Foxy Day

I got two Jeff Foxworthy emails today. Since I have nothing else to blog about (other than my extreme giddiness that tomorrow is the last school day before the Thanksgiving holiday!!), I decided to share some of my favorites. :)

You know you're a teacher if...
- You get a secret thrill out of laminating something. (Except all the dang cutting, laminating is the best!)
- You walk into a store and hear the words "It's Mrs. _____" and know you have been spotted. (It is a little like being a rock star...except they don't usually throw their underwear at me unless they're soiled.)
- You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public. (Sometimes I can resist, sometimes not.)
- You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer. (I had to scale back after it started to eat holes in my skin.)
and my personal fave...
- You've trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day: lunch and prep period. (So true!!)


You know you're a Minnesotan if...
- There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at Mill's Fleet Farm. (Oh, Fleet, how I miss your school supplies and candy.)
- You have ever refused to buy something because it's 'too spendy.' (What's wrong with that? Maybe you should try Fleet Farm.)
- Your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March. (That first Spring Blizzard was always worth the wait!)
- Your town has an equal number of bars and churches (...and both are places of worship).
- You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events. (Does a Ducks Unlimited shirt at my wedding count?)
- You measure distance in hours. (I do! I grew up about 2 1/2 hours north of Mpls.)
and my personal fave...
- Vacation means going 'up north' for the weekend. (Of course! If it didn't, my grandparents wouldn't have been in the resort business for 60 years!)
