In a few days, we'll experience February 29 for the first time since 2012. How do you mark a day that comes along only once every four years? I think there are several ways that one could celebrate a Leap Day. Remember that movie with Amy Adams where she travels to Ireland to propose to … Continue reading 5 Ways to Spend Your Leap Day

There’s No Reason
Caution: This post is a vent session. If you don't want to read my current complaints, go somewhere else. Do you ever have days where you just don't want to be around people? Do you ever have a bad day when there's just no logical reason for it to be bad? That's the kind of … Continue reading There’s No Reason
Playing Host
You guys like Family Feud, right? Of course you do. Everyone loves Family Feud. And it's enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in recent years due, I would say, in large part to host Steve Harvey's priceless facial expressions as he reacts to the responses given by any number of his contestants. If you're not sure … Continue reading Playing Host
Dropper
Hello. My name is Aaron... and I'm a dropper. It's only been a few hours since I last dropped something. This morning as I reached into the drawer for a pair of socks, as soon as I picked them up, I dropped them on the floor. I swore under my breath as I bent down … Continue reading Dropper
10 Reasons to Close the School
Working in a school setting, I get excited by the prospect of extra days off. See, as much as I enjoy the work I do, it's still work.

There's a trend on Facebook. Well, I don't know that you can call it a trend when it's been going on for years. But it's a trend that I find slightly annoying. And it's entirely possible that I'm the only one it annoys because I think I'm the only one who hasn't jumped on the … Continue reading Now Trending
Framed
I feel like, for this short story to make sense, I need to paint you a picture of my bedroom. I won't literally paint you a picture. I'm not that talented. Also, it would be a boring picture. Anyway, my room isn't anything special. But you need to be aware that my small bed is … Continue reading Framed
Gimme a Break
Kids, I'm gonna take the week off from blogging. The way I see it, I'm entering my second week of Christmas break, so I'd like to spend as much of it relaxing as I can. Not that blogging is a stressful activity. I find it to be a good stress reliever. But if I'm spending … Continue reading Gimme a Break
Being Santa
First of all, let's just agree that the guy sitting on the throne of lies at the mall is not the real Santa Claus. But that doesn't make the fake Santa a bad guy. We shouldn't try and pick a fight with him simply because he smells like beef and cheese. The Santas at the … Continue reading Being Santa
