Vehicles, Tattoos, and Pets
An unlimited budget, huh? This is kind of like those questions about what you would do if you won the lottery. These answers have to be a little more creative since there’s only 24 hours. Can’t get contractors and repair men out to make all the renovations and upgrades to our house that are needed… →

It Was Perfect, Come Fight Me
This is going to be a controversial opinion…perhaps unpopular. My former secretary will absolutely disagree with my answer, but…let’s talk about the Stranger Things finale. *Spoilers ahead, so don’t read if you’re late to the Stranger Things bandwagon and haven’t watched the last season yet. My secretary was too in the weeds with the details,… →

Thoughts on Life
Picking a philosopher to have dinner with is assuming I know any philosophers and what they taught. Google gave me a handy list of the most famous philosophers to help me choose. They broke the list down into categories such as ancient and classical philosophy, Eastern philosophy, Rationalism and Empiricism, and ethics and the Enlightenment.… →

Healing Stone
Talk About it Tuesday I succumbed to an ad on Facebook. There’s a crystal shop that does a thing where you can order a number of scoops. Whatever number you order, there’s a video of the owner taking that number of scoops of marbles from a bowl. The color of the marble corresponds to a… →

Satisfied (Not Never Though)
“Something Good” Sunday As promised, my “something good” for this week is all about… Last night was wonderful! Dinner at a restaurant on the 11th floor of a building was interesting. We sat inside because the weather was sketchy, but the meal, though the descriptions (and prices) were fancy…the food didn’t live up to the… →

Make it Weird
Screenshot Saturday I have a funny one for you all today. This was saved in December of 2023 when I was desperately trying to hang on to humor and anything good during the year of being a principal. Want to help me accomplish my dream of being a paid writer? Buy me a coffee! Follow… →

A Night at the Theater
Flashback Friday Today I’m flashing back to June of 2021 when I took this picture: And this screenshot: “Hamilton” had come to Disney+ the summer before and in 2021, I was still obsessed with it. I took the couch picture with “Hamilton” on the tv in the background to send to a fellow teacher who… →

F*** the Stigma
Thoughts on Mental Health Thursday Every week on my social media accounts, I post something about how I know the stigma around mental health issues is bs. I always start the post saying it’s bs and I end by saying “f*** the stigma”. And I truly mean that. So far I’ve posted videos about how… →
