Lately I’ve been sharing some great workout plans with you guys. I’ve done a few of them and whether they work or not well, I’ve lost 5 kilo but that could be from the stress of redocorating, detoxing and/or my flu.
The disappointments. The rejection. The setbacks. I just couldn't take it anymore. So I quit. Well, that's what I intended to do. What actually ended up happening was something entirely different that essentially saved my career and gave me a new leas
I was going to title this blog post "The Mother Lode of All Drivel" Empty your bladders and refill your drink cups. Take a visual journey with me, if you would. 'A Day in the Life of Das Coopinkeepa' I woke up to rain. Glorious, much needed rain. I must say, it didn't help my pensive mood, but more fed it. I'd planned to do yard work all day - so now what? I realized today that for the first time in my adult life - I'm talking since I was 14 - that I've had a weekday day that was my own. No job, no babysitting, no parent-sitting, no home business, no homeschooling. Just me. Doing whatever I wanted. Within reason - of course! Well, I just had my morning coffee as usual, did my morning chores. Whilst I drank my coffee, I read this. Not the whole thing, silly. I put on some music that I hadn't listened to in a long time, and friends - we had some church up in here! I slapped a few more rows on this dishcloth. I'm obsessed with dishclothes. I can't stop knitting them. I cain't. I won't. I had several nice phone conversations today. I don't avoid the phone as much lately. Could be a good thing. Read me emails. Please know, that your comments come to my email, and I read them about five times before I delete them. I do indeed. Love 'em. Thanks to my morning coffee, which is four shots of espresso and a cup of milk, I had me some 'issues' in the bathroom. Seems I've up and gotten meself a bit lactose intolerant. It's a crap shoot - (pun intended) some days my morning milk bothers me, somedays it doesn't. I bought soymilk today. Really? You want more? I'm just getting started. I baked some cherry vanilla muffins for the little lady that I met, when I went to go see her house on Sunday - that I thought I was going to buy. Oh my goodness gracious, it's a long story - suffice it to say, I love that lady, and she's my new best friend. I brought her muffins and eggs today and we chatted. She's ill, and so is her husband. Heartbreaking - but what a spirit of hope and faith about her. I really wanted to take her picture, but I didn't want to have to explain the whole blog thang. These are the muffins pre-drizzle. Fo schnizzle. I baked the boy child his favorite cookies. Lemon Butter Snaps. I wore my new 'Eat Pray Love' inspired flowy yoga looking top. I even put makeup on, and chose a bright lip color. I curled me eyelashes. Mmmmhmmm. Whilst I was out shooting my pouty lips, the mob showed up. Demanding treats. See that hose? It's the only reason my grass is green. Watering things 24/7 here. Oh you pitiful, comical thing you. I always feel so bad when it rains, this bird looks dreadful. I used to blow dry it, but it's not too fond of that anymore. Can't you just see a gold chain around this bird's neck!? Italian I tell you! Italian! I gave them some of Roy Thurman's melon. I used to eat two melons all by myself everyweek. I used to think it was ok to binge on melons - I mean - it's melon. Guess what? Overeating is overeating. Don't make no never mind whatcha be overeatin'. The birds got a lot of melon this week. Here's Vinny - struttin' his stuff. Of course, I had to give the big birds some too. Another shot of the Sopranos. I walked to the corner. And back. 1.2 mile A nice little 'get your blood pumping' walk. Join me? Here's the house next door - just in case you are interested in being my neighbor. I hope you like muffins and eggs. And crowing roosters and 4am. And spontaneous bursts of song. And bacon. I always walk to, and touch the stop sign. Getting close. Every single time I walk, someone stops and asks me if I need help. I usually reply 'not the kind that you can give me' No, I really don't say that - I just say I'm out for exercise, and they mosey on. There we go. Some hillbilly shot the sign. Seriously - hillbillies are so predictable. You sure can feel September in the air. One of my favorite months. Summer is still clinging, but fall is callin'. I always, and I mean always find random objects. This is a children's Bible story book. Ironic to me, that the story that changed the world lies here on the side of the road amid the rubble. Ain't that just like Him? A shoe. Not an old grungy shoe. But a nice shoe. A business man, nice shoe. I got the heebie jeebs but quick. How does one lose ONE shoe on the road? I'll tell you how. Kidnapping. Extortion. Murder. I hope my chickens didn't have anything to do with the devilment that shoe represents. I caught my kitty mid-meow when I got back. Splash a little cold water on your face. I'm hitching up the buggy and going to town. It's still early! The day is just getting started. Notice my fuel tank. Notice how many miles I have until I'm parked on the road. The conundrum at hand. I want to go to Grace's house (little old lady I've befriended) and deliver cherry muffins. She's four miles east. Gas station is four miles west. Everything in me wanted to turn east, but I played it safe and headed west for gas and groceries, and then to Grace's. I know - I'm disappointed in myself too. I bet I could have made it. I do this ALL the time. Despite the icy cold fountain drinks, delicious snacks and the smell of gasoline, I hate going to gas stations. It's just inconvenient. Now, the gas station is only four miles away - but look - it took 9 miles of my gas! While the gas was pumping, it began to rain again. Success! No need to visit a gas station again for 220 miles. Next stop - the bank. I was so hoping that Jake was working, cause he is a doll and a half and has a smile that could power the whole town of Lowell. Grocery shopping next.... Do you see what I see? Whilst grocery shopping, I felt a hunger pang, so I found something that sounded good. Thick and creamy Key Lime Yogurt. Obviously, I'd forgotten all about my lactose discomfort. Spoonless, I tried in vain to suck out the thick creaminess. Prettiness spotted on the way in the back door. Did the bills. I do the Ramsey envelope system. Loves it. Spent the afternoon with Glenco and the kitchen. Made homemade mac and cheese. Favorite food #2. Why in the name of me don't I make this more often? Butter lettuces with real buttermilk ranch dressing. Folks, when you are really hungry, and you eat - slowly - purposely - food is divine. I made Glenco a tuna stuffed tomato. I only make these when the tomatoes are coming out of the garden. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, but Glenny likes them. Sista Cindy (Aaron's mom) stopped by to pick up a cupcake tin. I gave her a casserole dish full of mac and cheese. I went to Aaron's apartment and picked him up for Gymnastics. I thought it would be a good time to visit with him, and bring him his cookies. I haven't seen the child since - gulp - Tuesday! We chatted endlessly. He's loving school. Making so many new friends. Being all popular and funny. My new blog found friend Cheryl met us at Gymnastics and kept me company whilst Aaron did his thang. I have some serious love for this lady. I dropped the boy child off at 10pm. It's now 11:15pm and I'm heading to bed Fred. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow.
