A little leeway: The Stories

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-stories.html

Wednesday, May 06, 2015. An extra fun part of being an editor at Popcorn Press is learning more about themes and topics embedded in Thirdlander social narratives. I try to find articles and information that tie in with the Thirdlander themes so we can do some research. Together and publish books that ring true. Because I've been editing like a madwoman the last few days (and I'm still not done btw), I've gotten to read more about:. Adults with Down Syndrome and Employment. Repercussions of Being Shy.

A little leeway: The Goals

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-goals.html

Monday, May 04, 2015. It's that time of week where I make up goals. For all of us. Come to find out, the horoscope site where I usually get the goals is down, so I'm flying solo this week. Let's see. How 'bout we make sure to vote tomorrow. If you live in this fab town? Our objective: Democrats in. Republicans out. I know it's only a primary, but we can still use this as a guiding principle. For every day life. Okay, off to work, where I personally plan to do my best and forget the rest. Video of My Mom.

A little leeway: The Creativity

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-creativity.html

Saturday, May 16, 2015. It's getting to be that time of year when we're all just hanging on by the skin of our teeth. I played jaunty tunes for about 3 or 4 minutes and was a veritable dervish of straightening. The Thirdlanders calmed down after a minute or so, sat calmly and watched my performance with an appropriate degree of awed respect. Another Thirdlander said, "That was amazing! These Thirdlanders are super rambunctious right now, but their sweetness. You have soooo many talents! Life, As Per Usual.

A little leeway: Behind the Scenes 1

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/behind-scenes-1.html

Friday, May 15, 2015. Behind the Scenes 1. Photo credit: Thirdlander MOM! There's another little blog challenge going on called Behind the Scenes. Here are 2 incidents. To share. As you know one of the Thirdlanders stapled her thumb yesterday. Behind the scenes, there was much talk about whether to pull the staple out or not. Some people volunteered, others said we should wait. A doctor ended up pulling out the staple,. If the two of you are not HIGHLY EFFECTIVE, I dont know who is. Staple into her bone.

A little leeway: The Carnival

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-carnival.html

Friday, May 01, 2015. I'm going to be working at the Frog Jump game, a new game this year, so it's anybody's guess what's in store for me there. Then I'm pulling a shift at the Bouncy House, where I'll work hard to maintain. That perfect balance between exuberant. So he's counting on me to get the cake, if there is cake. If there's not cake, I'll probably just get him a few ring pops. In conclusion, I'm super pumped for our school CARNIVAL! Let the games begin. And may the odds be ever in our favor.

A little leeway: #TwinTuesday

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/twintuesday.html

Tuesday, May 05, 2015. So, it's #TwinTuesday. This week we've got a fork and an eye dropper. So beautiful. I can't stop staring. WordSavvy has an interesting fork in her photo, called a cheese fork. All my life I've been enjoying cheese without the proper cheese accessory. I won't delay. I'll get a cheese fork today. But more importantly, I do love this #TwinTuesday pairing. I may turn this into a poster. And hang it around town. That's going to stop a few people in their tracks. View my complete profile.

A little leeway: Thursday Creativity Share

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/thursday-creativity-share_14.html

Thursday, May 14, 2015. Tonight we watched a show for the first time. It's called Naked and Afraid. Naked people try to survive in unpopulated places like the Maldives Islands. It's the number one show on television right now. We saw a woman making some cool hats out of palm fronds, so it seems like a pretty good show. Also, good pal Linda has given me the directions for. Crocheting a cool owl. I'll make several of these in the summer months to come. And one other thing. T his photograph. Video of My Mom.

A little leeway: The Club

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-club.html

Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Book Club tonight and guess who didn't finish the book. Yes, that would be me. But here's the thing. I have read this book long ago in the past. I enjoyed it. I'm not a re-reader. But I tried to re-read this book because it truly was a favorite in days of yore, though I had sketchy. Memories about its content. So I've read the cheat sheets, and I've researched the author's sad true tale. The author worked with a famous editor for awhile on his book. Ultimately. Life, As Per Usual.

A little leeway: February 2015

http://alittleleeway.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 28, 2015. The Orphan Master's Son. I just finished The Orphan Master's Son. Man alive. I'm still reeling from the amazing ending. Well done, Adam Johnson. Your Pulitzer Prize was well deserved, imho. Friday, February 27, 2015. Yesterday I taught a lesson on transition sentences. I used two texts. About Booker T. Washington as resources for examples of great transition sentences. Booker T. Washington lived from 1856 to 1915. (I think). He was born into slavery. Indoor recess yesterday s...
