O.M.G.

I haven't done much today.  I'm enjoying my time off.  I spent most of the day watching my DVR and blog hopping!  I have found some fantastic ideas that I can't wait to try.  Oh, and I also found an awesome website, www.picmonkey.com , that I used to create my brand new blog button!!--------------------->>>>>>>>>>>> (on the right).

 I like it much better than my last one (that I made in MS Paint.).  It made things super easy!  I did have to look up how to create the box and html code...but hey!  Tech isn't my thing...but in a few years, maybe I'll be an "expert". Ha ha!
 
Any Hoo...while I was hopping, I clicked on a blog link to simply check out new news.  And, low and behold, did I receive a huge surprise!!! A total "OMG" moment!!

Andrea over at One Teachers Take had received a Top 10 Blog List award.  As I read her post, I found that she had mentioned my blog, along with several others, and had asked her readers to check it out!!  I was so excited that my blog was mentioned!  Well, Andrea then commented on my blog that she was actually passing a top 10 award on to ME!!  (I'm such a newbie, I didn't realize it!!)

OOOMMMMGGG!!!  I am so excited!!  Experienced teacher bloggers are interested in reading my blog!!  Here is my award:

 I have this wonderful quote from, of course, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.  (It's an obsession...sorry!)  I think it is absolutely fitting for the wonderful Blog Land I'm now an official part of...

"There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other..."--J.K. Rowling  


And blogging about teaching is one of them!!

(In the book, the quote actually ends with something about a mountain troll...hahahahaha)

Always,
