Most asked question

When I got back from Florida, my students asked me this question, “Did you see an alligator?”  Not one student, not two students, but lots and lots of students. Answer: Yes.  I saw lots of alligators.  And they were boring, didn’t move, and looked fake.  And they were everywhere! We saw alligators at the Kennedy [...]

Jared’s Wedding

February 17, 2010

My baby cousin Jared got married!  That officially makes me the last one on that side of the family to be single.  I am also the only girl.  Weird.  I haven’t seen my cousins Jared, Jason, and my aunt Brenda, and uncle Mike for close to 9 years.  Pretty sad.  I’m glad that we were [...]

To My Hair

February 2, 2010

Fire in Stepford

February 1, 2010

Over Christmas, my mother and I started telling stories about me as a child.  I would tell what I remembered or my point of view and she would tell hers.  This story made us laugh and laugh and laugh.  It is also a very good example of my “Stepfordness.” When I was in the 2nd [...]
