Little Heathens: The B word
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-b-word.html
Friday, April 11, 2014. I don't usually get this question (thankfully), but randomly, I've been asked three times in the past week if I have a boyfriend. Conversation 1 was with an old acquaintance I ran into. Acquaintance: Are you still dating that guy you were with a while back? Me: Oh no. It's been ages. Him: So you're single these days? Me: Yes and no. Him: What does THAT mean? Because if you're single I might have a nice guy or two to set you up with. Y: Ms Heathen, you got a boyfriend? We're not go...

Little Heathens: June 2015
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. A new boss in town. I started a new job this week, just in time for summer vacation. Somehow, I ended up accepting a job as a director. I'm not entirely sure how it happened; I most certainly didn't apply for a director job. The interview went something like this:. Interviewer: We're having a hard time hiring a director. Would you be interested in taking on some of those responsibilities? I'd feel comfortable taking on a *little* bit of that work. Me: Ummm. no, not at all! We ju...

Little Heathens: January 2014
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 23, 2014. This week, I took a plunge and tried out a darker shade of eyeshadow. Please note: I am a creature of habit, and I wear purple eye shadow every. single. day. This was still purple, just a darker purple. You would have that I was wearing gold Lycra pants from the reactions I got. A sampling:. What did you do? You painted your eyes purple! That's called makeup." - A four-year-old who started attending my school last week. I have seen him all of three times. Good Times with Jess.

Little Heathens: March 2014
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 16, 2014. Pink, blue and purple. It was literacy center time in first grade. Kids were participating in reading groups, correcting sentences and cutting out and illustrating a poem to glue into their poetry notebooks. J hates cutting. I offered him a deal: if he cut the top half, I'd do the bottom. When he was done, he handed me the half-cut poem along with a pair of purple scissors. "These are for you, because girls like purple," he explained. J looked at me blankly. And women wear dresses!

Little Heathens: Sharing is not fun
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2014/04/sharing-is-not-fun.html
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Sharing is not fun. Today I brought out a different social story, "Sharing is fun! During math center time when M started to growl at other students who were sharing some plastic animals with her. She eagerly grabbed the book from my hand and started perusing it. I thought it was a positive sign that she seemed so excited by it. Unfortunately, I noticed after a few minutes that the words had undergone a change:. Sigh* Apparently "M is going on a field trip! Good Times with Jess.

Little Heathens: I gave him my heart and he gave me a leopard-print snuggie
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2014/08/i-gave-him-my-heart-and-he-gave-me.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2014. I gave him my heart and he gave me a leopard-print snuggie. And why couldn't we have met a year, or two, or three ago? Or even 5 or 6 years ago, when we were both living in New York? At least I've got a new outfit for my life as a single girl, once again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Good Times with Jess. Numb the whole area and then bring on the intercourse. Happiness bootcamp: I read 10,000 studies so you don’t have to. Your LL Bean Boyfriend. Teaching cancer to cry.

Little Heathens: December 2013
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 7, 2013. The cure for a bad day. A jury summons - on days like that, a little bit of retail therapy is in order. And sometimes, on days like this, one pair of black, fleece-lined clog boots just isn't enough. Because if happiness isn't a new, second pair of black fleece-lined clog boots, then I don't know what it is. Thank goodness for friends like Slinky, who know where to find a pair of clog boots in my size! Thursday, December 5, 2013. I had to have a CAT scan yesterday.". I had exp...

Little Heathens: Doing it myself
http://littleheathens.blogspot.com/2014/05/doing-it-myself.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2014. In order to drag 100 pounds of deck furniture to my house on my own, install it with a little help from my friends (because somehow I've made it to my mid-thirties without owning a screw driver, so I always have to call someone to bring one over), and hang my patio lights. And it looks great! But did I enjoy myself? Absolutely not. Would I do it again? Unfortunately, there's no way for technology to help me avoid a trip to the hardware store.
