Starting a Blog: Day One

Uptown Hoboken

How Does This Work? 

I'm immediately feeling regret! I've deleted my first sentence a million times, and it took me five thousand google searches to come up with a sort-of-okay image for my first post. Are people going to like this thing? Am I going to like this thing? What is this? What am I doing?

For now, my plan is to just keep typing, and hopefully something good/funny/awesome will happen (fingers crossed).


Above is a cute little image (the one that took forever to find) of the city I live in, Hoboken, New Jersey. Aside from being a voracious google image searcher, I am also an elementary school teacher. Now that I think about it, my google image searching plays a great role in my job. Finding just the right diagram of the food chain can really make or break a lesson...even if it did take me over 45 minutes to find the right one. Shhh...don't judge me.


I'd like to think that I'm a pretty good story teller. My parents would probably like to think, that I like to think, that I'm a pretty good story teller...as they paid for me to major in English and minor in Creative Writing...and I never did anything with it...until hopefully now?

It just so happened that at my college Education was not considered a "real major", so I had to tack on an extra one, just to be sure that I was getting my money's worth. I went with English because at the time I had an obsession with poetry. The funny part is, is that by the time I reached the point when I had to start taking my poetry classes, I had already fallen in love with my Education classes...and didn't give a crap about writing anymore. Sorry Mom and Dad, a teacher I shall forever be!

So as an homage to my hard-earned BA, I've decided to start this blog. It's going to be an amalgamation of both English and Education, actually. So, if you love hilarious stories about little kids saying ridiculous things, keep reading!


Okay...I'm clicking the "publish" button now...it's been staring at me this whole time.
