March 12, 2010

It wasn’t a question I anticipated. In truth, I don’t suppose that I’d ever really hear it. The emphasis being on the word “I”. I never thought that I, Kelly, would ever hear this question. Not because it’s a stupid question and yes, there are stupid questions. There are also ignorant questions. There are ridiculous [...]

Screw You, Dodge.

February 11, 2010

I was waiting for this. Not really all that safe for work. You know, the work that the men in the Dodge commercial were sooooo upset about going to for fear that they’d be, like, responsible or something.

2009: It’s Been A Whole Year, Has It?

December 31, 2009

The best part about writing a blog is that it’s a time capsule for your life. A narcissistic time capsule, yes, but something that marks your growth and change nonetheless. Actually, I still think that Jay has the best tagline for a blog because it sums it up so very well: “Blogging is just masturbating [...]
