7 Random Facts About Me
1. I teach at the the same elementary school that I attended as a child.
2. I love to play board games . . . which is what a group of us do on GAME NIGHT at my sister's house.
3. I am a PUG LOVER and have 2 precious girl pugs.
4. I am a VERY early riser. I'm at my best in the morning and get so much done then . . . before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.
5. My favorite dessert: cheesecake - plain New York style cheesecake.
6. And with that cheesecake, it's got to be coffee {black, please}. I always have coffee first thing in the morning.
7. I love hanging out at bookstores and libraries. I wish I could buy all the books I want for my classroom, but the library is a wonderful alternative. I check books out by the armful.
