Great list. I am starting my masters program in education this summer and am focusing on special education as well.

Anne said...

I agree with Rob. I feel like you're a long lost sister -- so much in common. Potato chips and Coke are my downfall too. And I've always juggled numerous jobs...and I used to teach. Etc. Etc. Unfortunately, I don't live in a multiseason city, but I can wish....

24. I like Spinning about as much if not more than running (right now)

Ya, but as far as I know, there are no spinning races.

33. especially jazz, blues, oldies for relaxation

Go John Coltrane!

47. Go Tarheels!

Go Blue Devils!

48. watching golf on tv can make me fall asleep

Me too. Golf sucks.

68. I would rather wear shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops or tennies than dressy clothes

Indeed! Who was the sadist who invented neck ties and high heels?

80. But I still really do love ND...

Do people there really talk like the characters from the movie Fargo?

90. Even though I probably only take one sip and fall asleep

Have you ever accidentally spilled that glass of water in the middle of the night?

92. I would rather have any kind of doctor appointment than go the dentist

Err, what about the butt doctor?

Joe ~ Just to answer a few of your questions....

Yes, some people in North Dakota do talk like the people in Fargo. But I think it is the older Norwegians on the eastern part of the state. There are Minnesotans who talk the same way.

You're right. There are no Spinning races.

I like most of the NCAA teams...except for DUKE...yuck..

Never spilled the glass of water in the middle of the night. My night stand (er...filing cabinet) is a good foot away...

And I will have to admit...you did find a doctor that I wouldn't want to go to instead of the dentist...ouch..

I was so mad when Chris Daughtry got voted off.

I have to have water by my bedside too, I never drink mine either.

Wow, that is a list. I can't believe the fam didn't get a mention, we are such a HUGE part of your life!
I too hope to be able to take a trip once a year (once I land a job.) I still need to see much a mainland Europe, but also would love to see parts of Asia and so many other parts of the world.
Wouldn't that be fun (or funny) to take a Kautzman's European Vacation, we could top the Griswalds! 'Look kids, there's Big Ben'...(but would need to keep England to a min)
