A stroll down memory lane
Ahhhhh……It’s so relaxing to be back at my favorite blogspot of all time (Starbucks). *Stretches fingers* By the way, yes, I took each of these photos, making a collage on http://www.picnik.com. Sadly, Picnik’s website will close on April 19. Oh, how I’ll miss you so. I’ve been on Spring Break since March 31. Can I…

Coming up next on Meat: The Press.
Straightaway, we need to address my latest self challenge. For the past 37 days, I have been abstaining……..from carnivorous activity. Um, wait a minute: that came out wrong. Lemme clean that up a bit. What I should’ve said was that I’m not eating meat right now. However, I’m still eating fish: heavily. Who knew eating…

Does it get any better than this?!
I am happy to announce that I have a new writing spot! Oww! Announcer: “Tell him what he’s won, Johnny!” Johnny: “An all-inclusive, internet surfing package to Panera Bread (food, drink, and desert sold seperately).” So, the other day, I wore a bow tie to school. One of my friends says (in her authentic Salvadorian…

Cure-age (courage)
About the picture: This was taken somewhere in my home, and is a part of the “Big Reveal” happening in Mid-April 2012. Stay tuned! I’m not-so-silently grumbling because I’m in IHOP blogging tonight, considering everyone decided to be at Starbuck’s (boooooooo)! Were they thinking they were gonna get a cup of coffee?! Onward with…

Before we eat, let us say…..
…grace. I used to think grace was only something that was spoken before eating our family meals. Boy, was I wrong. By the way, yes, I did cook that meal (although I had to stage the shot, because it’s not time to eat, lol). It has only been through reading and teaching that I have…

El cazador de sueños (The Dream Catcher)
This time, I decided to change writing spots. I’m writing you from IHOP. Let’s begin, shall we? During a previous post, I talked about not letting go of your dreams. Well, after writing that, it fueled me to pass on that lesson to my kids (students). In August, I purchased the “Dream” wall decal for…

The Last Don
Near the end of my first class yesterday, I checked the roll as I had done nearly every previous day. As I unlocked my iPad, a CNN message populated stating that Don Cornelius was found shot dead in LA. I said aloud, “Wooooow! Are you serious?” My students immediately wanted to know what was going…

What else is there to be said?
So, there’s no picture attached to this blog post. I feel that what I have to say is more important than being distracted by a visually stimulating image. You see, I am at the point in my life where things are taking off, and there is no time for stutter steps. I am becoming more…

I almost had an abortion.
I figured that would get your attention. Now, on to the meaning of all this. I can remember there was a time when I wanted to be an Air Force pilot. That had to be one of my first dreams. As realistic as that was, it played “second fiddle” to an even bigger dream: Music…
