Clarence Fisher says “I’m not usually a meme kind of guy.” and I thought I feel exactly the same way. I am not a meme kind of girl. He said, “I usually duck and cover if I can to get out of posting something like this.” I usually just ignore and move on to other things. Then he finished his opening by saying that he had enjoyed reading all of the other posts and I have too so since Clarence is a good role model in this as well as many other areas I decided to follow his lead. I’ve been tagged a few times and by bloggers I really respect so here are my 8 random things:

1. My creative spirit must lurk in my car because my best teaching ideas pop in my head on my morning drive to school. I get so excited and cannot wait to implement them!
2. During my college years I worked as a waitress over the summers at Ocean City, N.J. and have lots of warm memories of those summers at the shore. In my opinion southern beaches just don’t compare.
3. I have a to do list that has three categories - to do now, to do soon, and hope to do. I like doing the last one the best.
4. I once led a recall movement to remove current local school board members from office. It was not successful. We had enough signatures but it was ousted on a technicality.
5. That recall got me involved in the next election as a campaign manager for a new school board member. She and I went to UGA to take a workshop on how to get people elected. A local well-known Georgia pollster told us we couldn’t make it happen. He laughed at us and just shook his head. We were then highly motivated and I’m happy to say she did get elected and did a terrific job.
6. I love listening to ‘Books on Tape’ on my drive home from work. I belong to the Audible.com. I’m currently listening to “I’m Not Scared” by Niccolo Ammaniti. Chris pointed to it on a post of hers entitled Brilliant Book. I had to read it. 
   
7. I am much more of a one-on-one person than a one-to-many. I’m more of an introvert. I can get passionately engaged and turned on by conversations but I am not much of a socializer.
8. I miss being a night owl. That is my nature but teaching hours have forced me to change my habits.

Now I did the meme but I can’t follow the rules. This meme ends here.