I made this product to help me review for the Writing SOL. I use this review after I have taught these concepts. I also use it to review concepts that students may have learned in younger grades but have forgotten. Just as a special note, I find that most of my students do not realize that they should use the pronoun me to end their compound objects (object of preposition). They tend to want to say I instead of me in compound objects. That is actually one of the biggest reasons I created these cards. They usually only need a review and not a ton of practice. Please check out the preview to see what this comes with. This file is 10 pages which includes 28 task cards, an answer key, and a terms of use page. This product gives students a mixed review of the following: -quotation marks with speaker tag interrupting -who and whom -possessive pronouns -possessive nouns -subject verb agreement -superlatives -correct subject pronoun -correct object pronoun -comma in compound sentence -comma in complex sentence -semi-colon in compound sentence -confused words (than/then, our/are) I print these task cards on card stock. To help them last longer I laminate them. For easy storage, I hole-punch the corner and put them on a ring. Then I store them in labeled 6 x 9 envelopes (the ones with a clasp). I use these task cards in a variety of ways. Sometimes I use them as a warm up the day after we go over the notes I give my students. I also use them as a review by having the students play the game called Scoot. I tape the cards to desks around the room and give each student an answer sheet and clipboard. The students then rotate from card to card to write their answers. Make sure you explain that everyone will be starting on the number that is on their card. Then each student will read the card and answer it in a given amount of time. Then the teacher will say SCOOT. That is the signal word for the students to move to the next card. The teacher keeps saying the SIGNAL word SCOOT each time it is time to rotate to the next card. It is a very fun game. After the students write their answers to all of the cards, you can go over the answers. I also use these in remediation. The students work in partners/small groups to answer the cards. Finally, you can use them as a warm up, by displaying the cards on the smartboard. Students can answer a few questions daily as a quick review. Here is the link to my grammar review worksheets and quizzes. I have faithfully used these for over 10 years. They are a mixed review of skills students need to know for their 8th grade writing SOL in Virginia. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Grammar-Reviews-SOL-8th-Grade-Writing-Test-2275068

Adapted from my favorite yeasted, slow-rise focaccia recipe — overnight refrigerator focaccia — this recipe replaces the yeast with a sourdough starter. UPDATE: Video guidance is here! Watch up above or click the link below in the recipe card. What you need to make this recipe...: ...a sourdough starter. I bought mine from Breadtopia. It was easy to activate. There are no instructions on the package itself; follow the instructions on the video here. ...time. Once your starter is ready to go, this recipe requires an initial 4- 18 hour rise, followed by a second 4- to 6-hour second rise. After the initial rise (depending on the time of year and temperature of your kitchen), you can deflate the dough, and stick it in the fridge for 8 to 10 hours (maybe longer), which might help you regarding your schedule. Keep in mind, when you remove the dough from the fridge and transfer it to a pan, it will still need to rise for another 5- to 6- hours. ...water. Apparently, chlorine in water can adversely affect sourdough. Leaving water at room temperature for 24 hours will allow most of the chlorine to escape.When I am in the habit of making sourdough bread, I fill a large pitcher with water and leave it out at room temperature. I use this for my sourdough breads and starter. Truth be told, I've used water straight from the tap and have not noticed a difference. Water quantity: Depending on where you live and the time of year, you may need to cut the water back. If you live in a humid environment, for instance, I would suggest starting with 430 g water. If you are not using bread flour, you also may need to cut the water back a bit. Timing: The more I make sourdough, the more I realize so much depends on the time of year and the temperature of my kitchen. In the summer, because it is so warm, the first rise (bulk fermentation) takes between 4 - 6 hours; in the winter the first rise takes 12 - 18 hours. The key with this recipe is to make sure the first rise doesn't go too long — you want the dough to nearly double. A straight sided vessel (as opposed to a bowl) makes gauging the first rise easier. (Note: If your dough rises above double, don't despair ... recently my dough tripled in volume during an overnight rise, and the resulting focaccia was still delicious, light, airy, etc.) A few thoughts: If you are making this focaccia in the summer (northern hemisphere), use 50 g of starter and check the dough every couple of hours. If you are making this in the winter, use 100 g of starter, and plan for a long first rise. Troubleshooting: If you have issues with your dough being too sticky, please read this post: Why is my sourdough so sticky? The 4 common mistakes. Flour choice: I've been using King Arthur Flour's special patent flour — bought a 50-lb. bag of it at Restaurant Depot. Its protein content, 12.7%, is the same as the protein content of its bread flour. I also have used all-purpose flour (11.7%) with success, but I recommend bread flour, which seems to be more reliable for people especially those living in humid climates. If you only have ap flour on hand, you may consider reducing the water a bit — bread flour absorbs slightly more liquid than all-purpose flour.
