10 Day You Challenging (or the get my butt back into blogging regularly challenge)

I found this challenge on another blog and thought that I would play along. In case you haven't noticed, in typical teacher-on-summer-break fashion, I have been extremely slack...since life is picking back up (and I have a handy, dandy new laptop--thanks Ang!), I'm going to devote more time to my Thoughtful Spot. Here goes....

10 Secrets:

1. Since Stephanie has started college, I have been thinking a lot about my years in school. I loved college (Go Tarheels!), but I don't think that I truly took advantage of my college experience. I wish that I could go back and participate in more activities, go to more games, and simply enjoy the freedoms that youth offers...you know, no bills, no responsibilities, no worries.  I wouldn't change the main things, of course, just make more sweet Carolina memories...

2. I love reality television! I watch several, but I'm almost afraid to admit one of my favorites...it's pointless and trashy at times yet down-right addicting. I will admit that I have been known to watch the marathons on E whenever I can...it's Keeping Up With The Kardashians! (I know, I know....I'm a sucker for it--truly sad..:) As you can guess, I can't wait to watch the "American Royal Wedding" Special in October...lol...

3. I'm pretty sure that I made a mistake when I chose to be a teacher (gulp--this is a biggie, I know)...I started out liking my profession, but over the years, it has become less and less appealing. It's not the students (I actually like the teaching part). Rather, it's all of the paperwork and bureaucracy that makes it almost unbearable. The problem is that I have too much time invested to get another job, not to mention the fact that I LOVE my summers off. What a dilemma.....

4. I'm addicted to my IPhone. Period.

5. I have a novel inside of me dying to get out...I'm sure of it! All I have to do is get the courage to write it.


6. I love to do laundry. I don't know why, but I find it cathartic....Putting it away after I fold it is another story though....


7. I love reading blogs.  I have several that I read religiously. Just recently I read a post that said that blogs are like porn for women...that's a drastic analogy, but I agree with it one hundred percent. I probably have 50 bookmarked on my phone. Is there some type of therapy for this?


8. I get a natural high from planning, packing, and going on trips. Maybe I was a travel agent in another life?  Ironically, I actually chose the travel industry for a career project while in high school...hmmm..maybe I should have stuck with that as a career path instead of teaching??


9. I love sweets and milk before going to bed,


10. I check People.com at least ten times during the day...no major celebrity news will get away from me! lol
