So Here I Am

I have pictures to post, and not a thing to say.  I'm just brain-dead.  I thought about discussing my distaste for linen and its constant wrinkles, but then I realized that I didn't have much to say other than that I shouldn't buy linen anymore.

And then I thought that perhaps I should discuss my recent recommendation for tenure.. but I'm not sure how I feel about tenure in general and don't feel up for any serious discussions about my job.

So here I am.  Wrinkled in linen.  Exhausted from a long week, avoiding the gym, and seriously considering some take-out for dinner.  Weekend, come quick.

Double Dots

I figured that I probably shouldn't double up the dots and mismatch my shoes, but I just liked the strange combo and so I stuck with it.  Polka dots make me happy, and after I spent a few hours this weekend looking for sheer polka dot fabric for wedding table cloths, it must have seeped deep into the "what to wear to work" side of my brain this morning.

By the way... I'm in desperate need of finding this fabric!  Helpppp!

A Nice Blouse

When I wore my new H&M top to work yesterday, I had one student in particular who just loved it.  I couldn't stop laughing because he kept admiring it and asking if it was silk.  

It is a very nice blouse, I must admit.  Not silk, but oh well.

Keep Sneaking

I was so proud of myself for remembering to snap a few photos this morning before work.  Unfortunately I forgot to add my blazer and purse into the pictures.  Blogging is HARD work.  Maybe one day I'll get it right...

In the mean time, I'm just going to keep sneaking cropped pants into my winter wardrobe... at least until I end up with frost-bitten ankles.

Hot Dog, Smart Dog?

I'm starting to think that Pajama Mondays should become a legitimate theme on this blog, because it's certainly a theme in my real life.  I found the perfect sweater this weekend at H&M.  It's super thick wool with a fuzzy inside and faux fur collar.... yessss!  This was my Christmas shopping distraction, for sure.

On another note, I was running super late this morning because of my big furball, Browny.  Last week, the vet told us that my dog has bronchitis or asthma, according to his chest x-ray.  We've had to give him pills 3x each day, and it's pure torture!  

My doggy is one smart old man, and no matter how much begging/pleading/bribing goes into it, I can't trick him into eating these pills.  The closest I've come to success involves feeding him bits of hot dog with the pills hidden inside... but more often than not, he schools me.

He takes the hotdog.  Then he waits.  Then chews, then waits some more.  Then he spits it.  Then he gobbles up the hot dog (sans pill) and laughs at my sick attempt to feed him pharmaceuticals.

Oh this trickery... Somebody out there help me!  My dog is outsmarting me!

Just How it Goes

I wore this a few weekends ago, but somehow never managed to share it.  It's from a Saturday, and it's pretty sloppy.   

Some days, unkempt is just how it goes.  

No point in fighting it...

First Day Jitters

I didn't actually have first-day jitters, but I saw so many adorable students who did!  Today our school was filled with lots of proud parents, new book-bags, and shy students.... as they all returned to school for a new year.

...And here I am at 7am after too little sleep.  I am so mad that I forgot to take this picture with my red purse.  How could I possibly put together a blue and white outfit and forget my red bag?!  

I didn't have enough coffee, that's why.
