It might surprise you to know that not every English major wants to be a teacher. I know, because I am an English major, and I have never had any intentions of teaching. Even when I was a Spanish major, I didn’t think I would be a teacher. I don’t like talking in front of…

Day 14: My Love Hate Relationship With Facebook
Facebook is so amusing to me. One thing that amuses me about it are the status updates where someone announces that they are “cleaning up” their friends list. One of my friends did it in rounds. With every “cut” she announced that she had cut more people and if we her (Facebook) friends wanted to…
My Daughter, The Writer.
In case you didn’t know this already, I am participating in nablopomo and it is day 4 (!!!) I entertained the idea of nanowrimo but after realizing that I will easily write 50000 words (or close to it) this semester for school, I opted not do to so. I can handle a daily blog post….

To The Moon and Back
I spent the day shopping with my daughter J yesterday. We had such a fun time-and I’d like to say that it wasn’t just because I was spending extraordinary amounts of money on her. It’s true that I was spending money on her, but only because she needed summer clothes…and wanted to go shopping with…
Is This a Mid-Life Crisis?
I’ve had this major epiphany. Either that, or I have completely lost my mind. This is the “epiphany” I had recently. I want to be a writer. I take that back. I am already a writer. I want to be a “professional.” Yep. That has always been a dream of mine, ever since I wrote…
