Currently~~January 2013

Happy new year! We had a great time with our neighbors last night. A night of games and friends...perfect way to ring in the new year.

Farley's Currently went up fast and furiously! I always enjoy doing these. Great time to reflect!

Listening: Ok, so I'm not being rude and listening to my friend critique my essays while doing the Currently. She was over earlier helping me tweak the 6 essays I have to write for a nomination for a teaching award. The essays are due by January 11th! 2 more to go!

Loving: If you know anything about San Antonio and Fiesta, you know that one must have a fabulous wreath for your door. It must have lots of flowing ribbons, be bright, glittery and festive! I found these flowers that I'm going to use to make a wreath.

Thinking: I really need to get these essays finished and grade the 2 tons of papers in my school bag.

Wanting: We just ordered a gorgeous wrought iron bed...king size! I am super excited.

Needing: Writing has always been a challenge for me...which is why it is so bizarre that I took up blogging! Anyway...I know that I need to just knock these essays out and be finished, but here I am doing a bit of fun writing. Some might call it procrastinating...I like to refer to it as a brain break!

OLW:  I was watching a Lifetime movie when a Special K cereal commercial came on. They are having a "movement" about losing weight and what you will gain if you lose the weight.  My word for the new year has always been...lose, why not gain this year. 
Gain the power to say no...it really is ok.
Gain the strength to get on that treadmill every day and resist queso and chips. (Going on a cruise in May!)
Gain the laser like focus to get work done at school so I'm not bringing home the 2 ton bag and get out the school door at a reasonable time.

Happy January 1st!
