Thanks for completing the meme. Walking to work must be nice!
I love it! I get 30 minutes of walking every day regardless of how my day goes. 🙂
I have boosted! Thanks! (what book did you buy, by the way?)
Mrs. Chili, it was simply a book of trivia for my “Factoid of the Day” on the white board. Nothing too exciting. 😉
Not exciting, but certainly fun.
A friend sent me The Pocket Muse, which is a book of glossy pictures and short writing prompts. As a composition teacher, I think this will come in mighty handy.
