5:30 AM, Haiku, Photos, and a Sunrise

June 28, 2010

Last night I didn’t sleep. No really. I never fell asleep. Finally around 4:30 I got up and started writing. As I was writing, I noticed the sun coming up and my room getting lighter and lighter. I thought I would go and watch the sun rise, while I wrote outside. I wrote a whole [...]

Nightmare on Riverton Chase Drive

June 23, 2010

Let me start by saying that I do NOT like scary movies. I had nightmares for weeks when I saw the Sixth Sense – and that isn’t really that scary. I blame it all on my overactive imagination. That said …. My roommate has been gone for almost two weeks. She has been basking in [...]

June 18, 2010

The Path of the Pioneers

June 6, 2010

Did you know that Casper, Wyoming is the breaking off point for all the pioneer trails? Honestly, I didn’t either until I went there last week.

Looking Out

June 2, 2010

Yesterday, I drove home from Casper, Wyoming, where I had done a teaching interview at a middle school there. The interview went well. I could tell they were impressed by my experience and knowledge when it came to teaching reading. They had a few concerns about my endorsements, certification and licensing in the state of [...]

The Stepford Child

I am a child of Stepford, or so my mother told me while I was growing up. I don't like change, I follow rules, and I like routine. However . . . I can't seem to keep my bed made, laundry folded, or wake up on time. While some parts of me are Stepfordy, other parts aren't. To read more about me, click here.
