Spring Break and Let's Get Acquainted Linky Party~Stranded

Spring Break, 0h how I love thee.  Let me count a few of the ways:

1.  No 6 am wake ups~  Oh, how I adore sleep.  I am soooo good at it.  It's not that I am grumpy when I have to get up early, but I love sleeping to at least 8 am.  Of course, that means staying up till about midnight and such tomfoolery is crazy when you deal with 6/7 year olds.  My theory is either you are ready for them or they are ready for you.  I prefer the former :)

2.  Freedom to potty when you need to~  I love that when the urge hits, I don't have to wait until lunch or recess.  Such freedom!!!

3.  Day long pajama parties~  My pj's are my BFF.  They are pink and stretchy and soft and loose and comfy and warm.  I think that I am a nicer person when I wear them. and during spring break, I get to frequent their company!

4.  Development of new TV obsessions~  I am an avid TV watcher and admirer.  My newest find is The Americans.  It's intriguing and addicting already.  Plus, I have loved Keri Russell since Felicity. 

5.  Shopping during the day~  Such a simple pleasure, but I truly love it.  I pretend that I am a rich SAHM that can craft and bake all day long if I want to.  BTW, I don't have kids and I totally know that most SAHM are not crafting and baking all day.  I just like to pretend :)

6.  I can write this blog post at 12:30 on a Tuesday!

7.  I could clean my house if I wanted to (but I don't want to right now).

I could keep listing things, but it's spring break and I have a lot of *nothing* to do today.  :)

However, I am linking up with Flying into First Grade again.  This week's topic:  What 3 things would you have to have if you were stranded on an island?

I watch Survivor.  I am ready for this!  I would take: 
1.  Flint to use for fire.
2.  A machete to kill things that could kill or scare me. (and to build the shelter and for banging on the flint for a spark for fire)
3.  My hubby.  He makes me laugh and tells good stories. (and, he could use the flint and the machete)  Plus, I can't imagine him not in my life!



Happy Teaching,

Let's Get Acquanted Linky Party~Favorites Edition

I am linking up for another fun linky.  Ms. Reed from Flying into First Grade hosts a weekly linky party to get to know other bloggers.  Click on her cute graphic to visit her page and link up. This week the theme is favorites. 

Favorite Place to Shop

My Favorite places to shop are Target and Shoe Station.  I love Target because it is not as cra-cra as my local Wal-Mart and it has pretty much everything.  The one thing that I wish Target did carry that they don't....craft supplies.  I had to mention my favorite shoe store too.  Here in WA, we don't have Shoe Stations.  When I go south each summer, it's a must stop for me.  I love that ALL the shoes are out and I don't have to ask anyone to help me.  I look.  I try on....as many as I want!

Favorite TV show

This is a loaded category for me.  I have many shows that I adore.  Currently, I am into The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Scandal, Survivor, Amazing Race, Modern Family.  My favorite of all time would be LOST.  It was so smart and clever.  I was a sad panda when it ended!

 

Favorite Movie ( I added this category)

 

My favorite movie is The Goonies.  This movie was a child favorite and it still has a special place in my heart.  I have gotten to visit Astoria, OR several times to see all the places where they filmed.  A couple of years ago, I got to attend the 25th anniversary celebration in Astoria with friends.  It was an AWESOME experience for someone who is a true Goonie!

Favorite Sweet Treat

My favorite sweet treat is tiramisu.  I love the combination of coffee, custard and cake.  The Cheesecake Factory has a tiramisu cheesecake and it is amazing!

Favorite Food/Restaurant

 

Southern comfort food is my favorite type of food.  We have made a few trips down to Portland to a place called Pine State Biscuits.  OH.MY.GOODNESS!!! It's an itty bitty place that was started by some good old NC boys.  My favorite thing there is called The Reggie.  It starts with an awesome fluffy buttery biscuit and it's topped with fried chicken, bacon, cheese, and sausage gravy.  It is southern goodness on a plate.  They also serve true sweet tea.  That is a rare find in the Pacific Northwest. 

 

Happy Tuesday!
