Evaluation Day

Today was my teacher evaluation, I was very nervous because I'm new to my grade level and I still feel like I'm learning the curriculum. Thank God everything went well and I got a really good evaluation. I'm glad it's over! Then I came home and found an envelope with a traffic violation ticket, those darn automatic traffic cameras, don't you just dislike them? It's still a great day though.

With or without

Hi everyone! I have a girl's movie night planned at my house tonight. One of our friends is having us watch Star Wars movies. She cannot believe we have made it this far without having watched them, but before that I might have to make a quick trip to the thrift stores, I haven't been to one in a while. Have a great weekend everyone!

Unexpected Changes

A month ago my doctor prescribed me a medication that caused me to gain weight as a side effect. I didn't know this was going to happen, so I was very surprised when I found out that I had gained 10 pounds. Needless to say, I urged my doctor to switch my medication. I'm working hard to lose the weight in a healthy way and hopefully everything will get back to normal soon, for the sake of my health and my pretty skirts, that as of now, fit very, very tight. Wish me luck!

On a cold, cold day

I don't know why I thought not wearing tights was a good idea. Today was sunny but cold, I would have been more comfortable if I had worn tights, oh well! I love this skirt, the darker floral print makes it very wearable during the Fall/Winter.

Sunday Best: Pink Dress Refashion

I've read everywhere that green is the color of 2013, but I'm currently obsessed with pink. I thrifted this vintage dress a while ago, and although I must admit it reminds me of a pepto-bismol bottle I am in love with my pink dress now. All I did for this refashion was cut the sleeves to 3/4, take in on the sleeves, shortened the length, lowered the neckline and added a collar and a lace bow.
Before
Looks more lavender in the before picture because of the different camera and flash.
After
Wore it to church with my vintage purse.

TMI

It's funny how little kids don't get the concept of Too Much Information. Today, as we were dismissing our students, a little girl came in running calling out to her cousin (in a very loud voice) "Michael! I don't have underwear on!" The mom shushed her away immediately, I had to step inside and laugh out loud, she was so funny I couldn't help it!

100th Day of School

Today we celebrated the 100th day of school, the kids were very excited, but not as excited as they are for tomorrow's Valentine's day party. Thanks to my wonderful assistant (who sold many chocolates) we won a class pizza party! First pizza party I don't have to pay for, so I'm pretty excited about saving the money, cha-ching! =)

Sunday Best: Casual Outfit

I didn't feel like getting dressed up for church today, so I wore this casual outfit. We had a bad storm last night and it kept me awake, so with very little sleep the last thing I wanted to wear was heels. Now I'm off to catch up on some sleep. Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

Getting ready for picture day

What a busy day it was! Tomorrow is picture day and I don't know what to wear yet, every year I try to pick something simple and classic, so that 30 years from now my students don't have a laugh at the expense of my strange outfit. This is what I wore to work today, hope everyone is having a great week!

Sunday Best: Red Hat

It's a beautiful sunny winter day outside. The perfect day to wear my hat. I had stored it in a box under my bed and last year I forgot to wear it. I didn't want this winter to end without wearing it again. I decided to keep the rest of the outfit simple, and instead of my usual red lip I tried eye make-up, I like the way it makes my eyes look but I'm too lazy to do it every day.
