Hello, my name is Quilldancer and I am an idiot. I have been an idiot all my life, but am usually able to bluff my way through most things and convince people otherwise. Unfortunately this morning events conspired against me. I finally came up against something that I could not bluff my [...]

Welcome to another day in my life. As a rule I trip through the blogosphere laughing and poking fun at myself and/or anything else that tickles my fancy. I do that because I live a charmed life and I know it. I am loved. I have more friends than I can [...]

Friday afternoon grocery shopping just outside the main gate of the air force base: I stopped to look at a product. An very tall, very wide airman dressed in fatigues said, “Excuse me.” I took a step to the left. He grabbed something from the shelf, dropped it in the cart [...]

My father suffered many years with bad teeth. The day he finally came home with his perfectly straight, perfectly white store bought choppers he was bursting with pride. He grinned big and wide, snapped his teeth together for all of us to see, and exclaimed — repeatedly — how wonderful they were.
Within the [...]

Cindra said, “the apron is in the mail,” and of course I believed her. She is my beloved niece. Except for biting me when she was two years old she has always been quite wonderful. So, when the apron never arrived at my home, I began to suspect one of my neighbors [...]

I woke at twenty minutes to eight this morning. That is not good since I am usually up by five-thirty and at work by seven. Luckily, I don’t have to be at work until eight, at which time I am to be standing in front of my class line, saluting the flag with [...]

Last Friday my reading class finished the big nasty quarter final reading placement test. I teach 5th graders who are reading at a 3rd grade level and I am supposed to be helping them catch up to grade level toot-sweet. This is something I have a history of doing well.
So, imagine my surprise [...]

Church Picnic Update:
Well, I called a friend for directions to this park I’d never heard of, because I have been driving past it’s supposed location for ten years and have never seen it. My friend says, “Do you know where Freedom Park is?” Excited, I say, “Yes!” Friend responds. “Well, that’s [...]

The sun is shining. The sky is blue. It is currently 66 degrees outside and a high of 74 is predicted. I am off to the park for the Pastor Appreciation picnic. Burgers and hot dogs will be grilled. Volleyball and Frisbee will be played, and fun will be had.

The Fright Feast was wonderful, but Saturday found me scratchy voiced and suffering a sore throat. All that cackling and screaming took it’s toll. The black fingernail polish came right off my nails, but it has stained my cuticles, so my fingernails look filthy.
The black hairspray proved to be a bit more permanent [...]

I just got home from Autumn Fest, and the question has been answered. If you recall, I was wondering if I was a creepy storyteller, or a storyteller who told creepy stories — and the answer is a resounding YES!
I spray painted my hair black, drenched myself in white pancake makeup, drew red-rimmed [...]

I was standing in front of my class today talking to them about rounding numbers. I stepped backward to use the whiteboard and fell. One second I was standing. The next I was staring at the cealing. The only explanation I have for this is thick air. Somebody dropped a [...]

All fifth grade students at our school keep check registers. They earn “credits” for good behavior and are assessed “debits” for bad behavior. Today as we came in from lunch I asked the class to get ready for Science. Most of them were so excited about the idea (not) that they continued [...]

Some days you’re the windshield;
Some days you’re the bug.
I went to work this morning without my lunch. That wouldn’t have been too bad, but I’d elected to skip breakfast and was rather hungry by lunch time. I decided that my forgetfulness deserved rewarding, so I hopped in the car for the three block [...]
