A Teeny Tiny Teacher

Uno, dos, tres

Happy New Year’s Eve!  Although I also feel as if New Year’s Eve is no big deal.  Seeing as how I am old and all.  We’re having some friends over for dinner and there are absolutely NO EXPECTATIONS for a crazy night.  I think New Year’s is usually a let down and I find myself wearing uncomfortable clothes and wishing that I was at home in my pajamas, contacts out, glasses on, and possibly a chick flick on in the background.  Okay, I find myself feeling that way when I am teaching at school, too.  

Well, over the course of yesterday’s copyright laws and violations (of which I must be guilty of several), I apparently reached 1000 followers.  

I can’t believe it.  Really.  Let’s see here.  

If I add this with that and then subtract my family members . . . um . . . carry the one . . . no, that’s not right . . . erase that . . . and then if I divide that by . . . or do I multiply . . . and then add the one over to the . . . 

I’ve been teaching first grade for fifteen years.  I only remember how to do first grade math and we never ever get to the thousands.  See my dilemma?

But I just can’t believe it.  

I am in shock.  I started this blog over the summer because of all the blogs I read and loved and stalked and obsessed over.  I had no idea where it would take me.  I am so thankful for each and every one of you.

I wish I could offer an Amazon gift card to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU but I’m not sure a five cent gift card is available.  Let me check.

——————————————————————————————-

Nope.  ๐Ÿ™  I wonder why not?

What I thought I would do is offer THREE (3) Uno, dos, tres, digital gift cards to Amazon in the amount of $10 each.  I know it’s not heart stopping or gasp worthy, but let’s just pretend.

“Wow!” they all gasped.

“Insane!” they all agreed.

So!

Here’s how to enter.  I like things to be easy.  

1. Leave a comment that you’re following me.  And again, if you already are, you can tell me to back off or get a life or get out of my pajamas, already! (and leave your email in case you win!)

2.  Blog about this giveaway.  This is my least favorite.  But there you 
have it.

3.  Tell me the best New Year’s Eve you’ve ever had so I can try to copy it for next year.

That’s it.  I’ll use the random number generator thingy to choose THREE (3) uno, dos, tres winners.  Let’s close this up by Sunday night, January 1, midnight Pacific time.  I’ll announce the winners on Monday morning.   

Here’s what happened on our Malibu trip.  It was 55 degrees when we got there and gray and foggy!  We couldn’t even see the beach!  We drove up and down and I used the restroom in a Jack in the Box.  I know – I can make all things exciting.  Then we drove up Topanga Canyon – which is just a road.  There’s nothing to see.  Don’t do it  After about twenty minutes, we turned around and came back down.  So we went to Santa Monica and walked around the pier (interesting people but no celebrities).  Then we drove to Venice and ate at Gloria’s Cafe which was featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives.  DELICIOUS! We think we saw Gloria but we couldn’t be sure.  And we walked around Venice and had people trying to accost us and make us listen to their music.  Huh?

It was a nice way to spend time with the hubby but we were both disappointed by the weather.  I don’t know why.  It is December, after all.

    My best new year's is always the unofficial (yet very official because tons of people come) New Year's Party at my sister's house. She has the best parties. We eat, drink, play games, burn old christmas trees, set off fireworks, and talk, talk, talk. I LOVE IT!
    Happy New Year, Kristin!

    My New Year's Eves are always the same….spend it with family at home and watch the ball drop on TV. Honestly, the one time I went out, I just kept thinking how much I wanted to be home with family. So there you have it, I love just being home on New Year's Eve ๐Ÿ™‚

    Also, I usually end up being disappointed with our New Year's Eve plans, so I'm no help there. We're staying in this year and watching Auburn hopefully win their bowl game ๐Ÿ™‚

    Do you want my honest answer? I have never had an awesome, friend-filled, drink-filled, romantic New Years. When I was younger I always built them up to this big event and was ALWAYS let down. Always.

    Then I grew up, and ever since – I've always spent it at home. In my comfies, either with just hubs and I, our kids, or another couple – with kids. Everybody must dress comfortably (I've even had people over in their pj's) and eat tons and tons of junk food.

