About

Teacher. Cat freak. Fan of tie-dye and Birks. Believes in laughter, irony, the power of ice cream, and topography. Traveler of doctors’ offices and hospitals. Will read Gaiman for food. Wants to be Laura Roslin when she grows up.

For the left-brained among us, I’m a high school English teacher, Mock Trial coach, former Speech coach, living and working in SW Minnesota. I love my school; loathe the landscape. Or, more precisely, the lack thereof. I’m a trees, water, and topography woman living on the desolate prairie.

It’s done horrible things to my psyche, but fortunately, teaching keeps me busy enough so that no one notices.

I’m married, I have a houseful of cats, I love to play chess and Trivial Pursuit™ and just about any card game (known or unknown), I love politics and debate and social commentary, mystery novels (literate) and all types of music (except modern Country) and literature (except for Victorian).

I tend to peruse the AP listserv and came across a message and then linked to your blog. I enjoyed reading!

Thank you much, Jasmine! The AP Listserv is a great resource…and not just for lesson plans!
