Oh my goodness, life has changed a lot! I was going to start a whole new blog because I wanted to change the focus of this one. Then I reread my older posts and felt sentimental, so I decided to just keep adding to this one.
Major Life Changes:
- No longer a Teacher, now I work in higher education and don't do lesson plans/homework grading
- I've started my Master's to work towards teaching in higher education
- I've decided to focus more posts on traveling advice/traveling humor and mishaps while traveling
- I met so many New Year's Resolutions! I can't wait to share.
- I'm still sarcastic, that hasn't changed.
Love ya,
The New Mrs. B

In preparation for the mass dedicated followers I foresee in the future, here is an explanation for my title...
Currently I teach English, Drama, and Creative Writing...like a true amateur. However, the one thing I've learned is that I hate seeing gum in people's mouths, especially students. So every year I have to explain that I don't allow gum in my classroom (it's also preventative to avoid it on the bottom of desks, on thermostats, and the floor...it's apparently hard to aim and spit into the trash can), and every year it's a struggle to get students to understand. Therefore I do a demonstration and show how obnoxious and distracting it is. Well, when I went to a church service one day and saw an older couple come up to speak, I could tell they were extremely nervous. Why? Because they were CHOMPING on their gum very fast. I have no idea what they said, but I do know their gum was a green color. Thus, my new goal, is to promote NOT chewing gum when you will be speaking in front of more than 1-3 people, or when you're in my classroom. Thank you in advance for spitting it out INTO the trash can.
Now, for the amateur part...I like to act, a lot. Sometimes I get so caught up in it, I just make up answers. I also am not arrogant enough to consider myself a professional at anything, but I am just vain enough to think that I have learned a little and that someone might be interested in reading it. Plus, we always hear the professional talk, maybe it's time to listen to an amateur share what they think may be helpful advice?
Here are my credentials:
- Teacher: 2 years
- Advisor: 1 year and Counting
- Wife:
almost 3 months (I know I know, still in the "honeymoon" phase..but maybe it will help you remember what that's like)2 years! (still the "honeymoon" phase, sorry) - Education: 2 Bachelors, AND 1/6 Masters (in progress)
- Christian: 13 years with many hiccups + 2 years = 15 years
- Dating: Did that a lot (so you can also count break-ups)
- Traveling: 9 countries and still going + 1 = 10
- Blogging: soo many, and none that have kept going (we'll try it again)
- Time as Oprah: 1 Halloween and it was successful
- Theatre: 13 years + 2 years = 15 years
- Humor: Constant
- Children: NONE, but I teach yours so I can totally tell you what you're doing wrong...(yes, I know how offensive that is. But it's also sorta funny, yeah?)
See? I can definitely be trusted ;) Let's let the life lessons, the advice, and the spitting out of gum get started!
Lesson learned,
Mrs. B
