Life, Crushes, and other anomalies

Life has been crazy the last few weeks. I am in my 4th week of working from home; both jobs. I'm not enjoying it for my full time job because I enjoy interacting with my veterans. It's so much easier to coach them in their job search in person. I'm feeling indifferent about online teaching. I really miss my students and it hit me hard last night.

Summer term starts on my birthday this year, which is fine. However, all classes will be online for the summer. Plus side, I have freedom in creating my assignment schedule. I guess I'll be using Zoom a bit more this year. 🤔

Crushes come and go, but I am going to be 48 years old next month. I really should have outgrown celebrity crushes by now. Alas, I have not. Binge watching Homeland, I have developed a crush on two different actors from the show: the man who played Brody (now on Billions) and the man who plays Yevgeny. I'm done! I don't care that he's really Russian. I don't care if he's younger than me. He's freaking hot! 🥰🥰🥰
If I ever had the opportunity to meet Costa Ronin...omg...I would forever be grateful. 😊

Other anomalies? Homeland is coming to an end on April 26th. My free Showtime comes to an end on April 19th, which means I have to subscribe to see the series finale a week later. 🙀 You better believe I'm going to do it!

He is pretty cute, even if he plays a Russain villain!

Life sure is different and somewhat interesting these days. Some of my teacher friends are struggling with this online learning as they miss the personal connections with their students.

Yea. He's actually from Russia but grew up in New Zealand and Australia from what I've read.

It is difficult not being in the classroom, especially when some students don't engage well online.

Holi-versary Giveaway!

It's My Turn!!!

Edited Date to keep on top! Well, I have completed my list of what I want to stitch from my books and magazines and found that there are four (4) magazines that I have no reason to keep. So, for my very first ever giveaway, I am offering to you, my readers, a chance to win one of these fine magazines: The World of Cross Stitching (Jan 2005 - also includes a pullout Giant Mr. Men chart of the Alphabet), Cross Stitch Crazy (Feb 2005), Sampler & Antique Needlework (Spring 2009), and JCS (Mar/Apr 2009 - a duplicate that I received after purchasing a copy in the store). I have included pics of the covers of each of these magazines. I also have a progress update on Quaker Medallion . I am nearly finished with the stitching, should be done tonight, and will decide how to finish (i.e. frame, ornie, etc) it over the weekend. Here is a pic: I bet you're wondering how to enter this giveaway! Well, here are the simple steps to take for a chance to win: Post a comment here letting me k

Memorial Day~~~Giveaway

Image
 Well, I promised another giveaway, something of the patriotic sort, and decided that Memorial Day would be the date! Now for the giveaway part: it will be a SURPRISE!!!  :D To start things off, I want to pay tribute to the veterans and currently serving members of our Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force (formerly Army Air Corps), Marines, and Coast Guard. Yes, the Coast Guard is part of our defense system and even served during WWII in an active capacity. I visited one such ship in Key West last summer. ***** What is a Vet? Some Veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a Vet just by looking. What
