It’s been one of those days today. I’ve been bed ridden all day, trying to shake an allergic reaction to medication that started up, full force on Saturday around 2am. I am definitely not at 100% yet but at least my medicine was switched and I’m not at 0% anymore!
Fresh made and glazed apple fritters.
I get them all to myself since Paul went to his MMA class ;D
And now I have this little, purring bumble bee cuddling with me on the couch. It’s good to be home!
One positive thing about the week?
I did a cool still life project with the students where they used white pencil on black paper. Here is just one of the many awesome drawings that was turned in on my desk.
Drove home blasting music as loud as I could stand it.
It felt like I was travelling in a Radiohead cloud.
That’s the closest to a smile that I can muster right now. Crappy day. I am just so thankful it’s Friday.
Anyone else feel like this work week was 20 days long?!
Blue Friday outfit: ON polka dot cardigan, Express peach bow tank, ON cream tank, H&M bright blue skinnies, Minnetonka moccasins
Apparently all of our family’s grooming happens in a 24 hour period. Ellie went to the groomers yesterday, Paul and I got haircuts today and leeloo had a little nail trimming sesh this evening.
We had an early dismissal from the kids today, due to some in-service training time. It feels weird to only have the students for 60 minutes at a time, instead of the full 90 minutes. It felt like as soon as I finished presenting on surrealism and got them going, I had to turn around and give the speech again. I barely had time to catch my breath! I guess I am just so used to block scheduling. I wonder if I would ever survive normal 38 minute periods again. Hmmmm…
Anyways, I did not pick out my outfit last night so I was a little worried that I was not going to be ready in time. And..SURPRISE! I was not out the door on time. Ha!
It has just been so tough getting up in the mornings. Winter is the worst for that. Just staying in bed feels so cozy, it is pure torture to get out of the blankets. It would also help if I was keeping up with my blasted New Year resolution of 8 hours of sleep a night. I suck. Well, back to the outfit. I decided to whip out my pretty silk dress since we had the short day and none of my classes were painting today. Yes…I dress around what medium my classes are working in for that day. Welcome to the world of an art teacher!
I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty Outfit!:
Anthropologie blue prairie dress, Apt 9 cream cardigan, Target rust tights, GUESS embellished cream flats
By the way, this stuff smells amazing. It is a nice mix between a hairspray, texturizing and shine spray. I had a coupon for it so it ended up only being about $2.
How suaveeeee of me.
All the snow we got over the weekend is melting around here. It was rain all day yesterday, gloomy but it cleared our yard up. Well, it cleared it up into a big muddy mess. Fun times when you have a dog!
Anyways, I bought this skirt with a Christmas gift certificate and I think it is so darling. I was a bit stumped on how to wear it at first. It is so flowy and girly, so I paired it with a light denim top to rough it up a bit. A student told me that she saw an almost identical outfit in a fashion magazine and thought that I had read it because my outfit was so close. Heck yeaaaah. Anyhow, it was comfortable. Except running in and out of the rain because that skirt is long and tends to want to drag in rain puddles. Carrying 2 large bags, a huge easel, an umbrella, a coffee and the bottom half of my skirt in and out of work must have been a sight to see…
Wintry Mix outfit:
Walmart light denim shirt, GAP black/white boat-neck, F21 peach maxi, F21 blue bauble ring, American Eagle leopard print flats
