“We are raising a generation with no consequences.”
– MK (historycat), in the comments section of “Helicopter Parents Hover in the Workplace”
I see this every day as a teacher. It’s one of my biggest frustrations, and one of my biggest obstacles. I’m seriously considering reading this article with my students, to hear their...

Man Walking From Miami To San Fran For School... →
“The walk began in Miami just a few days ago, and Keene is already in West Palm Beach. In spite of his progress, the journey has been rough.
“Yesterday it felt like someone slipped a marble in my foot,” Keene said.
His expedition will take him through Atlanta, Nashville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake City, Sacramento and finally, San Francisco.”
“Be grateful for the empty inner place and the wound that pushed you to God.”

Madonna + M.I.A. = OMG!
Felt my heart skip a few beats.
Felt like a fifteen-year-old-boy for a few minutes there.

Si me quieres, quiéreme entera
poesiaespanol:
Si me quieres, quiéreme entera, No por zonas de luz o sombra… Si me quieres, quiéreme negra Y blanca. Y gris, y verde, y rubia, Y morena… Quiéreme día, Quiéreme noche… ¡Y madrugada en la ventana abierta!. Si me quieres, no me recortes: ¡Quiéreme toda… O no me quieras!.

Europe's lost generation: how it feels to be young... →
“Maybe being young is never easy. But being a twentysomething young European has rarely been more stressful. More than a quarter (28%) of Italians between 16 and 24 are unemployed. Others are struggling to get by on unpaid internships or poorly paid jobs with little security…. It’s not just Italy, of course. Eurozone unemployment is at a record. According to Eurostat, the...

Apparently, puppy fever is contagious
and my husband and I have caught the same strain. We’re both head-over-heels for the labradoodle, even after researching several other similar breeds/mixes. And he, on his own and not having looked at my tumblr, found the picture of Lucy the Labradoodle online and made it his new profile picture.
Yes, practically speaking, we probably should get a standard or miniature poodle, purebred. But...

OMG I totally have puppy fever.
I am in my thirties, not completely sure where it came from, never really been a dog person, but all I know is that I want a puppy and I want one now.
I’m especially jonesing for a labradoodle. I mean, come on. Smart, easy-going, athletic and water-loving. And fairly hypo-allergenic. I mean, how much more do I really need out of a canine companion?

8th period
Mickey: Señora, what's the Spanish word for 'piñata'?
Me: Piñata! It's actually a Spanish word.
Mickey: So, what's the English word for 'piñata'?
Me: Same word -- piñata! It's a borrowed word, we borrowed it from Spanish, and just use the same word in English for the same thing.
Mickey: Whoa. Whoooooaaaa. That is one of the most mind-boggling things I've ever heard.

I would just like to say that I find it ridiculous
that I am in my thirties and STILL dealing with ‘mean girl’ crap from other women who are also in their thirties. I mean, for real. If you don’t like me, if you don’t want to be friends with me, if you don’t want to hang out with me on the weekends, THAT’S OKAY. I’m confident enough in myself to not base my self-esteem and self-worth on whether or not the...

I dreamed last night that I was walking the Camino...
Perhaps I should seriously consider it. That Way passes right through my husband’s ancestral home, and a beach that I’ve been seeing in dreams for the last fifteen years.
It was a toss-up between the Camino Frances and the Camino del Norte for my Way to Santiago. I walked the Camino Frances. Maybe I should explore the Way not taken now.
