From the Outside Looking In…

This photo is a pleasant sight to see.
Yes, I know, shower tile.
But not just any ol’ shower tile..THE shower tile that has taken us a long time to locate and then finally get our hands on!  The first few attempts at choosing tiles for the bathroom went without much success since they had been discontinued [...]

I really enjoy the flavor of pumpkin.  I found a great recipe online last night for pumpkin pancakes.  How yummy does that sound?!?
Last year I carved a pumpkin at home one quiet evening and later roasted the seeds I had taken out of it.  The crunchy seeds were a nice, nutritious snack for a few [...]

New York City Marathon.
Sunday, November 2, 2008.  Not only will I set my clock back one hour for daylight savings time, but I will also run alongside my partner, T, during the 26.2 mile journey through all five boroughs of New York City.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that T’s dad helped arrange for us [...]

Sunday.

I hope you’re happy
Now that you’re choosing this…
I hope it brings you bliss
I really hope you get it
And you don’t live to regret it

I hope you’re happy in the end
I hope you’re happy…
my friend.

Something got me thinking about having children – oh, yea, it was the 260 of them around me throughout the day.
I know that one day we will have a family, children of our own.  How that is going to happen and in what time frame is still being discussed, although my biological clock is ticking.  [...]

That is the tricky phrase in any employment contract.  I am a school administrator.  That is a given, the most obvious role I play in the school…but that also entails being a janitor, maintenance person, counselor, referee, and, today, food server.  I figured that since my cafeteria worker had called out sick today  and there [...]

At school today we had our annual compliance audit.  The second of three audits this year, I must say this was the most intense day to date.  The final audit is the biggie since it has to do solely with student residency which is the basis of funding for our school.  Today was compliance regarding [...]
