A Little Bit of This...A Little Bit of That

Today I decided to take time out for me and to READ!!!!  The only thing that could have made it more relaxing would have been the sound of thunder rumbling in the distant background and the smell of rain.  I finished my book and it was sooo relaxing.  If you haven't discovered The Best Endings you definitely need to go check it out.  I will warn you that there are some amazing bloggers there that share so many books that sound too good not to read.   My wish list for books continue to get bigger and bigger.

Cecelia over at I Love 1st Grade has created yet another product that you will definitely want to check out.  If you implement the Daily 5 in your classroom it will work into it perfectly!  Hop on over and check out her newest creation and her cute blog.

If you are not using Dropbox you are missing the boat!   I use it almost daily to retrieve documents from my computer at home when I am at school.  Love Love Love it!  You must check it out if you don't use it yet!

That's it.  I stayed up wayyyy to late last night ~ so I'm calling it a night! 

Time is Ticking Fast! ~ New Blog On The Block!!!

I am sitting here in utter disbelief.  It's already Friday!  Friday I said!!  As I look back and reflect on my accomplishments for the past two weeks, I'm beginning to realize I could sum it up in one word.  NOTHING!! Well... that is on a professional level (not counting blogging, because that is all about getting a fix on my stalking addiction).     But in my other world I was able to clean house, host a family get together, shop, shop, shop, read, play games, bake, sing some karaoke, take care of a sick husband (aren't they the worst babies!!), deliver goodies to special people that don't get out much, attend a cookie party, celebrate Christmas Eve with my favorite co-worker,  etc.   That list could go on and on - and for the most part I loved every minute of it.  Oh yes, one of the most important things  was the celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary!  My amazing hubby surprised me by fixing a ring that had lost one of its diamonds.  I totally love this man ~ the sweetest man on earth!


I just realized that Clutter-Free Classroom  is hosting a linky party on "How I Spent My Winter Vacation"   - so I'm linking up.  I'd love to read how you spent your Vacation too!!!!

Now, on to some pretty darned exciting news!  If you love books ~ you're going to love the new blog on the block.  It is called The Best Endings ~ a blog all about books.  The most amazing part (to me... anyways) is that I am going to be a contributor!!!  Yep, I see you there on the couch with your mouth open in disbelief!  I am so excited to be a part of a new blog that is going to be so much fun!    I hope that you will boogie on over there and check it out.  There are some amazingly talented people over there that are also going to be contributors!   I sure hope I haven't got in over my head!!!   POST and they will come.... See you over there!!
