Five for Fridays and Giveaway Gossip

I am linking up with Kacey over at Doodle Bugs Teaching for a fun Friday linky!

1. Today is officially the last day of my Winter vacation. I return to school on Monday for a fun-packed day of meetings. (Do you hear the sarcasm?)

2. I love all the time that I got to spend visiting my family this weekend. Other then blogging and pinteresting I have not done anything school related all week.  Now I really need to get down to business and grade those papers and start those lesson plans. I guess there is always Sunday!

3. I rediscovered a TV series that I loved when it was first on. Alias! I watched 11 episodes yesterday alone! If you have an Amazon Prime account or Netflix online you can watch it free! WooHoo!!

4. The puppy cam is back! Over the summer I fell in love with these adorable puppies that are part of the Warrior Canine Connection! These dogs are raised with the intention of becoming therapy dogs for Service Men suffering from PTSD and TBIs. The dogs will then be trained to be mobility service dogs for those with mobility impairments. One of their other dogs, Misty, has just given birth to another litter which will be featured on the the live came to help raise awareness for this wonderful organization.

Click to visit the Puppy Cam! BEWARE! It is HIGHLY addictive!

5. I have LOVED staying up REALLY late and sleeping in this past week but now I need to work on getting up early this weekend so Monday won't be a total bear. I started today by waking up at 7am to make the 3 hours drive home. I might have ruined it by taking a nap after unpacking though.
