Life...in The Burg...So Far

Hey ya'll!  Wow!  It seems like I haven't had much time for blogging these days, I've been so busy with my move.  I moved last Thursday to "The Burg".  Life...well...it's been crazy to say the least!  I'm like, "Do I really live here?  Is this really my classroom?"  Crazy is the only word I can think of to sum up the past few days!  I came up to the school to spray paint tiger paw prints on the halls....by the way, if ya'll know how to get blue spray paint off of your nails, I'd love to know!  I still have blue tinted nails! I've met some of the teachers, and they are as sweet as they can be!  I've even had lunch with a few of them already.  My classroom looks like it threw up school supplies, books, and decorations right now!  Hopefully, I can get most of my classroom together soon and put some pictures of my room up!  So I'll be back in a few days with pictures of my life...in The Burg...and some freebies!

I got a Job!!!

Hey ya'll!!!  Some of ya'll know that I didn't get a teaching job last school year, and that I did some long-term leaves and subbed this year.  My search is over!  I will be teaching third grade for the upcoming school year at a small school in Mississippi. This job *literally* fell in my lap...I didn't send a resume like I've been doing for the past year.  The principal called me out of the blue....and here it is a few weeks later and I'm moving to teach!  Saying yes to new things is scary, but you never know how it will turn out if you don't take that leap of faith.  Join me as I move to a new state, and begin teaching at a different school....I created a blog for my thirdsters that you can check out *here*  I'm still going to blog mainly here though!  :)
I any of you live in Mississippi or know of a blogger that does let me know!  Any of ya'll use the Envision math series???

Currently...

It's that time again...to link with Farley for her Currently Linky!  I decided I needed to take my mind off of everything, so why not link up?!? 

The last part:  I wish I could go to Fiji!!!  How fun is that word to say?  That's on my bucket list one day!  I went to Orange Beach two weekends in a row last month!  That was super fun for this Beach Girl!  And finally, I WANT A TEACHING JOB next school year!!!  That's what I want more than anything else in the world.  Gotta go  finish my marathon and catch up before the season premiere! 

My Name is Ashlee, and I have an Obsession...

I'm linking up with Living a Wonderful Life for a Linky Party!  I have several obsessions right now...so here they are!

Colored skinny jeans!  Ohmiword!  I love skinny jeans, and bright colors just make me happy!  I really want a pair this color...

Crayola Gel Markers!  Ok, so if you haven't used these go right now and pick some up!  They look super awesome on bright colored paper.  The color looks dull at first on the paper, but then it pops on bright backgrounds!  It looks really cool on black and purple butcher paper!  I mean...I love them as much as my Mr. Sketch markers!

Cheerwine.  If you like Cherry Coke, then you'll love it!  It's the best Cherry Coke ever!  It's really hard to find in the South, but my sister Amanda always brings me some back from Auburn.  Best drink ever!

The new smoldering voluminess eyeliner by Loreal.  I love makeup and the smoldered eye look...but me and a steady hand is not pretty...so liquid eyeliner is just not for me.  This eyeliner gives the same look as liquid eyeliner, and is easier to put on.

R2Blast Neon Gel Pens.  You can only find these at the Dollar General, A.K.A "The Little Yellow Boutique" as my bestie and I like to call it!  I use these pens all the time to grade papers.  I'm a pen snob, and these pens write smoothly and make your handwriting look neat. 

Loreal Nail Polish in "Tangerine Crush" and "Now You Sea Me".  It stays on longer than other nail polishes.

And finally, I'm obsessed with finding a new teaching job this summer....and hopefully it'll be sooner than later!
So go and link up with your obsession, and join the party!

Dananana! They Say It's My Birthday Weekend...and a Freebie!

Hey ya'll!  Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  My birthday was the other day, so to celebrate I have a freebie for ya'll!  I have created some Binder Cover Pages that I hope some of you may be able to use next school year.  They are chevron and polkadot patterns.  Swoon!  This is my first time sharing something I've created on the computer.  I hope it opens right!  Please let me know what you think if you download the binder cover pages.    :)  Click {HERE} for the updated ones!

 

I hope ya'll have a wonderful Memorial Day, and remember the reason for the holiday--to honor our fallen soldiers.
