Since Kristin called me out I am linking up with those cute California girls {Krisin and Hadar} and their 11 in 11 linky! Click the button to link up at the end!
11. Favorite movie you watched
Sadly we save our theatre trips for the kids, but I did see one grown up movie this year RED with Bruce Willis…
 |
| Great guy movie that I secretly liked! |
 |
| Best movie I have laughed out loud at in a VERY long time. The Other Guys. |
THE OTHER GUYS…It wasn’t from 2011 so I guess that’s cheating but I loved it! The kid’s movies I was able to tolerate were The Muppets, Chipmunks, Smurfs, Puss in Boots, and Hop. (yup kids are spoiled)
10. Favorite TV series
I love Biggest Loser, Modern Family, Survivor, Toddlers and Tiaras (daughter bonding time), The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Parenthood, I like the Idol auditions and the finale- not so much the inbetween, Community, Big Bang Theory, So You Think You Can Dance, My step sister wants me to watch Homeland (she says she and Ellen are totally addicted) But honestly since blogging my tv viewing has suffered…
9. Favorite restaurant
My favorite restaurant is a steak house called Chama Gaucha. It’s amazing!!!! It’s really expensive so it is a once a year type of place.

| don’t worry they won’t kill you. It just appears that way. They walk over and slice you a piece of meat as long as you want and as much as you want. |
8. Favorite new thing you tried
My HP Touch pad. I am still not so sure about it, but I like it and I am glad I tried it. Hubby got it for me for Christmas.
7. Favorite gift you received
My kids bought me jewelry for Christmas. Don’t be jealous. It’s priceless to me!

| daughter bought this one |
 |
| son bought this one |
6. Favorite thing you pinned
 |
| This one cracks me up every time |
5. Favorite blog post
My Top Ten Reasons You Know It’s Back to School was my favorite because it was the first post I really let my personality take over. and I shared my embarrasing singing video and ya’ll still seemed to want to revisit my blog. It was majorly special to me!!!
Discovery Bottles was the Post that sort of put me on the map as a blogger…
4. Favorite accomplishment
Teacher of the Year at my School
and Opening My Teacher Store This Summer!
3. Favorite picture
 |
| The family on Easter |
 |
| The kids on easter in black and white. |
2. Favorite memory
Right now it is laughing so hard as a family on our way home from the chipmunk movie. But for the entire year…not really sure. Nothing majorly significant happened that I can remember. Just happy to be healthy and able to pay our bills.
1. Goals for 2012
Get my running back up! set down the fudge and put on the shoes.
Give my students everything I can possibly give them by making the extra time to plan a rigorous rest of the year with fun added in of course!!!
Give my LOVE to my family and make sure they know just how much they mean to me!

Thank you, buddy, for linking up!!!! 🙂
If Ellen likes Homeland, I guess I'd better add it to the TiVo to do list.
Congrats on Teacher of the Year!!! Where's that post????
PS I just tried the link and it appears to work. ????? Now I feel dumb. Can you ask genius son to check again for me. Or did genius son hack into my account and fix it for me?
I love your family pictures! Your kids are very cute! Congrats on teacher of the year! That is a GREAT accomplishment! You go girl! 🙂
The Cookie Monster cupcake pin is one of my favorites too. Hilarious!!

The Other Guys was soooo funny. I love the whisper fight at the funeral.
And the tuna and the lion.
Didn't turn out the way you thought it would, did it?

Buzzing with Ms. B
So last night I couldn't sleep and I was creeping on old posts of yours and I totally forgot that I had won your Going Buggy unit back in August!!!!!! And I have pinned some of your classroom decorations back before we bonded over the math quilt. Wow!!!
Marvelous Multiagers!
Teach of the year?!?!? I knew you rocked it out and apparently other people do too!

Modern Family is one of my favorites, too! I LOVE Cam and Mitchell.
Love Modern Family and that PIN… Nailed it!…. Can't stop grinning about it. That's what usually happens with me and Pinterest. The husband just keeps looking at me and shaking his head. Haha!

Hi Reagan!
I can't get past the first paragraph because I am obsessing on how you made two different COLORED links. I'll be right back. I have to play with the color select-o-matic botton thing.

Finding JOY in 6th Grade
Hi Reagan,
I'm back to finish my thoughts… or maybe just thought (singular), because my brain seems to be working on slow-mo during this vacation!
I LOVE that black-and-white photo of your kiddos!
And while I love all of your posts (and clapped in awe and adoration when you sang your back to school song), my favorite (never-will-forget it) post will always be "…Slap your neighbor."
If you could turn on a Joy-O-Meter, that was a chart-topper for me. It STILL makes me laugh and I am a thousand miles from home and school.
Thanks for that, and for being such a great BloggyFriend, and for finding the error in my post this morning, and for having a blog I want to visit every day (even on vacation!)
Whatever you do today, I hope it's HAPPY!

I love how you mentioned you love American Idol auditions and the finale but not the in-between! I am the same way! Thanks for sharing!!! I love your blog!
I am laughing myself silly over those cupcakes! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I loved Puss in Boots and the Other Guys. Will Ferrell makes me laugh again and again. Congrats on being a TOY! That is an incredible honor. 🙂
I love your family photo! Beautiful! And I'm loving Modern Family!! Too, funny!! Thanks for such a great blog!

Okay – so I went back to view your favorite post – HILARIOUS! Talented singer/songwriter AND teacher of the year, that's impressive! Checked out your classroom pics while I was looking around – love the book barn. So cute!
