Hmm, since I'm not working summer school I need to do something with myself. Should I share all the fantastic teacher tips and plans I'm working on for 2013-2014? Uhm. No. Teaching is my career, not my life. Which leads me to why I'm really here. My life has been all about winding down the last few months of school.

When confronted with unpleasant situations, you often pull into your shell where
you are safely out of harm's way. Unfortunately, the danger of this evasive strategy is
that your unexpressed anger may create more problems now than a short-lived conflict.

Today many of my friends are attending a vision board gathering. I opted not to. After posting this, I have a long list of not-so-grand tasks awaiting me. Not to mention, I've finally accepted my issues are not designing my vision(s). It is implementing them.

As I prepare for the coming of 2013, I think about what I have to accomplish in the last few hours of 2012 as well as those things I need to leave behind me.

Hey Beautiful,
Recently I have ventured into the world of Ebay and decided I'd share my finds with you. Today's dish is a 26 Color Eyeshadow Blush Concealer Palette from Ebay seller etrade168. Since this is a neutral palette, the colors are matte or have limited shimmer.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything of interest. But then again, it may only be interesting to me. Oh and maybe to that one sympathetic blog stalker I acquired along the way. The one who attempted a not so innocent web search for "Magic City Girl", found me, and decided to never leave. So I'm writing for the two of us now.
