Hope to see you at the @txla_1902 annual conference, beginning on Sunday! I'll be zooming around and doing some special things.
Houston is my home town! If you have a chance, definitely check out @houstonbotanic and @menilcollection.

See you soon!

Happy Valentines Day.
Love can be many things and come in many forms. I hope you get to celebrate love in exactly the way you want today (and everyday).
My love language right now is reading until I fall asleep for a nap 😴 💝

My new @iSchoolUI cardigan is so comfy. Can’t wait to host classes in it!

Good morning SE Texas! It's going to be cool and very breezy today. A wind advisory and red flag warning will be in effect for portions of the area until 7PM tonight. Winds should ease down into Thursday with great weather expected on Halloween. #TXwx #HOUwx #Houston

@CenterPoint_TX Still no power in 77346

@CenterPoint_TX Come on to Atascocita! Why our power always goes out is beyond me. But crews aren’t even assessing yet. 77346

GREAT NEWS from Leander ISD. To Kill a Mockingbird, House on Mango St, and Narrative of Life of Frederick Douglass will be returned to classrooms after a massive outcry. Thanks to everyone who spoke up!

When the cell phones are away, other things are able to happen…like reading! Atomic Habits is so far the most-wanted this year. #library #libraries

I’ve worked three jobs (1 FT, 2 PT, including adjunct prof at Lone Star) for years now, and I have to say…I think I do a pretty bang-up job with managing my time and having stellar output. If you aren’t sure you can do it, it’s all about the organization!
