Six 'new' random facts about me:
1. I love grapefruit. I've gotten back into eating them again recently! I love peeling them (like an orange), taking each section and removing the fruit and not eating the 'skin' pieces. I know that's probably where a lot of the nutrients are, but I just don't like it. When I was growing up, I used to put the 'fruit' in the freezer for a bit and then eat it. Great!!
2. Music makes the world go around. Even now as I type, the silence is deafening. When I'm tired I find it a bit harder to concentrate with extraneous noise. I like to have music on in the background as I work.
3. I love to travel, but I almost despise flying. I used to love it! That was back in the day when you could almost count on having at least two seats to yourself. I remember the days of being able to sleep on 4 or 5 for hours. Those were the days of traveling in bliss:)
4. I love teaching. So maybe this isn't a new bit of information, but I am really enjoying being back in the elementary classroom this fall. It's a challenge and I think teaching secondary classes is easier, but I wouldn't trade my class for anything. Two favorite parts are our morning meetings and read-aloud time. (We're reading Flush by Carl Hiaasen)
5. My toenails are always painted. I can't stand the sight of them without nailpolish and it makes me smile:)
6. I love playing games. That's probably one of the things I miss most about not being around my family because we are always playing games. I'll have to wait until Christmas in Prague to get my fill I guess:)

I'm going to break the chain and not tag six people since I don't know that many more people who haven't already done this:) Feel free if you haven't to post six random facts:)
