A Late What I Wore Wednesday....

Its my sarong part 2... this sarong I got at Groopdealz as well as the flipflops... 

I was all dressed up yesterday because I had a whole like grown up outing... I met my girls for dinner first and then I asked my hubsband if he wanted to meet me for a drink after.... so Jack and hubs came out and had dinner while I had drinks... and the place we were at had a trivia contest... Now Jack is an "Office" fanatic and I don't know if you know the episode where they went out and played in the trivia contest... so we stayed... we were in first place until the very end where you had to wage points on the final question... so the question was, "What is the disorder that is characterized by delusions of grandeur and an over importance of self?" so hubs gives me some name... I didn't know... turns out we were WRONG and the answer was megalomaniac.... uggggggghhhhhhh!!!! I think I have that!!! How could I have gotten it wrong?! 

In any case, I got to see what people are doing while I'm  sitting on the couch in my pj's at 9 at night... once a year outings are pretty much all I need...

Some making up to do...

Hey all.... I had to crop my feet out of this pic because I swear... they looked like Fred Flintstone's!!!! I swear I had to have had some kind of foot binding gone wrong when I was a baby....

I know I've shown you pics of my classroom.. but yesterday I turned the corner and cleared all surfaces to my satisfaction... I have to go in to school next week from 8-6 for registration and I'll have time to tie up any loose ends... 

The little drawer I got at Salvation Army.. its originally from Pottery Barn Kids... Its a good little seat for my little puppies and the drawer is good for storing pillows...

You know no room would be complete without LETTERSSSSS!!! and here they are... 

This little banner I got form Groopdealz.com... its right over the door...

So now we await the arrival of my new little puppies...we are on a countdown to T-16 days to students... just the thought of it makes me sleepy....

OOTD and some other ramblings....

Another no makeup day... but verrrrry comfortable... I got these pants at Target.. they are like sweats but skinny version....do you see that gross zit like thing on my lip? its hormones!!!! I think (pray) that I am going into menopause and every month before my period I get some kind of growth around my mouth.... I am going to the dermatologist to find a treatment for this ... It is such a nuisance!!!!!

I found this painting at Goodwill for 9.99... My parents had this same exact painting in their formal living room the entire time I lived at home... what is it?? Heck if I know...

I had to give myself a pedicure because the place I was going to get my toes done... I just wasnt' satisfied like the last 3 times I went... the foot massage is like half assed... and even the nail art that I loved so much wasn't up to par... so I'm doing my own toes now.. my days of getting pedicures are over :(
I hope you had a GLORIOUS weekend my friends... Heres to a great week ahead!!

Look how much better we look in black and white....

I know I have said it before...but I swear... I look so much skinnier, richer, younger, more lively, more interesting, etc.. in black and white... in cold harsh color I look fat and poor and boring and dumb.... black and white is my best friend...

I am totally doing good on my picture every day... we are on day 5!!! Some are good... some are bad... but today we put on makeup!!! Yay!!! Makeup!!!!  My neighbors next door are doing some kind of earth excavation that started this morning at 8 am so I've been hearing the backup beep! Beep! Beep! all day long.. I think it was even in my dream.... Thus.. I have to get out of my house!!! Have a wonderful wonderful day today... I'll be back tomorrow... probably back to makeup free... but don't hate... we're trying to save water by not showering... 

Still keepin it REAL!!!

Good Afternoon Lovelies!!!! Still keepin it real with the NO makeup summer!!! I'm saving like soooooooo much money on foundation.....

This morning I had breakfast with my dad and promised him  I would put up this pic of my mom... (in which she looks a little tipsy) My dad swears up and down that we look exactly alike in this pic... now I admit.. I have made this smirk before... but unless I look a little drunk all the time... I don't know if this captures our resemblance...

Keepin it Real...

In the spirit of full disclosure... this pic was taken at @ 4:30... the normal time I put on pj's during the school year... I didn't have my pj's on all day... I did get actually dressed... I am now 95% done with my classroom.... Now... did I just shove a whole bunch of stuff from my previous classroom in the storeroom?? Maaaaybe....... but its OUT of my previous classroom and now the new inhabitant of my previous classroom can now take FULL and COMPLETE ownership... thats what counts...So now we are at the place where all we have left is to print out all my stuff for the first couple of weeks.... 

Now with summer winding down I will be sad to leave my main love... TV.... I have been really diving into some new shows... such as....

1.  Naked and Dating.... I watched the first two episodes of this show (8:00pm VH1) and I am IN!!! Its kind of like Naked and Afraid with food and alcohol... the first couple go on a naked date, then those two people go on two more dates (naked of course) and then at the end, the 2 original people decide who to go on a second date with....

2. 20\20... I know.. this isn't a new show... but the stories are new... I watched a story about a teen who was killed by her two friends... all 15... I am still wondering how this happens.....

