Currently in July

I'm kind of on the late show here, but it's only July 3rd and I really wanted to link up with Farley! I spotted her linky parties multiple times on Pinterest before launching my blog, so I'm SUPER excited to be able to link up. I can not believe July is here. Ugh! I'm not ready! This means I've been out of school for almost 4 weeks! Where'd those days go?

Kathy Lee and Hoda....those 2 gals are so silly! Don't tell them, but their drinking sometimes scares me. 

It's extremely important to have a working AC here in central California because this heat is just ABSURD! The projected high is 110! I did run some errands yesterday, but am definitely staying in today. 

I love summer time because that means I have time to hang out with my AMAZING husband (I promise you'll hear more about how fabulous he is in the future)! We've been breaking out the board games. We brought over a lot of his childhood games when we moved into our home. Yes, he still has his old board games (and ninja turtles and action figures and books and ... you know how that goes). Anyways, I'd never played Uno. So he taught me how to play Disney Uno. I think it's time we buy some new grown up versions of these board games. 

I won a Calendar Notebook from Smiling in Second Grade!! It's a 2-for-1 kind of deal (calendar & notebook)! Yeay! It's one of the MANY items I had on my Wishlist. I'm hoping to print it and put it together this weekend. I can't wait to share more about it once it's put together.

I'm supposed to be reading Reading for Meaning (Debbie Miller). I chose this book for professional development purposes, but I'm also receiving course credit for it. Of course, I have to read the book in order to write a paper about it. Unfortunately, I set it down last week and haven't had any desire to pick it back up. 

My tip: Always make sure to leave thoughtful or meaningful feedback. This goes for blogging and TpT. 

TpT: I think it's important to leave feedback that may be helpful to the seller. Is there something they should keep doing? Or something that may have been even more helpful it were changed or added? 

Blogging: I think it's important to make connections with others, the authors and each other. Don't forget to share an opinion or something you found relatable. Okay, I hope that didn't come across as a lecture. It's really about connecting with others. ^_^

Well, I'm off for now. Happy hump day!
