It’s Saturday and normally there are a thousand things to try and get finished before Monday morning smacks me in the face but there is an unimaginable amount of paperwork that I’m going through right now for something that I want to talk about and am not going to talk about just yet. But that’s [...]
How can anyone who hasn’t seen the sun in days stop themselves from feeling blue? Or gray? Or from hurting the nearest kitten that comes close to their yard? I do not know. But it has made me Super Cranky which is like Super Superior but angrier and with clenched fists. It’s making me engage [...]
SUPER RE-TARDO Growing up, we weren’t allowed to say the word “retard” or even “shut up”. Repressive Catholic parenting did that to me but we also never talked about sex and we all know where that lead. In any case, the other day I was at the store and these two brothers were fighting and [...]
If I were a dog I would be running in a circle, chewing my own tail, and then looking around the room for a chew toy. This is just the way today is going. Scoring a tranquilizer or going on a kennel run should be high on my priority list. What does that make me? [...]
So, how’s the NaBloPoMo going? Is your MoJo still going? I’ll tell you what. When Mrs. Kennedy came up with this brainchild I was excited and I’m so happy to see some folks doing it along with me. I find my writing tends to speak more toward the ‘audience’ than normal. Remember the other day [...]
You know how you get that itch, that desire to have a dog? And it’s always the same thing. It starts with seeing a puppy somewhere and telling yourself that no one in the whole wide world will ever love that puppy as much as you will love that puppy. This never happens in those [...]
NPR called. I have just always wanted to say something like that. As if they had my personal number and just picked up the phone to chit-chat over some Fair Trade vanilla coffee and a chocolate chip biscotti and tell me that they wanted to interview me. It doesn’t really happen that way, but you [...]
I’m not here today. Don’t mind me. I’m just stopping in to tell you that I’m elsewhere. First, I’m here at ConnectEd. And it wasn’t just today. But a while ago I was interviewed about education and spoke to the writer of this article. Even though it was published back in June (waayyyy back in [...]
Think of these as snippets from my brain. This is also known as The Lazy Way Out. Yes, I realize it’s the most wonderful time of the year for some folks. What I’m saying is that some parents are more than a little excited to be sending their cherubs back to school in my care. [...]
Just some snippets of conversations from the last few days… … “Thanks for taking my pictures for me. I like the ones you have of you in this frame.” “Ahh, yes. Well, it’s because I look much better in larger pixels. In person I’m kind of hideous.” … “I’m going to lunch with a friend, [...]
