I did it!

I turned in my resignation! Whew! There are a couple of schools of thought on quitting one’s job. One group says, “do it! take a chance, rediscover yourself.” Another group says, “don’t quit ’til you have another job in place.” Well I don’t have anything else lined up – in THIS economy. Brave move if [...]

Summer’s Over

Host — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 19:32:56 +0000

Well not quite. Still have until September. But it’s over for teachers and students. I will say that’s this has been a nice long break. I didn’t do anything I didn’t want to do. I guess after spending the last school year doing just about everything that I didn’t want to do, I deserved that.

I’ll [...]

These Past Three Hours

Host — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:09:14 +0000

Today, I was busy trying to learn how to put a Joomla site together (whew, steep learning curve for me), and as usual, when I’m not ‘getting’ a thing right away, my mind tends to wander. So it wandered to insects and PETA, Barack Obama and my life. Hang in there, I’m about to explain.

It [...]

Resolution

My buddy is gone. I had to have her put down. She had wasted away to fur and bones. I will miss her. I do miss her. I miss the sound of her tags on her collar. Sometimes I imagine I still hear them. I miss her coming to me while I’m on the computer [...]

Sigh Grrrr!

One of those weeks. Looks like I pulled some caca outta my bag this time. One thing that makes me sad. Another thing that pizzes me off.

First the sad thing. My 14 year old dog is sick. That wasn’t supposed to happen. She’s always been a bundle of energy, nerve, and stubbornness. Now she’s just [...]

The Computer is My “Friend”

Host — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:24:07 +0000

Well, I do have real live human friends, but the computer is here at my beck and call 24/7. I never had it that good with any human. I have, however, been trying to reorder my days. So instead of falling out of bed heading straight to the computer half asleep, I do other things [...]

Between a Rock and a Crazy Place

Host — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:20:13 +0000

I’ve got to make a serious decision in the upcoming weeks. Do I, or do I NOT, return to the classroom? Just thinking about returning makes my teeth itch. {{{{shiver}}}} I have to make a living to pay bills, and there are no other jobs on the horizon. If I don’t make a living to [...]

I Think, I Dream, I Think, I Dream

My 2nd husband and I are divorced. The usual suspects were the cause: money, cheating, etc. I could go on and on about ‘how he done me wrong,’ but instead, I will talk about something he gave me – something good.

As his wife, I was able to stay at home for the first time in [...]
