A Roman Love Story
Look, my husband will tell you that me and history don’t get along. He thinks that just because I was a teacher (and taught middle school social studies for several years) I should know more about history than I do. I really don’t know much because it doesn’t interest me like it does him. And… →

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… →

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… →

In fact, I’ve spent the past two years writing about that moment. So wihout rehashing that moment of emotional strength, let me… →

Zombieland Rule Applies
I feel like a question regarding simple joys has been asked before and I’m pretty sure I may have answered it. Regardless, my thoughts on the question are all focused on the fact that I am definitely a simple joys kind of person. I don’t need anything complicated to make me happy. The first few… →

For the First Time
Movie/music Monday What an interesting question today! And given that it’s Movie/music Monday in my little slice of the blogging world, I’m happy to ruminate on this. I actually have a few movies that I would like to experience again for the first time. I think answers to this question have to be movies that… →

A New Idea
“Something Good” Sunday This week there have been quite a few “something good”s. Work was still super slow which means that I got a lot done around the house. I have been sticking to my running routine of getting up early and running the 2-mile path around my neighborhood. I opted to make yesterday my… →

I Will Remember
Screenshot Saturday Today’s screenshot was saved on May 24, 2023. As I recall, I had just finished my first year of grad school and my last year as a teacher. It’s curious to me why I saved this. It’s possible that after a year of grad school I still wasn’t sure about wanting to become… →
