my sweet old etcetera: the little things we do

Here's some fill-in-the-blank fun for you, courtesy of the lovely Lauren from the little things we do Be sure to post your own answers and then link back to her blog!

1. I am hoping my Valentine's day this year includes something handwritten and maybe some pretty flowers.

2. My biggest guilty pleasure is Starbucks.

3. I am most proud of my students -- I love watching them grow and learn.

4. If I could choose one outfit to live in it would be my dark wash jeans and my kitten heels -- they're so comfortable without sacrificing style.

5. People are sometimes surprising, but always interesting.

6. I would rather make the best of a situation than suffer for no reason.

7. I love my boyfriend more than sleep, chocolate, or books (which is saying A LOT if you know my love of sleep, chocolate, and books(!!!).

This is my 500th post, which is insane. I began writing this blog a little over a year ago, starting out with just a handful of readers. Now I have 100+ readers, which is also insane. (And not a little intimidating, I will admit.)

Thank you to those of you who have stuck with me through all the Lolcats, the favorite lists, and all the random rants. And as for my new readers, please leave me some comments so I can get to know you, too. :D

So it's Friday! (Yay!!!!1) And it's also Super Bowl weekend (Yawn.), which apparently has all of the male contingent very, very excited. The majority of my male high school students today were practically bouncing in their seats. Honestly, I hope the Saints win just because New Orleans has had it so rough -- they deserve some happiness. But otherwise I could care less. Basketball is more my thing...

Here's a little "Fill in the Blank" fun for you before I go, inspired by Lauren from the little things we do... Happy Friday!

1. If I had two hours to myself today, I'd spend it curled up in bed reading .

2. If I could travel anywhere today, I would go to Paris, France .

3. The night I first kissed Ricky (aka the love of my life) is my happiest memory.

4. Sometimes you're focused other times you're floating.

5. Beauty is inside the hidden moments that no one else sees but you.

6. I would be embarrassed if anyone knew that I don't drive and that in fact I HATE driving.

7. Love at first sight is not something I believe in -- I think love is something that grows with time.

P.S.) I'm in the running to receive an educator's grant that will help me pay for my students' books. Please vote and help me win! Thanks!
