I found these boots in a consignment store over the weekend. They look like they’ve only been worn enough to get them broken in - since I brought them home and cleaned them up, they look pretty much brand new! Too bad it’s almost the end of boot-wearing weather… but that’s ok, since I intend on wearing these for a while :)

I originally wore this dress today in pseudo-mourning of having graduated from college two years ago this weekend, since that’s what I wore then. I always think of this as my watercolor dress, but I think I’m gonna have to rename it my compliment dress: coworkers and students both, allll day long, were like “I loooove that dress!” “You look so pretty!” “Where did you get that?! It’s soooo cute!” Definite self-esteem booster :) I’m always excited when one of the kids tells me they like what I’m wearing, too!

Today was one of those deceptive days where you think you’re not going to have much to do… juuust kidding! But at least it makes the day go faster :) And now all the kids in the lower school have a pretty class picture, plus or minus a few goofy faces, haha. I also got to have dinner with SB, Lucy, and Meg in Greensboro tonight, which was awesome! We’re making improvements on getting our schedules to cooperate and see each other all together more than once or twice a year… this makes me very happy :D

Hello again! Sorry it’s been a little while since I’ve updated - had to work this big carnival at school on Saturday, and then I’ve been enjoying having the house to myself since then. My parents took a vacation on the way to go pick up my sister from college, so I’ve been taking advantage of having a very nice, well-stocked kitchen to myself! I’m excited to know that I can concoct tasty, and surprisingly healthily I might add, things to eat when circumstances will no longer allow me to take advantage of my mama’s cooking :)

The rain finally went away! And it so kindly left in its place humidity-free skies and pretty green pastures full of buttercups, which I took full advantage of during today’s photo session. I love all the colors of spring… fall is pretty with its fiery leaves, but spring uses every possible shade of green to its advantage, not to mention all those pretty pinks and yellows! Slash I wasn’t aware buttercups came in tie-dyed versions… maybe they’re the hippies of the flower world? Ha.

My outfit matches the weather… but the scarf is me hoping that the sun will decide to come back asap! All this rain is definitely putting a damper [heh look at me making puns] on taking outfit pictures. At least today has downgraded to a light rain vs the downpour/intermittent hail that was happening when I got home from work yesterday. Ain’t nobody got time for being out in that mess.

Going with a pretty heavy nautical theme seemed appropriate for today’s monsoon-y at times weather. Today would have been a good day to drink tea and read all day long… so after I finish this, I’ll probably do that for a couple of hours to make up for lost time :D

It’s finally Friday! Today actually went pretty quickly, I had lots to keep me busy and I got to go in late since I was at that trade show last night. Yearbooks are halfway passed out and we’ve made some good progress on ideas and organization for next year, which is exciting! Now I have one last email to send out and I’ll be home free for the weekend… sounds good to me :D

Today was another busy day, but made better by getting Mexican for lunch with SB, and again for dinner at a trade show I had to work tonight! Any day with multiple Mexican meals is a good one in my book :D Also, any day involving spontaneous dance parties at said trade shows makes it pretty awesome too! I’m so glad tomorrow’s Friday, because it sure seemed like it should have been Friday today. But Monday and Tuesday felt like they were swapped, so I guess it’s just been one of those weird weeks where your days never seem to match up for whatever reason.

Everything is finally all pretty and green outside! And I think the pollen might be mostly washed away after the rain we’ve had over the past couple of days… fingers crossed. I’m excited for my day off tomorrow - I went to JoAnn’s after work to get some fabric for my newest project, which you will most likely be seeing on here soon :D
