Lesson Learned: Always run yellow lights

Did you notice my "fancy" new button? I feel like a proud mama! I think I must have added 10 page views just checking it out. If you grab my button you might just be my new BFF.  
I was off to do some classroom shopping today. You know how that goes. You tell your family you will be back in a few. {You are only going for some laundry detergent.} EXCEPT, us teachers NEVER only go for one thing. Then, you come back 3 hours later and realized you didn't even get the laundry detergent. It's okay right...who wanted to do laundry anyways. Today I passed my usual stops (Target and Dollar Tree) and made a dash for Goodwill. I am looking for a comfy [somewhat clean] chair for my classroom. As I entered the store-I caught a glimpse of a big, lovely, soft chair in the corner. It was even celery green... not rainforest green or blue green...celery green. {JACKPOT!} I must have looked like I had won the lottery because no sooner than I smiled... a somewhat irritated customer looked at me and said, "It's sold." {Sold! I knew I should have ran that yellow light!} So I sadly left empty handed and actually returned home in the hour like I promised. But guess what...no laundry detergent.
Until next time...

Just another Blog Stalker

It is 3:09 a.m. in Las Vegas, Nevada. Yes, I did say a.m. You might think one would be out gambling or partying at this hour in the city that never sleeps. What am I doing you ask? Far worse things...I am living up to my newly found identifier...Blog Stalker Extraordinaire. {I am living on the edge now. How did I not know about this?} I hop from one button to the next. I have to admit there is not much else to do. Have you ever flipped through the T.V. at 3:00 in the morning? Since I'm not interested in purchasing a thighbuster and one can only watch so many Golden Girl reruns. I turned on the computer and began searching classroom themes. Little did I know that I would be thrown into a world of AMAZING teachers and unlimited resources. Needless to say, the last week of my life as been full of widgets, code, and HTML. And finally I enter the world of blogging tonight with my first post. It seemed this day would never come.
I guess I should call it a night...since tomorrow I have to learn how to add a grab button, join a linky party and post a picture. Hence, the name Blog Stalker Extraordinaire!
Until next time...
