I just love love.

It's February, friends!  I am super excited for this month because I have so many exciting things coming up.  I am visiting good ol' Maryville (where I went to college) to visit some of my friends that still live there. I am also seeing with some of my close friends to plan a bachelorette party and bridal shower.  I can't wait to work out all the details so we can start planning for the bride :)

In honor of a new month, I'm linking up with Farley for February's Currently.

Listening: I'm always listening to Pandora.  At home, at school - my students even listen to classical piano while we have Writer's Workshop!  Pop Fitness Radio is one of my favorites!

Loving:  I am obsessed with Target.  I GOT SO MUCH STUFF TODAY.  I got some cute stickers and things for my kiddos to decorate their valentine bags with.  I got a few boxes of valentines for any of my friends that forget or don't buy valentines.  For my firsties from me, I found JUNIE B. JONES VALENTINES.  Yes, I am actually shouting.  I read aloud Junie B. almost everyday and she's become a class favorite (most likely because she's my favorite).  Look at these beauties:

I also found some gummy BRACELETS to give to the kids with their Junie B. valentines from me.  I mean what's a valentine without some candy to go with it?  Not to mention they are gluten-free (a must in my room)! 

I also got little bouncy balls.  I'm planning on getting some cheap Valentine plastic cups to put the valentine, bracelet and bouncy ball in.  For those of you who know how obsessed I am with Scholastic, our class order was enough this month to get coupons for all the kids to get a free book with $10 purchase.  Talk about spreading a LOVE for learning.  Okay, I'm done.

Thinking: I've gotten into the (bad) habit of not doing a lot after school during the week and figuring I'll get it done during the weekend.  Then I have mounds of things to do at home on the weekend.  Argh!  I need to come up with a better system.

Wanting: I am lusting after some Stella & Dot jewelry.  I need to decide what I want to get this paycheck and order it.  I'm wanting to up my accessory game this year ;)

Needing: THIS IS THE YEAR.  The year I'm going to watch all the Oscar nominated movies.  I think it will make it 100 times easier to predict the winners.  So far I've seen 12 Years A Slave, August: Osage County, Captain Phillips and American Hustle.

2 Truths & a Fib: I rarely drink pop is a FIB.  I get a large Sonic Dr. Pepper every morning before school.  I've become friends with the people that work there.  No shame.  I am fantastic at trivia and own an obscene amount of shoes.

Hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me :)
