Let's Get Acquainted Linky Party

I am linking up with Flying into First Grade for the Let's Get Acquainted Linky Party!  This is my first time linking up for this.  I have enjoyed reading every one's posts and decided that this time I was going to link up!
So, here is the game and the code:
TOPIC - Skittles Game
 
Here is the code:
Red- Favorite Ice Cream Flavor
Orange- Favorite Memory from College
Yellow- Favorite Sports Team
Green- Favorite Fast Food Place
Purple- Wild Card (Tell anything about yourself)
 
Red
 
Hmm...Does this give you a hint?  I just happened to have this in my freezer right now!  Don't get me wrong, I love cookie dough, moose tracks, cookies and cream, but my all time favorite is by far mint chocolate chip! 
 
 
Orange 
I don't think that I can pick just one memory from college.  I was just chatting today with a fellow teacher about our college. (We both went to Bowling Green in Ohio and are teachers in NC.)  My college years were some of my favorite years ever. I met some of my best friends in college.  We are still pretty close today!
Here is a picture from our trip to Myrtle Beach during college.
Here is a picture from this last summer of me and my friend Kelly.  She is in the picture from the beach as well!

 
Yellow:
I love watching sports. I don't really have one favorite sports team.  I am a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals and the Reds.  Those are probably my two favorite professional sports teams.  My brother played football at Northwestern so I still cheer for them in college football.
 
Green:
My favorite fast food restaurant in NC is probably Zaxby's. They have a really good grilled chicken salad served with Texas toast!  I also love a fast food restaurant from Cincinnati called Skyline.  This is my actual favorite, but I know less people will know what Skyline is!  It's Skyline time!
 
Purple:
I love to read.  I wasn't really a big reader until I was in fifth grade and was given the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of genres and authors.  I now love to read and that is one reason I look forward to the summer.  During the summer I read anywhere from 1-3 books a week.  During the year I read some, just not as much.  I have not read much at all this school year and I am really looking forward to picking up some good books this summer! 
 
Thanks for getting acquainted!

  2. We have so much in common. I'm a BG alum and Cincinnati native as well. I loved BG. It was an amazing college experience. I'm also obsessed with Skyline. I always eat there a couple of times while I'm home visiting. I also love the Reds and Bengals too. I'm about to watch the Reds game right now.

  6. Mint Chocolate chip is my favorite too! I am also you newest follower!

    I am hosting a linky. It all has to do with one dollar: anything that you buy, sell, find, love, or make for only a dollar. One reader just posted a diet coke—so anything goes!
