I’ve missed this

March 1, 2020 Kristy L12 Comments

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

May 30, 2017October 20, 2017 Kristy L4 Comments

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

April 18, 2017April 18, 2017 Kristy L6 Comments

Today has been a struggle.  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

April 4, 2017October 20, 2017 Kristy L8 Comments

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)

March 31, 2017April 8, 2017 Kristy L8 Comments

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)

March 29, 2017April 8, 2017 Kristy L1 Comment

This morning on my way to ride with my friends, "I Believe in Love" by Don Williams came on.  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)

What a Weekend (#sol17 26/31)

March 26, 2017April 8, 2017 Kristy L5 Comments

Well y'all, we have had an incredible weekend in Lexington.  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)

The Remuda: A haiku (#sol17)

March 25, 2017April 8, 2017 Kristy L3 Comments

It's the Remuda: horses in all directions; I am in Heaven. As you may or may not know, I am at Road to the Horse in Lexington, Kentucky. On opening day, they run twelve mostly untouched colts into the arena who have journeyed from the 6666 Ranch in Texas. The horses run around to much… Continue reading The Remuda: A haiku (#sol17)

Shetland, My Love (#sol17 22/31)

Yesterday I shared some pictures and highlights from my last trip to Scotland.  Today, I want to share some photos from the Shetland Islands.  It is truly a GORGEOUS place, and if you're taking a trip to Scotland, you might as well go all the way! Brace yourself for a LOT of pictures. You can… Continue reading Shetland, My Love (#sol17 22/31)
