Girls Weekend! Yes, I’m so jam packed! Last night, I hung out with my friend Faith from work. Today, I’m hanging out with a friend from college – Mavican. If you are following sketchyscribe, she comments quite frequently. Later tonight, unicorn woman is spending the night in the guest room. I’ve not said too much…
I’ve sent you this song, I’m sure. Aunt Bee had it on her Facebook feed a few days ago. Thought you’d enjoy some of Kelly Clarkson’s wisdom. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/Vf43LCtGrj4
The famous singer, Sting, was once an English teacher named Mr. Gordon Sumner. Here is my favorite of his songs. As with most of the songs I post, I’ve included the words to the song. It’s kind of a romantic tune, so just ignore that stuff. Think instead of the last time we went for…

I had a nice long talk with big brother today. He is doing so well. He’s going for his commercial license so he can drive city buses. He’s very proud of how he’s taking care of himself and getting his finances straight. He’s even talking about going back to college and going for a business…
You are so lucky to have a big brother. And you have two! I always wanted a brother. Grandma was pregnant when I was about five, but the baby (who was a boy) went away. She still gets sad about it sometimes. You never forget a child you carried in your womb. I thought if…
As part of www sketchyscribe.com celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week, I thought I should bring in the heavy lifters – the teachers who “taught” so well, they stopped teaching classes and started teaching the masses.
