Random Dozen: #3

1. Please share one middle school memory. It can be good, bad, ugly, funny. Pictures or words, I don't care, just share. Hmmmm...I have many memories of middle school. One that I think is interesting, I found a few years ago in a box of memorabalia. There was an article in the class newspaper from our 9th grade year (we were in Jr. High School). It was what our classmates predicted we would be when we got older. My classmates predicted I'd be a marriage counselor! I laughed because I'm sure it's because I was the person with whom people often shared their relationship woes. While it didn't come true, I do think this is something that has followed me into my adult life.


2. What's your favorite Beatles song? Oh just one???? I was first going to say, "Michelle"...but then "Yesterday" came to mind followed closely by "I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends". I finally settled on "Hey Jude".

3. If I asked you to describe your most comfortable outfit, what would it be? My black workout pants and a t-shirt. I love lazing around the house in those pants...they move right with you.


4. Would you rather host a party or be a guest? Gosh, I LOVE hosting!!!! I mean I REALLY love it. I don't get to do it as often as I'd like. I'd host large and small gatherings weekly if everyone in my house liked it. I have to say that I also usually like attending parties...but the "fear of the unknown" sometimes makes me apprehensive. You know...what should I wear? Who will I know? How will the evening go? Uh...I think this question might be revealing a little of my inner control freak!!! ;-)

5. Do you think we will move completely from traditional books to digital ones, and if we do, are you OK with that? Nope. Nope. Nope. I like holding them! I need the pages. And the Literacy Coach in me just can't accept the fact that kids may one day not need them.

6. Do you learn best by reading, listening or experiencing? Experience is definitely best. Second to that for me is reading.

7. If you are (or when you were) single, what is the kiss of death for you concerning the opposite sex? (That is, what is one trait or behavior or habit or anything at all that immediately turns you off from considering that person a potential match for you?) Poor eating habits. And by that I mean, if I see your food in your mouth while you're eating....UGH! I can't stand that! Of course, body odor and unkempt greasy hair is right up there with eating like a cow for me.


8. Snacks. Salty or sweet? Salty all the way!!


9. Look around you in a four foot radius. What object is around you that you didn't realize was there or forgot was there? How long has it been there?
I am now in the Media Center on break from a workshop. There is an Eiffel Tower replica that I didn't know was there. It's probably been there for YEARS and I haven't seen it!!


10. What is your favorite Tom Cruise movie? Jerry McGuire..."You had me at Hello"



11. You buy a bottle of shampoo and discover that you don't like what it does to your hair at all. What do you do with that full bottle? Give it to my boys to use. They're boys, they'll use anything.



12. Your favorite Fall comfort food? (Last week it was beverage.) Without fail, it's PUMPKIN BREAD!!!
