Well, where do I begin? I signed up for the "13 things" Coe College Summer Challenge. In a maddening effort to increase my mindless ability to interact with the machine that sits in front of my desk...THE COMPUTER, I decided to sign up! Yes, I know my mediocre tech abilities doesn't match the masterful millennial generations. So here I sit with my first assignment on screen...setting up your own blog. MMM? What magnificent masterpiece should I name this blog? What could a muddled up membrane of words be called? In true Mandi style, I must use alliteration and what better letter than the letter M? Individuals already tease me about my M&M initials and my coworkers will tell you I must use alliteration in all teach moments with students and professional staff members.
What you will find in this blog? Well, let the list of M's begin:
Misspellings: Yep, it will happen. I apologize ahead of time.
Motherhood: A proud mother of 1 child. She is soon to be a 1 year old. I tend to talk about my little Ava. Yes, family alliteration is alive. (Adam Ryan, Amanda Rachelle, and Ava Rachelle). What can I say? I like things to match and go together.
Married life: Adam is the love my life. We are bonded for a lifetime together. I am sure a mumble or two will be about him and our life together.
Music: It is random, but I love the Nadas. I just came from a concert on Saturday. I just have music on my mind.
Midnight Mochas: I adore my grande nonfat cinnamon dolche latte with whip. YES! I said "with whip". It is my vice in life. Deal with it.
Muscular Endurance: From training for triathlons to teaching aerobics at Rockwell Collins, I am sure you will read something about my miserable muscles over the next few weeks.
Mastering New Technology(lol): Thank you Lisa for moving me closer toward this mobilized age! It is the goal of this whole mountain we are climbing together.
Matchless Memories of Working with Students: I love my work! Most of my days are filled with matchless moments of working with students to find a true passion for service. Just watch the video and you will see what I mean.
My online friends read and enjoy, as I meander over clicking my mouse and submitting my memorable mumbles to the world each week. Some post will be mundane while others possibly memorable and maybe moving. Overall, I hope it leaves you a little merrier than before you enter to read the mumbles.

Kudos on setting up a blog! Keep in mind, if your mother can set up a Facebook account, anyone can (she now has 18 friends, FYI). Can't wait to see future mumbles...
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I have a facebook account because the youth group kids from church asked me to. However, I rarely check it and I am certainly not going to announce every time I take a shower, etc. I am enjoying Ms. Ava's artwork from daycare, possibly an artist. Praying that you will do well in the triathon, and specifically for no flat tires. Be blessed!
ReplyDeleteYour alliteration is twisting my tongue as I read this. Great first post and willingness to share!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts. I feel like I spend many hours on the computer but with a blog I feel like it is all more personal.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so glad others are in the same boat as I am. Technology intriques me and I want to stay current in my teaching AND I feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable in the technology world. Hopefully this challenge will push me forward!
