Wreck the Halls With Cows On Harleys

Submitted by JeannieWatt on Tue, 2008-12-02 15:13.

As I begin seasonal preparations, I have come to the conclusion that my house is a wreck. And I don’t even have kids to blame. There was a time when it wasn’t a wreck, but I think that was before we moved in. Right now we are in the process of transforming my daughter’s old bedroom into the computer room. We’ve already transformed my son’s room into my husband’s secret lair. So that meant a lot of stuff had to be displaced. But that doesn’t explain the piles of mail on the kitchen table, does it?

What Are We Reading?

Submitted by Samantha Hunter on Wed, 2008-12-03 16:36.

I had a student last night, while tutoring, ask me how I managed to come up with so many different ways to say one thing, or how I could even know that many different ways to say one thing, LOL. It was actually an interesting question, how we develop facility of language, a large vocabulary, and I felt for her, just starting out in her education, and having so far to go. But when I asked her what she read, she said "not much" -- mostly, she does school work, and life, but reading is not a habit.
