THE BIG 4-0

WHAT?!?!? WHO?!?!? ME?!?!?

sigh.....yes.....it's true.....

I AM

Though it feels more like

I AM

hehehe...get it?? 

I am old and creaky......so I need oiled....

Moving on........ :)

Actually 40 doesn't seem so old once you get there!

One goal for turning 40 was to lose 40 pounds!

Haven't done that yet! :)

(Now, in my defense, I DID make that goal in November, 

right before THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS!)

Do the math....impossible right! :)

Side note:

I heard the average weight gain between Thanksgiving and Christmas is....

.6 of a pound!!

SERIOUSLY?!? 

Lucky people.... :)

My other goal was to start a blog and gain

40 followers by my 40th!

I welcomed my 40th blogger 

4 days before my 40th!

Rae from Mindful Rambles......

You were my 40th follower!  

You can have any items you

want from my TpT store!

YES!! I said item(s)!

(Just email me and I will email them to you!)

I have been blog stalking for about a year now.

I have gained so many ideas from some pretty

AMAZING TEACHERS!

I figured it was time to give ideas back!

Thank you to all of my sweet followers who have been 

so welcoming into this bloggy world and for 

all of your wonderful comments 

and words of encouragement!!!

Thank you to all those I follow for all of your brilliant ideas, 

all you have brought to the teaching world 

and your inspiring posts!

BTW.....

How do others read, comment and respond?

I have always used Google Reader but it

doesn't give links to the blogs!  I would like

to comment on so many of your blogs but

don't know the best way!!  I feel like I spend

so much time clicking, clicking, clicking when

I could be reading!  Make sense????

Thank you to anyone who helps!!
