Miami Book Fair (Sorry, kinda long)
As I write this I'm looking out over Spencer's shoulder at the traffic in downtown Miami. We took our second annual pilgrimage to the Miami Book Fair (and yes J and J, I bought you an early release copy of "Phantom Dream")since we are a loving family of bibliophiles. It's interesting that we all tend to spread out like the kids in Willy Wonka's ( Read more... ) -
Ain't Got Time for Hanging Chads
I've come to the conclusion that single people and married people have very different views about what's best for the country among my group of friends. Financial issues mean something totally different when you don't live on your own it seems. I've also been very surprised by some friends' choices. What it really comes down to is that our ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
This has been a very introspective year for me. It seems that every time I have a moment to think I'm assessing myself in some sense. Am I doing well enough at my job, am I working on my writing enough (the answer is almost always a resounding no), am I being a good friend/wife, am I focusing on my faith daily, etc... Maybe I'm having a quarter ( Read more... ) -
Musings and a Very Brief Review of The Dutchess
Ah the trials of being alone when your husband is on a business trip. Here is what occurred in my exciting life tonight. While aimlessly wandering the shelves at Publix, I found myself faced with a choice-dumplings from the sushi counter? I look in the box and I see one microscopic packet of soy sauce. Then I think about the taste of dumpling ( Read more... ) -
Today's Forcast-Postalicious
A day of wanting human companionship but finding none has led me to various places in the livejournal world. I've had an epiphany through these virtual wanderings though; there are a lot of people out there who can express themselves very eloquently in writing. I am not part of a small group of people who consider themselves writers and I am ( Read more... ) -
Insightful Nerdness
It is a time of unrest. War with the separatist force that threatens the daily lives of every citizen in the republic has brought economic hardships and emotional strain. Many out for their own profit threaten the stability of the established system. As the government continues to turn a blind eye to the growing weight of its own power, those ( Read more... ) -
Meanderings
Another Jewish holiday off from school and hardly anything accomplished. Ah, I'm not upset. I've had a very laid back day and that's great. I'm about to start writing so that will make it productive ( Read more... ) -

Aye Me...
After a weekend of doing nothing much except eating and sleeping, I'm ready to take on another 4 day week. (Thank God for Jewish holidays in public schools!) I'm actually excited to start the upcoming novel we're going to focus on. (The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi) I have some ideas for fun activities. Man I'm a stinking roller ( Read more... ) -
I'm a blob of depressed goo
My poor husband. It seems like all I do lately is rant in the kitchen about how much my job sucks and how much I feel like I suck as I bang pots around. Why am I so disheartened by teaching? I started thinking I could make a difference and that I'd take any challenge head on. Now I'm so beaten down just by the daily routine and everything I ( Read more... )
