Guess Who's Back

Sorry for my lack of posting, I could blame it on being super busy (which I am).  But, I guess the reason I took a hiatus was for lack of cynicism.  My first post were based solely around my sarcastic and cynical ways.  I guess part of the reason I am not so cynical these days has to do with the guy in that picture over there.  He's pretty swell.  That picture was taken at Lambert's on a recent trip to St. Louis (on Labor Day weekend).  He keeps my pretty happy (Shannon not Lambert) these days.

I have picked up an addiction to Pinterest (www.pinterest.com), don't say I didn't warn you, it's highly addictive.  One thing I have picked up from Pinterest is the urge to be crafty and the urge to bake.  I have painted 2 canvases and baked several things.  My favorite is Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies.  They are super easy and super tasty.  I'll post the recipe one day.

Shannon and I at Parker Homestead
Recently, school has been keeping me pretty busy, but I have had time to have some fun.  Today, I went to Parker Homestead with my lifegroup.  We had a blast.  My TOMS got awful dusty, but the kettle corn was delicious. 

I know most of you are probably bored with my "real" post.  Don't worry, I'm sure I'll have some gripe later.

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy.  That is totally not the case.  I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness".  I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man).  This year has sucked.  And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am.  It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again.  Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man.  It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with.  However, I know what I want.  I know what I don't.  And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve.  I would rather be alone and unha...

Better

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon.  One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year.  You pick a word.  If you go here  you can read about that. Basically, here is a simple three step introduction. Step One:  Determine the kind of person you want to be. Step Two:  Identify the characteristics of that person. Step Three:  Pick a word. Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent. I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019.  I have been thinking for a few weeks.  I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter.  I have thought about those characteristics of that person.  And today, on th...

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey!  I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not.  My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well.  Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun.  This one looked fun...so here it goes.  I hope I don't suck.  BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN.  I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk.  Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach...  Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan.  I may google that later.  (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...
