M is for Misc...


Today is Alphabee-Thursday.
That means this blog is brought to you this week by the letter M.
is for
Dictionary.com defines that word as:
mis·cel·la·ne·ous   /ˌmɪsəˈleɪniəs/ Show Spelled[mis-uh-ley-nee-uhs] Show IPA
–adjective
1.consisting of members or elements of different kinds; of mixed character:

Yeh...that's the way this entry wound up going.

When I got to thinking about what I wanted to write about for "M" week, lots of good ideas came to mind.
1. Marriage...since mine is 6 weeks away.
2. Moving...since I'll be doing so in 6 weeks!
3. Molly...my daughter
4. Matthew...my son
5. Maggie...my puppy
6. Mockabee...the last name I've been wearing for the past 20 years.
7. M&Ms..oh how I love thy chocolately goodness that melts in your mouth, not in your hands!
8. Music...oh how I love you.
9. Makeup...which I left at my parents' home, 75 miles away, a couple weekends ago.
10.Money...the root of all evil, the thing we can't live without.


See...there were so many good things to choose from.
I was REEEEEEEEALLY leaning towards the *moving* entry.
writing about all the places I've lived in my life...born in 3 places in OK before the age of 4, several places in AR..19 years in one town, 9 months in CA--in which I moved 3 different times, back to AR to live with my parents for a stint...then out on our own, then as a single mom, then here, in the town I love most.

I'd thought about putting a spin on the fact of moving in with my soon-to-be husband...how I love his neighborhood, how I really feel like we'll be living there the rest of our lives.

but then...my kids, my puppy...and chocolate?? how could I not mention those wonderful things?

So....I'm just throwing a little of this and a little of that into the mix.
Here goes:
1. Marriage...


2. Moving...


3. Molly...my daughter


4. Matthew...my son

*I have another son, too...but his name doesn't start with *M*, so he cant be in this entry! LOL

5. Maggie...my puppy

*Time for another haircut!*

6. Mockabee...the last name I've been wearing since Dec. 30, 1989.


7. M&Ms..oh how I love thy chocolately goodness that melts in your mouth, not in your hands! (Thank you Easter Bunny, BAWK BAWK!)


8. Music...oh how I love you. All your different varieties!


9. Makeup...

*It takes a lot of products to make this face presentable enough to leave the house.

10.Money...the root of all evil, the thing we can't live without.


ooooh...just thought of a couple more good ones...
11. Mother's Day...
12. May..the May Pole...Cinco de Mayo...Mayday


See...just so many Miscellaneous things!! But then, that's how I roll!

I hope you enjoyed this week's peek into my Mind! heehee

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
