Well, I shall try again. It seems that every time I again begin writing this every day, something comes along that takes me away and that is all it takes. I go away and just never come back. Well, here we go again.
You know I have opinions on everything.... or, at least, comments.
You know I like to write and let everyone else know my opinions.
So .... why am I not writing? I think that perhaps, I let Facebook have too many of my comments and opinions since many more friends read there than here. So, does that mean I prefer an audience and that my writing is more about performance than mere expression? Probably so.
And so this comes with the promise to do better. In 2006, I wrote many things. 2012 has had not so much. Then, I wrote about the sewing I was doing... for myself and for others. What should my topics be this year? fashion? politics? the weather?
I think I will begin with a complaint against myself. You see, I had a birthday in August and so received about half a dozen or so coupons and gift certificates from various places in the area for money off..... Sonic, Taco Bueno, Le Madelein, El Fenix, and on and on... even 10% off at Damon and Draper, my favorite little dress shop. This happened and that happened and I was here and there; and I did not use any of them! Nope. Not one.
That is two years in a row I have not spent my BD coupons. Of course that also means I did not go and get any soft drinks or fast food; but I could have at least bought something cute at the dress shop. Suddenly , it was September and I had missed all chances.
Of course, I did get a 30% off coupon from Draper and Damon to use on September 1 or 2 and you know? I used that one! I filled in some things I no longer have, but need, such as navy pants; and I found a jacket that will serve two different ensembles.... I hope. The colors of things from Damon's are quite consistent and so I believe the jacket can be worn with both the purples and the teals. We shall soon see. More about fashion in my life later.
the trivial actions and rambling thoughts of a happy woman, a retired teacher who is finally showing all of her creative energies for the world to see ... or, at least, talking about them
I am a retired teacher who is loving being retired almost as much as I loved teaching and loved the kids in my classes. I enjoyed every day that my students learned something new and that lightbulb turned on in their eyes.
There is no greater fulfillment than knowing them now, as adults, some young, a few great grandparents, and knowing the wonderful people they have become. Although what I write, I write for my own pleasure, I also write to honor them.
