So what happened to spring? Usually in Virginia we get to have a few weeks of sunny days with mild temps and a breeze here and there, oh – and the occasional rain shower.
Spring 2009 seems to have decided to not show her pretty face. Just this past week, Wednesday or Thursday, we had cool [...]

Well, it hasn’t been quite on year, but it is almost the end of the spring semester. What have I learned? What have my students learned?
I have learned that eventually you find what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. It may take 20 years, and it may be something you never expected you’d [...]

How will you celebrate Earth Day? Did you even know it was Earth Day? When did you first learn that April 22 was Earth Day.
Did you know that today is also Lenin’s birthday? Check out the link and see what you think about this “conincidence.”

This is what I’m dealing with today, and it’s one or the other. Could it be both? Could my allergies to pollen have weakened my immune system making it easier for the cold my husband had last week infect me? I bet so!
Don’t get me wrong after a finicky winter (cold, warm, hot, cold, warm, [...]

It’s that time of year – baseball season – did you think this was going to be a post about it being Tax Day?? (Hope not)
A week ago it was opening day and now the season is one week old. In that time, baseball has lost an up-and-coming pitcher, a former rookie of the year [...]

That is the question…and here is what I have come up with.
I’m currently going through a major house decluttering, and I am finding that hobbies cost a lot of money and cause a lot of clutter if not kept under control. My most recent hobby was scrapbooking – is scrapbooking – I can’t decide which [...]

Keeping in touch with people has never been easier. Technology has improved greatly over the last 134 years since Bell heard Watson pluck the reeds of his then primitive telephone. Now we have cell phones, email, instant messaging, MySpace, Facebook, not to mention the traditional telephone and postal service. With all these modern conveniences, one [...]

Well, it’s opening day for one sport close to my heart and closing day for another. It’s a pretty superb day when I get to watch my favorite baseball team play (even if they lose to the Baltimore Orioles) in the late afternoon, and then that same night I’m able to watch my favorite college [...]
Giving Up
Posted by: dateacher on: April 5, 2009
The title may confuse you. Recently I’ve been taking stock of my life. Kind of like doing an inventory of what is important. I also recently have had two confrontations that have made this action come under fire from other people. Why might you ask? Well, part of the inventory [...]
