Today, or rather, this afternoon, has been one of those that just needs to end. If I drop one more thing in the kitchen, I swear… ok, no more of that. DINNER! I got the idea for dinner tonight while looking over my post from the other day. I remembered that I had these micro-kabochas [...]
I got home to that 5 lb. package I mentioned yesterday… any guesses what was in it? Well, some of you already knew, so I’ll just show ya Due to a surprise tax return, I was able to get this amazing camera I’ve been coveting for SUCH a long time! It’s a Canon EOS Rebel [...]
¡Buenas noches! I hope you all had a wonderful Monday, whether you worked today or not. I did not and had a thoroughly unproductive day off. I tend to do nothing on my days off and then feel guilty about it, but I have NO shame about being completely useless today. I did have a [...]
It has been quite a long week, and I’m beyond thrilled that tomorrow is Friday! We have a no-students-present institute day, which are always fun. Not that I don’t love my students, but sometimes it’s nice to hang out with adults. Sometimes, I’ll spend some time up in the main office at work and chat [...]

Didja miss me last night?? I know you did! Apparently, Wednesdays are my “be really busy until really late, and have no time to blog at night” days! Last night, I was lucky enough to be selected to be part of a focus group talking about trends in one of my favorite things: shoes! It [...]
Yep, its 5 p.m. here. And I’ve already eaten dinner. You know those days when there’s something to look forward to the next day, and you just can’t sleep? Maybe Christmas, or the day before your birthday? Well, when a teacher is anticipating a snow day, every little noise sounds like it could be a [...]
I had a big event after school today. I got to do something I haven’t done in a very long time… I went to Trader Joe’s! I got a pretty decent haul for a small amount of money, and proceeded to make a simple and random TJ’s dinner. After, of course, I spent some time [...]
Just going to be honest with you here… I have the Super Bowl on right now, but only to listen for commercial breaks! The commercials are all that my students will talk about tomorrow, and I have to be up on what was shown! Apparently, I already missed a couple… Since we’re not having a [...]

I got a whopping 3 anonymous questions today, so since dinner is far off, I’ll take tonight’s post to answer them! Just remember you can ask me anything on my “Ask Me” page… but if you’re going to ask me what it was like to be a fat bride, (yes someone asked) don’t bother. Anonymity [...]
Apparently, this is what happens. First come the combinations with the squash and coconut milk. Then come almond flour pancakes for breakfast, then comes this: What the heck is that? Apparently I’m taking after HEABy! Well, the toppings are obvious: homemade guacamole and sour cream. Under that, there’s some chili-lime chicken. Then, a little cheddar [...]
