Here we go, S-E-V-E-N things you may not know about me:
1) My name is Michaele, pronounced "My-kul," like Michael Jordan. It's NOT **Michelle** (Yes I'm sure, and no, my parents didn't want a boy.)
2) I prefer to wear men's watches, big, clunky, and loose on my wrist like a bracelet. I'm often told "Oh, Mrs. Sommerville, be careful, your watch isn't clasped, it's going to fall off" by eagle-eyed parents and colleagues.
3) I miss pile carpeting for the sole reason that I'm addicted to the carpet tracks created by a fresh vacuuming.
4) The fingernails are ~real~. I highly recommend this topcoat product found at Sally Beauty stores:
5) My favorite Muppet is the Ma-Nah-Ma-Nah Guy.
6) I'm not a big fan of people who WON'T share. Might be a kindergarten-teacher-thing.
7) Along with forty other teachers, I was recently honored as a Kansas Teacher of the Year Nominee, proudly representing my school district, colleagues, Super Stars, and their families:
The funny thing about the banquet? I forgot to wear a watch. Turns out all nominees were given one (with an apple on the face of course!) in recognition of their dedication to teaching. It's the first women's watch I've owned in over a decade, and with the leather strap, it's anything BUT loose.
I guess people won't have to worry about me losing my watch now!
