Day 4 of the 16th year:  I spend more time on creating PowerPoints than ever.  I am addicted...actually called the PowerPoint Queen because I create so many of them.  I feel centered when I'm focused on a direction and can simply research and get the "essence" out of an idea or subject and then translate to students.  So this is how I spend my summers - fitting in the PowerPoint around everything else.  Interesting.  Who says teachers get summers off?

I love art history.  Me and my friend the Seated Scribe in Paris 2011.

 I still get excited looking for those projects and ideas that will make a student turn her head...like a cute boy walking by...
