I have to say that I expected to hate this show. I had read that Andrew Davies took the entirety of Austen's unfinished novel and smashed it into the first ten minutes of the series. He was telling the truth--that is exactly what he did--but still I enjoyed the first episode, despite what all of…Read more Sanditon on PBS, Ep. 1
Out with the Old, and in with the New: Hair Edition
It's a new year and a new me. OK, I'm not new, but my hair color is! I decided to go bold on January 14 and color my hair a shocking blue color. I have always wanted to do this. As I said to some faculty today, I am working my way through the rainbow.…Read more Out with the Old, and in with the New: Hair Edition
A Look Back: 2009-2019
Ends of years are times to reflect, to look back on what you did and what happened to you in the previous twelve months. This year is a particularly reflective one, as I think about how much I have changed physically.

#whatprofessorswear My pumpkin family (two by my niece, one by my nephew, one by my sis, and two by me) I hope it was a happy Halloween for you. Sadly, I only had one trick-or-treater (a precious three-year-old dressed as Snow White). Where I live it was a windy, rainy night, so that might have…Read more WPW: Boo! Shriek! Gasp!
WPW: Changing Colors
#whatprofessorswear It's not only the leaves that are changing colors this fall. My hair is a new color every week. Every time I wash my hair, the color fades a little more, and the color has changed from purple to blue! The first picture was taken on October 5. The last October 23. It's been…Read more WPW: Changing Colors
WPW: At the End of the Day
#whatprofessorswear Last month I mentioned in a post that I always fail to remember to take a picture of myself at the end of the day. I was inspired by the pics a mom took of her daughter at the start of the school day and then at the end. I usually take my pictures…Read more WPW: At the End of the Day
