Well, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and dusting off my laptop and submitted my entry. The idea of this one was fun and I hope I honored Alan's memory.

Over my summer break I finally read and finished the 6 book series of The Lying Game. While it's a young adult series, it's pretty good and much better than the failed TV series.

So long as my few stories survive... I'll be fine. However, backing them up now might not be a bad idea.

Okay, a while back Public Storage ran a commercial that all my family & friends were like... "OMG! That's her house!"
I collect unicorns. Yes... you read that correctly... I collect unicorns. I have been doing so since I was 14. Though I've lost a few pieces I still have over 400 of assorted shapes and sizes. I have paintings, prints, stuffed animals, statues, figurines, jewelry, t-shirts, a blanket, a table & The Last Unicorn on blu-ray. My husband supports my collection by buying me more pieces all the time.
So, here's that commercial. It's pretty much how my home looks.

I saw this thread and got scared about what I would see. However, I do have two names I wish to add.
The first was my least favorite, my 3rd grade teacher, Miss Lawson. I was in a 1, 2, 3 combination class because I was labeled as "gifted" so I was put into the MGM (Mentally Gifted Minors) program. This was pre GATE for those who are more familiar term. I hated her & the class. I was often made to feel stupid. I did so much to get kicked out I was nearly expelled.
The following year I was removed from hell and put into Miss Slaton's class. She was my 4th grade teacher & I loved her. She taught me so much especially about life & never giving up. She had MS and it never stopped her. Hell, it didn't even slow her down. She was the reason I became a teacher.
Now, my first class I ever taught was 3rd grade. I busted my butt to make it a great experience for my kids and I hope I did. Now I'm teaching middle school and the other day a former student said I was the best teacher at the school and that his friend was lucky to have me.
I hope I'm never someone's worst teacher... but I'm sure if I'm not already... I will be.

Sanity. My personal sanity.
Writing has saved me from the brink of depression and disaster. It has given me courage and hope. Writing is my lifeline.

The only book I never finished, but skimmed was Catcher in the Rye. Save your praise. I don't like this book. I hate it worse than Heart of Darkness & that I did finish in college.

I've know about it for a while and decided to join. I'm still trying to navigate this one as figure out what you do & don't allow. Might not be one who posts a lot, but I'm hoping to have a piece more worthy of this site.
