Tel Me More Linky Party

I'm linking up with Step into Second Grade for this linky party...

Because I know you're dying to know more about me. Right? So you want my "quirks"? Here they are!

10 Things you Never Wanted to Know About Me

1. I live in Austin, TX but I left my heart in San Francisco (I used to live and teach there).

2. I love, love, love, love, love my Kindle Fire. I can't go anywhere without it. I read on it, watch movies and TV on it, check my e-mail and my Pinterest and my Facebook on it, play Words with Friends on it...it's basically the most awesome thing ever.

 

3. I play too much Words with Friends. I scored 84 points on the word hazy last week. (And yet...I still lost that game).

4. I love to read. This has been the "Summer of Fluff". I have read lots of books, but nothing very deep. I keep saying that my next book is going to be really deep and meaningful...then I end up reading another young adult dystopian future book again.(Darn you Hunger Games!) I just finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth.

5. I've read every Jane Austen book at least 3 times. Have you read all of her books? You should. She's funny and romantic and she was actually making some pretty bold statements about social class and the role of women in Regency England. She was the Nora Ephron of the early 1800's. And come on...Mr. Darcy!! (You can get all her books FREE on the Kindle. So do it!!)

6. My Starbucks drink is a Grande Black Tea Latte with six pumps of classic syrup. It is NOT good for me.

7. When I'm around my friends, I listen to really cool music. (But when I'm alone, in my house, I sing and dance around to the Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieber and the soundtrack to the Little Mermaid.)

8. I'm still waiting for my Mr. Darcy. (In other words, I'm single). I think Jane Austen would think I'm a spinster! I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I spend most if my time either with 5 year-olds, in Hobby Lobby, listening to Justin Bieber or watching reality TV on my couch? Hmmm....

9. I have the cutest dog in the world. Don't argue...

10. I am starting at a new school this year and I'm scared! I feel like I'm 5 years old and am starting kindergarten for the first time. Will they like me? Will I make friends? Will they have toys there? Insert worried face {here}.

"Will they have toys there?" = best question about a new school ever. Hahaha!
And your dog is quite cute. :)

Your dog is precious! I am in Austin too and I am moving to a new school. I understand your worries completely. :)

I LOVE Jane Austen and have also read all of her books. I like some more than others, but by far, my favorite is Pride and Prejudice. BEST book EVER!!! I read it again and again because it helps me be a better person. (Only another Janeite would understand that!!) Darcy is amazing, of course, and I really want to be friends with Elizabeth Bennett. Just imagine if you had someone like her for your best friend!

If after reading this post, we all love you, please know that the teachers at your new school will adore you! The kinders will love you (but that's easy, right?)

Take care!

P.S. I am about 45 minutes from San Francisco and LOVE my California so much!

Good luck at your new school! I have been new to many schools, but once you get over that initial first day with everyone, it feels a lot better!

Good luck at your new school. You'll be great. I listened to the 90s station on pandora on my way home today and rocked out to backstreet boys and nysnc and spice girls. It was awesome!

Ditto! Your new school is going to benefit from your passion and knowledge.

You've only read Jane Austen three times! I'm sure I've got you beat there. Have you read Becoming Jane? Great read.

They'll love you, but they are going to be a smidge jealous of your creativity and your cool classroom.
