I love house plants. I'm one of those crazy people with about 30 house plants and an eye out for more. I have a sweatshirt that says "Crazy Plant Lady" and it's totally accurate. I can barely walk in a store that sells house plants and not buy one. It's almost physically impossible. I keep… Continue reading Plant Love

Funny Emails
I wrote this post in 2017, but never posted it for some reason. The best part? This college sophomore still emails me every couple of months to keep me updated on her life. I LOVE it. 🙂 So this year I have a little group of kiddos who dislike their advisory classes and/or hate eating… Continue reading Funny Emails
I’ve missed this
It is March 1st. The first day of the month. The first day of the Slice of Life Challenge. According to my blog, I haven't done the SOL Challenge since 2017. That makes me sad. I thought it had only been a year or so, but it's been THREE! I haven't stretched my writing muscles… Continue reading I’ve missed this
The Disappointing Princess
What little girl doesn't love princesses? When I was little, I resented the fact that I wasn't born one or two hundred years earlier so I could live in a luxurious castle and wear giant frocks. (Granted, I didn't realize that I would have had to wear a corset, potty in an outhouse, brush my… Continue reading The Disappointing Princess
Overload
Today has been a struggle. Â I have waaaaay too many things in my brain. Here's what is going through my brain: What should we do about summer reading? What books should juniors have to read? What should the assessment look like? How do I want to change English 11 next year? The options are endless.… Continue reading Overload
Warning
Today while doing the dishes I overheard a commercial for some kind of prescription medication. As usual, following the glowing qualities of this miracle cure, the announcer began listing the many dangers, and it began with "Do not take ___ if you are allergic to it." Well....duh. I've noticed this warning lately. Don't take it… Continue reading Warning
Last Write (#sol17 31/31)
We made it to day 31. Wow. And it was actually much easier to accomplish this year, I think. How has this month shaped me as a writer, you ask? Let's see... I'm way more aware. I find inspiration everywhere: in commercials, statements made by my students / friends/ etc, songs, other slices, books… Continue reading Last Write (#sol17 31/31)
I Believe (#sol17 29/31)
This morning on my way to ride with my friends, "I Believe in Love" by Don Williams came on. Â I'm only 34 but I'm an old soul, and I love me some Don Williams. As I listened to the words, I found there were many things he and I agree on. These are my favorite… Continue reading I Believe (#sol17 29/31)
Happy Sigh (#sol17 28/31)
This is my view.
What a Weekend (#sol17 26/31)
Well y'all, we have had an incredible weekend in Lexington. Â We've eaten delicious food and watched spectacular horsewoman accomplish some amazing feats. I'm just going to recap the highlights. The food. This year we did it right by choosing some awesome restaurants. On Thursday we ate at Pepe's. It wasn't special, just a Mexican restaurant,… Continue reading What a Weekend (#sol17 26/31)
