My 12 in 12
12. Okay, so, earlier this year, my choice would have been The Hunger Games. Who doesn’t love a movie about a book that you loved…that actually LIVES UP to the book that you love? PRICELESS!
Then…along came….
I laughed…I cried…I was shocked…I was depressed…and then I was all warm and fuzzy. All in the span of two hours. This was the best of the four….for SURE. 🙂
11. So, I’m sitting her with my husband and I was trying to think of which TV Series I can’t go without…there are probably two…(I’m not doing so well at picking a FAVORITE, so far, am I?) *sigh*
I love Homeland because every week is a nail biting episode. It fills the void left by 24, if you were a fan of that show at all. Once Upon A Time appeals to the reader in me. (You can guess which one my husband said I liked first! LOL)
10. Hmm…favorite restaurant…well, off the top of my head…I’d have to say, Colorado Fondue.
My husband and I go there every year for our anniversary. We even take our picture with the moosehead every year too! 🙂 At Christmastime…he is always decorated with Christmas ornaments made by the staff.
9. Favorite new thing I tried…blogging! 🙂 It’s been a blast getting a chance to meet up with other teachers and improve my craft! 😉
8. Favorite gift I got…
My mom came to visit for my birthday and she took me for a mini-shopping spree at Coldwater Creek, which is one of my favorite places to shop! Thank you, Mommy! 😉
7. Favorite thing you pinned…
Okay, can I say that if it weren’t for my sweet friend Daina at work, I’d not be pinning a durned thing! 🙁 I have not really gotten the hang of Pinterest, and still get kinda overwhelmed every time I’m on it…*sigh*
6. Favorite blog post
I wish I could come up with something more profound here, guys…but there’s nothing I love more than those durned ‘Hey Teachers’! LOL! 😉 On this particular post, I share a few that I like! 🙂
5. Best accomplishment
Well, I didn’t accomplish it this year, but last…
4. Favorite Picture:
Chris and I went to Atlanta for my friend Joy’s wedding and got to stay in a really nice B&B. It was a relaxing and enjoyable time away for sure! 😉
3. Favorite Memory:
My husband’s family came to see us and we all went to the Keys for vacation. We had a blast! 😉 Here are a few pics of us together. My favorite one is the last one, with my husband and my nephew. I taught him how to make a ‘surprised face’, and it was what he did the entire week we were there…in every picture! He is a hoot! 🙂 Oh…and I taught him how to talk like a pirate too! 🙂 What a great trip that was for all of us! 🙂

1. ONE LITTLE WORD?
consistency
Consistency is good. That's how I run my classroom, my kiddos need it!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and becoming my 101st follower! I'm a new follower of yours as well!

Cool beans! Thanks so much Karen! 🙂 I look forward to hearing about all of your great adventures! 🙂
*LOVE* your list, Tamara! It looked like your family trip was a blast! Didn't Breaking Dawn just take you on a roller coaster of emotions? I went with my sister. She had already seen it. I don't know what was funnier…my reactions to the movie or her reactions to my reactions because she already knew what was about to happen! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Looking forward to following you! First grade is fantastic! =)

Thanks, Tanya! 🙂 Girl…YES…yes, it did! The last 45 minutes I was horrified…and then…well, you know what then, don't want to ruin it for everyone who hasn't seen it…but…oooh! It was terrible and wonderful all at the same time! 🙂 Let's keep in touch! 😉
