I know a month has passed, but a new school year has begun! I feel optimistic about this one. I’ve been teaching music for 9 years and added art to the roster for four. It really is a lot of fun, and these kids are so talented! Who knows what they can do with more practice?
My Little Old Man
My cat’s name is Kitty, not because my family isn’t creative, but because he was a stray that we didn’t think we’d keep. Continue reading
This Would’ve Been a Story: The Camera
When I was a kid, I always enjoyed making movies. We had a VHS camera, and I’d always try to film something with my reluctant family, even going as far as to pen an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol that no one wanted to act out.

Here We Go!
Today is our Spring Show – a Hollywood theme! Anxious and excited as usual. I brought a photo of my grandma to sit in my director’s chair.

Mural Update

So my aquarium was leaking. We rushed out to get a new one. And more nonsense happened.

Send in the Clowns
Those who know me know that I like learning about fish. I’ve had clownfish and a yellow tail damsel since 2011 and I dream of having a 75 gallon beauty one day. Instead of that, I had a 30 gallon hexagonal tank (a gift) which made cleaning a problem. I had to stand on a stool in order to reach deep into the dirty water to scrub the glass while trying to avoid bites from my feisty clownfish named Hannibal. Continue reading
Backdrop in Progress
Currently painting the backdrop for this year’s spring show. This may take longer than I thought…
