The Curious Case of Hello Kitty
One of my co-workers has a love of all things Hello Kitty which makes me automatically love her because if you like Hello Kitty then you automatically come into a relationship with 100 bonus points. If, however, you don’t like Hello Kitty then I have to question your ability to be the ...

Delurk Already, Would Ya?
Here it is, Thursday night and I haven’t once remembered this week that it’s some sort of delurking week. You know what that means? You’re supposed to comment or something. Perhaps you’re supposed to go out and get those difficult-to-find Eggo Waffles. Or maybe you are ...

Trippy. Like A Wonka Experience.
Many years ago when I was still teaching in the classroom I found my people. My people came to me. I didn’t have to go looking for them because tra-la-laaaa I am just that ridiculously lazy. For some reason, a bunch of young teachers and I all seemed to click together one year. We were ...

Guilt. It Does A Body Good.
First of all, can I please just mention that I am enjoying finding the time to write every day during the month of November but that it leaves little time to actually have the life I want to live and write about? Geez. It’s exhausting to just finally sit down at 9:53 to write after a full ...

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
It’s not fair that I work all day and am the last one home. It’s not fair that the television is already spoken for and I have to watch whatever other people have on it. It’s not fair that the Discovery Channel was on for a really long time. But what IS fair is that I ...

My Top 25
Well, since it’s SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY and there is FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL on and there was CHILI… ok, since you get the point with what my Sunday has been filled with I think it’s time to get on with the show. I wanted to know what songs I’ve listened to the most ...

No Context Text Messages
When I look at my iPhone (yes, I say I have an iPhone because I waited 4 whole months to finally get that thing and visited it in the store several times just to say, “HI, LITTLE BABYCAKES. MOMMA’S GONNA BUY YOU SOON.” ) I can see the first line of the latest text messages I ...

Writing LOVE
Today is a day when people are celebrating TWLOHA which is a rather funny looking acronym for the real name of the movement: To Write Love On Her Arms . It’s dedicated to helping those who struggle with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. People who struggle with that need to ...

Everyone in Particular
When the first AIDS quilt was created in 1987 it took just a little time to reach me where I lived in Chicago. It was a time when sex, as a typical teenage subject, was not at all taboo. But at the time I recall my friends and I wanting to ignore what was going on in our world. For those of you ...

The Need to Inspire
Since many people have left cards and inspirational notes inside the purses they’ve donated to the Purse Drive (Hey, fellas? I know you come here and get tired of the girly talk, but just for one second remember that FOOTBALL LASTS FOR HOURS and it takes the average person 2.37 minutes to ...

One Small Purse Details
This is a sticky post so the Purse Drive details can be visible for all newcomers. Purses should be no larger than 8.5 x 11 so measuring with a piece of paper should be easy to use for measurement. Kelly Wickham P.O. Box 9465 Springfield, IL 62791

THAT Kind of Day
5:00 I’m up. I’m pissed that I’m up. I can’t believe that once again, I am up. 6:00 I realize that I have to dress nicely today because I’m taking some students to a special luncheon with the Ambassador to Swaziland. 6:10 Google Maps: Where exactly is ...

Purses & Inspiration
Here is a sampling of the purses we’ve received (for those that don’t know, the details are here ) and even one of the inspirational sayings that is attached to a bag. We’re opening shop this Thursday. We, the seven gals and I, are peeing are pants with excitement. Ok. ...

The New Me
Since the amazing Mrs. Kennedy has kicked off this is National Blog Posting Month and there are many visitors here for the first time, I thought it would be a great time to take stock of what’s going on in my life, introduce (or re-introduce) myself, and add some things to my bio that I ...

Is This A School Standard?
Last night between saving baby seals, dusting the baseboards of the entire house, and creating a perfect, gourmet dinner I got to talking with a friend about school standards. Except we actually went out to dinner where I ordered the very best curried rice with chicken that my tongue has ...

Pre-Thanksgiving
Even though I know half the crap e-mail I get is a hoax… Even though sometimes people never take you off their e-mail address lists… Even though I used to go to church with some of the people who still have me in their “sight” and want to pass things along…  ...

Bomb Dropping
I suppose I could wax poetic about the events of the last few days but honestly? I just don’t have the energy. And yet, here it is the month of NaBloPoMo where I vowed to write every single day of this month. I realize I dropped a bomb on readers the other day when I mentioned that ...

This Is How It Starts, People
You know how you get that itch, that desire to have a dog? And it’s always the same thing. It starts with seeing a puppy somewhere and telling yourself that no one in the whole wide world will ever love that puppy as much as you will love that puppy. This never happens in those mall ...
