There's More to Me

than just teaching...

I'm linking up with Mrs. Lemons fun Linky Party!

1) I'm a Gemini, so you can catch me in any range of attitudes. I'm all over the place.

Even at 3 months old. *My mom loves these pictures, I guess as all mom's do...

FYI - I have ONE elf ear. I'm not too thrilled about it. 

Plus, its genetic. Both of my nephews have them {one is from my sister and the other is my lil brother's son.} So weird!

2) It is very rare to find me without my better half. We have the best time together.

He's a nut and keeps me laughing all of the time.

3) Even when he makes me do scary stuff that involves heights. I'm VERY afraid of heights. I don't even like walking on the second level of the mall.

Scott talked me into doing a very high zip line. SCARY!

4) I love playing games of all kinds. Sports, trivia, board, drinking, video, and card games you name it and I'm all about it. Unfortunately, I'm not great at any of them. Teams usually get stuck with me! Ha!

OLD picture of me trying to hit the volley ball in our yard with my dad and siblings.
LOVE the scrunchie!!

5) I have Celiac disease, so I'm always on the lookout for good recipes, bakeries, and eateries that specialize in gluten-free fare. It's not easy finding yummy food. Apparently, gluten makes all foods taste great.

6) I love to feed the animals. When I'm allowed to feed them, of course! However, I am a huge chicken and usually drop the food before the animal comes near me. Oops!

My friend and I are feeding the huge tarpon in the Keys. SO COOL!

7) I have been best friends with Sara since the second grade {that was in 1984 people!} Friends come and go, but we've stayed close all of this time. I feel very lucky :)

8) I don't like pictures of myself. I think it's the elf ear. When you do see a picture of me I'm usually with someone else. It's very difficult to find a picture of just me that I haven't thrown away. I hate pictures of me!

9) America's Funniest Home Videos is my favorite show in the world. I cry. I snort. I laugh very loudly. I guess people getting hurt tickles my fancy!

10) As you may have read before, I'm a bit of a pack rat. In addition, to all of the crap I've saved in my classroom, my home is much worse.  One thing I have saved is all of my notes from high school. And, I am so glad that I did. They are hilarious! So many boys to love. So much drama. The problems of teenagers.

Every now and again, we'll pull them out and have a good laugh.

Oh my word y'all, I am so thankful I wasn't a teenager in today's world {with facebook, you tube, etc... Yikes!}

Here's one note from my friend Sara and it cracks me up every time I read it:

I never thought gum would push someone over the edge! hehehe

Okay, I finally got to watch the Bachelorette today, so now I can go online and read Monday's posts. I was too afraid of spoilers.

For those of you that read and comment on my blog, THANK YOU so much. I really love y'all. Your comments make my day!
