ABCs of Me

ABCs of Me is something I have used in the classroom for students to get to know each other at the beginning of the year.  I don't give them a topic for each letter, but have them come up with it on their own. It is a great way to learn about each other. Now I get a chance to do it too!
 I have learned a lot about other bloggers  by reading their ABCs so I thought I would share something about me with you.


(A) Age: 47  Hard to remember cause I feel don't feel like I'm this old.  This is my mother's age, not mine.

(B) Bed Size:  King

(C) Chore You Hate: Putting away the clean laundry. I will wash, dry and fold all day, but I don't like putting it away. 

(D) Dogs? Grew up with dogs and I do like them, but don't want the responsibility of taking care of one right now. I have 3 cats who entertain me.

(E) Essential Start Your Day Item: Allergy pill - those stinkin' cats and Florida's pollen make it a necessity.

(G) Gold or Silver? Silver

(H) Height: 5'6"  Shortest one in my family

(I) Instruments You Play: Started with piano lessons in elementary school, but my teacher asked me to stop because I never practiced. So I guess I was fired.  Regret that I didn't stick with it, but sports were my favorite pastime.

(Q) Quote from a Movie: "That's cool, baby..You know how it is...rockin' and rollin' and what not." Danny Zuko from Grease.  I say some form of this to my kids when they ask me how I'm doing.

(R) Right or Left Handed? Right.
