I've been TAGGED!

Well I have been tagged so I will try my best to share something that not many people know about me. I hope it is entertaining for you all!

The rules:
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I stopped a pick-pocketer on the bus yesterday. WOW what an experience! I was riding down the 16th street mall bus with TJ's dad and sister when I saw some things. First I noticed this guy holding a coat like he was covering someone, so I first thought he had a girl with him or something. Then I looked down to see his hand on another ladies purse. I could hardly believe what I saw. I looked at the guy and he made eye contact with me. I stared at him for about 30 seconds to see what he would do. I was in scared mode and didn't vocally say anything, but I didn't need too. He got scared and told the lady that her wallet was falling out of her purse and then hurried off the bus at the next stop. The lady thanked me and started to tear up as she checked her purse. I was glad I looked up and saw it in time! Always be aware of what is going on around you and where your wallet is.

2. I really enjoy coloring. TJ bought me my very first 96 pack of crayons for my birthday and a coloring book. He even colors with me! I guess that comes from working with kids all day at work and coloring with them.

3. I am a perfectionist when it comes to school things. I like to make things nice and neat so that I can use them again. I figure if I am making something for school, I will take a little extra time and make it nice. This means that sometimes I dont like to let my teacher aids help me because they are about saving time. Just one of my silly querks.

4. I am the queen of battle ship. I beat TJ every time we play. It is good that I have at least one game I can win at because I'm not the best loser. Sometimes I get really mad when TJ beats me at a game. I am just discovering how competitive I really am.

5. I use washable bathtub crayons to leave messages on the shower walls for TJ. Once again this goes back to my love for crayons. It is fun to decorate the shower walls and tell my love just how much I love him.

6. I love to buy children's books, especially from the Scholastic Book Orders. The book orders are one of my favorite things about being a teacher - I get to order books each month! I love the 95 cent book.

Well I hope you learned something new and exciting about me.

Denver Aquarium

TJ took me to the Denver Aquarium for my Birthday. We had a ton of fun. We were really surprised to see Tigers at the Aquarium. They have four that they train 6 times a day to do tricks in the water, where there are fish swimming all around! We had a great time.
