Okay I just read this funny joke and I wondered if you (yes, I mean YOU) can figure out the punchline. Here we go: what game to Canadian frogs play?
If you read this post and want to guess (or just desperately want to know the answer) then you need to post a comment. I'll post the answer sometime next week. Good luck!

Things you didn't know about me
I suspect most of the people who read my blog are my friends and family, but there still may be things about you don't know. Here are a few of the most interesting:
1. No matter where I get the glass from, I always blow inside of it to "clear the dust out". At least that's what I tell people. Honestly, I don't know why I do it.
2. I used to suck my thumb. This lasted until I was 8 or 9, possibly even longer.
3. Although I love being a teacher, I'm not such a fan of discussing teaching ad nauseum outside of the workplace. Have you ever noticed that all a group of teachers seem to talk about is teaching? Really, is this necessary?
4. I LOVE going Christmas shopping. Don't get me wrong, spending money I don't have and getting sore feet from walking the mall doesn't do much for me, but I LOVE finding the right gift for the right person. I like to think I'm pretty good at it too.
5. I'm addicted to e-mail. I check my e-mail (I have 5 accounts, but only use 3) obsessively. Seriously, I probably check my e-mail at least 5 times a day, if not more. I love finding new mail in my inbox, and I get sad when I check my e-mail and there's nothing there.
6. I wish my hair were a different colour (either dark brown or red), but I'm too lazy to dye my hair and keep it up.
7. I really like Brad and Angelina together. I don't really like Jennifer Aniston, though I like all her movies and love watching Friends. I just figure that if Brad is happy with Angelina and Angelina is happy with Brad, they should just go for it.
8. My favourite colour is pink. For a long time it used to be purple, but that changed when I started buying a lot of pink clothing. A lot of you might be thinking, "duh, I already knew that Kim!" What you may not have known is that I didn't even realize my favourite colour had become pink until one of my students asked me one day "if you're favourite colour is purple then why do you wear so much pink?"
9. I get really, really agravated when people say "I'm sorry". I think this is because my students are constantly goofing off and/or breaking the rules and then trying to say "I'm sorry" as though that will fix everything. I'd WAY rather have them do the right thing so that they wouldn't have to apologize in the first place. I honestly think "I'm sorry" are the most overused words in English.
10. I used to love watching the soap opera "Another World". I really miss it now that it's gone off the air. I don't really watch any other soaps anymore 'cause I don't find them that interesting, but if "Another World" came back on the air I'd tape it every day!
So, it's your turn now. What weird and wonderful things don't I know about you?

Merry Christmas!
I put up my Christmas tree today! In addition to getting the bulk of my Christmas shopping done, I also brought a bunch of ornaments up from my storage locker and decorated. I'm pretty excited - this is the first year I've put up my own tree! As a kid we always put up a tree as a family, but over the past couple of years things have changed. I can't remember putting up a tree two years ago, and last year my roommate at the time attempted to put up a tree. That didn't work too well as she never got past the puting up the lights on the tree part. Don't even get me started on her!
Currently I'm engaged in the tinsel debate. I love the look of tinsel on the tree, but I'm not sure I want to clean it all up after Christmas! Taking the ornaments and lights off the tree is one thing, but picking off all the tinsel is another. But, it does add that sparkly effect that makes it really seem like Christmas! How to choose, how to choose . . .
I'm feeling a bit bad right now. I skipped going to the Christmas concert tonight because I didn't feel like going all the way to the Church. I suppose that means I'm getting lazy, but I didn't want to go all the way down there without knowing how I was getting home! It's a lot further away now then it was before I moved, and I just didn't want to worry about how I was getting home. I do feel bad about not going out to support the Church and the people I know, but on the other hand . . .
