For my tenth book review, I will be reviewing self-help book 365 Days of Happiness by Jacqueline Pirtle.
I was today years old when I heard a perfect two-word description of my personality, and I can’t wait to shout it from the rooftops (or write it in a blog post).
To all ye who read this, I hereby proclaim Jill V to forevermore be referred to as…
A Cynical Optimist.
What?
A cynical optimist. Or what Urban Dictionary says:
Das me!!
Hmm… she kinda does look like me. My ‘teacher look,’ immortalized in clipart. chrystalizabeth / Pixabay
This week marks week three of the 2017-2018 school year. So much for my proclamation that I would have all three of my Summer in Review posts up my first week back to work.
Yeah, right. I can’t even get three posts up in one week during summer break! Props for me for thinking that I could, however.
So, how’s ‘back to work’ going?

That’s it. No more excuses. I have a date ….with a healthier lifestyle. Diet. Exercise. All that crap. Truthfully? I’m not looking forward to it. At all.

What he said.
Starting ….well, whenever my Amazon Prime package gets here (which I assumed would be yesterday, and was somewhat gladly mistaken, I ain’t gon’ lie), I will be heading to my town’s high school track on a daily basis to (gulp) run. Well, more like walk, at least to start. Continue reading
Autumn days are only a month away. But I must ask, where is my summer “vacation”?
Busy, chaotic, and tiring.
What are….three words that describe my last week, Alex?
Though the final week of July felt like it could possibly kill Mike and/or me, now that it has ended, it’s comforting to know that our schedule of demands has eased up quite a bit, at least for the time being. As a result, we as parents are taking full advantage of our increase in free time by simply not.going.anywhere. this week, unless we are actively forced. Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta hermit. It also feels good to have spent a large portion of today in a seated position, I ain’t even gonna lie.
This first post is my blog debut of the Week in Review segment. Here, I plan to discuss the 3 best parts of my previous week, as well as the 3 worst.
Happy reading, y’all! Continue reading
