Five for Friday: Updates!



This may be the shortest, sweetest Five for Friday post because typing on blogger seems to be impossible this morning! 
Is anyone else having trouble? 

Don't mind me if mY ty ing srts lkng like ths!

1.It's "Go!" Time - as in, go back to work! I return on Tuesday.
Everyday this week has been filled with errands, including:



Getting my car detailed! 
My car is only a year old & now that I had it all detailed, it's "brand new" again!  There was no reason to take this picture except sheer boredom - they spent f-o-r-e-v-e-r on it!

2. Appointments!
Dentist, eyeglasses, doctor, oil change...what am I missing? 
I also got my hair done:


It's difficult to tell, but I actually got my hair darkened. Seriously. My hair is very, very intent on being beach-blonde, which is not exactly the professional look I'm going for. I had lowlights put in!

3.Cool Makeover
I'm not the only one busy updating and giving my products "makeovers." Check out this new bus stop on my street:


4. HOUSTON
I report back to work on Tuesday Professional Development, which is wonderful, but intense at my school!), and then I leave from work Friday to head to Houston for an entire week! Yikes! It's been tough to plan outfits and all my healthy eats. I'm headed to White House Black Market in a few to pick up a couple dresses - they are truly the easiest to pack & take up only minimal space. Which is terrific & much appreciated because I need room for all this:


Snacks (& caffeine!)

5. I just did 2 huge updates at my store...more pages, cuter (in my opinion) fonts and graphics, & more! Same great price & if you've already purchased either one (thank you!), you can go to your downloads to get the update! 

Positively Learning

I've used this Font Sort  for so much more than uppercase/lowercase matching! I hate to admit it, but the number one way I use this is for "brain breaks" The sorting has a serious calming effect & my students can easily be successful. I updated several fonts (which was so much fun) and added more sorting mats. 
It's still only $3.50!

My other big upgrade is my Letter of the Day Packet! Please download the preview here to receive 2 free pages! I also added an Animal Alphabet book that can be used for sight word practice and as a student/class book!






I'd love to share more, but Blogger won't let me :(
This whole post took me about a hour to type!


I'm off to go shopping for more last-minute B2S items and my next upgrade: Number of the Day!

Have a fantastic Friday!
