January 4th, 2010 in and now you might know everything, Andrea should move back to Canada, because "guilt" is a dirty word, because I can't do report cards 24/7, confession of the day, find the dorkiest sentence in this, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, harry potter, I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, it's almost like a meme, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, love or something like it, man I'm such a girl, the J.O.B., the one that nobody reads because of the title, the title says it all, top 10 I considered doing a “let’s reflect on everything that happened in 2009” post, but honestly? My brain works better moving forward, rather than looking back. And although 2009 had some ultra, let’s-just-up-and-down-clapping-our-hands-we-are-so-damn-happy-I-look-drunk-with-joy, moments (hello new job! hello H.A.D! hello bangs that don’t make me look like I’m 9 years old!)- I’m ready to move into 2010.
So in the spirit of reflection and moving forward (and yes, it’s possible to do both), here’s 10 great, big, off-the-charts,shout-out-loud, moments I’m excited for in 2010.
1. I’m really working hard on being a better teacher. December… well, let’s just say December left …READ MORE

I love you, here is my heart, it happened this week, life lesson, love or something like it, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., people i like, seriously, something I won't forget, the last line is my favourite, this one is about you I know people who don’t understand blogging. Some of them, happen to be my favourite people in the world. Sure, they get the idea of sharing your thoughts, but many of my dearest and closest friends struggle to understand what a blogging community is and why it’s something I adore. I mention blogging or 20sb in casual conversations and I can see them trying to fully grasp the importance of this world to me but I know the connection hasn’t been made.
To be fair, I’ve never been really good at explaining why I do adore the community and the …READ MORE

And if there’s one thing I’m about, it’s the ring).
1. Crying in public, sending out 80,000 resumes and begging will not get you a job. Neither will good intentions, great connections and a resume so sparkling it would make Obama’s look shoddy in comparison. A good job will find you when you least expect it. And everyone who says “the perfect job will find you when you are ready”, …READ MORE
November 12th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, disappointment, here is my heart, i should be a P.S.A., i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, I've fallen into a funk and I can't get up, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it happened this week, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's not you it's me, life lesson, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., right on my sleeve, something I won't forget, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the world according to me, this one is about you, when i say it anyway They didn’t tell you how fun blogging could be. How excited you would be when you got your first comment, when you saw your name on someone’s blogroll, when you plucked out a handful of words from the vast English language to make sentence you were proud to write. A sentence that you would re-read because you loved it so much, a sentence that would ring in your head and roll off your tongue like poetry. No, they didn’t tell you that.
They didn’t tell you about the community. My word, the community. The people you would meet, the friends …READ MORE
October 21st, 2009 in and now you might know everything, i should be a P.S.A., I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it makes sense to me, it's always easier to say it than do it, life lesson, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., school, self improvement, teaching, the J.O.B., the less i worry the happier i am, the title says it all, the world according to me, this tag is for you Arm!, what i found when i went looking, when I go all Dr. Seuss on you, you're skimming this one I’m sitting here in my classroom- one that was so ugly when I first met it, I almost cried. It was a thousand shades of beige with ripped construction paper and borders that didn’t quite meet around bulletin boards. It had dirty walls, smeared windows and it smelled like my grandmother’s basement. It had torn posters haphazardly dangling from the last cold remnants of sticky tack, a small collection of tattered books housed in a dirty plastic bin and 10 lonely desks stood in the center of the room.
I look around now. I have brightly colored material stretched over …READ MORE
October 13th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's a long one (twss), it's almost like a meme, lists, so egan will LOVE this, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the title says it all, tomorrow will be better, wasting time, you're skimming this one I got this sent to me in an email and it reminded me of the good ol’ days when I would dedicate all my free time to answering email surveys. I’m pretty sure I set some sort of record for answering them, I really loved filling out questions about my favourite type of ice cream or first boy I kissed (you think I’m kidding, but sadly I am not. My ego is so large it adored the attention). Anyway, I got this one sent to me ages ago and thought it would be fun to churn out. Regular blogging shall …READ MORE

I love you, i should be a cheerleader, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, it's a good thing, love or something like it, man I'm such a girl, men, no i haven't gotten laid, other people say it better, right on my sleeve, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the title says it all, things I don't say outloud, vague is vogue, what the hell, when i say it anyway It surprises me when I discover I am loved.
That sounds silly doesn’t? As though one should take for granted being loved as easy as one takes for granted air or space or the continued beat of their own heart despite a deep rooted love for corn dogs.
But it surprises me to discover I am loved.
When the words leave someone else and are shot straight to me- like a rubber band filled with nervous excitement, ” I love you“, three words that light up even the darkest night, I find that I have no room to be delighted- …READ MORE

I was hired by a friend of my parents and told that the work would be extremely easy. My job description fell under the vague category of “safety coordinator”. I was told to show up at the water treatment center at 6 am and to bring a lunch. I was hesitant about going, the only safety measures I knew were medical procedures I learned watching E.R- and I doubted anyone would need me to (or even let me) perform a tracheotomy with a bic …READ MORE

Nelly lyrics for my title? Either I’m forging new ground or else I’m regressing to 2002 and someone should take me out back with a shovel and put me out of my misery.
Either way, this lyric is one that has been popping into my head lately. I have no idea totally know why. I think because (start looking for your shovel), this particular song makes me ridiculously happy. And right now? I am ridiculously happy.
Like the kind of happy makes normal people want to shout from rooftops and makes us technology whores write blog posts …READ MORE
September 7th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, and now you might know everything, are you there God? It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, confession of the day, earning my dork badge, i complain because I care, it happened this week, it's not you it's me, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., school, the J.O.B., the one that nobody reads because of the title, these are the things that happen to me, you're skimming this one I was going to start this post as though I was dead and writing to you from the great beyond. But it was high on the creep factor and low on the funny (much like a guy I made many bad choices with). But I felt like I need to make some reference to death since I’ve started getting emails with- “ARE YOU DEAD?”. Which has caused to reflect on the fact that hey, I’m not dead. So I should write something to show that I AM alive, even if I’ve spent every waking moment of the last two weeks …READ MORE
