Listening: Nina and Star are so calming! We let my daughter nap a little too long, so now I have to stay up a little later than we should on a school night!
Loving: When my mom-in-law was here a couple of weeks ago, she left a red blend behind. I'm loving it! (and I usually wait for cooler weather before cracking open the reds!)
Thinking: Parent conferences begin in 9 days - - - That's right - NINE DAYS! That's only 7 school days! Time to kick it into high gear so I have plenty of great stuff to share with mom and dad.
Wanting: It's been almost a year since we last went to the Happiest Place on Earth, and I'm really wanting another magical weekend with my hubbs and the lovely señorita Lopez.
Needing: Refer back to "Thinking" - with our quarter wrapping up in 3 short weeks, I've got to catch up on grading quizzes, unit assessments, etc.
3 Trips: I LOVE to travel! One of my life goals is to visit all of the continents (Antarctica is sometimes on my list, sometimes off - I DO NOT like the cold!) But 3 very realistic travel goals are:
1. Sweden - my grandfather's family came to the US from Sweden, and although I'm a big ol' cultural mix (the beauty of Americans!), I've always felt a strong connection to Sweden. I hope to see one of my many ancestral homelands some day.
2. Italy - Who doesn't want to go to Italy? The art, the history, the wine. We WILL go someday.
3. Costa Rica - We were supposed to go to Costa Rica for our honeymoon, but due to a mix-up with the hubbs' passport, we went to the beautiful, enchanting island of St. Lucia. I would love to take a second honeymoon to Costa Rica, too! Surf, sun, culture.
I love red blends! Apothic Red is probably my favorite cheapie!
ReplyDeleteOooo! I love Apothic Red, too! The one I'm drinking tonight is Menage a Trois. It is a new favorite!
DeleteI really want a Disney trip too! It's been a year and a half since I took my family to Disneyland and we are all dying to go back!! I can't believe you're almost done with your 1st quarter already! I've only been teaching 2 weeks so far. Have a great school year and good luck with conferences!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to your first Currently! I laughed when I thought of your red wine...I don't usually drink, but every year, as school begins, I keep teasing hubby that this might be the year that I start drinking...lol
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of the assessment. Our school division is doing a lot of new assessments this year, so I am already stressing out over what I have to do, even though we don't even start school until tomorrow!
Have a great year!
First of all, my life goal is the SAME to visit all the continents! And yes, Antarctica is on my "to visit" list, but it a little bit stresses me out. I am currently only at 4 continents, but 36 countries! Disneyland is always a good choice. As for school.... I haven't even started yet, so it is crazy that you are finishing your first quarter! Good luck with conferences!
