A Few Things About Me..

Random, not very interesting facts about me.

I LOVE Snapple Ice Tea, it is my favorite and my kids are usually able to "read" the label at a very young age. I don't just like any Snapple, I like this one and pretty much only this one in a glass bottle cold (NOT plastic- it doesn't taste the same). Some facts about me and Snapple. I love to shake it up, hit the bottom hard (to pop the lid) and then crack it open- I love the sound. That first taste of a COLD Snapple- so good.

Another truth about me and Snapple is that I don't drink it often (unless I am at the beach) but I usually keep one hidden someplace in my fridge so that on those days...you know those days...the ones where your brain doesn't work, the kids are melting down and you just need something to feel better about life...those kind of days (I know that isn't very godly or theological- but God does give us all things to enjoy)...anyway on those days... I crack one open and smile.

Another random fact about me is I love American History so about a year ago I started reading biographies on American Presidents. I am only on James Madison (to be honest he is pretty boring).

Today, as I was drinking a Snapple, I read on the lid (where they give you "Real Facts") that Abe Lincoln was the tallest president at 6'4" and James Madison was the shortest at 5'4". Now isn't that interesting.

Anyway, enough about me.

My Creative Moment

I often tell people that I am not creative, I guess this is only partially true. The real truth is that I am not crafty. I am purely a girl of function, beauty is second-rate compared to function in my world. So I had a problem. In planning for our school year I didn't have any place to hang maps. I looked at getting those pull-down classroom maps but they were over $200 and that just isn't in the budget. So in a rare creative, somewhat crafty moment I thought why I don't I just try to make my own using vinyl shades and these paper maps that I have. I spent $12 and probably a hour and half and this is what I got.

I am so pleased with my results- I hope they last BUT even if they don't I only spent $12.
