-Hoarders on A&E
-Getting rid of the excess things in my life
-Thank you notes from my sweet little nephew

-Freezer paper stencil crafting with friends
-The Knitting Kneedle's secret weapon
-Book Club Lite
-Toddlers and Tiaras on TLC
-Watching the vegetables grow and grow and grow
-Taking care of business
-Reading books about Polygamy
-The Ugly Brown Sweater, which is now uglier than usual
-Getting letters from long lost friends
-Finally fixing the number line in my classroom (now 99 and 100 are present and not behind the cabinet)
-Smelly stickers, especially the Taco scented ones I found Cinco de Mayo (Ole!)
-The tadpoles that are quickly turning into froglets
