 |   You never know what you'll find - humor, ramblings, rants, randomness- it's all me! |
This description part is challenging. I never know what I will blog about until I start typing. I do know there will be typos. I don't reread or correct my blog. Otherwise it turns technical instead of my feelings and thoughts. Trust me, on stories and poems I'm a grammaraholic, but this is freedom. Sometimes to keep it from getting too personal, I even turn my head away while I type. Weird, right?. I hope you find this somewhat entertaining, thought-provoking, and humorous.   A little about me. The most important things in my life are family, especially my son, Reese, and my husband, Bruce, my walk with God, and making a positive impact in some way. I am a teacher, currently teaching 6th grade Language Arts. While at times my job can be trying, overall, it is one of the most rewarding passions in my life.   This is my wonderful son, Reese. He is now 20 and and a junior at Oklahoma State University. I may be partial, but he is an exceptional kid with the best heart I've ever known. He makes me laugh, think, and want to be a better person. We are both huge Oklahoma State Cowboy fans - Gooooooo Pokes!  This is Reese's dog, Betty. She shares a name with my mother. Reese named her that because she was beautiful and kind just like his Nanny (my mom). I'm not sure my mom is quite convinced it is a compliment though. Betty is a huge part of our family. She even had her own blog for awhile. Poke around at your leisure and shake your head at some of things that go through mine. I always return reviews/comments, though admittedly, sometimes it does take me awhile depending on what life is serving me at that point. Keeping the faith, Audra  |
| Group Therapy for Obsession with Office Supplies? Anyone? Please? I admit it. I, Audra Lea Branson, have an obsession with office supplies, and I freely choose not to be healed. So, the group therapy brief thought is out the window. I'm kind of worn out tonight. I actually had to do outside farm work today. It wasn't bad, except it didn't kill me which a few times I was hoping it would. Like, when the mouse ran over my foot while I was moving a vehicle. Or when I was convincing myself that the pile of limbs I was moving to the burn pile would not be of interests to snakes. My nephew ruined that fantasy by pointing out the snake skin. I used to love my nephew. Anyway, so I'm tuckered out; therefore, my blog tonight will be a list of office supplies I want immediately when I see them. 1. Sharpies - all of them, every kind, highlighter sharpies, sparkly sharpies, 80's sharpies. 2. Notebooks - I'm going to steal I line I first heard when I was about 15 to describe them. 'Size doesn't matter.' It's true (in notebooks, at least j/k). They all do the trick: mini, pocket, one subject, 5 subject, white, color, etc. Ahhh, a nice new notebook. Heaven on Earth. 3. Pens - any color but red. They don't have to be expensive just have a nice smooth roll that makes my name look beautiful even when I chicken scratch it. Gel pens sometimes depending on the colors and again ability to create a smooth, no smudge signature. 4. Color Pencils - honestly, I hardly use these because I have my sharpies, but yet they still sing out to me. 5. Post-its! - love them - all shapes, colors; they are just fun. 6. Huge Paper Tablets (Like almost the size of poster board) - these are great in the classroom, and I feel kind of cool because I have something other people ask to borrow. There is much more to my obsession, but my eyes are drooping and my body is begging for a scrubbing. Thanks for reading! No Snakes or Mice In the Bathtub Please, Audra |
