I don’t know if that’s a good title. It sounds more like I have thoughts about summer, whether that’s the sweltering heat and humidity or just not being in school. Maybe about the fact that technically I’m in the summer of my life as I’m to old for spring and too young for fall. Oh … Continue reading
Reflections on Being a Student Again
I’m about halfway through (maybe a bit more) my online class and though it’s not the first class I’ve taken online, it’s definitely the most academic one since finishing my degrees. And I’ve learned some interesting things about myself. I am an overachiever. I was not when I was in high school, college, not even … Continue reading
Am I Supposed to be a Part of a Set?
(Warning: There will be mention of Christian beliefs in this post. If that at all bothers you, you have been forewarned and feel free to proceed as you see fit.) Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe … Continue reading
When Did My Summer Fill Up?
It’s been over two months since I posted last. For awhile I did well being weekly on posting, but then the last two months of school happened. Everything goes into hyperdrive and now that it’s over, maybe I can get back to this. Because the summer is chill time, right? What did I do to … Continue reading

No longer an actor
This past weekend was the spring musical at the school I teach at. This year it was Starlight Express (we did it on heelys instead of roller skates), and it was an undertaking. Also, strangely, the director needed a few more actors and put me into a role(s). I played Mum right at the beginning … Continue reading
So I Wanted To Post Today
And although I have six different post ideas in my drafts, all of them seem to require way too much introspection for me at this moment. I’m recovering from Spring musical weekend at the school I teach at, and although I went to bed so very early last night, I woke up at 1 am, … Continue reading
Writers’ Groups and You Should Have One (or be a part of one).
Is it writers group, or writer’s group, or writers’ group? Does anyone know? Just this past Tuesday, I closed a Facebook group by removing all those who were members, and then myself at the end. That’s how you delete a Facebook group if you wanted to know. This Facebook group represented a writers’ group I’d … Continue reading
