A Speck of Honest Pirating

I stole this from Robin’s blog cause it looked fun.
The Rules: You highlight the things you can do and you leave in normal type the things you can’t.
Here I go:
1. Give advice that matters in one sentence.
2. Tell if someone is lying.
3. Take a photo.
4. Score a baseball game.
5. Name a book that matters.
6. Know [...]

Of Dragons and Dinosaurs

Hello all (six of you)!  I am still alive and kicking, although exhausted again.  But I think that’s pretty much a constant state at this point.  Plus I was sick again for a couple of days, which was awesome of course.  The school year is thisclose to being finished, which is fun, but a little [...]

Unexpected Highs

I took the day off from work yesterday since I was feeling so crappy, but I managed to make it in today (although I did go in an hour late so I could sleep a little more).  I felt pretty groggy and out of it all day and tried to take it easy, but I’m [...]

Life Is A Highway

And I definately want to ride it all night long, baby!  The problem is, my car is getting, how you say, old.  It’s not falling apart, but it’s getting to the point where every year it’s costing me more and more to keep everything in working order.  Last year it was the brakes ($750), this [...]

Mmmph

To all of you who were concerned after my last post – I’m still alive!  Supposedly our landlord took our address off of his craigslist add, so I’m hoping that people won’t be showing up randomly at my house anymore.  Thanks for all of the support and checking up on me you guys!  In other [...]

If I’m Dead Tomorrow, This Is Why

I’m kind of afraid right now.  I think it’s because absolute strangers are calling me and knocking on my door.  We’ve been looking for a third roommate for a while now, and our landlord offered to help us put up some ads online and in other places.  Well, I stumbled across one on craigslist the other day.  [...]

The Writings In The Door

Yesterday I spent some quality time at my alma mater, where a former bio professor was having a BBQ for graduating students and alumni of her classes.  Not a lot of alumni were there, but my old college roommate/best buddy flew in from Chicago to come and one of our other bio friends came too.  [...]

To My New Blogfriends

Since I met a lot of new people at TequilaCon and some are actually reading my blog now (woohoo!), I thought I’d take a second to fill new readers in on who I am and where I’m at in life.  And stuff.  So here’s things about me that I talk about alot or tend to [...]

Just So You Don’t Think I’m Always Bitter

After the last post, I figured I’d show the other side of my job that is actually pretty awesome.  I teach kids.  Little, little kids that you think aren’t capable of much.  Until you see them in action.  It was amazing to see a 3 year old girl show me the quantities of 1-5 and [...]

Kickin It Old School

My job is stressfull.  Perhaps not end of the world, push-the-red-button-and-we-all-die stressfull, but still it’s tough.  The other teachers that I work with are nice to my face, but pretty much everyone talks about everyone else behind their backs.  It’s uncomfortable.  It’s pretty much to the point where whenever you see two teachers talking together [...]
