CONGRATULATIONS CLARE BEAR!!

Jan 13th - I would like to congratulate Clare on her graduation from University of Saint Francis (also my alumnus) with her Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education. She graduated CUM LAUDE too!! I am SOOO happy for you Clare!! Major congrats! I know it was difficult as school usually is...but you made it, you've got it, GO GIRL!!



Welcome to the working world with the rest of us working girls!

We had a good time at her graduation party on Saturday...good games and food!! We ended the night with a VERY "spirited" conversation on the youth in America and the prison system...it was very good conversation. It reminded me how intense, animated and energetic I get when trying to express myself about something I feel very strongly about (which is probably why I don't do it much and stay quiet). Sometimes when this happens I think I come across like I am displeased or angry, but I am not...I have to be careful in the future.

This was supposed to be with the original post title...but the connection messed up again...so here is the rest.
