I don’t like to use automatic payment options for things like utility bills. I want to know how much my bill is and then I like to pay it manually, even if I am just issuing a check payment via my online banking account. I just don’t like the idea of it coming right out […]
I finished my teacher certification program in July of 2007. I received an e-mail sent to all students at the college certifying in critical needs areas, like the Exceptional Student Education in which I certified. There is a grant the college secured that would award a tuition stipend. The way I read the letter, I […]
I cannot stomach most of the TV shows available these days. I watch an awful lot of Discovery Channel and National Geographic. I don’t want to be fed a steady diet of reality TV about stars learning how to dance or washed celebrities in drug treatment. Why? Because I have more important things on my […]
Even though my daughter is only in pre-K, her Spring Break has come as a wonderful breath of fresh air after months of routine. She is just as excited about being home from school for a week as an older child would be. And, I am excited as well.
Today we went to the beach with […]
I love taking pictures and I am pretty good at getting great shots with my digital cameras. I am, however, nowhere near professional. I don’t have the right equipment, lighting, or experience. Nonetheless, I have a good enough eye that I am not satisfied to go to JC Penney or WalMart when I want portraits […]

The BD GeneOhm StaphSR Assay is a rapid test and means you do not […]
I got rid of SO MUCH when we moved from Gainesville to the Tampa Area at the end of 2005. Then, my ex-husband left us a couple months later and I got rid of even more. And, when I finally moved in with family, I gave away yet more. I’m not talking about a few […]
I have my certification to teach exceptional student education through grade 12. The thing is, I have learned so much about the public school system in the last couple of years that I am now unsure if I want to work in it. I am more apt to look for a job at a private […]
I had someone e-mail me today asking me if I have ever tired mineral makeup. I have. In fact, I started using it back when there was only really one brand on the market. Now there are dozens of choices. And, they are all a little different. I urged her to try a few, as […]
Well, in all actually I only speak one language with any sill at all and that is English. My high school Latin and Spanish come to me in small flashes, but I would not want to depend on either of them to communicate.
When I say I am bilingual, I mean that I speak both Mac […]
