To Be Nervous, or Not To Be Nervous…

That is the question, people. Tomorrow I begin my first long-term subbing job. Will it be awesome? It will. Why?  Wait for it: It’s teaching AP English and Drama. Guys. *Snort* THEY’RE PAYING ME FOR THIS! I get to direct plays. And teach Shakespeare (along with other poetry, which can be amazing or terrifying, you

Baggie Ice Cream

**UPDATED TO GIVE BETTER MEASUREMENTS** (We tried it like the teacher gave it to us, and we all had a sugar/vanilla buzz. Go easier on sugar and vanilla (like it says in the new and improved directions below), and we’ll all be happy.)   Today I’m teaching science — all week, actually. And today, we’re

Wherein I Use Many Words to Say Few Things of Significance

Today is the last day to enter to win TELL ME WHO I AM. So get on over and enter, if you haven’t. Because WINNING IS FUN. Remember that? Also, New York. I am going. (Coming?) Soon. In a week I will be there. And I am excited more than I am nervous. Remember how I

Again. Again. Again.

Do you ever feel like your life is on repeat? Those same things, again and again? Like, for instance, we watched the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary concert again this Sunday afternoon. And, again, it felt a lot like THIS. Also this time, I wanted the guy who designed the lighting to come out and take

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Remember how I love the fact that I’m a stay-home kind of Mom? And that I have all manner of time to do whatever I feel like doing, such as baking things, and writing things, and planning things, and wrapping things, and writing some more things, and reading things, and napping and stuff? Remember? I

Gratitude Month, Day 20

Thank you notes. Really. I’ve been about three thousand percent[1] better than any other time in my life in the writing of the thank-yous this month, but still not getting it done every day. But if I could keep up the 2-a-week thing, I think it would change my life. At least a little. But

Gratitude Month, Day 10

Today I’m grateful for the people who agreed to beta-read my latest draft of THE FIFTH GIFT. I finished my last revision on it yesterday and sent it out yesterday. (*GULP*) I’m sure people of character wait at least 24 hours with something like that. Hm. I’ll have to ponder that whole character thing at

School is fun, too — I mean it.

I had so much fun teaching 7th and 8th grade yesterday that I almost wanted to do it full time. Even in the classes where kids looked at me with slack jaws and glazed-over eyeballs, it was fun to have a chance to explain something to people who were listening (mostly). We read an article
