Leo F*cking Hernandez.North Boston University's star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.And now?He's my new roommate.I used to think I loved him.But that was before I hated him.He doesn't remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn't have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist."The Pit," as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I've learned to ignore him - no matter how he's tried to get under my skin.At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can't refuse.Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It's impossible.Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.He's broken my heart once.I won't let him do it again.

I started making these illustrations of my partner and I because I wanted to express my love beyond words! They had become really fun to make, so I kept drawing more and more for him and decided to share it.
The Affordable Art Fair is this May 5-8 at 7 West 34th Street in Manhattan. I'm stitching like crazy to prepare. Thanks to Muriel Guepin of Muriel Guepin Gallery for representing my work there. I can't wait for this annual show.
Grant writing is fun! It's a way to get a lot of money, and more. I love it because it's a game I know I can win. You can, too, if you use my game plan. A former University of Florida classmate, whom I believe to be one of the best football coaches in the country today, recently gave us the first key to winning. When losing a game, he said, "I guess we just didn't want it badly enough." Like sports, grant-writing is competitive. Winning requires a plan, and more; it requires passion. Here's my plan.
This year I will be teaching The Phantom Tollbooth to my Pre-AP classes, and I could not be more excited! I didn't teach it last year because, well, last year was crazy. I happened to read the book during our MIRP time and LOVED it! I don't know in which quarter this will happen, but I'm gathering/creating resources already because I'm THAT excited. One of the characters is not just two faced, he is twelve faced! Therefore, he is known as the Dodecahedron. I stumbled onto the following concept on Pinterest and made my own activity for Mr. Dodecahedron. Can you say cross curricular? I can see a discussion of the other geometrical affixes happening at some point. Anyway, here is what I came up with! (Link to template here) My example. The kids will spend more time on theirs than I did on mine :) Work is so much fun when you can do it at home with coffee and Facebook! Eleven more days until school starts. Woohoo!
"I love you. But I am done apologizing and proving myself."
I fell in love with the symbolism of moths over the summer when I was doing thesis research and I just...got really attached to the idea that if I had a patronus or was reincarnated as something that...
As some of you may know, I had somewhat of a “deprived” childhood. I’ve never seen Bambi, Winnie the Pooh, Sesame Street, or a whole assortment of commonplace children’s shows and movies. I’ve never been to any zoo. And I don’t remember ever eating a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich before the age of 15....
