I was originally just going to talk about the Wayside School series, but here we are. Did you guys read those? They’re each a collection of short stories that take place at Wayside school, a school that, instead of being
Foundational Books: Alien Secrets by Annette Curtis Klause
Woo, squiders, it took me a while to figure out what this book was. I mean, I remembered the book itself–I read it probably a dozen times as a kid. I remembered the main character’s name. I did not, apparently,
Foundational Books Intro
Good morning, squiders! I wanted to introduce a series I’m going to be doing over the next few weeks (and then on and off afterwards) where I go back and look at books that have been meaningful to me throughout
PowerPoint is Hard and Boring
Happy Tuesday, squiders! It’s a busy week around these parts (again) (we may have overbooked ourselves just a tad) but it’s fine. Everything is fine. ::nervous laughter:: So, if you guys have been around the last few months, you know

Library Book Sale Finds: The Glimpses of the Moon
Howdy, squiders! I dug back into my collection of library book sale books and came out with The Glimpses of the Moon by Edith Wharton, circa 1922. This is another one of those books where I try to imagine what
Movie Round-up
I don’t get around to a lot of movies (a combination of small, mobile ones combined with just not liking to sit still for that long in one go), but I have actually watched three in the last week. Madness,
Epcot and Expectations
Happy Tuesday, squiders! I am so glad to be home! (Although I am behind on everything, but what else is new?) You see, last week we took the smallish, mobile ones to the most expensive happiest place on Earth. I
