Just another blog…
This morning, we awoke to a beautiful blanket of white, glorious snow! It started snowing yesterday afternoon and continued throughout the night. All-in-all, Roanoke got about 9 inches! Funny that the first (and more than likely last) snowfall of the “season” happened during the first few days of March! Click the above picture for a [...]

“Vienna” by Billy Joel (you may have heard this in the movie “13 Going on 30″):

Good stuff. I don’t mind it too much when I have songs stuck [...]

Hamster stalking. It’s what she does best. We’ve figured out what Roxie’s hierarchy of wants and motivations is. First: car rides. Second: hamster stalking. Third: food.

Once again, apologies for my two-week absence. I know it’s no excuse, but I had a semi-long-term sub job that included actually creating some lesson plans, which required spending some of my time at home working! Imagine that! I guess I just need to figure out how to manage my time better to allow myself [...]
