January 22nd, 2010 by melis

I’m going to start a new blogging idea tonight. I work with kids from age 5 to about 11 years old, and they are soooo funny. I live my job so much because even in the days where I teach the same exact lesson as the day before the students make the class periods a [...]

January 9th, 2010 by melis

As usual, I’m late to the party, the Bloggiesta party that is. Last weekend I went a bit nuts on updating my blog adding new sections, and a new layout, all of which I am very pleased with, but I still have a some tweaks I have yet to do. I kept seeing the hashtag [...]

2010 Debut Author Challenge

January 2nd, 2010 by melis

I REALLY should be turning on one of my exercise dvds, or the Wii fit right now, since I am at my parents’ house for the Holiday, and they are at the YMCA. That should be inspiring me, and also…it’s my one chance at using their TV! So I’ll post this quickly.

January 1st, 2010 by melis

I did it! I met my 50 books in one year goal. I thought I was under, but I rechecked and found 2 books that I forgot to put in (The Summoning and Found) and decided since I put the work into reading my text books for class that they should count…unless I miscounted, which [...]

IMM and what’s been happening lately

August 31st, 2009 by melis

I did pick up some books today, so I thought I’d show you all my goodies a la The Story Siren’s In My Mailbox meme.

I went to Barnes and Noble to celebrate my start of school, and used my teacher discount for the first time. I think they had to be for school books, but [...]