    Tonight -it's just hubs and the kids. This is the first year we are letting our kids stay up until the actual ball drops (we've always done a psuedo ball drop with them on Youtube…)

    Happy, Happy!

    I'm a follower and love reading your posts. My husband and I like to take drives "just to see where the road goes." Growing up, Topanga Canyon and Mullhuland Drive sounded so exciting. I agree- they're really just roads.

    We're usually pretty low key New Year's Eve and will be tonight too. But about 10 years ago we went to Texas to see our favorite band Cross Canadian Ragweed in New Braunfels, Texas. The show was great! We took time to see San Antonio and Austin some and just loved it. Another New Years Eve was spent at Disneyland and was fabulous. We tried that again a few years ago and the crowd was hideous. We'll keep the memories instead of trying that again. Have a nice New Year's Eve. I hope I win your giveaway.

    I feel like I should at least get 2 of those gift cards since I'm pretty much responsible for 2/3 of your followers. Just saying ๐Ÿ˜‰ it's not like people would actually follow your blog if I didn't threaten them. Anyway, I was doing laundry this morning and I realized it would be so much more fun with a beautiful laundry room…or any laundry room for that matter. In all seriousness though, congrats on reaching your goal of 1000! And with only hours to spare! Now don't go and beat me by getting more followers than me. I will no longer be your friend!!!!

  33. Rachael Sterling says

    My best NY's?????….I"m still waiting for it! I think my husband and I are in bed and asleep before the ball even falls – that's been pretty much our tradition for 10 years we've been together! hee hee Maybe next year!? rachaelrsterling@yahoo.com

    When I was younger, we lived on the main street of our town. We would always have the church people come over and play games. At midnight we would walk up and down the block banging pots and pans. Sometimes we'd have a police escort. It was a blast. LOL

  40. Sandra says

    My best New Year's Eve is just being with my family (mom, sisters, aunt, uncle, cousins, husband, and daughter) and playing loteria (kinda like bingo) and eating yummy food!

    My best New Year's celebration was when my friends "kidnapped" me and brought me to New York City. What made it even more special is that New Year's Eve is my birthday!

    I follow your blog and love getting new posts by you! As for my New Year's plans they are usually pretty blah. They mostly consist of having lots of appetizers and watching the ball drop at home.

    My best New Year's was falling asleep on the couch (hubs, too!) and then waking up because I heard fire crackers and going to my bed. I'm old and boring as well! Try to copy at your own risk!!

    I don't think I've ever had a really exciting NYE. I did have a girls night a couple of years ago with the girls youth group I was leading. It was a lot of fun. We were in our pajamas and eating and watching chick flicks and doing crafts. Doesn't get much better than that.

    I don't want to take up a second entry with this because I am relaxing in my pajamas and will stay up and eat great food and all of that, but that's it! I'm totally with you on the contacts out, glasses on.

  76. Courtney Bartlett says

    My best new years would probably be the one that I spent at the beach. One year, we went to Disney World on New Year's Eve which was supposed to be amazing. There ended up being so many people there that you couldn't even move, so we left and went back to the beach. Much better than being packed like sardines.

    Best New Years: I had a murder mystery party at my house and made everyone come as a character. It lasted the entire night. I sent them their biographies about 2 weeks early. Everyone went ALL OUT. It was SO amazing. Maybe I will blog about it. It was 3 years ago. Since then nothing nearly as cool. CONGRATS on 1000~~~~

    Best NYE: Well last year my whole family and I were on a cruise so that was pretty fun BUT just yesterday I heard 'We Are the Champions' on the radio and it reminded me of the NYE as a kid when all the kids were in the basement watching Mighty Ducks without a care in the world. I kind of miss that. ; )

    Of COURSE I follow your blog… I actually typed a comment while in an airplane… After I enjoyed my morning orange juice (wink).

    I grew up in Orange County just a few minutes from Disneyland. For YEARS my dad told me the fireworks on New Year's Eve were for us. And I believed him.

