I will tell you up front that this is, in part, a smoke screen. I have been staring at the “new post” page for more than two days* and don’t know where to start. This happened last year too. So, I am posting this to entertain you while I come up with a clear thought.…
I am quite certain I will have a new set of first day thoughts to share, but in the meantime I will shamelessly re-post from last year. I feel like this captures the first day for me. Originally posted August 17, 2010… Amid the hurley-burley of the new school year each little Lovie shakes out their feathers,…
I am not making this up. The word of the day on my word-of-the-day app is, indeed, glabrous*. Not only do I love-love-love new words, but check out this word map… I am just fascinated by this. So fascianted, in fact, that I just may pull all of my hair out and become glabrous. Won’t…
Well my caped friends, it’s nigh time to prepare for the return of my dear little poodle-heads. I have a fizzy energy about what this year might hold, but seem to be avoiding the classroom-preparation tasks ahead of me. My goal today? I actually stop by my room. That’s enough for a day, yes?
It is the wee hours of the night (only 2 hours before I’m supposed to be awake), and I’ve settled on some formatting changes. I typically go for the black backgrounds, so other than asking me to change that, if you have feedback, please leave a comment! I have lost all sense of reality and…

I’ve met amazing teachers before (Lincoln Middle School–you rock for…

I was wrong. Flat out wrong. This doesn’t happen very often in my…
Yup. I just spent an hour making an avatar. I am in full procrastination mode and it stops now! Right after I…
I took the plunge. I started a Twitter account and linked it to Wear the Cape. I thank SDAWP* and the National Writing Project for lighting a fire under my hiney and making me rethink my stance on Twittering (that it was evil and nasty and good-for-nuthin’). You can follow me by clicking to the…
On one hand I am sad I didn’t reach my goal of twenty posts by the end of the school year. For that I apologize. For those of you that know me, you know I have suffered an unreasonable and unnecessary amount of guilt over this. On the other, much sweeter and exciting hand, TOMORROW IS THE…
