Spare Mindy: Who Is Spare Mindy?
http://sparemindy.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-is-spare-mindy.html
Who Is Spare Mindy? It was long overdue. I retrieved the small cardboard box from Turtle’s closet and opened it. 160; . There she was, swaddled in two layers of clear plastic – Spare Mindy. 160; . She’d been shipped to me by Fisher Price, who I called in a fit of parental anxiety. At 18 months, Turtle had become attached, taking her everywhere, chewing on her head, and sleeping with her each night. 8220;Min – daah” he babbled randomly. "Oh, Mindy! 160;That's a great name! But prior to becoming a paren...

Spare Mindy: May 2011

Two of my most favorite pieces of descriptive writing. Oh, that I could learn to write like this! Let The Great World Spin. There were many seas. The sea roared like a tiger. The sea whispered in your ear like a friend telling you secrets. The sea clinked like small change in a pocket. The sea thundered like avalanches. The sea hissed like sandpaper working on wood. The sea sounded like someone vomiting. The sea was dead silent.". Or do they have to work at it? What Should Your X-Year Old Know?

Spare Mindy: August 2010
http://sparemindy.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Girls Can't Do It". Team sports don't do much for me. I've always been more of an. Kind of girl. I was a skater in another lifetime, am into street and dirtbikes, still love to rollerskate (quads only! And recently took up BMX along with my son. What I need to feel to actually do it. I've tried really hard to no avail. It turns out that trying was going to get me nowhere. Speed was what I needed and the bike just lifted itself up magically! Then we headed over to the big bowl, part of the track I've neve...

Spare Mindy: The Difference
http://sparemindy.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-difference.html
I looked her up online. She’s a real one. Looking for clues to the how. How can she do it? There’s a picture of her desk online. It’s just a slightly messy desk on hardwood floor in the middle of the house with evidence of. Kid stuff all around. Not a special office hideaway retreat space dedicated quiet clean. A lot like my desk, house, hardwood floors. Kid stuff all around. So I have no excuse. Well, there’s the MFA and the job teaching writing. And the long list of what’s been published already. IR...

Spare Mindy: June 2014
http://sparemindy.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
What if it were my real job? Then would it be okay that they mindlessly eat breakfast during the second hour. Of Tom and Jerry? While I sit here nourishing myself on waffles and the laptop. Surely, I can justify the $2.99 download. If it’s childcare for work. What about for unpaid work? To read to eat my breakfast in peace? For pursuing a passion? Multiply the corresponding level of guilt, divide by the amount of energy you have. Raise to the power of what else is on your plate today. Do I have enough?

Spare Mindy: The Myth of the Put Together Mom
http://sparemindy.blogspot.com/2012/07/myth-of-put-together-mom.html
The Myth of the Put Together Mom. Who are these people? And why do they have to exist? Suddenly, it hit me. Here I was probably looking pretty well put together in the eyes of some poor other mom who walked in and was feeling frazzled, frumpy, and overwhelmed. Oh no! The last thing I wanted to do was induce those same feelings of inadequacy and frustration in someone else. I think we need some kind of symbol. A little pin we can wear that signifies "Oh, don't worry! See, that's where the pin would help.

FVCC Acct: December 2010
http://fvccaccounting.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 16, 2010. I Hope everyone feels like the class has been worth the time. Was this class good for the soul or was I just hyping it up erroneously. I'll have the finals marked by next Monday and grades done by then as well. Shoot me an email if you want your final grade before it posts. No ones bribed me with chocolates this year. Too bad. I have a soft heart for those willing to part with candy. Guess I'll have to be extra tough on my grading. Go skiing a bunch during the holidays.
