Pizza!

I’m experimenting with my first homemade pizza tonight. I’m using Pillsbury pizza dough out of the can (taking the lazy woman’s way out) and brushed it with olive oil, a jar of pesto, 3 cloves of chopped garlic, a small bag of shredded mozzarella, blue cheese, and pine nuts. It smells good, but [...]

BS Salad

I’m not usually a big salad-eater. I don’t care much for lettuce and end up drowning it in dressing. Spinach salads aren’t so bad, and if it’s got all the right stuff on it (more than just dressing) I’ll order it in a restaurant. I hardly ever make them at home though. [...]

Pictures!

I’m still trying to get used to Flickr and once I figure it out, there will be a link on the right-hand side of this page to the photos. Until then, click the above link for pictures from Jackson!

The blow-by-blow

I need to write about my Jackson Hole trip. I’d be satisfied with a brief overview, but there are a couple of people out there waiting for the blow-by-blow description. You know who you are. So brace yourself for a long one!
Day 1
I drove down to Atlanta, did some laundry and dropped [...]

Wonderful Wyoming

I made it back from Wyoming late last night and am still really tired. It was a wonderful trip, got to see my brother and meet everyone he’s been working with all summer, I worked on the Women’s Build house one day, saw a lot of the Grand Tetons and Old Faithful, ate some [...]

Heading West

It just occurred to me that tomorrow marks one year since I’ve been in Knoxville. A lot’s happened in that year! I never thought I’d be comfortable running programs in a special ed class for 3 hours a week or directing a weekend-long camp, giving presentations at professional conferences (and organizing some of [...]

Arrrrrr!

I finally went to see the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie today and loved it! I couldn’t keep up with the overly-complicated “plot,” but it was a fun and visually stunning movie. The first one is still the best, but this was an exciting wrap-up to the trilogy. And seriously, [...]

Not again

I’m sick of this apartment.
I have mold again and it’s disgusting. What did they expect when they built half of the apartments into the ground?! I pulled everything out of the living room closets and went up to the office. They’re going to come tomorrow, but what can they really do? [...]

Adventure of the week

Well, I think I’m finally recovered from the 30 miles of hiking we did this weekend! Ok, so it was over 2 days, but still, that’s a lot of walking. It was great to catch up with Angela after 2 years and meet her husband, Chris. I’d met him very briefly at [...]
