Tina and Gaia, January 2010
Hey, everyone! If you’re curious to know more about me, I’m Tina L. Arons. I grew up in San Saba, Texas, and graduated with a journalism degree from Texas Tech in May 2009. During the Spring 2009, I served as features editor for The Daily Toreador.
I spent a semester in Odessa, Texas, attending The University of Texas of the Permian Basin and writing a column for the local newspaper, The Odessa American.
Gaia at 9 weeks old
When my fiance (boyfriend, at the time) got a job offer from The Lubbock-Avalanche Journal, we jumped on the opportunity to come back to Lubbock.
I’m currently an education graduate student at Texas Tech. I’m pursuing my master’s degree in the language and literacy program and Summer 2011 will be the last of my coursework. I should have my degree by Christmas! I’m also a certified English teacher.
Gaia at 8 months old with foster puppy Ericka
One of my favorite quotes comes from “Hogfather” by Terry Pratchet. He writes, “An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.”
My hobbies include cooking, gardening, writing, reading and working with dogs. My fiance and I have a Labrador mutt named Gaia with whom I’m completely obsessed (if you can’t already tell from the photos).

Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

The spam filter on WordPress usually catches most of it. I just go in occasionally and double check, because it sometimes makes mistakes on what is and what isn’t spam. I maybe get five or six real spam comments a week, which isn’t bad. Sorry you are having bad luck with spam!
