It's Time to Start

As a brand new blogger, I'm a little nervous and not sure what to write about but several of my friends have told me to "JUST START" so I am!  It's kind of crazy that I'm nervous about blogging because I've never been nervous about presenting to any size group of people whether it was when I was a teacher presenting at the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) annual convention or as a Scentsy Family independent consultant presenting to groups of all sizes. I guess I can do this, too! So, here goes.....
As a retired teacher (I taught 32 years), I still tend to "act like a teacher".  Typos (except punctuation which is a weakness of mine) jump out at me like a ghost in a haunted house!  There are several that are done so frequently, I think people actually think they are correct.  Here's some examples:  "your" instead of "you're". (Just remember: You're responsible for your own spelling.)  How about not including an apostrophe where a letter has been left out.  Don't - not dont.  Wasn't not wasnt.  I could go on and on but we all know that would be very boring (but that doesn't mean I will stopped being bugged by typos!) LOL  When I'm in a noisy situation, I have to catch myself before I say "Girls and Boys, let's remember to show manners and use your inside voices" or "I can wait until everyone has their eyes on me before I begin".  When I see people who haven't cleaned up after themselves, I want to sing "Clean up, clean up - everyone do their share" or say "Let's remember to always leave a place as good or better than we found it"  and another one I still can't figure out is why adults don't stop what they are doing when I begin counting backwards from 5!!!  But what really doesn't fly anymore is when I tell one of my Scentsy downline - it doesn't matter how well you do as long as you try your hardest! (For some reason they think I should give more help that that!! :-))

Well, folks - that's all for tonight!  Thank you for reading my first ever blog and I hope I can continue to do these because it truly was kind of fun!

May your days be filled with sun shine!!!
