Things I like!

Hey guys!

I would love for you to check out some of the things I am interested in ... you know teachers don't live at the school right?

My number one interest is FOOTBALL, Sunday afternoon's on my couch are definitely my happy place! My favorite team is the Buffalo Bills! To find out a little bit about my team you can go to http://www.buffalobills.com/.
I also like to play fantasy football, this is where you can make your own football team ... basically you can choose all the best players (if you're lucky) and have them 'play' against other fantasy teams. To find out more about players, teams, and the league in general,  I use www.nfl.com.

Another guilty pleasure of mine, which is a little more on the girlie side, is a site designed by a fashion designer named Lauren Conrad. She blog about fashion, food, and everyday things in her life. I love to check her site for some cool recipe ideas. Check it out www.laurenconrad.com

Something cool for YOU!

Check out this website. It has everything you need to know about what your day is going to be like! Don't quite understand yet? Don't let me rain on your parade .... go on over to www.weathernetwork.com and come on into the sun!

The Weather network can tell you what the weather is going to be like on every day you are coming to school, this will help you stay warm, cool, or dry when you're out on the playground each day.
