Robin Has An Idea: October 2014
http://www.robinhasanidea.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Robin Has An Idea. Thursday, October 23, 2014. The blog has been quieter this year. The house hasn't stayed as clean as I'd like. I've not done as much baking. The only reading has been the news and an article here and there. Travel and family visits have taken up a lot of time. The normal day to day has filled the space between all the rest. That was the other part of the problem when you would have found me sulking in this chair- I was chasing the wrong kind of dream. In TJ Maxx recently, my main goal ...

Robin Has An Idea: May 2014
http://www.robinhasanidea.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Robin Has An Idea. Monday, May 19, 2014. A new way to connect. In January, I was asked if I'd like to teach ESL (English as a Second Language) once a week along with a teaching partner at Mommy and Me Family Literacy. A group that works with refugee women and their children. I was excited. We were to teach an abridged version of The Scarlet Letter,. Which is one of my favorites, and some U.S. history and government. We were provided with an excellent first lesson plan and hoped for the best. I can't spea...

Robin Has An Idea: Why I cried over Robin Williams
http://www.robinhasanidea.com/2014/08/why-i-cried-over-robin-williams.html
Robin Has An Idea. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Why I cried over Robin Williams. I grew up watching loads of television and movies. The Huxtables, the Simpsons, and the Keatons: my extended family. Do you know how much I cried when Alex's friend died on Family Ties. Or how often I hid in the back room of the house to listen to The Simpsons Sing the Blues. On cassette and wondered what it might feel like to say all those bad things myself? Will their kids become actors too? Will they get through the rough ...

Robin Has An Idea: July 2014
http://www.robinhasanidea.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Robin Has An Idea. Wednesday, July 2, 2014. About a year ago, I wrote this: Surviving end-of-term grading. Over the past few days, as happens at the end of most every term, I've been in the same predicament with the same kinds of struggles. On days like that, the only thing you can do to get through it is get through it. But it doesn't hurt to do a vigorous working out first. Sure does relieve stress. With unconventionally beautiful actors playing key roles. Or put on an 80s classic. With these dependabl...

Robin Has An Idea. Thursday, November 13, 2014. A Bookish Christmas List: 2014. Nearly every year on this blog, I do a bookish Christmas list of gifts writerly and readerly folks might enjoy.

I just think they're cool and want them myself. Also, the pictures aren't mine! Image and product from litographs.com at this. One for Christmas, I swear.

Robin Has An Idea. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Book Purge: The Whiches and Wheres. There are books in the office. There are books in the guest room. There are books in the kitchen. There are books on the ottoman. There are books in my desk. There are books on my bedside table. There are books on his bedside table. There are books on the dresser. There are books in the garage.
