Things About me:
1 ~ I could totally live in a Barnes and Noble store and be completely content. If only they would let me.
My boys would want to live there as well. It has books and Starbucks. We are good!
2 ~ I don't watch TV. Not on my own anyways. Hubby may ask me to watch a movie or a show with him but you won't catch me vegging there.
3 ~ I love Starbucks and chocolate but my favorite food is salad and ice water with lime. How does that work!?
4 ~ I am a Chicago Bears fan and no I am not from Chicago. Neither is hubby although he did live their for awhile. Football is a season at my house.
5 ~ I live in the Southwest in the middle of dessert. I have a Southern accent that I hide pretty well until I am emotional. Can anyone figure that out?
6 ~ I am half way through my graduate degree with a 4.0!! Don't ask, I don't know how I did it just still so excited to have a perfect score.
7 ~ I love to exercise but rarely do it. I can get the weight off but have to exercise to keep it off. It is a never ending circle.
8 ~ I claim I am not crafty just so I can get out of doing things becoming a teacher has ruined that illusion. The secret is out.
9 ~ I LOVE to clean things. I LOVE to organize things. Clean, organized things make me happy. Even better... clean, organized matching pretty things with a little bit of glitter thrown in.
10 ~ My biggest pet peeve is dishonesty
11 ~ I love to be outside... camping, hiking, climbing, mudding, 4x4ing, ATVs, snowboarding, or lying about reading a book
12 ~ I have 3 boys who drive me insane some days but swear that I am an EPIC mama and treat me like a princess. Who could not help but forgive them when they say and do things like that?? (Hubby is a great example. I love him too!)
Answered Questions:
1 ~ It's a tie between Clutter-free Classroom & Teacher Tipster... love them both!

3 ~ It's a surprise!!

5 ~ The color scheme
6 ~ Sweet Home Alabama.
7 ~ Only 1 book! That is so not fair! Oh.... I know... The Complete works of C.S. Lewis, that is over 1000 pages long. It should keep me nicely entertained. I was going to say my Bible but it's an app on my phone so I don't have to use up that one with this question.
8 ~ Wedges
9 ~ Salad & Fresh Fruit
10 ~ Going to my grandparent's farm every summer
