Well, I didn’t go shopping on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Our family is just so over trying to guess what the other wants. We just bake, and spend time together. However, I found a HUGE Cyber Monday treat in my inbox this evening! Bailey Sturdy has nominated me for a liebster blog award!!! I am so honored and most appreciative. Now, I just have to live up to it by posting more regularly, and by coming up with more original ideas to share.
Here are the rules for the Liebster award:
1. You must post 11 random things about yourself.
2. Answer the questions that the nominator set for you.
3. Create 11 questions for the people you nominate.
4. Choose 11 other blogs with fewer than 200 followers to nominate and link them in your post.
5. You cannot “tag back” the other blog, but leave a comment on this post with the URL of your Liebster post so I can learn more about you & see who you nominate.
But, I think I will reverse the order just a bit. First, here are the answers to Bailey’s questions for me.
1. What is your favorite dessert? Gosh, this is a tough one! I’ll enjoy just about ANY dessert, but my favorite probably has to be a toss-up between French silk pie and moose tracks ice cream.
2. Beach or mountains? Beach! I like to swim, and walk on the beach.
3. If you could travel anywhere you want, where would you go? Back toSpain
4. What was the last dream you had? I dreamed I was staying overnight at my school for some bizarre reason, and then felt afraid that I’d set off the security system if I went in or out of the building in the dead of night!
5. What is your favorite grade to teach? K – 1. The sooner we catch the ones that lag & get ‘em up to speed, the better.
6. If you could go back to any time in your life, what would it be? Actually, I don’t think I would. I’m pretty contented these days. ;)
7. What color are your eyes? blue
8. Do you have any pets? Not now, but I used to have a few chickens. They lay the best eggs. And, I used to have a gray cockatiel too.
9. Are you a night owl or early bird? I’m a semi early bird. I like getting up between 7:30 and 8 when I have a choice. I’m quite a party pooper though, I tucker out between 10:30 and 11:00.
10. Does your classroom have a theme? If so, what is it? No, unfortunately. It seems all I can do to keep it together sometimes. ;)
11. What is your favorite movie? Oh gosh, can I pick 2? The Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins. I LOVE musicals!

Now, here’s 11 random things about me:
1. I’m a native Florida girl, born & raised in St. Petersburg
2. I used to have hair down to my waist, but I had it cut to my shoulders last year.
3. I teach a few random different things: I tutor elementary schoolers, I teach typing to adults, and I teach music to toddlers through pre-K.
4. I started graduate school specializing in ESOL last September, and I look forward to posting about it.
5. I play the pipe organ as well as the piano.
6. I also like to bake cakes and cookies. I especially like decorating sugar cookies.
7. I can be moderately crafty at times when I’m feeling creative.
8. I’ve been working on a simple rhyming children’s book called Duck in a Truck, and drawing the pictures. I love to draw, but I’m really terrible at it. ;)

10. I like scented candles and nice, hot baths.
11. I have a slight vision impairment that can’t be corrected with glasses, which prevents me from driving. I’m always relying on others for rides. ;( And I go through life using magnifiers for anything and everything, which is okay.
