30 Day Meme: Day 22 - Something that upsets you
The one thing that makes me more upset than anything is for someone to treat badly someone I care about. I held a grudge for nearly 8 years against Kelly for something he did to Chris during their first few months as a couple...well, that started the grudge, he just kept adding to the list of reasons to hold on to it. It especially bothers me if ( Read more... ) -
30 Day Meme: Day 18--Your Favorite Birthday
My favorite birthday would probably be my 40th. Turning 40 didn’t bother me at all. I had just moved back to Bowling Green the previous summer and was looking forward to spending more time in Nashville again. I was teaching as my primary occupation again, even if it was part-time at two places. I had money in the bank. Life was good. 40 was no big ( Read more... ) -
Since Becky asked...Invisible Writing
I mentioned an "Invisible Writing" exercise I'm trying in class in my 30 day meme yesterday. It is a free writing exercise I found in a textbook I was reviewing for possible use. Another way to get away from the "fix as you go" syndrome.

30 Day Meme: Day 14--What You Wore Today
Woke up in a pair of charcoal gray sleep shorts. Went casual for the first time this semester in dark rinse jeans and a purple retro polo and my casual sandals. Didn't change after work since I got home late and was already relatively comfortable. After a nice relaxing bath, I'm back in the gray sleep shorts grading papers.

30 Day Meme: Day 12--What's in Your Bag?
Well, my teaching bag is bursting at the seams, as I took up approximately 120 one diagnostic page essays over the last two days. In addition, I have a gradebook, assorted pens and white board markers, some index cards for a future writing exercise and a white board eraser left over from summer school.

30 Day Meme: Day 10--What You Wore Today
I started the day in a pair of tan jersey sleep shorts. For church, I wore one of my favorite blue dress shirts, a pair of slim fit black and gray pinstriped pants, and black lace ups. After church, I changed into a pair of khaki shorts and a tshirt with an fake Irish pub slogan, "O'Blurry's--Go home with a 10, wake up with a 2" encircling a ( Read more... ) -
30 Day Meme: Day Five--Your Definition of Love
I'm convinced that this prompt is payback for all those "Define a concept" papers I have made my students do over the years.
Love is all about the little moments in life. The ones that may not seem to matter to anyone else but the two of you. Brad Paisley says it better than I could, so here ya go...
