What do you do?, play edition
Posted by: dateacher on: March 25, 2009
We work hard, and hopefully we play just as hard.
I’ve discussed before my obsession with sports. However, my participation in such sports was limited due to asthma and allergies. My coordination also played a factor. I did play hard when I played though. There were backyard whiffle ball tournaments and driveway basketball games in my [...]
What do you do?, work edition
Posted by: dateacher on: March 24, 2009
In social settings we get asked this question from people we are just meeting. So when they ask it we automatically assume they want to know what we do for the job that pays the bills.
So, what do you do?
I’ve had many jobs in my life – from my teenage years to now (age 40) [...]

Most people have a particular type of music they prefer. I happen to be one of those people who likes to listen to a variety of styles of music. While I prefer country and 80s, I must say that you could put almost anything in my CD player or on my iPod and I’d jam [...]

Movies – I love movies too. I prefer to watch them on the big screen but it can be expensive. Also – I tend to watch movies over and over, so if I really like a movie, I’ll purchase the DVD. So far I have a pretty extensive collection of DVDs – not like some [...]

Well, the first round is finished and so is my bracket. I only went 16-0 in the West Region of my bracket. Those 5-12 and 4-13 match ups on Friday literally killed my bracket. Cinderella has joined the party and in at least the Midwest Region she may be around a while. That region has [...]

Continuing the theme…
I probably am not much of a reader since I’m a very visual person. I’m not an artist by any stretch of the imagination but I prefer to view things over reading about them. I’d much rather go to an art gallery than read about the paintings in a book. Pictures speak to [...]
What do you read?
Posted by: dateacher on: March 20, 2009
I’m not much of a reader. I chalk it up to the fact that during my formative years I was given lists of books during the summer that had 2 parts – a list of required reading and a suggested list from which to choose 2 or 3 to read. Being forced to read during [...]

How many of you enjoy sports? How many of you are fanatics? How many of you go MAD for March?
I love – love – love sports. I have friends who tell me I am the perfect wife because I do not mind watching sports with my husband, but I’m not such a fan [...]
Learning something new
Posted by: dateacher on: March 18, 2009
I love when I can say that I learned something new today. It makes me feel productive and renewed when I learn new things. So far this week – I’ve learned that I can work with what I have an not have to spend money on new things to make my house mine.
My guest room [...]

St. Patrick’s Day….a Patron Saint of Ireland…ever wonder why we wear green and pinch those who don’t?
I have often wondered this for 2 reasons: 1) I’m of Irish descent and 2) blue is the colour associated with St. Patrick – but green is the colour associated with the country of which he is a patron [...]
