Journal

Right now I'm taking a writing class and one of our assignments is to keep a journal.  I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to post more on my blog.  After all isn't that what a blog is? 

Monday night a few of my friends and I went to dinner.  As we all know the best part of going to eat with friends is the time after you're finished eating and you start talking.  Some how the topic turned to our little quirks and pet peeves.  I divulged one of my deep dark secrets.  I will almost throw up when someone talks to me while brushing his or her teeth.  In fact, just talking about it makes me want to gag!  Okay, so it's not that deep and dark, but it's the truth.  Some of the pet peeves discussed were the way people yawn as if they've been up for days, people talking with their mouths full, etc. 

This conversation has lead me to think about thinks that drive me crazy.  I've come up with a few:
1.  people who destory other people's property for "fun"
2.  parents who believe their child's version of a story over a teacher's version
3.  living with people who don't clean up after themselves
4.  people who create drama so that they can get attention
5.  baby talk from people who aren't babies

I think that my list could go on but it just puts me into a pit of negativity. So, here goes a list of things that I love:
1.  Snowkissed berry scent from Bath and Body Works
2.  perfume - I have a drawer full and I love all kinds of them, my favorites are from Victoria's Secret
3.  silence when my students are "silent reading", other teachers know that this is a rare sound.
4.  making crafty things
5.  taking a bubble bath and reading (did this this morning at 5 A.M. when I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep)

Thinking of things that I love brought a smile to my face and made me think of a huge list of little things that I love.  Most of all I love my family!!
