bliss list ~ april

I know I say this every time but holy moly this month went by quickly!  April was so busy --- the crazy days at work flew by and a night it was play, eat, and to bed...for all of us!  In fact, things have been so busy I've really neglected the old blog.  Luckily, I had a few posts already created and set up for publishing but I miss the time to think about things I'd like to share and reading posts from all the other great bloggers out there.  Nonetheless, another month has passed and I found time to squeeze in a list of things I enjoyed this April.

The Royal Wedding ~ Yep, I watched it.  I'm not ashamed.  It is history, after all.  And after spending a month in England (London and Brentwood, Essex to be exact) in 2003 and another week there in 2007, I enjoy watching some of the pomp and circumstance of these events.  I wouldn't say I've been obsessed (Did you see the Royal Wedding episode on The Middle?  I swear, I'm not that bad!) but I did set the DVR so I could watch the event in its fully glory.  :)

The Amazing Race ~ Still talking TV this is a show I have loved for years and continues to be a Sunday night staple for Hubby and me.  I love this show.  It's definitely a reality show but in my opinion is maybe a little more real than some of the other shows out there.  It's fun to watch the teams compete, see the contestants crazy personalities, and cheer for your favorites.

Flats ~ I've tried heels but they just don't like me feet.  My feet love flats.  Lucky for me, there are many cute shoes out there in shoeland.  I love this time of the year too - I'm not quite ready to wear flip flops or sandals but can wear my flats without socks.  They're easy to dress up or wear casually.

Books ~ I have the pleasure of returning to the classroom next year (3rd grade!) and while I already have some books for my classroom library they are most likely a little dated.  I need some new titles that are current and that kids are into reading.  Enter, Scholastic!  I loved their book order pamphlets as a kid and still love them as a teacher!  I made a nice big book order this week for myself and am excited about the possibilities for my classroom library next year.  I can't wait to see that Scholastic box up in the front office!

Nora ~ This girl just makes me happy!
