The Archive Meme- steal this!
Teeni just did this meme (a meme is basically a blog post idea that gets passed among bloggers), she was tagged by Paige at Eat, Bitch, & Whine. I thought it sounded like a fun one to do, it allows blog owners to refer readers to some of their notable/ relevant posts that offer insight […]

I just read a great blog post about U-turns and life. The author articulately compared life is with getting lost while driving. Oh, Dang! I just closed the tab for the blog I was wanting to link to. The blogger just left me a comment so now I have the url again, yay! Follow the […]

Woho… The crocus are in bloom!
That means gardening fun is about to begin for us! The crocus blooms are a beautiful yellow and are quite cheerful. They are kind of short, like they were planted too deep but it still so great to see them even if they are short. Do you have any early spring bulbs that are blooming […]

I hate my tongue. If I could cut my tougue off I would! For the last 2 days I have had this awful metal/ copper taste in my mouth. It is noticable all day long, I can drink or eat anything without noticing it. I miss being able to enjoy my coffee! Yesterday I thought […]

Happy St. Pattys day guys, dye your hair green like me!
Yep, St. Patrick’s day is today… Just realized this. Here is a little flashy, flash from the past for you:
When I was in 6th grade I was going to this girl scout party for St. Patrick’s day. They were having a contest, “wear the most green and win”. My step dad and I planned to go and win.
It's a stormy weekend day, perfect lazy weather!
Today is a lazy day! I am crampy, achy and beat again and it is snowing so I started the laundry, folded a dry load and now am sitting in my bed writing this post. I can see the snow falling from where I sit and it’s so warm and toasty here. My students did […]

Are you an alpha-gear-head mathlete? Know one?
I love stick figure videos that provide information about stuff. I once saw one that talked about how bad drugs were, it aired during cartoon time on the TV and I thought it was a nice way to reach kids. I just saw a stick man video that talked about Kettering University they are targeting […]

Our zebra finches are persistant & stubborn!
Today when we went to refill our bird food for the zebra finches N made a discovery! We took the finch nest out of the cage because all the experts say that without a nest finches wont try to breed. Well, this is the 2nd time our zebra finches have proved them wrong! So we […]
Growing "Winston Churchill" Fuchsias
I spent some time with my “Winston Churchill” Fuchsia today and did some research on pruning for the coming spring. Fuchsias produce breathtaking flowers and are somewhat hardy plants. They do however need to be protected from winter frost/ snow so I brought our potted fuchsia inside when winter came. Luckily winter is winding down […]
