- My “Real” Age is 24.4? So I was lured into this silly Real Age test because I wanted it to tell me that I don’t have to grow up, after all. Survey says I’m actually 3 years younger, in terms of health. Wooo. The questions asked were really interesting: measuring health/stressy levels according to all sorts of things that we […]
- I Just Want to Play I am an eight year old trapped in a twenty seven-year old’s body. I really just would like to play now, please. But I have 3 weeks of class and about 10 papers left to write.

Right now I’m feeling like a mass of dots aching to be connected by a smarter crayon. But today it was nice to take an hour long road trip with my Mama to the Trader Joe’s in Old […]
- I’m Not A Big Old Adult (This is Part 2 of the following post: Career Day at the Middle School) It’s official. I may be 27, but, I’m not a big old adult. This week I received a thick envelope from Piccowaxen Middle School. Inside I found 28 full-paged letters from students saying, “thank you” for coming to their school to […]
