Tomorrow is Monday

I love great weekends but am always sad to see them go. Tomorrow is my FIRST day at my new job and I feel like a little kid again! I’m starting at a local middle school as an instructional aid for math classes with students who need a little extra one on one time. I COULD NOT be more excited! I made the decision to go back to school after working for a real estate firm for a couple of years and am majoring in Middle School Education. This job is perfect and gets my foot in the door. I probably definitely won’t be able to sleep tonight.

I’m hammering down a name for my sewing machine this week and would love for you to vote on the side for your favorite name out of the bunch. Help me with my indecisiveness:

Darla
Big Boy
Bobbin’ Betsy (Bob for short)
Rosie

I have found my favorite stitch: the scallop!  So much fun!  What's your favorite stitch?



finally updated my about me page.  Here are some more random things about me:

1. I have permanent retainers

2. I have to have the fan on while sleeping

3. Our first pet Jaws, a 3 ½ yr old betta, died this past weekend and I cried, a lot

4. I wear a size 9 ½-10 size shoe and it’s so hard to find cute shoes

5. I walk pretty slowly; I know, everyone hates being behind the slow-poke!

6. When I find a song I like, I will listen to it on repeat and it drives T CRAZY

7. I can only whistle by sucking the air in

8. I was Cinderella in a county play when I was 10

9. I have only had one car: a camry named Elvis. Still going strong!

10. My eyesight is terrible and I can hardly ever wear contacts because they irritate my eyes (they turn RED within an hour) which means I can never wear sunglasses. I’m too scared to get the Lasik eye surgery because you’re AWAKE.

  14. I vote Bobbi' Betty, since it is like Bouncing Betty from a MASH episode. I think we are going to name mine Guido which will make Asher happy.
    (I totally agree on the size ten shoes, they need to make cute, affordable shoes for my banana boats:)
