*I did it, people—survived my first day of student teaching with a smile on my face. Of course, I didn’t actually teach today (just observed and passed out papers and went to an IEP), but I’m excited for the semester ahead. I completely take over all my classes tomorrow, and I’m actually really stoked. The …
Book #1: Forge
Title: ForgeAuthor: Laurie Halse Anderson# of Pages: 280 What a great way to spend a holiday: snuggled up in bed this morning until ten o’clock finishing my first book of the year. And then drinking a banana-chocolate smoothie and watching Big Bang Theory. Could life get any better? I submit that it could not. Forge …
Marathon Training, Week Two
Joggers and dogs are not friends. Joggers and cars are also not friends. And that’s a mutual feeling on both sides, and we all know it: cars hate joggers, and joggers hate cars. Case in point: I almost got hit while crossing on a 4-way stop sign, and when I looked at the driver to …
Change It Up Report: A Clean Home
I don’t even know where to start with this report. I’ve been putting it off for so long because (let’s be honest) I was waiting for my house to be clean before I actually reported on how I’d done at cleaning it more often/better. It looks like that might not happen before the end of the …

Tuesday Tell-All
My brain has been feeling overloaded and soggy all week long, and I blame it on the lack of brain dump that is Tell-All Tuesday. So here you go. *For the first time since starting the marathon training, I don’t want to go running. I blame the fact that I’ve been sitting in a student …
Marathon Training, Week One
Have you ever run so far that you threw up? Me neither, but I sure came close today on mile 6 (I somehow knew that eating Denali mint fudge tracks ice cream minutes before we left was a bad idea). I’ve never been a runner. When I was in my early teens, I developed a sudden …
Photo Walk: Mini
On New Year’s Day, I took a short mini photo walk by myself while Matt and his brother played Magic cards. And you know what I realized? Somehow the photos are always better when Matt’s there with me. It’s probably because most of the ones I post are his 🙂 But regardless, I guess I’ll …
