25 Random Things About Me...

I was tagged on facebook to write 25 random things about me. I figured I'd publish the list here as well...

1.I love to cook. Food Network is probably my favorite tv channel. I take the ideas and make up my own recipes.
2.It really bothers me when the ‘ou’ combination is pronounced ‘oo’ like in the words soup and group.
3.I love my family, and love how it grows every year. It was fun growing up with four brothers, even better to get some sister-in-laws, and absolutely the best to have all nieces now, but hopefully a nephew soon!
4.I don’t like to clean, and wish I could hire someone to do it for me.
5.I consider my parents to be two of my best friends, and hope I can raise a family like they have someday.
6.Day drinking is the best kind! Especially at Irish pubs.
7.I HATE driving. It makes me nervous because I don’t trust other drivers. My most proud driving accomplishment: I commuted from Conshohocken to Woodbury, NJ everyday from August – November.
8.I follow a gluten free diet, and try to convince people they need to follow it too!
9.Harry Potter is the greatest series of books I have ever read.
10.I don’t like olives, but am obsessed with pickles.
11.I DVR every show, and fast forward through commercials.
12.Whenever I order a sandwich or burger without a roll the waitress asks Kevin if he wants a roll with his…when the waitress walks away Kevin always makes a comment.
13.I am a teacher.
14.I believe that everything happens for a reason.
15.I am a huge Phillies fan…I love the whole team, but my fav is Jayson Werth.
16.My favorite part time job was working at Starbucks.
17.I own a pair of black sneakers that I wear to work with black pants…they are shiny Nikes. I think teachers should be allowed to wear sneakers everyday.
18.I love to laugh, and love to make people laugh.
19.My husband is a saint to put up with me…97% of the time I am happy, but I do yell for no reason, and can be extremely cranky when I am tired or hungry.
20.I drink water constantly.
21.When I start reading a book I find it impossible to put it down until I finish.
22.I am thankful to have so many great friends in my life.
23.The only time of year I go to McDonald’s is when they sell Shamrock Shakes.
24.I love to read about the art of teaching reading and writing, and believe it makes me a better teacher.
25.Life is so much better spending everyday with the man I love.

Be Flexible

(FRIDAY) The alarm sounded at 5AM this morning and I hit snooze...5 more minutes! When it rang again I sprung from bed, put on my workout clothes and headed out the door to yoga. I love to begin my day with yoga, and find on the days that I practice in the morning I am more centered and peaceful. I've often thought about how incredible it is that so many people wake up early to come to yoga, or to work out. It's like an entire different universe of people who are up before the sun - ready to start their day on their terms rather than on the typical hustle and bustle that fills our lives. This morning just as class was beginning one of the other ladies jumped up from her mat and said, "Ok, plan B today. The first teacher overslept, and I'm going to be teaching class this morning. I recognized this lady right away - she is another teacher at the studio, so it wasn't just a random person. But, then I thought, she came this morning for herself, and when she found out

Pizza Hut

When I think back to my own childhood, I remember countless meals eaten at the Montgomerville Pizza Hut. If I close my eyes I can picture the red and white check tablecovers, the cafe style flimsy chairs, the buffet in the middle of the restaurant, and most of all, my family of 7 gathered around a rectangular table. I remember begging for quarters to play the arcades, and when we got older, to put in the jukebox. I remember the waitresses and how they practically knew my dad by name. I remember the pitchers of soda that inevitably got spilled all over the table and floor. But, most of all, my favorite memory of Pizza Hut was the great times we had while we were there. Remember this? Tonight I had the wonderful experience of taking my own children to Pizza Hut for the first time. Although the Montgomeryville Pizza Hut is closed, the one we went to had the same feel to it. We met my dad there. I arrived first, and knew just what to order - Thin and Crispy with Green Peppers. Pizza

Parallel Lives

In 10th grade I decided to switch high schools. Initially, I was a bit nervous to make the move, but the moment I walked into Upper Dublin I knew it was the right move for me. The music, athletic, and academic programs were top-notch. But, most of all, the people I met at Upper Dublin were welcoming, kind, and caring individuals. There was one girl I knew that even back in high school when you are easily influenced, was not afraid to be herself. I remember on one of my first days as a new student she welcomed me and asked if I needed any help. Really she always went out of her way to chat with me. I would say in high school we were acquaintances. After high school I lost touch with her. But, she reappeared at my cousin's wedding. One of her best friends was marrying my cousin. Weird. But, it was nice to reconnect and check in on how life was going for her. The next year, she began teaching Special Ed in Central Bucks School District. I remember looking around the auditorium and s
