- Resolutions 2012– also posted in Books
Yes, it is true, Organized nonsense does not get enough attention, and I am the first to admit this. I love this little blog, but all of the picture taking, uploading to my computer and Flickr, editing, and everything else made every update very time consuming. Good News! My Christmas present to myself was to [...]

- Popping power– also posted in Food, Math, Photos
I always forget how much I love popcorn and my wonderful popcorn maker, but then I get the stir crazy out for a batch and I am very quickly reminded. The roommate tends to give me grief for my popcorn maker, since it is slightly bulky and one of the only unitaskers in our kitchen. [...]

- RIP Summer
I am such a slacker. With summer coming to an end, I was trying to savor the last drops. Something had to be neglected, it turned out to be my blog. There are approximately 3 recipes waiting in the wings. Teacher pre-service week started last week, and school officially started yesterday. When you have to [...]

- One Year Down!– also posted in Photos
My first year of teaching has officially been survived! It was an interesting year to say the least. I will miss my students and I will certainly remember them forever. My situation this year was tough, but looking back, it really was a blessing. Teaching part time really gave me time to focus on my [...]

- Pi Day!– also posted in Food, Math, Photos, Recipes
Happy Pi day! When march 14th rolls around, you can always tell just how much of a math geek you are by how many dishes that day are pie-like. Dinner tonight was a pizza pie and desert will be a lemon meringue pie. I already consider myself to be a math geek, and am completely [...]

- Done!…I Mean, I’m Back…Ummm– also posted in Food, Photos
Over the past 3-ish months I have been acting as a long term substitute for a teacher who was out having surgery. Life has been busy to say the least. It was a definite change from my usual schedule (what I was hired to do by the school). Planning for a grading papers for 6 [...]

- Inspiration– also posted in Food, Math, Photos
Last Friday was quite a day. Extremely discouraging day at school. One of those times when students walk out of class, won’t stop talking, refuse to do anything useful in class or let anyone else do anything productive, and half of the class is forced to stay after class 10 minutes into lunch to get [...]

- Some days you can just never figure out– also posted in Math
The funniest thing happened today. I love my students. They are extremely crazy and unruly, and most of the time they drive me absolutely up the wall, but they have so much character and they sure know how to throw me a curveball now and then. As our warm up activity I gave the students [...]

- Stupid Questions vs. Stupid People– also posted in Photos
I have officially decided that I do not believe in the saying that there are no stupid questions. There are stupid questions and my students ask me every single one of them… every single day.

- What parents really need to hear.– also posted in Video
After teaching in a county where the kids are a little too protected from the way things work in the real world, to say the least, this is a little refreshing to hear. It was recorded on an answering machine at Maroochydore High School in Queensland, Australia, unfortunately it was never actually played. This all [...]
