10 honest things about myself
1. i have a terrible sense of direction. i rely heavily on my navigator to get around. the first few weeks of high school i was lost. i had such anxiety over it that i'd stay after to "practice" my schedule, and i still have nightmares that i can't find my locker!
2. i failed my driving test the first time. the second time i did even worse! the instructor felt bad and passed me, but made me promise i wouldn't go anywhere i had to parallel park!
3. i was once hit on by a much older man with an accent who told me he likes girls with short heads. (i believe he meant hair, but who knows!)
4. while preparing food with coconut oil, i like to stop and rub the excess from the measuring spoon on my face, hands, and hair. is that gross?
5. my sweetie pie john and i decided that we are married on a plane ride to holland in march '08. hubs told the hotel worker we were on our honeymoon (well, we were!) and she upgraded us to a great big room with an amazing view!
6. i can name all 50 u.s. states in alphabetical order in less than a minute, thanks to my 5th grade music teacher. however, i'd probably encounter some difficulty locating them all on a map. =/
7. i taught first grade science in a low-income, environmentally-focused charter school for three years. my classroom was home to ants, crickets, mealworms, silkworms, moths, beetles, worms, and a tree frog named boris!
8. my favorite things to do are snuggle, play, and eat. (i'm a lot like my cat, mrs. bigglesworth. =)
9. i hate being cold but get really excited when it snows.
10. i feel hair is a nuisance and seriously consider shaving mine off. maybe this summer?
7 blogs i'm nominating
Most of my skin has a coating of coconut oil right now, because it works better than anything else in the winter!
ReplyDeletethanks for the award! I've been working on it for a few days as someone else put my up to the challenge! it's been tough.
ReplyDeletei love that you had all those critters in the classroom! kids love that. I used to teach 4th grade and I taught the kids how to do a worm bin. We loved our worm pets.
I put coconut oil on my face too. my face was sooo dry until I put it on overnight the other day. you are in good company. :-)

Wow to number seven! I'm in college to be an elementary education teacher, and it's my dream to teach in a school like that. Since I don't think there are any around here, I'm hoping that I will at least be allowed to incorporate gardening and animals into my room.
