Stoppin' and Startin'

Wee!
I finished student teaching.

Boo!
I have to write my masters thesis and my proposal is due June 4th.
This means... more procrastinating! YES!
Now to think of blog topics and write more regularly if only to practice being interesting.

Edible landscape this year? No, it's too late. In fact, my yard looks horrid.
Another year without chickens in my yard also makes me sad. However, I still plan to buy local as much as possible.
Any local hummus farmers? I joke.. but it reminds me of when my we lived in Hawaii and my mother would tell people we had a "guacamole tree in our backyard [and that she was annoyed] when the guacamoles would fall into the yard and rot."

Happy New Year ...making this up as I go...

New Years resolutions a plenty...
One of them will be to blog more..
Actually, the resolution is to write more. Blogging is one way to keep that resolution without having to daily dive into the emerging octopus that my novel has become.
Unfortunately, I don't have much to say today. Yes.. it's like that.
So, I present a video I made for my 17th and 18th Century Dramatic Lit class last semester. It's a little.. how do I say?.. not for children…


Tell me your resolutions! I have to come up with a couple more by the end of the day and I'm not satisfied with the usual diet, exercise, drink less, etc... (esp since I don’t want to do that last one…)

Illuminating Some Bathroom Secrets

Though my husband insists it will lead to a future of night-blindness, I turn the light on when I use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I have good reasons.

1. So I won't fall into the toilet. Steve is usually good about putting the seat back down, but their might be a time when he forgets.. that would be the time I decided to leave the light off.
2. Snakes. There could be a snake in the toilet. Or spider... This has never happened in my lifetime but I always check.
3. Ax murderers. Ax murderers are also the reason I always check behind the shower curtain in every bathroom I enter. There could be an ax murderer lurking about, and I don't wish to be ax murdered with my pjs around my ankles.

Do you turn the bathroom light on in the middle of the night?
