Happy Thanksgiving Break! Oh, you’re not on vacation? Sorry, I’m not sorry.

• Ms.
• Brookie
• Hun/Babe/Love

Four jobs I’ve had:

• Textbook buy-backer on a college campus.

Four movies I’ve watched more than once:

This was the last time a year and a half ago.

Four of my favorite foods:

Four things I’m looking forward to this year:

• Spring break in the Caribbean with my parents
• Rob possibly competing in a half Iron Man
• Track season – I’ve been hard core recruiting and am pumped about some of the verbal commitments I’ve gotten.
• The future of Wrecking Routine!

Four things I’m always saying:

• Don’t be a victim in your own life.
• What’s the common denominator here? – This is what I ask my students when they blame all their teachers for all their failing grades. Basically, it’s your fault.
• If you can’t get out of it, get into it
• You’re not the boss of me! – This is a running joke with my family.

There you have it! A whole bunch of things you may or may not know about me!
