Here are your questions:
1. Who inspired you to blog?
I'm not really sure.  I read sooo many blogs.  I've had a personal blog for several years now.

2. Do any of your colleagues follow your blog?
I know several read my blog.  I'm not sure if anyone, except for Carly, follows it officially.

3. How did you choose your blog name?
My personal blog is Keeping Up with the Joneses.  So it seemed fitting...and with my track level of changing grades I didn't want any title that contained second grade. 

4. What new skill do you want to learn?

5. What is your favorite resource for graphics?
Scrapping Doodles, DJ Inkers

6. What is your best blogging tip?
Blog more regularly than me. 

7. If you weren't a teacher, which profession would you choose?
When I'm stressed at school I always tell my kids that I should have been a doctor.  Truthfully, I'm not doctor material.  Maybe I'd be a secretary or receptionist. 

8. What is the best advice that you have ever been given?
Not sure....

9. What is your favorite comfort food?
Mashed potatoes!

10. What is your favorite way to relax?
Laying in bed with my laptop.

Real!

12. What's your favorite font?
I have over a thousand fonts on my computer...I'm pretty fond of cheri, digs my heart, all my dj inkers fonts, and a lot of times I like the simplicity of Comic Sans.




Thanks Patricia for inviting me to play along. :)
