Where did all this stuff come from?

My photo
El Dorado, Arkansas, United States
I'm the mother of two grown children, grandmother of one incredible young US Marine, retired veteran (25 years) teacher, widow after having been married 41 years, in a relationship with a wonderful man.

That's me in the middle! My buddy Lisa and one of Greg's high school students and I sang Christmas carols at church one Friday evening. Fun!

My continuing quest for easy

I've just wasted a whole evening cruising the internet. Of course, I go back and forth between everything else and Pinterest. Just followed a Pinterest link to a new blog thingy. Why? Why in the world would I want to try to learn another blog? I can barely do this one!

Pinterest

Be careful: This site is addictive. Pinterest is a site where you can pin things you find interesting. Like a bulletin board that doesn't get dusty.

Snow Day


Finally see some frozen stuff at 9:30. I was beginning to feel guilty about enjoying a "No Snow Day,"

My snow day was very soothing: naps, crafting, and catching up on DVRed programs. Big flakes blanketed the shrubs outside my window, white puffs sat on top of tree branches. Beautiful...

No Child Left Behind should be No Teacher Left Standing.

Time flies

Must be something about February that makes me want to share myself with the world since my last post was February 2010. Actually, blogging is scary. I've been reading some awesome blogs from ladies all over the world and feel intimidated at all they accomplish, even with caring for their families. It's just me, and I can hardly keep up with all my stuff and duties. Hats off to the women!

Since my last post, I have redecorated my craft room. It's aqua with white trim and red accents. I actually paid a professional painter to do the work. In a perfect world, all my supplies would be neatly tucked away in labeled, color-coordinated bins so that I could easily access all my cool stuff. In a perfect world...In Lindaland, stuff is everywhere! Last weekend at First United Methodist Church, my good friend Pat Odom headed a womens' retreat with Jan Silvious inspiring us and various women from the church and town conducting fun workshops. I did a "Not Just Scrapbooks" class and had lots of fun, but getting ready involved a Tasmanian Devil type sweep through my stash. Whew, it was not pretty. It is not pretty yet.

I'm Just Sayin'

Here's some wisdom from the teacher in me:

Parents, never say, "My child would never lie to me." Your child will lie to you in a NY minute.
