ruth’s solc: recovery food.

Let me begin by revealing that I am a really bad taker of naps.  Actually, that is an understatement.  I doubt there are many out there who are worse than I.  Seriously. There are some who can nap for 15 minutes and wake up refreshed.  I live with one of these kinds of people.  For… Continue reading ruth’s solc: recovery food.

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 2

I finished attaching ribbon, to the wooden boxes I painted, earlier this morning. I decided I had gotten enough practice painting practice. Therefore, it was time to bring out the stencil and have a go with the stenciling. I've been wanting to do stenciling (using a template!) for years. However, I always made excuses why… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 2

Ruth’s SOLC: Studio Desk

  The first day of March.  The first day of the Slice of Life Challenge (SOLC).  The first entry I've ever written in a Moleskine Notebook.  And I've found myself paying attention (even more) to the everyday special of an ordinary Saturday afternoon.  All of this wide-awake living has made it difficult to choose the… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLC: Studio Desk

Slice of Life Student Challenge Announcement

My fourth grade colleague is going to be doing the Slice of Life Story Challenge with her class as well. Therefore, I made this flier to go home with the students tomorrow. It's pretty text-heavy (so I split it into two pages for my kiddies), but I figured I'd post it like this in case… Continue reading Slice of Life Student Challenge Announcement

Slice of Life Story: It’s in the Blue Bag

My First Sunday Times in RI Originally uploaded by teachergal I slid my feet into my flip flops and grabbed my keys from the "Do Not Forget" Key Holder that is around my door knob. I didn't bother to dead-bolt the door since I knew I'd be back in a couple of minutes. I walked… Continue reading Slice of Life Story: It’s in the Blue Bag

Slice of Life: Christina

Working on a Weekend Originally uploaded by teachergal It took a very special person to fill-in my Grandmother’s Speed Dial Spot on my cell phone after she passed away last year. In fact, I didn’t reassign the #9 spot until mid-summer. I finally gave it to Christina, my former colleague, co-author, and dear friend. So,… Continue reading Slice of Life: Christina

wn entry: quote challenge.

Stacey challenged a writer's notebook entry on a quote.  I've been thinking ever since then, What quote will I write about? Funny how Friday afternoons work -- I'm selecting one completely different from those I've been reflecting on all week. There is a magnificent artist in you just waiting to be brought forth.  You can… Continue reading wn entry: quote challenge.

Slice of Life Story: Overflow

I decided to make "Jackie's Coffee" this morning, which is named after one of my cousins who passed away a few years ago. Basically, Jackie's Coffee is half a cup of coffee + half a cup of milk. I decided to get "fancy" and steam the milk with my Tassimo this morning: I figured that… Continue reading Slice of Life Story: Overflow

Slice of Life Story: Spewing Sink

I pumped the soap bottle and felt the dollop of soap fall onto my fingertips. I rubbed my hands together and got ready for the lather to be washed away. However, when I put my hands on the knob of faucet at Saint-Germain by Molecule nothing came out. I turned it both ways, but nothing… Continue reading Slice of Life Story: Spewing Sink
