A well known fact from the depths of my classroom: I tell jokes. Really bad ones. All the time. In fact, the cheesier the better. "I like cheesy jokes, they're GRATE" And they're always nerd alert science jokes related to our topic of study. Sometimes the kids get them and sometimes they don't. But I … Continue reading Funny Friday #1
After our astronaut adventure, we had some extra time to explore. And Rachel and I did not waste a minute of our time and jam-packed as much into our trip as we could. Life's too short to not do it all and see it all...know what I'm sayin? It all started with a sketchy Uber … Continue reading #22 Exploring Houston
Well, as close to one as I'll ever get... But a girl can dream right? I know. I know. My title should have been "best conference ever" or something like that. My adventure buddy (and fellow science nerd) Rachel and I had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2017 Space Exploration Educators Conference at NASA's … Continue reading #21 Becoming an Astronaut
Too many bodies. Okay let me back up... I had this grand plan of throwing myself a half birthday party for my 20th adventure. We were going to play bubble soccer and it was to be an epic good time. Unfortunately...the time was so late and too many people couldn't make it. So I postponed … Continue reading #20 Basketball, Bad Driving and Bodies
Yep! For a person who lives in a rural town surrounded by dairy farms, you'd think this would have already been accomplished. But no. And if you know me at all then you know that farm and Angie don't belong in the same sentence. There are several reasons for this: 1. Animals kind of freak me out. … Continue reading #19 Milk a Cow
Don't worry...not drugs or alcohol. Well, alcohol a little. Not that I had a problem, just... Nevermind. I'm detoxing all the crap out of my body. Literally. Let me warn you now...some of my revelations are related to poop. Sorry people. And I know that's probably TMI. But the way I look at it, I'm … Continue reading #18 Detox
Ugh. Balancing it all is one of life's greatest challenges. Isn't it? So I'm a mom. And a wife. And a career woman. I also have family and friends who I am very close to (in proximity...I mean I did grow up in this area) and as in they are close in my heart too. … Continue reading Adulting is not easy.
As a "blogger", I've "met" a lot of new people. Some local, one as far away as Scotland. It's been pretty rad. One of the bloggers that I follow is an outdoor champion. She hikes all the hikes in the PNW and I'm always so envious of her photos. You can check out all of her hiking … Continue reading #17 Snowshoeing
2016 was quite a year. As I reflect, we have so much to be thankful for and I'm ever so grateful for my family and friends who are the kindest, most funny, outgoing, loving, adventurous, supportive people. For my job where I get to share my passion for science and work with kids that inspire … Continue reading 2017
Just kidding. We weren't drunk. I only had one glass of wine. That title was just better than "Paint and Pour" or "Canvas Painting". And who ever came up with the idea? Painting while enjoying adult beverages is kind of difficult. Not only is the paintbrush hard to hold steady the more alcohol one consumes, there … Continue reading #16 Drunk Painting
