Hi all and thanks for the tag, Rob. I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with five things y'all don't already know about me that I'm interested in sharing with the world (which may now include any of my students who are industrious enough to have found my online home here)... Hmmmmmm....
Well, here goes!
- I just put an offer in on a new house! You don't know this because it just happened on Friday, and I'm both nervouse and excited, with a smidgen of buyer's remorse-style uncertainty thrown in for good measure.
- My two front teeth are fake. When I was about 7 or 8, I broke one of my front teeth at gymnastics and had to have it replaced. I had it replaced again before I got married. About 4 years ago, on a business trip, I was in a hotel and opening the curtains with those little metal pull rods? And it slipped and rebroke that tooth and significantly chipped its neighbor... Thus, two almost completely fake front teeth.
- I used to spend my summers living in California with my grandparents, teaching swimming lessons to kids. Some of those parents thought I was much older than I was - when I was a sophomore or junior in high school, and they asked about it, I used to just say "sophomore" or "junior" and they mostly thought college, I think. How funny that when we're young, we want to be thought older... And now, I'd love it if folks thought I was 10 or evern 5 years younger than I am.
- I am proud of my cooking, even though I'm lazy and don't like to do it every day. I make a particularly good lasagne, tasty sauce, my mom's recipe for meatloaf and meatballs, yummy stew, and an amazing chili that I love to eat...
- I have struggled with procrastination my whole life. It's not that I don't start things when I should, it's mostly that I try to do too many things and love to read and be with my friends and eat out and watch television and movies and, and, and...
Well, there you go. Not earthshattering, but honest, and perhaps you now know something interesting about me that you didn't know before, although if you've been following this blog it's whole life (since... 2003) you probably knew almost all of those things and most of the others I considered posting.
I'm now off to finish the long list of chores to do today... laundry, grocery shopping, grading midyear exams and entering grades, photocopying for my students for tomorrow, making the bed, taking down the Christmas tree and lights, folding and putting away clothes (my nemesis), paying a few bills, writing a few thank-you cards, and who knows what else...
