1.  I am   Erin. I am a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin.  I am a fiance to Mr. Fisch.  I am a friend.  I am a teacher.

2.   I have always   been ok being by myself.  I think being an only child for 10 years taught me how to be fine with being alone and enjoy some time to myself  .

3.  I hope to   one day have at least one child of my own.

4. I can    untie just about any knot.  It's a talent of mine.

5. I dream of    one day having a house of our own. Having some land and a garden.

6. The way to my heart is   through chocolate milk, thrift shopping, and hugs.

7.  I am passionate about   teaching.  I do what I love and I couldn't ask for anything more.  I feel I have the best job ever.

1.  Today is a good day because   it is Friday and this week has seemed veeeery long .

2.   The best thing I did all week was   make some pretty delicious shrimp scampi for dinner on Monday  .

3.  The current weather is    chilly      and it makes me feel    annoyed because it was so nice and warm just a couple weeks ago. Such a tease .

4. The best thing about spring is    lilacs blooming (my favorite) and the smell of flowers in the air.

5. A fashion trend that I'm dying to try out for spring is  I'd still like to try to whole white pants thing but it still scares me.

6. A person who made me smile this week was   Fisch. He always makes me smile even when I am having a "blah" week .

7.  The most delicious thing I ate all week was   the shrimp scampi I made on Monday...seriously easy and delicious! Thank you Pintrest!  Also, all the egg salad I have been making from the easter eggs.  Why don't I hard boil eggs more often?.

1.  The love of my life is   Fisch.

2.   Falling in love is   a gradual process. It's something that continues happening throughout a relationship and over time you fall even deeper in love...if you put in the effort that is (Not gonna lie, this is Lauren's answer but I totally agree and couldn't have said it any better).

3.  Marriage is   something I would like to happen in the future, near future, for Fisch and me.

4. The longest relationship I've ever had was  5 years 5 months and 14 days (w/ Fisch).

5. The key to a good relationship is  laughing a lot and remembering it's the little things that really show the love.

6. I feel loved when   someone does something specifically for me because they know I will love it.

7.  My favorite quote about love is   "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” ( Feel this one describes Fisch and me quite well. We are weird.) santiz

1.   New Years is   usually disappointing.  The expectations to have an unbelievably fun time are always way to high.

2.   One of my New Year's resolutions will be   to start the Day Zero Project   .

3.  A New Year's resolution I've made in the past was to   wear more bright colored lipstick...still workin on that one  .

4. The most time consuming resolution I ever made was   to become more outgoing.  For about 3 years in a row in Middle school and high school this was one of my resolutions.  I was a painfully shy kid who always wanted the nerve to talk freely.  Took me awhile but I achieved my goal  .

5.  This year I will be spending New Year's Eve    somewhere downtown Madison. Plans are still in the works.

6.  If I could wish one thing for my new year it would be   to continue to be happy and healthy.

7.  2012 is going to be   a good one... I hope :) .

1.   The best way to spread Christmas cheer is   letting the people close to you know how much you love them.

2.   The thing I love most about Christmas is  spending time with my family, the festive decorations and watching people open the presents I got for them    .

3.  The holiday season is a time for  remembering to be thankful for what you have, spending time with family, and gaining 10 lbs .

4. My favorite thing to eat at the holidays is    shrimp with cocktail sauce and ham on Hawaiian rolls *mouth watering just thinking about it* .

5.  I will be spending Christmas   with my family. Christmas Eve with Fisch's.

6.  Tis better to (give or receive?)   give.  I have fun each year trying to think of a theme for all the gifts i give.  One year they were all handmade. This year we bought local and had a "Madison and Surrounding Areas" theme .

7.  I'm dreaming of a   happy and memorable    Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

1.   When I was a kid I wanted to be      a zoologist, a writer or an art teacher (yup, I knew back then :)  when I grew up.

2.   As an adult, my dream job would be   I would still teach art.  I can't imagine doing anything else that would make me happier. In my dream, though, being an art teacher wouldn't involve BS educational politics and it would be a respected and valued subject matter    .

3.  W hen I was younger I wanted to be just like  my cousin, Maren .

4. The childhood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was   in 5th grade and was a 50's Movie Star.  My mom and I searched thrift shops for the perfect sunglasses and gold scarves. I even wore a blonde wig. When my grandma saw a picture later on she didn't even recognize me !

5.  My favorite childhood toy was   my doll I called Sister. She was freakishly realisic looking and I insisted that she actually was real. I actually got really mad once when my cousin told me she wasn't.  What can I say? I was a lonely only child.

6.  The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when I    was being a brat on Mother's Day. I had a big tantrum and it is the only time I can remember my Dad actually raising his voice to me.

7.  I get daily inspiration from   my students .

1.   Nothing says fall like    the sound of crunching leaves.

2.   My favorite autumnal tradition is   dressing up for Halloween.  Fisch gets really into making his costume every year and his enthusiasm is contageous. Pics to come next week of our best costume yet! 

3.  My favorite fall treat is  Affy Tapples! w/ nuts.

4. Fall makes me think of   chili   because   chili is the perfect thing to eat in the Fall...and I had it for dinner last night and it was amazing.

5.  Autumn free form word association, go!    sweaters, carmel apples, pumpkin patches, awesome art projects, plaid, warm colors.

6.  My go-to outfit in the fall is    anything involving plaid.

7.  My favorite fall holiday is (Halloween or Thanksgiving)    Thanksgiving. I love Halloween but I look forward to Thanksgiving every year because I get to see my family in IL, eat lots of amazing homecooked food, and it means Christmas season is right around the corner .

 Thanks Lauren for Fill in the Blank Fridays!

 

1.   Something popular that I can't stand/just don't "get" is    Coach.  I'm not a label person but I have tried to find a Coach purse I would actually spend that much money on and I haven't had any luck.  The closest I have come is really liking the little silver shiny cluch that I got as a bridesmaids gift...but I always do love shiny things :).

2.   Something unpopular that I secretly love is   meatloaf   .

3.  When I've had a bad day I  take a spoonful of Nutella and watch The Mary Tyler Moore Show  .

4. I prefer   teaching kindergarten students   to   teaching high school students    any day.

5.  Something that makes me nervous is  kids tipping backwards on their chairs! Can't stand it!

6.  Something worth fighting for is    friendship. The good ones. .

7.  When people think of me, I hope they think   "she is a kind and creative woman and a great art teacher." .

1.   My current obsession is    plaid.  I want to wear it everyday in the Fall.

2.  Snail Mail from friends and family    makes me happy.

3.  My greatest strength is  my patience .

4.   Being too particular about where things go and are arranged (i.e. furniture, the remote control, etc.) and being bossy about it   is my greatest weakness.

5.  My life is   on the right path.  I feel like since I moved to Madison to be with Fisch and got a full time job...it's all coming together.

6.  In high school I was    the weird quiet girl.  I had friends but ony they knew I actually talked .

7.  When I'm super tired   I carry on conversations while half asleep and I often don't realize what I am saying .
