About Me
Name: Chelle Y.

I am a mother of one beautiful seven year old boy, and I am a Die-hard Oakland A's fan. I was a history and algebra teacher for nine years before my son came into my life, then became a stay-at-home mom. That has been one of my greatest joys.

I love to play the piano and now I teach other children how to play piano too.

Sushi
Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
Grapefruit
Liver
Seafood
Spiders
Caterpillars
Snakes
Jelly Fish
Eels
Boogers!

Okay, this was hard than I thought!

Random Thoughts

Why do I not feel like blogging anymore? I get on to post something almost everyday, then log right back off because I have “nothing to say.” Yet, I feel pressure to write something. SOMETHING WILL NOT COME!
Brendan has this calendar that he loves to read off of every […]

Thursday Thirteen #107 (Thirteen Things That I “Love.”)

Last week I was teased for be “grumpy” because I listed “Thirteen Things That I “Hate.” I guess the sunshine and tulip blog does not look “mean.”
Well, I decided to list some of the things (or people) that I love. Just like the word, hate, I used for last week’s […]

Seriously, Do I Look That Old?

Brendan and his friend, Tyler, were going through a drawer of mine and found a old newspaper that I had bought on January, 17, 1991. If you know anything about history, that was the date that America “officially” went to War, the First Gulf War.
A lover of history, I bought the paper to keep […]

Thursday Thirteen #106 (Thirteen Things That I Hate)

I am a total airhead! I did not see the “Theme” idea until after I completed my list. So, this week, I am veering off from the theme because I am too lazy to redo it. I will do my best to play along with every one else next week.

The […]

WWC

I am sorry I have been AWOL again. I have had company here since last Thursday, so I have been very busy watching movies entertaining my guest. My best friend’s daughter drove up from college to visit Brendan and me. It was nice to have her here for a few days. […]

Thursday Thirteen #105 (Thirteen Reality Shows That I Do Not Watch)

When the writer’s strike was happening and my favorite shows were off the air, I took to watching some of the reality shows on televsion. I do have my favorites, Survivor and The Biggest Loser, and tried to enjoy the other popular ones, but could not get past the first couple of episodes.
I did […]

WWC

It’s been a few weeks since I have participated in the WWC (brought to you by Tink). The words this week were background and closeup.

Happy Birthday, Brendan!

Today, my little buddy has turned eight. EIGHT! Where has the time gone? As much as I love the fact that he is growing up and learning new things, I am still sad to see it go so quickly. He truly has been an amazing gift from God.
There is one thing […]
