Free Reading
I’m using my Tumblr again for my March Slice of Life Challenge because my other blog again appears to be on the fritz. *sighs*
(Not much “craft” to today’s post…. But lots of great reading ideas)
As my students finish up during state testing, they pull out a book to read. State testing time is one of those wonderful times when they are free to read anything they want. There are no assigned...
WatchHis choice of solo - #StarWars main theme.
Jitters
Anxiously pacing, I wonder about what could go wrong. Did we practice enough? Will the audience laugh in the right spots? Laugh at all? Frantically, I make one last check of our “set”. Desks are rearranged to allow for the maximum amount of stage space. Chairs are in place for our honored guests. Did I forget anything? Only time will tell. Students arrive, chirping brightly. Strained smiles,...

H is for... Hoarding
I have a confession to make – I’m a hoarder.
Now, before you call a full scale intervention, hear me out. My house has plenty of room to walk around, and there are no corpses of creatures lying in any corners. Well, maybe a few dead stinkbugs – but that’s it, I swear!
I hoard a few select items.
Books. I guess, as a card carrying member of the Nerdy Book Club, this goes without saying. I’m...

Sounds of "Silence"
I’m attempting to write every day as part of the “Slice of Life” Challenge hosted by Two Writing Teachers. Stop by!

Maria's Excellent Adventure
I’m writing daily in March as part of the Slice of Life challenge hosted by Two Writing Teachers
Today I answer the age old question, “If you could invite three historical characters to join you for lunch, who would they be?” Why yes, it’s hard hitting journalism on the blog today! I’m hopping into my phone booth time machine and bringing these fine ladies back to join me for high tea. Or...
Loss
Days pass without a thought,
A twinge of pain,
A memory.
Suddenly, a question,
A photo,
A word;
Cuts deeply.
Nothing left to share.
No more birthdays.
No more chats on the phone.
No more gifts; carefully chosen.
No more.
Life calls
Birthdays, phone calls,
Gifts to select for those we love.
We move on.
Yet shadows of grief
Linger.

DC Women Kicking Ass: Goodbye to Helena Bertinelli... →
I’ll miss #Huntress as a teacher. I loved that, helped me identify with her more.
dcwomenkickingass:
Helena Bertinelli wasn’t just a cape she was also a school teacher. That dichotomy was noted by two readers.

I really loved that she was a teacher, and that being a teacher was as much her mission as shooting people with crossbows. I love the idea of “capes” who do...
