Last night we hosted an interesting little soiree. It was a going away/birthday party for one of the best friends I have ever had. I feel the need to emphasize this point by adding …in my life at the end of that sentence because Tammy is so very important in my life. She’s a fellow [...]
Many years ago when I was still teaching in the classroom I found my people. My people came to me. I didn’t have to go looking for them because tra-la-laaaa I am just that ridiculously lazy. For some reason, a bunch of young teachers and I all seemed to click together one year. We were [...]
When I look at my iPhone (yes, I say I have an iPhone because I waited 4 whole months to finally get that thing and visited it in the store several times just to say, “HI, LITTLE BABYCAKES. MOMMA’S GONNA BUY YOU SOON.”) I can see the first line of the latest text messages I [...]
Today is a day when people are celebrating TWLOHA which is a rather funny looking acronym for the real name of the movement: To Write Love On Her Arms. It’s dedicated to helping those who struggle with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. People who struggle with that need to know so many things not the [...]
I must admit: this is one of those times when I am in awe of what I have been able to do with a blog. At first, I read blogs in the hopes that I could learn something about the author and read with interest about their own anecdotes and stories. It took no time [...]
I am having some major issues with the blog today. Getting up early, leaving for another trip to Chicago, and setting a post to auto-publish is never my favorite thing, but I did it and hit the road and didn’t have another thought about it. Until very late in the day. So, sit tight. Things [...]
Before jumping in to my post about my very-much-needed weekend with my girlfriends, I pause here to celebrate the genius that is Tina Fey and 30 Rock: Jack (Head of Network): Let me ask you a question, Kenneth. If Mr. Bright here told you to vote Republican, would you do it? Kenneth (The NBC Page): [...]
When I was in college I met a lot of new people and connected with some I neither saw nor heard from for some time. Like when Bobby Soccer called me out of the blue and asked, “Are you the Kelly who went out with me in 4th grade?” and I snorted first because of [...]
I need new jeans and I hate jean shopping with the heat of a thousand suns from the movie Dune. God, if you were just a tad more literate you would know that was a book first. Movies are my books. Especially when there are subtitles. That doesn’t count. How are we friends again? The [...]
OMIGAWD #1 Mallory has had a friend she has known since Kindergarten with whom she is still very close and who lives two hours away from us. We moved away when Mallory was in third grade, but she and L (I didn’t get permission to use her name) still visit when L’s mom and sisters [...]
