Summer Lovin’

Posted by: dateacher on: June 16, 2009

Had me a blast….
Well, I was having a blast, and then I decided I wanted a new kitchen floor.  I think we do the strangest things for money.  I think I’ve done a strange thing for money…put myself into a stressful situation.  As if I didn’t already have enough on my plate this summer – [...]

The 80s

Posted by: dateacher on: May 27, 2009

So on this summer break so far I’ve had the TV on during some of my projects.  There’s really not much on “daytime” television.  I knew this because during the academic year I have Fridays off.
In the last couple years, I’ve tried hard to steer clear of  the morning news programs and the daytime talk [...]

Break Time

Posted by: dateacher on: May 26, 2009

For the first time in many, many years I have a summer break.  This week is the official start to this break since I spent a good portion of the first 2 weeks after my last day working for a local dentist in a temporary capacity or running all kinds of errands or having scheduled [...]

Summer Vacation

Posted by: dateacher on: May 21, 2009

Now that my stint as a temp dental assistant is over and I officially start my summer vacation, I have been thinking about summer vacations of the past.

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 [...]

Gimme a Break

Posted by: dateacher on: December 14, 2008

Well, life has slowed a bit for me.  Teaching at the community college has ended for the semester so until January 12 I am home daily.  This is a wonderful thing for me as I have so much I want to get done…and not just stuff around the house/yard but stuff that has to do [...]

It happens, sometimes it sucks, but we continue on anyway…

Posted by: dateacher on: September 24, 2008

…what is it?  It’s LIFE and right now mine has gotten a bit overwhelming.  I knew this would eventually happen – one week in my current adventure everything would happen at once and I’d get to the point of sheer chaos.  I believe I’ve reached that point.  Because of this I hope, if you’re out there [...]
