#2 Thingy Dingy...my experience in making this thing

    Here I go again, and its past my bedtime! Blogging to the whole world is new to me. I have read a few, but never created my own. Of course I have Facebooked to the select few for many years now. You know, the usually bragging about my kids, my life, the multitudes of animals I have amassed.  But this is different-- potentially many, many more stalkers. Well, I''ll deal.
     The name of my blog intends to show where I'm reporting from; my little chunk of the world which is probably much different from that of most of the students in my class. I have several kids. I have owned a pizzeria. I have audited taxes for the IRS. I have 2 pet goats. I just found my 1/2 brother. I have been out of college since 1994. I have lived!
    The setup was easy enough my cat could do it. Really, look out, you may see a blog from one of my cats. Hopefully they don't try to hack this one.

 TOO LATE!!!!!!

 My avatar does not not resemble me. She is a younger version of me, but much blonder. She has had several extra shots of expresso in her coffee, hence enlarging her head which is ready to blow. 

WATCH OUT! AND DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!

Avatar me loves coffee and New York (my home for many years), just like me. That shirt was well worth the two free Doppleme coins I had to spend...so glad I took the time to search through the wardrobe, too. Her jeans are hideous, but they are a shout out to my mom who would love them. This I know because they resemble my K-4 wardrobe, before I gathered the sense to say oh #$%* no! 

     I think that giving students the opportunity to set up a blog in the Language Arts classroom would be a fun activity versus having them record a daily entry into a paper journal. Since so many kids lives revolve around social media it would be something they would look forward to doing. I do find this blogging thing quite easy, kind of like that stream of conscious writing exercise we all are made to do in junior high. I think the biggest problem I will encounter in this project is figuring out when to shut up!
