The Chalet School Books

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? It was about an English girl who was sent away to school in the alps. That’s all I can remember. Except being very upset when she left school.

What jobs have you had? Except for one. But I’ve told this story before. Girl. Not worth educating. Would get married, have babies, someone else can keep her, not worth the investment. Apparently saying repeatedly from age 2 that I would never have children didn’t reach the right ears as truth. Oddly, I couldn’t haveContinueContinue reading “Boring Ones”
