I had an adventure today.
I made my hubby go up into our attic and I held the ladder and told him to be careful.
We’re risk takers, the two of us.
Anywho, after I wrote this post and said this:
I couldn’t stop thinking about those journals and notebooks and poetry that I had written. I even brought it up at a dinner that I went to with some other bloggers (I’ll tell you all about that later) so I knew I was officially obsessed with finding my old journals.
I found some. Not all.
It would have been easier if I had been in the attic looking, but the hubby said I had to stay on the ladder and not step into the attic due to the fact that there is no floor, just rafters, and I wouldn’t be able to reach all of the boxes for a nice good lengthy search.
Well, lah-di-dah, Mr. Five Foot Nine.
I think he was trying to get a sneak peek at my personal teenage angst before he knew me at the ripe ole age of 18.
I read through some of them and I have a couple of thoughts.
1. I don’t like my printing.
2. I don’t like my choice of writing utensils, especially when I used pencil because I can barely make out what I said.
3. I don’t like my choice of Mead notebooks.
Here is a look into one entry. I was 18.
Don’t worry. I have some fun excerpts from when I was 13 to show you, too. I’ll unveil them slowly. Maybe post one a week or something. A little like Talk About It Tuesday except not really.
What would be a catchy title?
Anyone?
In case you don’t want to squint, the last two lines, which I underlined for emphasis say:
“I want to be a writer and I want to be well-known.”
Well.
Look at me.
Just as humble as all get out, don’t ya know.
So.
If I were to post an entry once a week or so, what could we call it? Anyone have an idea?
Monday Musings? Monday Memories? Thursday Thoughts?
Omg I'm so excited!!!! How about "A Teeny Tiny Peek into the Life of A Teeny Tiny Teacher" to go with your love of long titles and all 😉
Oh I love! Blast from The Past with A Teeny Tiny Teacher….or Tales from A Teeny Tiny Teacher
Journey Of A Substitute Teacher
OMG! I am SO glad you found them! ….A Look Back…Aspirations and Contemplations of Little Teeny Tiny…
Love it. When cleaning out the closet a few years back my family found a journal entry my sister had written in grade one, it read… "I am tall and mean and a crook." We died laughing! Can't wait to see more of your "Notebook Nostalgia"!

Well I love this idea. It would be great fun to read your posts.Thanks so much for sharing However, it is Sunday night and I am exhausted so I have no cute, clever title ideas for you. I did like several of the ideas above…My favorite is the suggestion from Miss Kindergarten.
So cute! You already are famous writer…LOL you just didn't know it would be blogging. I can't wait!!!
You are so brave to reveal the writings of your teenage self, I don't think I'd want to re-read what I wrote at that age! How about "What I Wrote Wednesday" – though I am totally stealing that from "What I Wore Wednesday" because I cannot come up with a creative title!
Love to Learn
Oh man, I had to throw my old journals out after I re-read them. It was so mortifying for me to read them, even to myself. You are brave! I would say that you were driven and goal-oriented based on your 18 year old writing. Love it!

Love this idea! 🙂 I think you have met your goal. You are well known to us and a great writer! 🙂 -Christina
Since we will be travelling back in time to hear the timeless tales of a Teenage Teeny, I think you should call it Timetravel Tuesday with a Teeny Tiny Teen.
PS. Love your blog!
I'm not good at this (I'm not a famous writer like you, after all) but I'll give it a shot: Diary Day.
"Journal Journeys", or a longer title (cause you've admitted to liking those *wink*) could be, "Jovial Journal Journeying"- that's a real mouthful though!
How about "Words of Wisdom, Woes and Wishes Wednesday". Because we all know you love a long title. HA!
"A Teeny Tiny Throwback" ? HA!
Recess and Beyond
I like "A Teeny Tiny Teen" or "A Teeny Tiny Teenager" Or how about "A Teeny Tiny Teacher: The Prequel" ?? Can you imagine the blog you would have had then?! I would totally have been tuning in to see your reviews of Dallas or Knots Landing each week!

Kindergarten: Holding Hands and Sticking Together
If we are sticking with the alliteration:
Teenier Tinier Times
Teenier Tinier Tales (to piggy back off Miss T)
Trials, Tribulations, and Triumphs of Teeny Tiny (or Teenier Tinier)
Teeny Tiny Before Blogs
If we depart from alliteration:
Training for My Blog
Training Wheels for Writing/Blogging
If Journals Could Talk (tehe, that's my fave!)
Good Luck! Can't wait to see more!

This is all kinds of awesome! You are totally a famous writer now! I love the A Teeny Tiny Throwback idea!
Miss Kindergarten nailed it!
