1. It's All About Me: A Blog Cleaning

1068334042_nniesallme Wow, I sound like my 13 year-old.

Before I get into the activity, I want to say a big thanks to all the wonderful people who have left thoughtful and supportive comments on my blog.  You're awesome, and I'm truly grateful for this community of which I have become a part.

So, the third activity for the Teachers Challenge involves doing a little blog cleaning.  The activity says "spring cleaning" but considering the weather here in Ohio (35 degrees and raining; no sun for days...), I'm just going to call it a blog cleaning. 

This is gonna be a short post. I hate the "About Me" page. I realize it's a necessary evil, but I really do hate it.  It's just so...narcissistic! Even so, I am thankful for this activity because my "About Me" page was in desperate need of an overhaul.  I refuse to put up a picture of myself.  I use one as my avatar on Tweetdeck, and I can't believe I have my numerous followers (15 at last count!) look at a picture of me every time I post something.  I have to change that. I have been reading other people's posts, and they are much more interesting than what I'm writing here.  Why are you even reading this?  Read theirs!

And as far as adding another page, I will do that real soon.  I'm going to add a page about my conference presentations, etc.  But I'm not doing it right now.  I'm both too busy and too lazy (You can be both at the same time, you know.).  So the small updates I've made with have to suffice.  My post will be all the way down at the bottom of the comments section for the activity, so I doubt anyone's going to read it anyway.  If you are reading this right now, welcome!  And good night!
