Stacey’s SOLS: Voting
Showing-off My "I Voted" Sticker Originally uploaded by teachergal I woke up at 4:37 a.m. Nope, don't have to be up yet, I thought. I turned over and attempted to go back to bed. By 4:40 a.m., I realized it wasn't going to happen. I rolled over, grabbed my iTouch, and started checking my e-mail… Continue reading Stacey’s SOLS: Voting

Ruth’s SOLS: Shopping Fools.
On Saturday morning the little guy wanted to join me on some errands. I relented. Even though I was looking forward to some time alone, just browsing through stores, I chose him instead. I told myself, Someday you'll have plenty of time to browse through stores, but you won't always have a little boy who… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: Shopping Fools.
Stacey’s SOLS: De-icing
I opened the door from my apartment building, dragging my granny cart behind me. I inhale deeply, breathing-in the crispness of the autumn morning. I look around me and smile. I'm surrounded by golds, reds, and oranges: the colors of my favorite season. I walk down the pathway to my car and notice a thick… Continue reading Stacey’s SOLS: De-icing

Ruth’s SOLS: Good Mail.
It's unexpected time alone right now. I was headed off to grab my laptop in order to get some work done and not be sucked into the blog world. On the way, I stumbled across the pile of today's mail. Sticking out was a manila envelope with just an "R" visible, written in the black… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: Good Mail.
