Something to Ponder

I think this is a great idea. I wonder what my "One little word" is for 2012! Maybe one of the following:

faith

appreciate

open

cherish

See the post where this concept comes from right here:
One Little Word

Bring on 2012!

A New Year is Coming !

Yes ~ I am posting a list.. It may say Christmas but it is more of my wish list. Since I am a teacher, I thought this image was just perfect for me! Plus, it is still the holiday season for a few more days!

My Wish List:

1. My own classroom. - It has been too long with this subbing business!

2. Good Health to continue in 2012

3. Another great year with the DH!

4. Good Health for family & friends.

5. Less getting stressed over things I cannot control.

6. Students who listen and respect me!

What are your 2012 wishes??

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to All

and

to All a Good Night!

I had a wonderful Christmas Weekend!

I started it with my annual visit to the local mall. I bought two last minute gifts because I could not pass up the deals! My Mom and I then sat and watched the crazy shoppers (mostly laughed at all them men going into Victoria's Secret!) We had coffee and chatted!

I had a visit with my Dad and his wife later that afternoon. We chatted for a few hours and exchanged gifts! Then DH and I headed to church for Christmas Eve Mass. They have it at 10:00 at night. I like listening to the choir every year!

Christmas morning arrived and DH and I exchanged gifts. He surprised me with a heart rate monitor for my spinning classes. I can't wait to use it! He also gave me a spa gift card, some children's books I wanted, Glee music, and some JETS socks. We relaxed all afternoon before heading to my Mom's for a yummy pasta dinner. I am STILL stuffed!

Mom gave me pjs, socks with snowmen & a Barnes and Nobles gift card. SIL gave us a gift card for Fridays.

We played a few board games before we came back home. It was a lot of fun!! I am sleepy! I am glad I have a week off from work.

Tomorrow is shopping on Boxing Day! ( I hope to buy myself a new top at a great price! ) I also will be tutoring two days this week which is exciting! The teaching/subbing break will be wonderful!

I hope Santa was good to everyone! It has been a joyous vacation & holiday !
