Who is this gal?
- Amy Chaney
- What I write is truly not considered important on a grand scale or life-changing by any means, but my thoughts, stories, and random ramblings may bring a smile to your face. "It's a Ladybug Kind of Day!" is simply what it is--my perspectives and experiences throughout the day. My hope is that someday my son and my students will enjoy reading what I am learning about humanity and life as I make my way through each day striving to be a better me.

"The Last Kingdom" Premiere
I am ecstatic about this new BBS America series. The British literature teacher in me has been looking forward to The Last Kingdom for months and gets to share it with her students! The Anglophile in me can't wait to immerse herself into the early Anglo-Saxon culture where Vikings lurked in the shadows...
Official Trailer
The
Last Kingdom premieres Saturday,
October 10 at 10/9c. It is a contemporary story of redemption, vengeance
and self-discovery set against the birth of England. This historical drama
combines
real
historical figures and events with fiction, re-telling the history of King
Alfred the Great and his desire to unite the many separate kingdoms into what
would become England.
Set in
the 9th century AD, many of the separate kingdoms of what we now know as
England have fallen to the invading Vikings, only the great Kingdom of Wessex
stands defiant under its visionary King Alfred the Great.
It is
the last kingdom.
Against
this turbulent backdrop lives Uhtred. Born the son of a Saxon nobleman, he is
orphaned by the Vikings and then kidnapped and raised as one of their own.
Forced to choose between the country of his birth and the people of his
upbringing, his loyalties are ever-tested. What is he — Saxon or Viking? On a
quest to claim his birthright, Uhtred must tread a dangerous path between both
sides if he is to play his part in the birth of a new nation and, ultimately,
recapture his ancestral lands.
The
Last Kingdom is
a show of heroic deeds and epic battles but with a thematic depth that embraces
politics, religion, warfare, courage, love, loyalty and our universal search
for identity. Combining real historical figures and events with fictional
characters, it is the story of how a people combined their strength under one
of the most iconic kings of history in order to reclaim their land for
themselves and build a place they call home.

The Cracker Jack Metaphor
I love metaphors! I love how one can find metaphors daily because they are all around us. We use them without knowing it most of the time. I want to share this message with you (please note that it is an amazing message delivered by the senior pastor at my church--I am not trying to impose my faith on anyone; just enjoy the metaphor). About twenty minutes into the "Fundamentals of the Game" video from September 13, 2015, you will be treated to a sweet, nostalgic metaphor! Share your thoughts with me, if you'd like.
