Currently and a St. Patrick’s Day Makeover!

It’s that time again! Sweet Farley is hosting her monthly Currently link-up. If you’re not sure how to join, make sure you check out the tutorial below by Teresa at Confessions of a Teaching Junkie. She’s fabulous!

If you’ve hesitated to link up before, I hope you’ll feel comfortable joining in on the fun now!

Here’s mine!

Listening: It’s Sunday night, so in our house that means The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers. He watches so many of my shows during the week I don’t fight it. 🙂 

Loving: Last night my sweet boy took me on a mystery date. Peeps, he had this thing planned for weeks! I knew to set Saturday night aside for us and to be ready by 8pm, but that was it! 

on our way to fun!

We ended up at a super-swanky restaurant in Atlanta called Bacchanalia. Holy goodness. Five courses of absolute deliciousness. 

It’s definitely a special occasion place or once-in-a-blue-moon surprise night out for us, but it was the perfect surprise. 🙂 

Thinking: We had some flurries here this morning. Oh, if they had only come through tonight with a little more gusto. I need a snow day!

Wanting: Conjunctions to go away. Or at least be a little easier. I’ve found some fabulous (and free!) resources I’m looking forward to sharing with you this week after my kids have had a chance to use them. I’m also working on a few activities of my own. I just don’t understand why 8 and 9-year-olds need to know something now that I didn’t learn until middle school. Seriously?

Needing: If you didn’t see Teach123’s Tech Tips post on ergonomics, I highly recommend you go and check it out now. 

I’m pretty sure my new friend, the pinched nerve in my neck, has a lot to do with how I sit when I’m working at my computer. Sad face. While I try to find a way to convince the hubs I need a new desk, I’ve already ordered this wireless mouse:

Like, Love, Hate: I like apples. A lot. Growing up, part of my family owned an apple orchard and we had them all year round – sliced with peanut butter (my favorite!), in cakes and pies, fried in brown sugar, butter and cinnamon, in fruit salads and later, I learned how to make and preserve my own applesauce from my friend Kari, and her mom Cile. You can read their recipe here. They are both amazing cooks and women. 🙂

I love Anchorman. I think I might be even more in love with the idea of Anchorman 2. Especially since they keep announcing people they are adding to the movie.

 

Click Me!

It did get a new name, but I didn’t change it on TpT so that everyone who bought it last year can download the new goodies for free. I’ve doubled the number of pages in this fun packet with a new poem, 2 new responses – a skills scavenger hunt and a point of view activity, a mystery word and mystery phrase and a parts of speech sentence sort. It has taken me FOR-EVER, but I am marking it down through Tuesday to $5.00. If you snag it now, you’ll save $2.00!

Make sure that if you already purchased this last year that you go back into My Purchases and find it so you can download the upgraded version!

Have a fantastic week! I’ll be back soon! Go link up!
