Personal Information
I love to read! Some of my favorite books are The Book Thief, The No.
One Ladies Detective Agency series and The Absolutely True confessions
of a Part-Time Indian. A couple of my favorite movies are Spellbound and
Cinema Paradiso and the cd’s I listen to most often are mixes made by my
students (thanks!). My favorite tv show is Ugly Betty, which I Netflix
because I don’t have tv. I have a wonderful, smart, creative son named
Sky who is in the third grade. I just got married this summer to a guy I
had a crush on back in middle school! We have four cats, one very sweet,
old dog named Shirley, a very scary-looking pet spider named Princess,
and a stinky dwarf hamster.
