Late to the Party

I think I may be the last person to link up with Farley but since I missed December's Currently I had to make sure I didn't miss January!

Listening:  Did you watch the new show that premiered yesterday called Deception?  I watched it as I blog stalked/started this post last night!  I like it!  It reminds me of a cross between Missing and Revenge.
Loving:  I love my IPad Mini that my fiance bought me for Christmas!  I've already downloaded iFontmaker and have played around with it a bit.  Fun!!!!  I'm also loving the amazing banner that I won from Christi Fultz's craft blog  Little Apple Cuties who also blogs at Ms. Fultz's Corner .  She created this for me using my classroom colors (mostly pink and green and dots on chocolate). I chose my soon (October of this year hopefully) to be married name for the banner.   Isn't it beautiful? I can't wait to get married so I can hang it up in my classroom!  She is one truly talented lady!  If you don't already follow BOTH of  her blogs you really should!  Thanks again Christi!

Thinking:  How glad I am that we finally (with voter approval) have a 3 year teaching contract in my district.  I was a part of the negotiation team and it took us two years to reach this agreement (we went "without" a contract, i.e., pay increase this year).
Wanting:  I really think I want a digital SLR camera.  I have a regular SLR but since no one uses film anymore it's pretty useless.  :o) I'm thinking I might use the extra money I earned negotiating our teaching contract to buy myself one.  I'm having a hard time not using that money to pay a bill though.  If I do splurge I'm leaning towards a Canon T3i.  Anyone have any advice?
Needing:  I truly don't need anything.  I'm very grateful for what I have; a loving family, a job that I love, and amazing friends.  I do NEED to be a more consistent blogger!  I find myself reading SO many blogs that I run out of time to post on my own blog!  Does this happen to anyone else?
OLW:  Prioritize.  It seems like a silly word but I couldn't think of a better word for what I want to work on (I wanted to choose "Let it Go" but unfortunately that's three words).  I want to blog more which requires that I read blogs less (not something I want to do).  I want to share more of my creations with the 100+ followers I have (how did that happen by the way? ).  I want to spend more time with family and friends and less on school work.  I want to find time for hobbies (like photography and crafting) and less on cleaning (I'm a ridiculous clean freak and feel like I can't accomplish anything if everything is not clean around me).  I want to be healthier.  Yes that means eating better and exercising regularly like I used to do.  So what to tackle first?
I hope you all had a wonderful break and a great start back to school!  And if you haven't already linked up with Farley for this month's Currently....go now so I'm not last!