    I was in the middle of Main Street at Disneyland watching the fireworks with some of my best friends for my favorite New Year's Eve! It was absolutely Creasy and crowded and we couldn't really move after about 10:30, but the energy was happy, contagious, and fun. Disneyland is a magical place and what better way to ring in the new year than with my handsome husband, my best friends, and a little bit of magic! Happy New Year to you! I hope this year brings you magic and fun!

  108. Kim says

    My favorite New Year's memory is one we spent with a few other couples. After dinner out we came back to our house and cranked up the Play Station 2!! That's right! Old school. Anyway, we "performed" Sing Star songs. This is VERY out of my comfort zone with anyone other than my husband and kids. But I broke loose and did my family's favorite, some Beyonce song that I'd only heard the few times I did it. Needless to say, this night will live on our friends' memories as an unforgettable night! They still bring it up.

    NYE is usually spent with a few friends eating way to many appetizers, watching the ball drop and going to bed. This year will be just family, pj's and a movie at home…my fav. I did see the fireworks in the neighborhood and heard the cannon (shot off by the local M.D. who live around the corner) at the stroke of midnight!

    Sorry the sun didn't shine in Malibu ๐Ÿ™ I am not so big on New Year's, just happy if I spend it with my best friend and our hubbies and kids all together.

    Best New Year's would have to be this one. My in laws took the kids for the weekend so my husband and I could have a whole day to ourselves. We went shopping and finished the day with dinner and a movie. Couldn't ask for a better way to end the year! ๐Ÿ™‚

    We usually just spend New Years at home in our jammies sitting around on the couch and snacking. Sometimes I can make it until midnight, but usually, I fall asleep by 11:30 or so. My hubby wakes me up at midnight to give me a new year's kiss. Not too glamorous, I know, but…it is what it is!

    The best NYE I've ever spent was this year. My group of friends got together and had a nice dinner at a friend's house and then walked to a block party in the neighborhood. We made an appetizer of flat bread, brought a bottle of wine, and spent $6 at the block party. It was a huge success because it was super fun, spent with people I love, and inexpensive. ๐Ÿ™‚

    The best New Year's Eve I've ever had was four years ago, when my husband proposed!! My sister and all our friends were there and he did it right at midnight!! The ball was about to drop, and we were about to take a picture, when he stopped us all (NO ONE knew) and began a wonderful speech. I can't remember anything he said, because I couldn't believe what was happening! I was totally blindsided! Then, of course, I said yes! We have a great picture of him on his knee with the ball dropping on tv in the background! Best New Year's Eve ever!!! ๐Ÿ™‚ vigario.h@gmail.com

    One memorable new years lasted the whole week! My friends and I had just turned 21 and we went to New York! We got to stand outside with the crowds and watch the ball drop live! It was freeeezing!!!!! And I soon realized people cheer at midnight because they can finally leave and not because it's a new year. Ha! Among the memorable things we did that I loved! Going to Tiffany's, FAO Schwartz, the Met, Central Park and ground 0. You get the picture… it was an amazing new year.

    I follow your Teeny Tiny blog! I was also inspired by all the wonderful teaching blogs to start my own, silly blog. I am a first-year teacher and have LOTS to chat about. Check it out at http://www.its-grow-time.blogspot.com!

    I haven't followed your blog before but will now. I saw a tweet about your giveaways. Always a sucker for a possible prize.

    My most memorable New Year's Day/Eve was a few years ago when my brother and his wife met my husband and me in Chicago. We wanted to see the Komodo Dragon at Shedd's but that exhibit was closing by the time we got there. Then, we trudged to the Field Museum to see the Egypt exhibition – not a chance. Later on we decided to go to what looked like a really cool bowling alley/arcade type thing but…you guessed it…we couldn't because my brother was wearing "swishy" pants. By the way, they were very nice swishy pants but that didn't matter. So by the time the night was over, we didn't see anything but the train. We still laugh uproariously about that day and night.

    I am SOOOOOO boring, but my fav new years is when I get to stay home with my fav foods in my comfy clothes and watch the ball drop on TV. Then I look out the window to see others fireworks. ๐Ÿ™‚ Can't beat that.
