First REAL day of school

The morning started out pretty good. I actually felt after the first 2 classes that I could maybe do this for another year. Then, my 5th hour started. A class of 20 boys and 9 girls. That should tell you right there what the issue was. Boys with constant, stupid questions, just to be smart-alecs. […]

First Friday Post

Tonight was a favorite Friday night for me because I got to see two movies: The Time Traveler’s Wife and District 9. So I’ll now do my first movie reviews on this new blog. The Time Traveler’s Wife: This was a really good book. It’s been a while since I read it, but I think […]

Two for the money

Yeah, I don’t know what the title of this blog has to do with anything. Just thought it was cute. Got quite a bit done in my room today. Went to the doctor and finally we may be onto something. She thinks it is my sacroiliac joint that is the problem. If that’s the case […]

Day One

So, I feel it shows how dedicated I am to this because really right now, just home from work at the bookstore, I’d rather be up finishing the book I’m reading, which will in a day or two be my very first book review on here. I’ve got 4 books I’ve finished that I haven’t […]

Let’s get this party started

So, as you will soon find out, if there is anyone actually reading this, I am a big fan of movies, and it is actually a movie that got me back to blogging again, Julie and Julia. While I’m too scattered to do a themed blog like the main character did in that, it made […]
