A Little More About Me

Do you hear or read something and think it would make a great topic about which to blog?  I have been able to watch The Talk this summer, and there have been several topics that I have opinions about, but when I get to my computer, I completely forget what I wanted to say.  So . . . I found a website that lists the Top 10 Challenge.  At the moment, I don't want to spend a day on each topic and list 10 things for each.  Instead, I will list one thing for each topic.  I'll come back to it every now and again to share a little more.

Fact about yourself: I earned my Doctorate in Education with a focus on Supervision, Curriculum, & Instruction.  Also, I'm an "it depends" kind of person.  When making decisions or having to make choices, I normally say, "It depends," because depending on all the details, my answer my vary.
