I know I need to comment on Obama's big plan to Run Like Crazy To More Standardized Testing or whatever he's calling his plan (j.k.- totally know, RTTT for Run Teachers To Tears, right?), but my picket sign is getting heavy and I need a break. Call me

Today friends, we are going to count the ways. First, a small photo montage (click for links) to celebrate you in all your fabulousness. From the very simple To the wonderfully bedazzled To the stylishly practical Is everyone else smiling? Now, on to

I'm at the point with my love affair with office supplies, that I now get email alerts when there is a big sale. I know what you're thinking..."this girl needs more to DO!" Well, that's not true, but I probably could spend more time dissertating , reading

A few people commented on my First Year Tales of Woe yesterday and mentioned preps. Ah, preps. Just the thought of them sends me into an emotional tizzy. If tizzy is even a word that is - Big Mama Mimi uses it, so I figure it has to be legit. I mean,

Man, do I need to get me some focus! Maybe it's baby brain, maybe it's being insanely bored with my dissertation topic, maybe it's not being in a classroom filled with the energy of small people. Whatever it is, I find myself distractedly clicking on

(Wait until you see this! A successful image link! Internet - I have mastered your ***. BOOYAH!) (Feel free to exchange high fives with the person nearest to you in my honor.) Friends, I have been sharing with you intimate details of my professional thoughts

Yesterday, as I began to think about how the *** I am going to post everyday (and then maybe spent some time with other rantings such as, "What am I, insane?" or "Who wants to read me EVERY DAY anyway?" and "What have I done?"), you might have guessed

In the spirit of tooting my own organizational horn (yes, I have been in Organize Mode quite a bit this summer...a girl's gotta have some fun, right?), I will now give you a rare glimpse inside my personal life and how my obsession with all things Post

I think I may have actually topped myself in organizational nerdiness. I know, I KNOW. You thought it couldn't be done. You thought to yourself, "Self, this Mrs. Mimi truly is an organizational goddess." And then you read about this. And you thought again.

I think I might be crying...a little. Now before you read any further - no, I don't work for a massive office supplies conglomerate; no, I do not own stock in Sharpie and yes, I have a problem with obsessively purchasing office/organizational supplies.

I know that I have previously pimped myself out to advertise the sheer wonder that is the Stainless Steel Sharpie ...I mean, words cannot describe this innovation in organizational/office supplies. (Insert large sigh and a shiver of delight here.) I also

Rumor has it that we are going to be getting new seat sacks emblazoned with the school's name and mascot. However, we will NOT be receiving any paper what-so-ever. Let us break this down, shall we? 1. Seat sacks are the bomb. Seriously, I heart them intensely

In an effort to try to cushion the blow of going back to work (and going in early), today I went in about 10:00. I am absolutely NOT setting my alarm clock until I absolutely need to...and watching the Today Show while sipping on coffee is just so darn

I did it. I really did it. I went back to school. ugh. Now, many of you may think of me as a particularly dedicated, rock-star of a teacher. (Which is, of course, correct.) However, it may come as a surprise to you when I admit that I have NEVER gone

No, I am not getting a raise. Or a bonus check. Or any sort of monetary congratulations/sign of appreciation for my kick a*s year last year, so don't get excited. The dollar signs belong to me. Or at least they used to. Now they belong to Staples. I have
