WARNING: Obsessive Linky!

I'm so excited to be participating in this fun linky party!  I haven't linked up in a while and since things are winding down at school it's time to think about what to do over the summer months...I have so many obsessions, but for now we'll just call them loves! The rules for this linky are easy, and I'm into easy this last full week of school! All you have to do is list as many or as few obsessions as you have.  Give it a try.  I'd love to find out what things put joy into your life!


I LOVE birds.  I even have another blog devoted to them! (I'd Rather Be Birding)  I spend hours hiking in the woods or sitting in my backyard looking for these awesome creatures.  My mom says that when I was six months old my favorite thing to do was to sit in a box and look at an old bird guide.  That is still my favorite thing to do!
I found this baby tit mouse hopping around outside last week.
How can you not love him?
I LOVE Sharpie markers.  My favorite collection is the 80s Glam pack.  I have gone through two packages this year.  I only let my owlets use them for special occasions.  I'm so protective of them.  They just make anchor charts and sentence strips so much fun to make and read.
Those words, "limited edition" make me very nervous!
LOVE number three....COFFEE!  I love coffee.  I don't want anything in it...Give it to me dark.  My favorite place to get it is a local shop whose motto is: You can't sleep here, but you can wake up here.  They do have some organic breakfast cookies that are to die for with dried cherries and dark chocolate.  So I guess I do like a little sugar with my coffee!
Part of my attraction to coffee is time spent with good friends!
I splurged on this day and got a hazelnut latte!

I recently got into a bidding war at a silent auction over a basket of chocolate items.  It came down to being between the kindergarten teacher and myself.  My future first graders had donated the items for their current kindergarten teacher to collect.  The auction was a benefit for our school.  I had made up my mind that I would stop at forty dollars.  The kindergarten teacher went to forty-four!  My darling daughter, looking out for her my  best interests, put my name down and added three dollars to make the grand total $47.00!!  I won the basket.  I wasn't too upset about going seven dollars over budget.  And I got some of my favorite chocolates....dark!!  Yes, I  LOVE chocolate!

I'm obsessed with buying digital clipart.  My favorite is The Digital Bake Shop.  I also love getting images from KPM Doodles.  If you get the sets from KPM Doodles blog they are quite reasonable!!

Tomorrow I'll think of something else I should have told you about.  For now I'm off to pursue one last obsession...Eight hours of sleep!!

Thanks to Bonnie at Living a Wonderful Life for such a fun linky!  She has a great blog and I'm excited to be following her!

Six days....

  7. Thanks for linking up! I love your post and I'm your newest follower! A few weeks ago we had a baby bird in the bushes outside of our classroom window. The kids and I were obsessed with it! They wanted to name it and we called her Sarah. You would have loved it! I've seen the 80's glam sharpies, but never picked them up. I may have to!

  10. I thought of something I wanted to share with you- I drink Crystal Light all the time. After throwing away probably 100 containers the packets come in, I realized they are the perfect size to hold sharpies. I had a pack of 20 fine point sharpies I had just opened and needed something to contain them in. It worked great and held almost all of them.
