Making This Up as I Go

About Me

I’m a Christian.  A Texan.  A homeschool mother of 3.  I’m married to my high school sweetheart.  I get a kick out of cheesy sci fi (long live Dr. Who).  Chocolate is my weakness.  Writing is my passion.  My family is my rock.  I exercise to keep my sanity and my health.  I crochet and quilt to seek calmness and tradition.   Small town is in my blood.

 I love to learn new things and attempt new adventures.  I usually have a pile of books that I’m reading.  I always have another pile in my head that I’m writing. My to-do list will never be completed.

    Dr. Who! Were you ever a Who Fan Family?

    I haven’t thought about that in years!

    Greetings!

    I read parts of your blog, and enjoyed it. I came to see if you mentioned which TKD division you were in. Tae Park? ATI? We are in Grand Master Tae Park’s organization, and I’ve been working to help raise money for the travel expenses to the Michigan tournament in Novemeber. ;)

    Hey Sheila! We’re in the World Taekwondo Federation. That tournament sounds fun…we haven’t competed in any tournaments. Yet. :) Good luck with your fundraising.

    Hi Jean!

    This was so neat to read. I’ve never seen your blog nor your picture! It is very nice to put your name and family picture together.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi there!
    My name is Deasy and I run the Percy Jackson fansite Percyquest.com . I heard that you are going to be running a Camp Half-Blood soon from Topher at bookpeople.com and I was hoping that you could give me some information about it so I can add your branch to my site.

    Thanks,
    Deasy

    Hello,
    I see that you did a Camp Half-Blood with a group. My sixth graders are finishing up a unit on Greek mythology. Of course, The Lightning Thief was a piece of it. (Many students have gone on to read the rest of the series.) As a culmination to the unit, we are having our own Camp Half-Blood. After reading your plans, I am curious about how you implemented the Oracle and the quest. I would love to converse with you through e-mail if you would be willing.

    Smiles,
    Mandie
