Self-proclaimed professional bon vivant. Middle school Writing teacher. NYC is where I hang my hat. This is what's on my mind.
Everyone that knew me well in my early high school days knew that Prince William was my first and most major celebrity crush. If you can remember back to how girls were at that age, you might remember that having a crush was serious stuff. Us adolescent girls were devoted to our crushes and we... Continue Reading →
Most of my close friends do not use Twitter. I guess that's not too surprising given the average Twitter user is 39 years-oldĀ and as a twenty-something, the average age of my close friends is considerably lower than 39 years old. Since Twitter is such a part of my daily routine, I find it difficult to... Continue Reading →
I had no idea I was even nominated for two of the Shepherd Express's Best of Milwaukee Web Awards until someone tweeted me to say they had voted for me in the category Best Personal Blog. Voted for me? When I mentioned this fact to another friend and fellow avid tweeter, she replied, "Yeah, you... Continue Reading →
Our teachers. Remember when we actually appreciated the work of our teachers? I don't even know how to begin to respond to this whole collective bargaining issue here in Wisconsin and around the country, the massive teacher lay-offs that happen every year, the constant budget cuts for already cash-strapped school districts, and the "well teachers...

Happy Valentine's Day! In the spirit of the holiday, I'd like to take a moment to pay tribute to two things I love (besides the Green Bay Packers): books and attractive men. Inspired by a recent post on a literary blog I follow I read entitled, "Bangable Dudes in Literature" and my love of making... Continue Reading →
As a lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers, I was obviously ecstatic about the outcome of Super Bowl 45 this past Sunday. The last time the Packers made it to the Super Bowl, I was 13 years-old and when the Packers won their last Super Bowl title, I was 12 years-old. That was such... Continue Reading →
In the middle of the kitchen at a recent party, my two girl friends and I found ourselves standing in the corner near the keg discussing awkward conversation starters. Awkward conversation starters usually fly from the mouths of people who are trying too hard. Ā We had many laughs trying to come up with the most... Continue Reading →
Last week, I enjoyed a fabulous, all-inclusive vacation in Mexico. I spent the week with family and friends on the Caribbean Sea, sipping drinks on the beach, enjoying 80 degree weather, and working on my tan in January--oh and visiting ancient ruins in Tulum. Ā I could not have asked for a better vacation. Ā At the... Continue Reading →
January 17th, 1991 was not a particular day of note, however, I did come across a fascinating diary entry that I had written on that day that still surprises me. My second grade teacher had been talking to us a lot about the Gulf War and one of our school's secretaries had a son-in-law that... Continue Reading →
