b. I've just recently found out how funny the Big Bang Theory is thanks to TBS. (Hubby got me the 1st four seasons for my bday)
c. My birthday usually falls on MLK day so I usually get a 3 day weekend for my bday.
d. I wasn't that crafty until Pinterest came along.
e. My former principal got upset with me for not auditioning for American Idol when the auditions came to Memphis.
f. The biggest arguments/fights between my husband and I are usually when we play Tetris against each other.

i. I also love Build-A-Bear. I have almost 30.
j. My husbands last name WAS Hubbard, but he changed it to Starnes to take his step-dad's name - good thing or I would have been "Old Mother Hubbard" =)
k. I've mentioned this before, but am running out of "fun" things - I have 9 tattoos and at one time thought to name my blog The Tattooed Teacher.
