Just A Few Factoids

I am so excited to be linking up with Whitney today for Facts of Me. If you haven't checked out her precious blog, you should go right on over and see for yourself just how awesome she is. (After rereading that sentence I realized just how southern I truly am. "Go right on over"....Bless my heart. 

On with the facts....

FACT #1: I make myself laugh....We are talking full out LOL here people. I think I am ten times funnier than I actually probably am. See above statement for proof of this. I was a major class clown in seventh grade; my friends thought I was funny, Mrs. Walls did not.

 FACT #2: I am addicted to reality tv....Saying it out loud makes it sound even more pathetic than it did in my head, judge me if you wish. My current addictions include, but are certainly not limited to: The Bachelor (l mean hello, it's Sean), Dance Moms (I love to hate Ms. Abbey), and The Real Housewives (Beverly Hills and New York being my favorites)

FACT #3: The class pet hates me....Long story short, I tried to be the cool teacher and buy a class pet for my students. Lesson learned from all this, Guinea Pigs are EVIL. He bit me yesterday afternoon and I spent the rest of the day trying to convince myself that I did not contract rabies or something.

Happier Days 

Dont' let this sweet face fool you. He is vicious. 

FACT #4: I wear my heart on my sleeve....Somedays all anyone would have to do is look at me the wrong way and I will burst into tears. I have never understood those "thick skinned" people. If there was one thing I could change about myself, this would be it.

FACT #5: I am a major girly girl, but I love baseball....My brother has been playing competitive baseball for as long as I can remember. I has spend many a summer on a ball field in the middle of nowhere. His passion for the game rubbed off on me and the rest is history. There isn't one thing that could come between me and a baseball game. Well...besides Ms. Burch herself. I prefer to combine the two.

Ball field + Tory Burch = Perfection

FACT #6: I stink at sports....while we were on the topic, I thought I would go ahead and mention that I do not have an athletic bone in my body. I am actually crying in my t-ball picture. That's how much I hated it.

****I can not find this picture right now, but it's still hanging on my grandmother refrigrator. I will go over and steal it tomorrow. Check back for picture update, you don't want to miss this one. *****

FACT #7: I am terrified of elevators....I am so glad the good Lord didn't call me to be a nurse, or doctor. There is absolutely no way I would make it. This irrational fear goes all the way back to when I was about 8 years old. My grandmother got us "stuck" in an elevator at our local hospital. Seeing as how I live in a very small town, we only have two floors. Technically, we weren't really stuck in the elevator, she was just pushing the number of the floor we were already on, so the durn thing wouldn't move. I have totally convinced we were going to die.

Thursday Thoughts...

I am stressed. There is really not anything else to say. Today I turned in one job application and then filled out another that I am turning in tomorrow. I am so nervous about the one I'm turning in tomorrow because I REALLY want that job. Like for real. It makes me so happy thinking about the possibility of having a job there next year. I will keep you posted on how the job hunt goes. No one ever told me how hard growing up was. Well, that is not entirely true. Plenty of people warned me, I just chose to not listen.

Speaking of growing up, today I went by the union and ordered my cap and gown. Insert sad awww here. I really do have mixed feelings about graduation. I go back and forth daily. One day I am excited and the next I am sad. I am excited about what lies ahead of me and sad about what I'm leaving behind. I am going to miss my friends dearly. I seriously consider my friends family. The hardest part will be leaving them.

Tomorrow is Friday and I can't wait for this weekend. This has been the longest week ever. All of my kids have just been crazy this week. I don't think they ever got back in the swing of things after being out of school for a week. It's amazing how much one week can change things. The last few days I have accumulated several letter and pictures from my students. They are just so sweet and I just have to keep them all. They make me smile! The problem is, I don't know what to do with them. I was thinking of making a scrapbook of them all, but I think that will take too much time. Any suggestions? I want something cute, but easy!

After a long day of school and filling out job applications, this student teacher is Tired with a capitol t. So what is the best way to relax after a long day? That's right....watching the Nanny with my Shira Lani!

Glee with Emily G!!

It's Tuesday night and it's 7:00. You know what that means! For those of you who don't, let me fill you in. It's time for Glee with Emily G!

We are all snuggled up on the couch laughing our heads off.

Happy Tuesday! I hope your night is filled with glee! I'm so punny!

Perfect Couple?

I have wondered more than a few times about the qualities it takes to be the perfect couple. I mean really, what makes a perfect couple? Think for a minute about the couples you know...how do the act...do they look perfect to you? We all have couples in our lives who are so over the top with their love that it is sickening. Then there are those couples who are breaking up one minute and planning their wedding the next. But, then you have they "average" couples who are just trying to figure out life together, one step at a time.

So which type is better?

I will be the first to admit that my relationship is defiantly not perfect. Just like any other relationship in life, it has it's ups and downs. There are times when it really does seem perfect, then there are times when it's everything but perfect. One thing I have learned about relationships is, you will only get out of your relationship what you put into it. If you don't try to work on your problems to make things better, then they never will be. Over the past four years Willie and I have defiantly had our ups and downs, but I love him and he loves me. Those two things I know for sure. So, in summary, we may not be the perfect couple, but we are perfect for each other.

I am super excited to watch this new show called Perfect Couples. It airs tonight on NBC at 8:30/7:30 central. It looks super cute and funny.
