My recipe for feeling better quick: Fresh (homemade!) Italian bread right out of the oven, My first-ever experimental stew (that tasted a lot better than it looks–swear!), And, of course, a DP. You know, I firmly believe that if you listen closely enough, your body will tell you …
This Is What My Weekend Will Look Like
My immune system could only hold up against the onslaught of pathogens brought in by 150 middle-schoolers for so long. I am sick. I think it’s something like a cross between extreme hayfever and a touch of the flu, but I don’t really know for sure. What I do know is that teaching today while …
No More Trying To Be Superwoman: The Power of Focus
I have a 40-minute commute each way to my job at the middle school and so, to pass the time, I’ve been listening to audiobooks about how to become rich (since, as a schoolteacher, I’ve got such a great chance of that).

Youth Conference 2012
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finally get around to posting about youth conference, which was almost two weeks ago. I’m telling you, this new teaching job is kicking my trash . . . or at least stealing any semblance I had of free time. Since Matt and I are both involved …
Tuesday Tell-All
*See that hot mess of bananas and whipped cream and huge hunks of peanut butter cup? Doesn’t it look AMAZING? Well, it was. And yes, this is the second time I’ve cleaned the sink in a month. When you’ve gotta celebrate, you’ve gotta go to Angie’s. It’s the local rule. *Can I postulate a hypothesis …
