April Showers

Life has an interesting way of taking care of me. My husband adores me, I live in a great two story house, and we own the sweetest dog. Nothing Earth shattering ever happens to me, and the more I think about it, the more I like it. There would be a tremendous amount of responsibility with fame, fortune, disaster, etc. More power to people who put their lives out there all of the time.

I absolutely love my job, and that is perhaps my greatest success to date. Seriously, how many people actually look forward to pulling into the work parking lot and working all day. Teaching is truly a calling and for any teachers out there that don't love their students and co-workers need to go to another school, or they need to find another job entirely.

My kids are teaching me things all the time. At this moment they are my greatest inspiration for my writing. So much life is being lived in the classroom. Teenagers are so passionate about the day to day things; they remind me to fully live every day.

Enough of work right now:). My current personal obsessions have shown me that I am a Science Fiction fan through and through. The graduate class I'm in is all about humanity in SF. It is really about time that "serious" literary critics appreciate what SF has to offer. I know there are plenty of essay about that very thing, but there is really something to some SF.

I haven't really seen any movies that merrit a review like usual. So instead I am going to talk about my new favorite artist:

Justin Timberlake is a true entertainer and artist. I had a good friend in college that tried to show me the bright starlight that is J.T., but it took a singin' cup of soup skit on SNL to start to change my mind. His newest CD is the guilty pleasure that I listen to in my car, and I totally plan on watching him host the Kid's Choice Awards on Nickelodeon...Okay, that last thing I'm not going to do, but I do love Justin!

All right, that is it for now. Family Guyis on and that Stewie Griffin is hilarious.
