Who knew that the most stressful part of my evening would be choosing a name for my blog? Not sure I love it yet, but it will do for now and I suppose it does give my readers an idea of some of the things I will discuss in my blog.

I am currently addicted to The Office right now. I don't have television, so I watch it all through instant Netflix. I am nearing the end of season 5 and it drives me crazy when people share details of episodes I have not seen yet. I often find myself wanting to say, "That's what she said." in the middle of conversations with friends and complete strangers. The latest urge to use the line was during a discussion with my boss (the principal of the school I teach at) as she was going over my performance evaluation...might be time to start watching a new show.

I am also currently addicted to coffee. I love the new french press I received for Christmas. It is like drinking an entirely different kind of coffee, but I hate all of the work that goes into using it. My favorite coffee comes from Kona. I prefer a flavored blend, something with vanilla or macadamia nut or both. But I hate spending the money to get good coffee. I often get up in the morning and put a couple spoonfuls of Folgers into my old, unwashed, 2-cup coffee pot from college and call it good.

I am in my third year of teaching 4th grade, which might explain the coffee addiction...and my addiction to The Office. I enjoy my job, but hate the politics. I love the kids, but don't always love the adults that come with them. I want to work less and get paid more.

This is my first time blogging, so bear with me as I figure this out. :)
