Memoirs of a Redhead

My freshman year of college I was introduced to TAEBO.  Billy Blanks led my friends and I through many a workout that year on the 3rd floor lounge in Miller Hall.  Taebo is so much fun!  As with anything, it got old to me at times, but I’ve gone back…

A good friend of mine doesn’t get to sleep as much as she’d like.  This seems to happen…almost all of the time.  This weekend she was super busy.  The girl was so tired yesterday that she didn’t watch 24 last night with me because she went to bed so early! …

Come with me to a third grade classroom….. There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how…

When I was going away to college in Minneapolis, people thought I was crazy.  They would say, "Don’t you know how cold it gets there?"  I certainly am not a huge fan of cold weather, but nonetheless lived in Minneapolis for 5 years.  Then when I moved to Michigan, people…

For the past year I’ve looked forward to this day.  I’ve thought about what I would do to celebrate.  So here I am and what I am doing?  No, I’m not at Caribou, but I am about to grade papers.  🙂  I actually kind of forgot about it today, until…

I think that people are under the impression that kids are the only people that pray for snow days…but they’re wrong!  Teachers pray for snow days even harder than the kids do!  After driving for an hour to get to church tonight because of the snow, I’m really prayin’ for…

On Saturday I will celebrate my 10,000th day, but today I celebrate a woman who lived her 35,475th day, and then passed into eternity.  This was Katherine Burton 2 Christmases ago, holding one of her favorite things…chocolate.  I think she may have influenced my like for chocolate;) She was my…

This is in response to a friend who texted me last night, asking if I was fasting from blogging.  I haven’t been, I just haven’t had much to say.  I know that it doesn’t make sense-especially if you know me well.  I just don’t have too much to say right…
