I had to take an unexpected break from swap-bot about a 18 moths ago. I am back and i do apologize for the three swaps I left hanging. I know 18 months is a long wait but I will make it up to you and fix the ones I have not sent.

Life had a few changes and it was rough going but i have made it through to the other side and I am back!!!

The first thing I always tell people when they ask about me is that I am a teacher, dance team coach and a Special Olympics coach. I love my job and even though it isn't the best paying job I wouldn't do anything else.

I have two younger brother and a little sister. I'm a closet nerd who loves to geek out over things but I normally keep my "obsessions" to myself until you get to know me.

I have the sweetest Pit Bull puppy (OK fine, he is three) ever! He is my big teddy bear. Barbosa is my baby. When my friends talk about their kids, I talk about my puppy.

I like all music.... if you were to ask me for the top 10 on my amazon music app it would seen as if more than one person used the app, but I will be the first to start singing when "black Parade" comes on! Some of my favorite groups/artists are: Halsey, Panic at the disco, Queen, Evanescence, and The Piano Guys, ABBA... just to name a few.

I am currently working on adding to my 300+ vinyl collection. I found most of them in my grandparents closet when we cleaned out their house a few years ago. It is one of the ways I feel connected to them still. When I play the old records I can imagine what it was like at one of their many parties they would have when they were younger.

The one song I always put on when I get in the car right now is...

"Strange Love"

These days I can't seem to get along with anyone

Get by with anyone

These days I can't seem to make this right

Well, is this fine? Will it be alright?

That's the beauty of a secret

You know you're supposed to keep it

That's the beauty of a secret

That's the beauty of a secret

You know you're supposed to keep it

But I don't have to f-ing tell you anything,

anything

So because of work I have been reading more "kids" books lately (James Patterson wrote some kids book I love reading to my class) but I do enjoy fantasy books the most. And yes I read Twilight and Fifty Shades... we all have our week moments (so I might have liked them but ill never tell) LOL!

I wish I could say I have a list of favorite authors and books but I have been living out of a storage unit for the last two years(where I an now I don't have room for ANY of my stuff) so ALL of my book are in storage :( saddest thing ever.

I do love:

Harry Potter

Lord of the Rings

The Mortal Instruments Series

The Abhorsen Series

Authors:

James Patterson

Orson Scott Card

Dan Brown

and more....

This is where I geek out the most. I am addicted to watching the special features of the movies I love. I have the crazy need to know everything, and if you have the opportunity to watch said movie with me... sorry cause I'm gonna share ALL of my knowledge with you.

Harry Potter

Fifth Element

Tomorrowland

Disney Movies

any musical

this is a VERY small sample of the movies I could watch over and over again.

When it comes to TV shows it has to hold my interest and not repeat itself to much... so the crime shows are not my thing.

Doctor Who

Big Bang Theory

Claws

GOT

Shameless

Roseann

Teachers

Little Lunch

Rehab Addict

Plus I an a mission to watch everything on Netflix while on summer break.

Most of my crafting is for the classroom (task boxes and decorations) But I do enjoy the painting classes local artists give and I love crocheting baby blankets for new moms : ) I use to be a crazy scrapbooker but now that everything is online I don't get that much opportunity to do it anymore.

WASHI TAPE IS LIFE!!! I love to make small paper crafts and decorations for my classroom.

Glitter is the way to my heart... If I could wear glitter everyday I would. I have wished I could paint my house with glitter accent walls but the men in my life would never allow it LOL.

I am currently into the Happy Planner right now... It is one way I keep my head on straight throughout the school year. Without my Planer I wouldn't know what day it was LOL :)
