June Currently

I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh' Boy Fourth grade for her June currently.

So the sun is out (a rarity at the moment) and I should really be outside, but instead I'm watching a week's worth of Come Dine with Me. Damn you cooking shows!
Loving the teacher blogs at the moment. Okay I'll be honest, I like the teacher blogs all the time! Since I have had the last week off I have been able to catch up with my fave blogs and discover new ones.
I am not a keen gardener and to be honest, my garden (back yard) is quite small, but it's small in that actually it's too big for me to want to take care of it kinda way. So I really should be out there weeding (done maybe 4x a year) because I now have so many dandelions and other weeds that my garden doesn't actually seem to have any flowers of worth.
Wanting - I linked up with Kristen over at  Ladybug's Teacher Files last week for her Optimum Organization linky and saw all the amazing teacher tool boxes people had made. I went straight out and bought a toolbox and scrapbook paper, but have been unable to make it just yet because I haven't been at school. I didn't want to make the labels before I knew what I was going to put in the box.
Needing - So literally my man has just asked me what I was doing and when I said blogging (again) he burst out laughing because he thought I was being super productive for school. So yea, probably should be doing those reports since they are 10 pages long, but they aren't due until the end of next week ... (procrastinate much?)
I am excited that I actually get to go on holiday this summer, okay well it is my honeymoon, but thank god for that, or else I don't know when we'd get a chance to go away. Dan and I are headed to Sri Lanka at the end of August and I hope to be soaking up some sunshine, with a good book and a bit of sunscreen. I've heard Sri Lanka is really cheap, so I'm hoping we don't need too much money, but you always end up spending more than budgeted for on a holiday!

Cheers!

  1. Hello Becky,
    I found you through the linky party on the Oh' Boy Fourth Grade blog! I read that you are new to blogging, and I wanted to let you know that I am new, too! I am now following you!

    I wanted to make a teacher tool box, too. Did you get the organizer from Lowe's. I wasn't sure what it was called, so I haven't been able to look for it. Thanks!

    Sincerely,
    Tasha

    1. Hi Tasha,
      Thanks so much for following. I was in the same predicament as you when looking for a toolbox. I never knew what to search for when I was looking online, so just took the plunge and went into a tool department in a store. I didn't get mine from Lowe's but from a shop called Clas Ohlsen, which is kind of like Ikea. It was actually called an organizer. It cost me about £20 ($20) but has like 20 drawers. From what I've seen on other blogs, Lowe's and possibly even Target do these. Be warned though, your pens will only fit diagonally, that is why I looked for an organizer with at least 4 "bigger" drawers. Hope that helped!

  3. I also found you through the "Currently" linky party, am a new blogger, and have just started following you! AND, I am a foreign teacher as well! (I live in Spain.) I've been eyeing the teacher toolbox posts for some time now, so I'm interested to see how your toolbox works out!

    1. Thanks Tara for linking up with me. Funnily enough I have read all about your linky party through the many blogs I've been reading recently. I can't wait to link up when I've made my toolbox.
