fill in the blank friday

I thought since my brain is a little fried today I would join in the fun : ) So I'm linking up with Lauren for some fun. 

1.  The highlight of my week was   Being let out of school two hours early today! Although, the reason for the early dismissal was not a good one. With threats of impending tornados we released early so all the kids could get home safely before they hit. And boy did they hit. Thankfully we were able to go hide out in a friends basement and as far as I know there was no serious damage done where we are. Though not every one was so lucky.

2.   If I had to classify my interior design aesthetic it would be  What-I-think-is-cute-and-is-on-sale :) Is that a type? And I try to keep it shabby chic. If I can.

3.  My first vehicle was   I don't really know that I can say I had a vehicle that was "my" first. Family members let me use their cars for extended amounts of time: A black 1998 Saturn and a red 1988 Volkswagen Fox [I had some adventures with the Fox but more to come on that later :]

4. An item I need to have in my day in order to function is  My watch. I cannot live without it [ok. not true. but it pretty much feels like it]. My watch is essential as a teacher. I have forgotten it twice this whole year... not good.

5. My favorite way to waste time is  Making lists in my planner of everything I need to get done [and sometimes to make me feel really productive, I write things I have already done, just so I can check it off the list and make myself feel accomplished :]

6. Right now I could really go for   A good tooth brushing.

7.  This weekend I will be  Grading papers like it is my business. Which, in reality, I suppose it is. I just really really loathe grading papers and working on school stuff at home. I need a break! But the end of the grading period is coming up and I have a few students who want to murder me for not grading their papers. ugh. Hopefully this weekend is very very productive and also relaxing.
