Thoughts on Death

09/28/2005

Death seems to be the topic of the day. A coworker said that today is the 17th anniversary of the day his mother died. He was busy bringing his kids to school and went to wake her up and she was naked, sprawled out on the floor in her room, no breath left in her. Read More

Portfolio Work In Progress

09/25/2005

Well, I’ve been looking at finally adding to the portfolio link of my website. Goodness knows I have a TON of artwork to put up there, but who has the time? So, Josh and I sat down today and have put together a nice little format for how it’s going to work. Granted, it won’t Read More

Frustrating Game

09/19/2005

Well, we totally got cremed tonight. Two of our players haven’t practiced with us AT ALL since last year and one only practiced with us a short time. It was frustrating to have people all rusty and feeling awkward working together. We also played 6-2 and I don’t think everyone had a good sense of Read More

New Season

09/19/2005

Well, volleyball has started up again and we have our first game in the advanced league tonight. I’m so stoked. Our team was able to practice yesterday and we were practicing the 6-2 formation, which was lots of fun! A little chaotic… but fun. I think it will just get better the more we play Read More

I Look Like a Man…

09/18/2005

Well, I figured out one significant key to what keeps mine and Josh’s marriage happy and healthy. Not being too sensitive. Very often, I see couples around me complaining that “he’s not sensitive enough” and wah wah wah. And it’s frustrating, because I see the guy walking on eggshells everytime he’s around his wife. And Read More

Welcome to the Family!

09/17/2005

Well, it took me long enough to post this! On August 27th, I had the pleasure of standing with my brother and his lovely lady, Kristin, at their wedding. It was a beautiful event and it’s awesome to have another sister! Growing up with only brothers, it’s been awesome to add Ronnie & Emily to Read More

iPod Lock???

09/08/2005

School has started again, and so has using my iPod to blare music into my art room as we’re all chillin’ and making stuff. Last year, iPod theft was a huge issue and I can’t help but worry about it myself. Not to mention my sweet Bose stereo. I never worry about my laptop because Read More

Bible Donations

09/02/2005

I lead the Christian Club at my school and would like to get a set of Bibles to keep at school to use for our weekly Bible studies. If you are interested in donating one or more Bibles, would you please e-mail me? I’d be open to any new or used NIV translations. If you’d Read More

Spost

09/01/2005

I was grading the Room Procedures Exams today, which I grade immediately when students are finished. They work on another assignment while I move around the room and grade the exams right in front of them. This way, I can ask for clarification, which is especially important for my English language learners. Anyway, one of Read More
