Better Than a Fortune Cookie

April 22, 2011

Last week my friend Alex sent me this giant time sucker of a website called That Can Be My Next Tweet and it sort of summed up all my thoughts from this past week when I didn’t have so much work to do and chronicled my life. It was pretty fun to play with it [...]

Now You Want To Make A Turkey Sound

April 20, 2011

This morning as I was perusing my feed reader (seriously, y’all, did you know that everyone uses the word ‘peruse’ wrong? Look it up.) I was reading this post by Afrobella which in turn linked Chookooloonks which originally linked it from Dooce. Whew. That was a lot of links for me this early in the [...]

The Cuban

March 31, 2011

Today is The Cuban’s birthday. He is teaching my great-niece to decorate her face with table decorations that read “Kelly”. These two are big trouble when they’re together. Plus, he’s a sucker for a pretty little girl. He’s 45 and I have no problem just putting that right out there since he was fine with [...]

Moving and Shaking

March 15, 2011

Things are moving around on this here blog, shifting this way and that. Please continue to be patient. My favorite thing is writing whether publicly or not so updating a few things took me longer than necessary.

Delurking is Delovely

January 14, 2011

Every year the National Delurker Day for bloggers always surprises me. So, in last minute fashion, here I am posting at 7 pm in the evening. In the past, delurkers have waved, said hello, asked a question, or just commented for the first time. If you’re new here, I have a ton of issues. For [...]

December 29, 2010

As the year winds down I have stopped to take a deep breath. It smells good in here. Is that you? No? Well, just wait a moment and I’ll tell you what does smell good. As per usual, I wanted to write a year end post and in doing so I have to recall all [...]

An Update Wouldn’t Kill Me

November 20, 2010

I took way more time off than I originally intended. I feel the need to apologize, especially for the three precious notecards I got in the mail and the silly amounts of Are You Okay? e-mails. There was also the great packages that arrived from Fluid Pudding and the Caffeinated Librarian with hand-sewn purple fingerless [...]

Under Construction

October 4, 2010

Hi! Welcome to this humble little website (if you’re new here) and welcome back (if you’re an old friend and regular reader). I’m Kelly and I write on a semi-regular basis for this blog. I write lots of education-related stuff and about issues of race and about my own adorable family. Right now, I’m working [...]

I Imagine She’ll Sing My Name Operatically

September 21, 2010

The telling of this story makes me a little bit giddy. Stay with me. Over the weekend I had the fantastic opportunity to be seated at a dinner next to a woman named Andrea. We’ve been Twitter friends for a while and we keep joking that we’ll have pancakes in Hyde Park where she currently [...]
