Been down with the flu for most of this last week, and finally felt ok enough to wash my hair today. I always feel better when my hair cooperates... but with how much work it takes to somewhat tame this mop, I'm ready for a nap already. 😅🥱

I mean, is it even a question that Happy Captain should just be handed the crown? 👑🙌🏼

Super long post... The last couple of days have bern incredibly busy - where the critical tasks never seem to stop coming - even for me, who is pretty adept at handling long days with a million items on the to-do list. My husband is on a five-day ice fishing trip helping a

It's been a pretty tough couple of weeks, mostly due to a rapid onset of excruciating back pain that no amount of stretching, massage, ice/cold therapy, decompression, muscle relaxers or even pain meds have been able to touch. I've been lucky to sleep for short periods of time

The lion's mane is in full glory today! Off to do a TV interview and highlight the great Army ROTC programs around the state! Wish me luck! 🍀

I get to meet one of my Twitter heroes today, and I'm pretty excited about that. More to come! 😁

I've said it before and I'll say it again. When the opportunity presents itself to meet someone who has had a major impact on you, you take it. I made an extra trip over the pass today, just to spend 45 minutes with JoAnn Naumann as she gave a ton of solid and candid advice

Spring Break is over, early mornings on the road are back! While I enjoyed working normal people hours last week, I'm certainly ready to be back in the classroom! 😁

I've had my '24 Telly for 13 months as of today. I also hit 41,000 miles today. That's an average of 730 miles/week, and I'd estimate 650 of those are highway miles each week. 🫠 I don't want to do the math on how much I've spent in gas... 😅 Absolutely crazy.

Mama Nature's April Fool's joke: Making us Montanans think Spring was finally here with 75° last week... just to surprise us with Third Winter this morning. ❄️🌨🏔

I've taught myself dozens of types of braids over the last 35 years. Everything from a basic three-strand to a Dutch five-strand, even my famous 3-D spiral braid. Today, after trying to figure it out for YEARS... I can finally add the rope braid to my rotation!! 😅🫣

After a 73° day on Tuesday, Mother Nature had to remind us that winter isn't quite over in Montana.

Waking up to a 0330 alarm and driving through a brief snowstorm on the pass was well worth catching the sunrise over the mountains while driving to work this morning. 🌄

I love that I'm in my mid-30s, but I still make sure to check in with my Mama from across the country. And she's still one of my biggest cheerleaders. ❤️
