Big B, Little B, What Begins With B?

Lei has given me the challenge of listing ten words starting with the letter B, with explanations as to why I chose those specific words. Here it goes!

1. Baby: We're getting very close to starting to TTC, so I've got baby on the brain!

2. Bananas: This describes my state of mind over the past two weeks (and for the next 2 weeks to boot).

3. Blueberry: Talking about bananas has me thinking about other fruit, and I'm seriously considering making a blueberry crumb pie tonight.

4. Bubble Machine: What my 2 year-old got me for my birthday.

5. Boxes: My classroom is full of these as I prepare to schlep all my stuff from my current school to next year's school (more on that later).

6. Blessings: I have more than I can count!

7. Beer: What I am going to want on June 9th at 3:16 p.m. (officially the start of summer vacation). Can I also request tranquilizers for the kids (even though it doesn't start with 'B')?

8. Big Brown (Spider): What I found crawling in my bathtub about a week ago. Erwin wasn't home, and since I'm such a wuss, I called practically everyone I could think of in my ward until I found someone at home that could come over and kill it before I went apopleptic.

9. Blue Bunny: My favorite brand of non-gormet ice cream (i.e., if I can't have Haagan Daaz or Ben & Jerry's). Anything chocolate, mint, oreo, or chocolate and mint and oreo is a good thing. If you haven't tried it, go get yourself some B&J Cookies N Mint. You will think you've died and gone to heaven!

10. Books: I LOVE to read!!!! I used the necessary purchase of a $15 book to justify spending another $60 last week. Yeah...I'm an addict. Things I've read in the past two weeks: Volumes 10, 11, and 12 of the Left Behind series (still finishing #12), Deception Point (Dan Brown), The Late Talker, Digital Fortress (Dan Brown..again, still finishing), 1 2 3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12, Toddler Theme-a-saurus (the original book I used to justify buying the other books), and Behold the Man (Gerald Lund). I do have to say that I read 1, 2, 3 Magic and The Late Talker both on Friday (I had 2 hours to kill on Friday after work before I could pick up Daniel...my new principal let us go home waaaaay early).
