From the Outside Looking In…

So as I was going into the conference room at the central office yesterday, I was stoppd by the head of schools who said “We have a friend in common…I spoke with PR last night.”  My jaw dropped – it had been a few years since PR and I last saw each other.  I was [...]

I think I would be perfect!  Should I start posing for the cameras?  I’m ready for my closeup!! 
Bravo announced this week that it will bring its “Real Housewives” program to Washington and is hard at work “scouting the D.C. area to identify the city’s alluring and discriminating residents … women who have their [...]

I am angry.  This video is worthy of another view.

With an eventful weekend behind us, Memorial Day itself is already starting out as a reflective and relaxing day to ease me back into the work week.  I just finished a cup of coffee after sharing homemade waffles with LC in the dining room.  As he folds laundry (both mine and his!) we have HGTV [...]

Oh.  My.  God.  What an awesome adventure!  Today, LC and I went on a 6-hour kayaking trip out of Leesburg Virginia and ended at Terera Winery, voted the best winery in Loudon County, where we enjoyed a 2-hour tasting and winery tour.  What a great day!

This can be a very precarious time of the school year.  With only 15 school days or so left in the year, students and teachers alike often want to unwind and get into “coasting” mode through to the end of the year.  Danger.  And I can see the effects of this already.
In some classes I [...]

The Real Housewives of New Jersey.  Gotta love it – simply fabulous.  But I have one question: Why was I not invited to join the show?  Well, when I asked that at work today a colleague reminded me that I am not a housewife…yet.  She placed the emphasis on the word ‘yet.’
But, come on!  Watching [...]

I am procrastinating this rainy Sunday.  I have already made the scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast and this morning I put chopped olives and mozzarella cheese in the eggs!  What a nice start to the day with a sprinkle of salsa on the eggs.  So, that took up some time as the coffee [...]
