Sixteen Things Meme
Oh, lord, I haven't posted in half a year and I choose to come back with a meme. Ah, well.

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged. (Except that I'm not tagging 16 people, because I don't know 16 people. You want in, go right ahead.)
1. I just ate an alarming amount of Cheetos. But Cheetos are not fast food, so I still consider New Year's resolution #2 unbroken.
2. I am running a marathon in 19 days and I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to *die* at the finish line.
3. I have to teach the rock cycle in two weeks. I loathe the rock cycle. If there is a field of science more boring than geology, please do not tell me of its existence.
4. Places I'm pretty sure I'm traveling to this year: Italy, France, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Boston.
5. If I don't go to Vegas, it will be entirely earlgreytea68 's fault.
6. At first, I was all, "Matt Smith who?", but now I am like a fierce mama bear with the kid. Give him a chance, dagnabit!
7. My assistant principal asked me to run our school's chapter of NJHS, and I'm really looking forward to it!
8. The last two weeks reminded me that there are few things in life that I love or am irritated by more than my extended family.
9. My favorite co-worker is working on getting ridiculous access to the Inauguration, and if she hits the jackpot, she's taking me with her. I mean, it's not going to happen, but it's so sweet that she's trying on my behalf.
10. I am ridiculously excited about Florida being added to Powerball. I probably still won't play, but it's nice knowing that it's there.
11. I am very happy I didn't have a boyfriend this year, so I didn't have to pretend to care about the Dolphins.
12. Today I found out that another teacher at my school graduated from the same tiny program that I did, two years before me. Actual exchange that occurred:
Me: OMG, Did you have Ms. Bez? I hated her. I had her the year she was pregnant with twins, and she was pure evil.
Her: Yeah, I, uh, actually helped paint all the little animals in her nursery.
Me: ...
13. As soon as I finish this meme, I plan to cook a real dinner to make up for #1.
14. This weekend I discovered "Merlin", and I do not understand how I considered my life complete before.
15. My procrastination abilities are reaching alarming levels.
16. I'm terrified of rollerskating and hate the taste of beer, but I had a blast going to a roller rink and knocking back some beers last week. Good company will do that for you.