3. American Ninja Warrior... I know.. I know.. I've said this one before... but we only have like 2 left... and our girl Casey Catanzaromay become the first female ninja.... so tune in on Monday to see if she makes it!!!!! 

WIWW!!!!

Good Afternoon Lovelies!!! Its What I Wore Wednesday over at thepleatedpoppy.com, tuckerup.blogspot.com, and cappuccinoandfashion.com... I am keeping my goal of always taking a picture no matter what... we are on day 2 hopefully I will be able to keep it up!!!  Today's inspiration is f rom one of my FAVORITE blogs...forlaurenandlauren.blogspot.com.. she put up this pic...

 and I HAD to copy.. shes got a longer mid section than me and thats why my kimono is shorter.. but she looks so adorbs it inspired me!!!

Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday my friends!!!

A picture no matter what

Hey all... If you can't tell by today's pic I am at the hospital with hubs while he gets his filter out... He has a history of blood clots and the filter helps to thin his blood... But he doesn't need it anymore (Update: tried to retrieve filter... blood clot was IN the filter.. filter stays in indefinitely as it is doing its job quite nicely....)

I have made a drastic decision to put my pic up every day no matter what.... This is me in all my just woke up, put NO makeup on, threw my hair in a bun, and put clothes on body..... You may see a lot of these pics..... But that's life......
and on the brighter side and to try to  take your eyes away from my huge hips that this pic is showing:( ... While we were waiting and hubs was getting prepped, the nurse asked if we wanted to pray with her... we said, "sure".. so we all joined hands and she prayed over us... it was like a ray of sunshine had hit our face... it was a really special moment.... so PLEASE imagine that and not my humongous hips in this pic....

My uniform... with new shoes...

Over the summer I've discovered that I wear one thing... jeans, a t shirt of some kind and flip flops... well the dog photobombing my pic has diarrhea and diarrhea'd all over my flip flops!!! So we switch it up.. the inspiration for these shoes??? this pic...

 from goatandlulu.blogspot.com.. that girl is the CUTEST thing on two feet!!! look at the whole outfit...

 Adorable right???? I can't get away with the sleeveless tunic... my arms are not as toned as Amanda's.... but the shoes completely inspired me... so no flip flops today.... thanks to a diarrhea dog and a super cute blogger!!!

Some more progress on my classroom....

Hey y'all... I went back to the classroom today... told NOONE I work with I was going(just like the grinch... "solve world hunger.. tell NOONE)... I kind of just snuck in.. the goal... to just work work work... no talking.. no gossiping... just me and my new classroom..... Heres my progress....

ok... here is the view from  the door... now mind you.. there is still work to be done.. but we're gettin there....

This is right to the left of the door.. center work and the student's reading red bags.. they take a book home a night from the selection for homework....

to the right of the door... the computer center...two ikea tables... one for 40.00 at IKEA.. one for 9.99 at Goodwill.... 

the back of the room.. this is the only reading corner I had... remember my other reading corner?

 oh well.... moving on...

I got the flags from Groopdealz.. cute right? 

A little writing center at the end of an extra table...

this is the job board.. everyone gets a job....

My carpet/gathering area

My wildly crooked word wall.... this bothers my co workers... not me...

and the rug to feel homey... Do you see the shelf above the hooks??? Totally organized (kind of) now...
Basically what I do  is move stuff from one place and on to another... then I straighten it....



Next pic may even have students in it... ugggh..... students will ruin the nice neat classroom.......
and if I showed you my neighbor's room you would CRY at how organized it is!!!  Students could literally come in tomorrow and she'd be ready.....I've gotta keep up!!!

a late What I Wore Wednesday

I'm switiching it up today and going outside for my pic.... not the greatest pic... but y'know we work with what we've got.... Today we are linking up with Lindsey over at thepleatedpoppy.com and Sarah over at tuckerup.blogspot.com...go to their blogs.. and if  you get a chance... go to goatandlulu.blogspot.com.. she is about as cute as a button and her outfits this week are ADORABLE!~ 

Watch this show... read this book...

Hey y'all.... its time again for watch this show read this book...

1. Orphan Train... I'm right smack in the middle of this book.. REALLY good!!! I haven't read a good book in ages... this is a great welcome back...

2. Rev... This is an original show on Hulu... again.. Hulu shows commercials and this frustrates the living daylights out of me, but this show is cute.. its on a bbc and now hulu so everyone has lovely  English accents....

3. The Bridge  The Bridge is back for season 2... this show is really good at showing the dark side of Texas...

4. Masters of Sex
 Masters of Sex started last night and boy oh boy... Entertainment Weekly says this show is so good because the true stories arent' about sex.... last night we saw Beau Bridges character, Roland who is a gay man in the late 1950's try to "cure" his homosexuality with electro shock treatment... it was sooooooo painful to watch... but it definitely shows the struggle of gay men during this time and their need to be "normal"...
