The Kate's Meow: Hide and Seek: Cat Antics
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2011/06/hide-and-seek-cat-antics.html
Sunday, June 12, 2011. Hide and Seek: Cat Antics. First, I have to confess that I'm cross-posting this from Cat Lady Kate. Which, by the way, you should check out if you haven't already. I'm using that site not only to enable my cat lady-ness, but to raise money. Just click on the ads or the Amazon links). Anyway, here are some Hide and Seek stories you might enjoy:. No idea. My guess is that he was chasing a bug, but still! That was pretty silly. Now that would be a real tragedy! Please visit my blog at.

The Kate's Meow: February 2011
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Long time, no write! It's been a long time, but I'm finally back! Cue groans and boos) The last eight months have been good, but very busy. August and September were filled with pet sitting. I spent a lot of time taking care of some lovely kitties (other than Hide and Seek)! A trip to the ICU in September. I had an insulin pump malfunction (which was partly user error! That caused me to go into DKA. In October, I started a new job. I'm now teaching at Westwood College! Fairfax...

The Kate's Meow: Where does the time go?
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2011/06/where-does-time-go.html
Friday, June 3, 2011. Where does the time go? Well, my goodness! How did that happen? The year is slipping by. My current exploits: I'm teaching an ESL class at NOVA. It's a low-level reading/writing course. Our first class was Thursday, 6/2. I'm excited to work with these students! I'm also publishing a new blog: Cat Lady Kate. There's also a Cat Lady Kate facebook group. I'm still reading a lot. No surprise there! I recently posted a recommended reading list on The Book Junkie. I have a lot of experien...

The Kate's Meow: April 2011
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 5, 2011. What does define me? I might stay up until the wee hours reading. Or grading papers. Or planning lessons. Or finding activities to engage my students and make them enjoy learning. I might take a nap to make up for lost sleep. I might go to bed early. I am innately cheerful, even when I’m sad. This defines me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thoughts and ramblings about whatever happens to be on my mind. Usually books, linguistics, or cats, but sometimes other stuff. = . =.

The Kate's Meow: July 2010
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Teaching and petsitting and weddings, oh my! It's been a busy few months, and as we all know, time flies. (I would like to point out that time flies whether you're having fun or not. Which is not to say that I haven't been having fun, but time would be flying regardless.) Anyway, Summer's here- almost over, in fact- and I've been a busy bee. Starting in mid-May, I taught an ESL class at NVCC. The novel we read was Ernest Gaines's A Lesson Before Dying. It was a great day. After t...

The Kate's Meow: March 2011
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Writing: It's not just for college. This one goes out to my College Writing 2 students. "I Love You Period" by Dan Baird:. I love the fact that he makes something nerdy (being a good writer) into something cool (which being a good writer already was, but how many of us really think like that? Let's face it- if you can't punctuate your love letters, how far do you think you'll get in life? Here's a song with an opposite take on punctuation: "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend.

The Kate's Meow: Punctuation: A Matter of Life and Death
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2011/07/punctuation-matter-of-life-and-death.html
Friday, July 1, 2011. Punctuation: A Matter of Life and Death. I know that language evolves over time. I know that means that things like spelling and punctuation change. But sometimes, it's really just easier if we follow the rules. I would like to present the following evidence that punctuation can be a matter of life and death:. Why did you just shoot my waiter? Look at the difference between these two sentences:. It's time to eat, Grandma! It's time to eat Grandma! Punctuation makes a difference.

The Kate's Meow: September 2011
http://thekatesmeow.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 11, 2011. You haven’t won. 10 years ago today, you tried to break the American Spirit. You thought that, by taking the lives of our loved ones and knocking down buildings, you could beat us. You thought that you could destroy our hope, our ideals, and our faith. You thought that you could win by killing American people and demolishing American symbols. Hope, ideals, and faith are not knockable. You thought you won. You didn’t win. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
