Over the past few months I’ve really started to enjoy writing in my blog. Every time I think of something I’d like to write about I make a mental note and add it to a list of potential titles that I keep for when I need a little inspiration. I always think of the FUNNIEST things to write about when I’m away from my computer and have always forgotten them by the time I get home. *sigh* The Hubster has been great at helping me come up with things to write about. I guess you could call him my creative adviser. :) He helps me write / remember details of…

This may sound odd to some of you, but I have some bus driver buddies. I have always been polite to bus drivers / transit workers, but after living in the city, there weren’t really opportunities to chat with drivers as a) the buses were so packed that it wasn’t possible, b) the drivers simply weren’t very pleasant, or c) because transit was wonnnnnderful in the city, you were rarely on one bus for very long before switching or reaching your destination. Now that I’m in my sleepy little Senior’s City where the buses only run every 40 minutes and you see the same bus driver every day, we’ve become…

I found this on Anonymous’ blog and decided to borrow it. I’m finding all sorts of interesting things from other people this week!! Please read & leave your response in a comment and I promise you… if you ask me to write about something (within limits, obviously) I will be as open as I can about it, without divulging too many personal details (ie–names, cities, etc etc). Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don’t blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don’t blog about, but you’d like to hear about, and I’ll write a post about it. Ask for…

As I sit here this morning eating my peanut butter toast trying to be as quiet as possible as the Hubster is still sleeping (I’m letting him sleep in today… he’s earned it) I decided to borrow Veggie Carrie‘s little survey! So, without further ado… Four jobs I’ve had:1) I am an assistant coordinator for a tutoring program at my university2) Literacy teacher3) Retail (Payless Shoes)4) Office Assistant for an insurance company B) Four films that I can watch again and again:1) Most musicals (The Music Man, Sound of Music Oklahoma, State Fair, My Fair Lady, The King and I, etc etc etc)2) Sleepless in Seattle3) White Christmas4) You’ve Got…

I have a secret. And I’m going to share. Yesterday was a really great day. I had my favourite class (Modern German History) with my most favourite prof in the entire world, and we discussed Maus I & II. If you are interested in studying the Holocaust, I highly recommend reading these texts. They are graphic novels that tell an extremely powerful story of an Auschwitz survivor and the rocky relationship between a father and son as a result. They moved me so much that I actually had to stop reading at two specific points and walk away for a bit. Also, the Hubster’s parents came up for the afternoon!…
