I like leaving work before the sun goes down. I especially like it when I go for a walk along the LG Creek Trail and then play on the swings after.
There’s something very stress-relieving about playing on the playground.
I like mixing all my foods together. The uglier the food, the happier I am. I’m not one of those people who cares about the presentation of my food. Because, to be honest, the more time spent on presentation means that less time went into making it taste good. So pile on the ugly food. I’m all about it.
The most amazing Fiesta salad. Ugly, isn’t it? BUT IT’S DELICIOUS.
I have always been a Subway groupie. I love when my sammys are filled to the brim with veggies. But I’m even more of a Subway groupie now that I found out they chop their salads.
I am madly in love with this Greek restaurant called Yiassoo. They have a few places around the area – one by work and one by my apartment. I love Greek salad in general, but they take it to a whole new level.
I love receiving packages. Especially when they’re filled with yummy treats. Completely obsessed with the raspberry/dark chocolate flavor
I love my middle school kiddos. Especially the overly dramatic ones. Like, what is it about middle school girls that need to stand up in the middle of class and announce, “I need to take my BAG to the BATHROOM with me because I have some GIRL issues going on.” We get it – you’re basically a baller because you’ve got your period. But for all those ‘rolling-my-eyes-at-you’ incidents, there are a million more that make me want to squeeze ’em, hold ’em tight, and never send them off to 9th grade.
I love those few months from August-December where I was thrown into a whirlwind of IEPs and crazy events at work. Because they have made me that much stronger as an educator. I was frustrated at first. Confused that they would put the newbie up to bat over and over and over. But I got more practice. And I got stronger. And I no longer feel inexperienced.
I love moments that make me stop and reflect. Stop and observe. Stop and appreciate.

YOUR TURN! 🙂
What are you lovin’ lately?
What’s the ugliest, most delicious combination of food you’ve eaten? (Because obviously I wanna try it)
Love the idea of Thankful Thursday! It’s the little things in life… 😉
Agree 🙂 I don’t always take the time to appreciate them, but that’s a resolution I’m trying really hard to keep!
I do NOT know how you work with middle school students. I had to take my high school leadership kds to the local middle school yesterday and kept thinking “these middle school kids are WEIRD!” I remember being a weirdo in middle school, though, so it’s all good!
Hahahah, I agree! It’s such an awkward age – figuring things out, hormones. So much going on! But it’s definitely a challenge. Sometimes I think, “Well if I can handle these kids, I can take on THE WORLD!”
But I love the crazies 🙂
