Anywho, I am super stoked about this linky. Loved it last year. LOVE it this year. It's a fun one for sure. Here goes nufin'.
Let's start with Monday's MEET THE TEACHER post. Here are 10 things you probably won't ever need to know about me or even care to know . . . but, in the name of teacher week I am going to force feed 'em to you just the same!
UN
I love me some alt music. My flavors of the week are St. Lucia, Bastille, American Authors, and MS MR.
DUEX
If you follow me, you already know that I create best when I haven't showered. Most of the time that means I haven't brushed my teeth either. I am still going strong at 5:11 out here in Cali . . . you know what that means . . . .
OMG . . . did I really just include this?? |
TROIS
The mister makes my world go round. We dink around a ton . . . if the neighbors peeked through the binds they would likely see us having sock races across the hardwood floor, a water fight of some sort, or a series of bad jokes from either party. Never a dull moment in Casa de Dolling.
He looks normal . . . it's a front I tell ya! |
QUATRE
We have a 10 year old black cat who thinks she owns the joint.
Meet Lou! |
CINQ
We also have a 3.5 year old lab-mix who is the apple of our both our eyes. She's our baby.
Meet Tilly! |
SIX
We live in a dump of a town way up in NorCal, but it's home. If we could move our jobs and our families, we'd scoot our bums up to Portland, Oregon in a heartbeat.

SEPT
Sunday is our TV night. All of our favorite shows are on packed into this one little night. From Dexter, Newsroom, Bar Rescue, and Restaurant Impossible to Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, and The Killing, our poor DVR is working overtime.
HUIT
I am an only child. I talked to my stuffed animals a lot as a kid.
NEUF
Teaching ain't my first gig. I have a degree in Journalism/PR and I worked in the Television Station Promotion biz for 5 years right after college. One of my duties was writing cruddy local commercials.
DIX
And, just for the record, I took Spanish in high school NOT French ;)
Moving on . . . here's my second part of the deal today - CLASSROOM DIGS. Okay, so you didn't really "win" anything other than only having to click once, but it just sounds better when I slant it this way (that PR degree comes in handy from time to time . . . hehehehehe).
Here's a quick look-see at my classroom. I will take better pictures (with the kids' work hanging). Look for it in an upcoming Five for Friday post.
Alright, the hubs is almost home and I have to at least put my hair into a nicer pony, re-apply deodorant, and brush the chompers. See you soon my friends. I have a freebie up my sleeve . . . just have to tie it up with a "purdy bow." Be sure to check the rest of Teacher Week. Hugs y'all and good luck this week.
