  12. Keeping a blog is going to be part of my curriculum next quarter.
  13. My husband's name is Josh.
  14. We don't have any kids.

  20. We do want kids.
  21. Just not yet.
  22. There is a history of multiple births on my side of the family.
  23. My Mom is a twin. Which means I'll probably have twins.
  24. Or triplets.
  25. I guess that would be ok.

  32. One of my biggest pet peeves is people not using their turn signals.
  33. Another is people telling me that what I'm eating is gross/looks gross.
  34. My thought is, "If you don't like it, don't eat it."
  35. I once pulled up next to a woman who was weaving in and out of traffic without using her turn signal and said to her, "I think your turn signal is broken."
  36. My husband and I thought that was hilarious.
  37. Still do.
  38. I also am irritated by people who leave their turn signals on forever—without the intention of turning or changing lanes.
  39. I once held up a sign to a car who had their turn signal on forever that said, "Your turn signal is on."

This was great! Some of it made me laugh- I love your humor!

I hope your students keep good blogs next year. You'll have to post links to the bizzarre ones!

Jen is responsible for my starting a blog also.

I also like to make up words to songs.

I go to Weight Watchers with my dad when I visit my folks and then afterwards we go to Starbucks. I wish I could go every Saturday with him.

Sounds like Jen is quite the trouble maker. We better keep an eye on her. Do you post on the Y!F forums Lynda?

Jen said...

I am- I am the deviant, the troublemaker, the person responsible for any blogging you wish you never saw... ;)

Even then it isn't really about me. Glad to see I'm important to you Holly.

Have you been to the Vans website and seen their pink/brown check shoes? They come in light blue/brown also. I have a pair (pink ones). Love them.
