At the sound of the beep
November 7, 2007
Hi. You’ve reached HD at One Small Corner of the Universe. I’m not available to post right now because, thanks to a misunderstanding following a trip to the grocery store wherein I said to myself, “That needs to go into the freezer,” but I misunderstood myself and thought I said, “That needs to go right … More At the sound of the beep
If I could turn back time
November 3, 2007
I want you to try a little something for me. Don’t worry, it’s easy. If I were a betting woman I’d bet you do it all the time, anyway. I want you to close your eyes, and I want you to imagine it’s still Thursday. No, not ANY Thursday–Thursday last. November 1st. There you go, … More If I could turn back time
A la mia cara Mia: Mommy is a slacker
September 12, 2007
I started doing these little monthly updates for the same reason that a certain well-known blogger does monthly letters about her daughter: changes, both physical and mental, happen so fast with babies, and I didn’t want to forget anything and end up posting something in December like, “You’ve grown a lot. You’re a year old. You’re a big girl … More A la mia cara Mia: Mommy is a slacker
4 things

1. A question (for my Harry Potter friends): if you could have any magical power from the Harry Potter series, what would it be? What magical object would you like to possess? Me, I want to Apparate, and I really dig Hermione’s magic purse from book 7. 2. A request: Amanda! When I go to … More 4 things
Give me a topic, volume 2

Calliope asks: Who will win American Idol? I am probably one of the only people in America–no, the WORLD–who doesn’t watch American Idol. I have watched the audition episodes exactly twice. I am extremely anti-reality show, and I don’t listen to much mainstream music or watch much mainstream television, so the show doesn’t really interest me. … More Give me a topic, volume 2
Give me a topic, volume 1

Jen asks: Have you had any other jobs besides teaching? As an adult, no, unless you count coaching, but I think they are parts of the same whole. I was the night and weekend manager of a successful hair salon my last two years of college, however, and I loved it. Not only did I get lots of … More Give me a topic, volume 1
Same story, different year
May 7, 2007
If you go back and read my May entries from 2005 and 2006 you’ll notice a pattern. It’s quite similar to the one that is developing for May 2007. I don’t blog much in May. Not only is it a–how shall I say nicely?–trying time in the public schools, but it’s also the time of year when … More Same story, different year

I drove by the site of my former workplace yesterday. It’s REALLY gone now. Nothing there but a concrete foundation and a flagpole. If I hadn’t known were I was, I wouldn’t have known where I was. It was eerie, but completely unemotional. I think knowing that my stuff is no longer accessible is actually … More Assorted
New frontiers
February 25, 2007
This is my last post on Blogger, and my first post on my all new blog at WordPress. Call me a follower, a copycat, a bandwagon-jumper–whatever you call me, please keep visiting, and if you link to my site, please adjust your site accordingly. The truth about the change is that I don’t like being … More New frontiers
