Versatility Award

Thank you, Koreen, for the Versatility Award. I don't actually "get" it, but I love awards/ribbons/prizes, so it's all good!

The rules are to 1) thank the person who gave you the award 2) tell seven thing about yourself and 3) pass the award on to other bloggers whom you love, and, I suppose, find to be versatile.

7 Things About Me:

1. I love lists. Already, this is one of my favourite posts, just because of the listing possibilities. I make shopping lists, to-do lists, already-done lists, book lists, etc.

2. I made a "bucket list" with my students last week. It was a much harder assignment than I expected.

3. When I'm stressed I sleep-walk. Last night I ended up in the laundry room.

4. The amount of visible sunshine is directly connected to my mood every day. Don't believe me? Call me when it's raining.

5. As a child, I truly believed that we were all teeny tiny specks on a giant toy, and it was very important to not catch the attention of the Giant.

6. Now that my children are reading, I want to ban magazine covers. Orgasms? Sex? EVERYWHERE.

7. I realized earlier this week that I've become agnostic. I'm not sure yet how I feel about that.

Okay! Pass this on! I'm giving the award to Mary Poppins, Stacey, Carole, Mimi, and Sara. But I expect ALL of you to do it, and leave me a comment so I know!

Happy thoughts!

I've always tried to look at the positive side of things. In that spirit, here is a brief update on my life:

- The contractor is going to dig up the yard in approximately two weeks. Therefore, I do not need to mow the lawn! Why bother, if the entire thing is going to be destroyed?
- The contractor is going to be digging a moat around the entire house. The Terrors are thrilled! Such fun! We will be living in a castle!!
- The chilly spring weather means I don't have to use the air conditioning in the car, and my classroom is not boiling the students!
-The ice in the lake makes the water along the edge feel so much warmer!
-By accidentally tossing my laundry all into the dryer, and shrinking my favourite clothes, I have forced myself to lose weight.
-Several students have started skipping my class, since they've realized that there is no chance in hell of passing at this point. The good news in this? I can cut down on my photocopying.
-I may have found a link between red meat and my headaches. The only good news in this is that steak is expensive...I will be saving money.
-I missed taking my meds last week for 36 hours. I know now just how important those little white pills are!

That's it. That's all the happy I can find at the moment. I'm sure there's more, but I'm too cranky to see the silver lining right now.
