Blogging Behind the Scenes with TBA

Hello BlogFriends!

And Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm linking up with TBA as we summon our bravery and chronicle our writing habits...

I usually type my posts sprawled out on my bed, with my quilt and my coffee and lots of pillows (and I wonder why I have back problems!).

Most of the time I am in pajamas or sweats--not necessarily in pieces that came together, but that I have declared, by either by proximity or cleanliness, belong together!

Obviously, I can't show you the complete picture--but here are my fuzzy socks to prove that this is, indeed, a daily occurrence. I admit, I've never seen my feet from this view...

If I am not working on my bed, I like to work at the dining room table because the sun comes streaming in through the window and that makes my heart happy. However, if I work there for too long, we have to eat somewhere else, because I can cover a workspace with "stuff" in less than three minutes!

Again, I am most likely to be wearing pajamas or sweats wherever I blog.  This catchy little number came with bright pink leggings. I wonder why the clothing manufacturing folks think they can pair a size XL top with a pair of leggings that would best fit a preschooler. Truly. "Leggings"? As in: Not enough fabric to fit one whole leg, yet alone two?!

No, I don't USUALLY wear a funky hat while I type. But I need a haircut, and a make-over, so this was the safest shot (as opposed to finding some clipart of someone else working at a computer).

Here I am, hard at work, sharing tidbits of wisdom (and sometimes, drivel) about the JOYS of teaching sixth grade--or about the JOYS of having such wonderful BloggyBuddies!

Need proof that this is me? See the cup in the foreground. That's Starbucks coffee (Verona, yum!) in my Starbucks cup with plenty of cream. Need more proof? That's a stack of well-loved literacy texts that often inspire me.  Still don't believe me? Oh, come on! I've got nothing else other than to ask: Who else do you know that would wear this get-up and ADMIT it was her?

So... Remember to check into TBA this week.  There's a {really} big giveaway going on which you can enter HERE.

And there's a blog-hopping opportunity too. You Bunny Hop from site to site each day and pick up a freebie at each stop.  Doesn't that sound like FUN? And everything I've gathered so far is adorable!

If you haven't done so today, start at TBA by clicking HERE. This will direct you to Journey of a Substitute Teacher where Miss T. shares her behind-the-scenes pictures, offers a Freebie and provides the magic egg to lead you to the next Bunny Hop stop.

And, if you want to see a real triumph, click HERE to see how Tamara, co-founder of TBA, juggles children and blogging and recording--and still manages to look great doing it all!
(She didn't even need a hat!)
