Work for Free or Volunteer?
What job would you do for free? My first year as a teacher, I was enjoying it so much that I sometimes thought, and commented to people, that I’m actually getting paid to do this?! This is great! I briefly thought that I would even do it for free. 20 years later and I honestly… →

What’s in a Name?
If you could have something named after you, what would it be? Several things are running through my mind about this. Some of those thoughts are a school. I was an educator for so long. Maybe an award or a scholarship? My father-in-law was a very well respected and revered teacher at the other Catholic… →

Today, I’m taking the shallow route and saying I think one word that could describe me right now is ‘pretty’. This is, of course, subjective. However,… →

On the Road Again
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I would love to go on a cross-country trip! I have never been off the east coast and really feel like I’ve got a case of wanderlust coming on. Especially now that I am not restricted to two months in the summer for… →

For Your Viewing Pleasure
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? I am unapologetically a person who will watch the same movie every day. In previous posts I’ve talked a lot about the movies, “You’ve Got Mail”, “The Devil Wears Prada”, and “Julie & Julia”. “You’ve Got Mail” is the movie I watch nearly… →

My Inner Garfield
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Once again, this question sounds very familiar. But rather than analyze myself and see what animal I am most similar to, I think I’ll present my argument for why I want to be a cat. My argument is very simple and really only has one point…laziness.… →
