Shuffle (#SOL17 9/31)

March 9, 2017April 8, 2017 Kristy L8 Comments

I was inspired by Darin Johnson's post yesterday about music.  So I hit "play" and "shuffle" on my music playlist and here is what came up: "Like My Daddy Did" by Vince Gill  (oh that voice--beautiful!) "Standchen" by Franz Schubert  (Relax and read) "El Salam" by Hakim  (Bellydancing music) "Payphone" by Maroon 5  (Fun to… Continue reading Shuffle (#SOL17 9/31)

Finding my Groove (#SOL17 3/31)

March 3, 2017March 4, 2017 Kristy L4 Comments

I am seriously struggling.  What to write about?  I don't know.  I have 28 drafts saved in WordPress, and countless lists of things to write about and half started ideas in Drive.  But here I am writing about not knowing what to write about. I can't write about something unless I'm really feeling it, you… Continue reading Finding my Groove (#SOL17 3/31)

Getting Started (#SOL17- 1/31)

March 1, 2017 Kristy L12 Comments

As this month stretches out before me, I'm just not sure I can do this.  I'm not sure I can write for 31 days straight.  Again. I've been struggling to write once a week for the past...well, forever, so how will I pull this off? Sheer determination, hopefully. March is a hard yet awesome month.… Continue reading Getting Started (#SOL17- 1/31)

Worst. Morning. Ever. 

September 17, 2016September 17, 2016 Kristy L1 Comment

This morning I woke up to the smell of dog poop. That's never good. 6:37 am. Wanda May had gotten out of bed, which I had sensed, and I had waited for her to scratch at the door. I heard her squirreling around, and then she came back to bed. Good. Back to sleep. But… Continue reading Worst. Morning. Ever.

Puppy Love (#SOL)

June 14, 2016June 14, 2016 Kristy L12 Comments

Last week I wrote about my goals for the summer, one of them being to find a puppy--well, we did!  So today let me tell you about the new addition to our family: Georgios Fitzgerald (I'll explain his name in a minute). I found this little guy on Petfinder last week, and then it was… Continue reading Puppy Love (#SOL)

Here I write #sol16 Day 27

March 27, 2016March 27, 2016 Kristy L7 Comments

Here, I write. At the breakfast table that doubles as a desk, a plate of french toast and a steaming mug of tea beside me.  Half of the table is covered in piled up activities for the 7+ hour train ride I will take tomorrow.  The other half clean, so we can actually eat on… Continue reading Here I write #sol16 Day 27

Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26

March 26, 2016March 26, 2016 Kristy L9 Comments

Since we don't have kids, my husband and I both have a spare room to ourselves.  His is full of dead animals and camo, while mine has two comfy reading chairs, book shelves, and a closet full of memories. Today I felt like remembering. When I opened the doors, I saw these: These are my… Continue reading Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26

Funny Question #sol16 Day 25

March 25, 2016 Kristy L11 Comments

As a teacher, especially in an English class where discussion and conversation are a daily thing, you never know what a high school student might say. Recently while I was wandering around to check on kids as they were working on presentations, I saw a hand go up on the other side of my room… Continue reading Funny Question #sol16 Day 25

National Puppy Day #sol16 Day 23

March 23, 2016March 23, 2016 Kristy L10 Comments

Today is National Puppy Day.  If you're a dog-lover like me, then you're loving the deluge of puppy pics on social media.  My Instagram feed is full of adorable dogs.  Yay! But today isn't just about celebrating your pups--although it's a good reason to--it's about spreading awareness about the importance of adopting dogs from reputable… Continue reading National Puppy Day #sol16 Day 23

Yellow Haze #sol16 Day 22

March 22, 2016March 22, 2016 Kristy L7 Comments

My dog looks like he's been snorting coke. Yellow Coke. Don't worry, he hasn't. But he has been sniffing the ground and inadvertently sucking up the yellow pollen that currently covers everything. Literally everything. Today when I walked out of school I thought it seemed hazy. But it's not hazy. There is just a pollen… Continue reading Yellow Haze #sol16 Day 22
