In fact, if you ever see a post of mine, I’m sorry you weren’t supposed to see thatto.

Of course, I say all this as someone who has turned to audiobooks in recent years and is trying to get back into reading for fun. I’ve just gotten used to sewing or painting while listening to an audiobook or podcast. So do with that what you will.

I worked at a library and I can’t properly emphasize just how crucial reading is personally and to a society.

The uneducated are easier to control. Knowledge is power. Don’t let them have that power over you.

Literacy is so crucial to our ability to learn. Working with young children, many of them in kindergarten, I try hard to instill a love of reading with them. Reading is how we preserve and transfer knowledge. It’s how we share stories and maintain records.

She spent an extra hour every week after school with 4 or 6 of us who were really struggling and taught us using phonics and repetition.

I stood there dejected, embarrassed. We never talked about it. But I know everyone else in the room saw

I also can never remember that Caesar salad dressing is made with anchovies.

Last time I had Caesar salad my mother said, “are you sure you’re okay with that there’s anchovies in it”?

I had confused anchovies for artichokes.

I can see it now.

“I hate gay Halloween. What do you mean you’re the marble wall from the remodeled Lincoln bathroom in the White House”.

I get it, one has a 2 and a half month baby, the other lives and hour away. But the people who live close to me didn’t invite me to join them when we talked about their plans. I’m so sad.

I’m planning on messing it up tomorrow for a rocky horror magenta costume but i feel like i have to leave it not super messy while I’m out during the day so I don’t look crazy. Though, with my bangs, I wasn’t sure what to do so I curled them and they look a little crazy.
