T is for True Confessions…

 True confession…

…I love riding bikes. 

…I have to wear a mouthguard when I sleep because I grind my teeth

…I don’t go to bed early enough. 

…I like my job but with every year I get more and more exhausted more and more early in the school year. 

…I say “I just work her “ about 30 times a day. 

…I say “living the dream” anytime somebody asks me about my day. 

…I often talk to other drivers when driving even though they can’t hear me. 

…I whisper in class while mic’d up and pretend people can’t hear my inner thoughts. 

…I am wearing a granny dress to sleep in. 

…I do not care about the ac running constantly tonight. 

…I wish I were vacationing. 

…I am tired. 

…my legs hurt. Standing all day is tough. 

…I have grey hair coming in next to my ears. I sometimes think I should fight the battle and color my hair. 

Good night. 

W is for…Wanderlust

  Wanderlust: the desire to travel the world  

I hope to travel again. Time and money, mainly the later, keep me from whimsically wandering the globe. Oh yeah…And that whole job thing!

Back in the day I had an amazing trip with an amazing friend. After I finished in London with my aunt, uncle and mom and sent them back to the states, I traveled north to Scotland where my friend, Mary Beth was living at the time. My favorite quote from the trip was when we went out and MB had to drive, she would chant:”we drive on the left here!”

Oh the castles and cool things we saw!

I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to go across the pond. I hope to one day again get to see some pretty places.

T is for timeless…

School starts tomorrow. School is timeless, as is the one room schoolhouse. This one was in Little Suamico, Wisconsin. I think my dad went to school here as well as his siblings. School had changed in many ways since way back in the day…but alas…school is school. I guess we will see how this year will go. Year 25 as a teacher for me. Weird. 

M is for Mania…

  "Mania: excessive or unreasonable enthusiasm; the object of such enthusiasm."

Pens. They either matter to you or they don’t. For the writer in me, pens have always been important. I have had a few favorites along my writing journey. 

My first preferred pen were the Pilot G2 Gel Pens. They went on smooth and had a thin line. The second were Korean pens. Not only did they have cool mistranslations on them, but they also were the thinnest pen you could buy. Even smaller than .3mm

Then came fountain pens with the ink inside. Again a great line and thickness but I was lead to the perfect pen for me:

Enter the Pilot Frixon Eraseable Gel Pen. These are my current mania pen. I bought myself that very pack as a back to school constellation present. Retail therapy truly is a thing. These pens make me happy. If you know, you know!

What’s your favorite pen?

S is for Spitual…

 In the church I am a member of, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we have prophets and apostles. The leader of our church is called: The Prophet. 

Currently, Dallen H. Oaks is Thr Prophet. Here is a quote from him:

I find hope within my faith  That hope comes from Jesus Christ.  We need Him now more than ever.  May we all find hope and light in this often dark and chaotic world! Happy Sunday!
