OK, I’m diverging from the book topic for a bit now. Don’t worry, all you book-ophiles, I’ll talk more about books later. Right now it’s time to do an update on my 101 in 1001 days list! Remember how I’m trying to do 101 things in 1001 days? Well it’s been 195 days and I’ve […]
So thinking of Stuff Books Have Taught Me, cookbooks actually come to mind. I *love* cooking! I suppose it was actually my mom who taught me much of the stuff I know about cooking (she used to cook & bake with me and my sister all the time when we were little), but the recipes […]
The last book that I have on my list of books to read for my performance plan at work is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. There’s a section of our performance plans dedicated to personal growth (or something like that) and I’ve been wanting to read the PoN since forever, so I figured […]
Hot off the heels of listening to my first audiobook in the car on the way to and from work, I decided to see if the library had the next book on my list to read: Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy. This is the one I found on in e-format! Eat That Frog is […]
And speaking of books I’ve gotten out from the library, now I think I’ll review of a couple of them! At my new job, everyone has to put together performance plans to plan and track their performance.

OK, so now I’m on a role with my word policing. More incorrect word usages that piss me off include: Over vs. More Than When you are talking in amounts, it’s not correct to use “over” – for example, to say “there were over 100 people at the event” or “for over a decade.” It […]
As any of my students will tell you, I’m a big stickler for correct word usage. In fact, I often say that learning the correct meaning of words is about half1 of what you do in your education! So, in that vein, I give you four pairs of words2 that are commonly used as if […]
Well, I must be crazy to be doing this, especially given that I am awake at 0600 hrs1 on a freakin’ Saturday, but here is the first of my 491 blog postings for Blogathon 2009! Here’s how this is going to go down. I’m gonna blog some stuff; you are going to like it. To […]
Note: I’ve made this post “sticky” so it will stay at the top of my blog until Blogathon. Scroll down for my recent posts. It’s official! I’ve signed up to stay up for 24 hours straight, publishing a blog posting every half hour. And because I’ll be giving you all my bloggy goodness, you can […]
