What a morning, what a morning. I went for my first run in over a year! I may have complained for most of the way, but I FINISHED it without poopin’ out. Thanks hubs for forcing my hand . . . you know me all too well π Now that the blood is pumpin’ and my contest is over, I am going to join up with a LINKY I have been dying to get in on.
Okay, so I am about a decade late to Ms. Lemon’s PAR-TAY, but I still might qualify as “fashionably late” if I get this out today. I am going to join in the fun that Miss Kindergarten and Ms. Cupcake rolled with . . . The ABCs of me!
I don’t typically watch movies over and over, but there are a few that I have to stop on if they are on TV. In no particular order . . . Ghostbusters, Shawshank Redemption, and Jaws.
Wowza . . . there you be folks. The ABCs of little old me. If you haven’t already, pop on over to Amy’s blog and join in the linky fun!

Before I run off today, I have a winner in the big Rockin’ Resources Giveaway. Congrats to . . . Lori Archer! An email has been sent to ya girl. It’s time to cash in and collect all of your new goods π
Mrs. Castro says
Rad is a great word. X-rays are no fun, I've had too many of those too! Have you tried the Couch to 5K for getting back into running? I got the app on my phone and it's been really great – because otherwise I always push myself too hard and then give up. Just a thought.

I love it . . . I used Couch to 5K today!!! Great minds think alike π I can't run if I don't get to walk every now and again. And, this program actually tells you to stop running. Be still my heart! Thanks for visiting Laura!
Erin Franklin says
Love the ABC idea for the Linky! We have several things in common! Dogs, 1 cup of coffee a day, the kid situation, October birthday, and My Secret Single Behavior is the same! haha.. especially to songs that the hubby would make fun of me for even listening to!
I'm also getting ready to start running again- hopefully going to do a few 5K's this fall. I haven't done much of it since this spring. We have started riding bikes lately though and I really like it!

First with Franklin
teacherideafactory says
I so need a bike! I want a cruiser super bad . . . but, our neighborhood isn't all that great for it. Love that you dance around too. I typically pick crazy techno or dance hits (my hubs least fave) or 80's tunes to bust a move to. Thanks for stoppin' by!
Erin Franklin says
My husband is way into biking (he's doing a triathlon this weekend), so we have hybrid bikes. I didn't want anything fancy, but now that we have them I love it! I actually only live 3.5 miles from school, so I hope to ride my bike to school every now and then. That should win me some "cool teacher" points, right???
Sara Soucy says
October is my birthday month too! I also feel guilty when I'm not working but blogging and TpT have helped that!

October is the BEST! And you are so right . . . blogging and TPT have definitely helped in the "working" department π Thanks for chattin' Sara!
Stephanie says
Love it!! That's so funny that your mom was Travis's 1st grade teacher! Isn't it funny how things turn out? Our secret single behavior is pretty similar except I specifically like jamming out (loudly) to my favorite teeny bopper favs like Nsync and Britney! That and eating food in bed.

Yay . . . hi friend!! I jam out LOUDLY too! Hopefully the neighbors like my music π
Andi says
So much to comment on… *Tilly is such a pretty girl! *I used to play the 'glad' game all of the time when I was a kid. Some siblings did not appreciate it. *My Secret Single Behavior is to watch reruns of Sex and the City. I put my husband through it when it was first on the air; I'd hate to do it multiple times. The other is to rummage through my closet and create new outfits (or hideous ones.) *Love October, I almost had an October wedding but the stinking hurricanes put a damper on our plans. *Ghostbusters is hilarious and I quote from it all of the time. "Get Her!" π Bill Murray is my boy. *Sorry about your colon. It sounds like your surgery has kept you from requiring a bag. That's good. I still feel sore about having to have a colonoscopy before my parents. I don't want to go back to my Gastro doctor because I'm afraid he is going to tell me it's time for another!!!
Glad you made it to the linky. Better late than never (says the girl who is consistently late.)
~Andi
teacherideafactory says
We have SO much in common!! From October and Sex and the City to colon issues, we are in lock-step! Bill Murray is my absolute fave too. I used to rewind that "GET HER!" part over and over as a kiddo. He is hands-down the best thing about that movie (and pretty much all of the movies he is in). I go see my doc on Friday and I am totally dreading it. As you know, it is never a pleasant experience . . . ewwwww! Thanks for coming by Andi π
Leanne says
I LOVED reading this and getting to know you better! Cute idea of doing the ABC's of you!

Thanks Leanne . . . I totally stole the idea from Teri and Hadar. It was super fun to do it this way π
Kristen says
lololol!!! The glad game!! You crack me up π Tilly is absolutely beautiful!
teacherideafactory says
Ha! A little "Pollyanna" goes a long way π Thanks for coming by again Kristen. I am officially out of the "funk!"
Mrs. Cupcake says
Yay for October babies!! π

Yes! I found someone else that hates the sound of chewing as much as I do!!!!! Can't stand it! Fun learning more about such a sweet person!!
teacherideafactory says
Awww . . . you are too nice to me girl. Your comment made my night. From one loud chewer hater to another, let me leave you with a final thought . . . noisy eating in a movie theatre. I darn near have to walk out π
mrs. mindy says
So fun to learn more about you! Cute idea! I too HATE loud chewing {{shudder}} especially gum… gag!
teacherideafactory says
Hahahahaha . . . loud gum sounds like a cow and it's all "spitty!" ICKY!!! Thanks for swinging by today!!
Jill says
I love Restaurant Impossible too!! I hope the dancing at my wedding someday will be off the chain too! I was just telling somebody that if no one dances at my wedding, or if the dance floor is not full, it will probably ruin my whole day!! Haha!
Marvelous Multiagers!
teacherideafactory says
RI rocks . . . we rarely miss it. When the kitchens are dirty I always start freaking out and the hubs has to calm me down. Wedding dancing is the best! And, don't worry . . . it tends to just magically happen! Thanks so much for swinging by, Jill!
Tanya Solano says
Love me some Dexter and pizza! This is usually our Sunday night routine. Ghostbusters??? Just watched it twice {yep, twice} in the past week. But I can only watch Shawshank if it's not on commercial tv. Happy to know more about you!
