Lover of words, dog mama, annoying wife, passionate educator, and all around awesome human being.
I am Here
I have a long history of torturing my loved ones with overly wordy letters and emails about the minutia of my life. My younger self started blogging thanks to a wonderful student teacher who first mentioned the word blog. And what did I have to offer the blogosphere? I blogged as if I were my cat. Pure gold. It was short-lived (fortunately).
Facebook became another forum for sharing words and pictures, and I gave up the blog. Friends and family regularly fan my ego with likes and “tears of joy” emoji’s, and some have gone so far as to suggest I write a book. If there’s a book inside me, it hasn’t made itself known. In the mean time, it’s a blog.
Welcome here.
Who I Am
Writer
I write for myself. I may not have a novel in me, and I may never become famous, but knowing that my words are floating out there in world means something to me. I hope you like it. The personal reflective genre is where I thrive, and I usually write too much about not enough.
Educator
I’m an English teacher, but this blog isn’t a teacher pep talk or garden of solutions. I will complain from time to time about the joys of teaching young adults.
Wife of the Year
Concerned about his anonymity in my obscure little blog on the world wide web, I asked my Significant Other how I should refer to him. He did not hesitate: “Super Stud 6000.” Around home, we prefer the less formal, Mr. Papa Daddy Sir.
Dog-Mama
I’m grateful to no longer be in an abusive relationship with a 19 pound tuxedo cat, angry because I named him Bellini. (Yes, stupid name for a black male cat. If I used the same naming system today, my dogs would be Shiraz and Vino instead of Lewis and Molly. And this blog might be called “redwineredwine”.)
