Classic

The third Valentine's Day look this week is a classic pairing. An a-line skirt worn with a sweater reminds me of the 50's. Add in a polka dot blouse and you have a great retro vibe going on. To me, this feels so feminine and classy. It reminds me of something that my grandmother would have worn in the 1950's, but with a modern twist due to the lace and pink underskirting.  Complete the look with a red lip, pearls, and softened, finger-combed curls that flow around the face. 

over it

I'm completely over this cold weather. Barf. All I want to do is dress for spring! Spriiiiing! Elsa totally needs to stop this craziness that is happening. LET IT GO, ELSA! Preferably far away from here. But if the snow and cold are gonna stick around, I may as well enjoy my beautiful jacket from T.J.Maxx. 

mamma I'm a big girl now

I've quite the "To-Do List" this month. It might not seem like a lot, but these things are super time consuming, especially since I've been working over 40 hours a week. I'm kinda frightened. I'm hoping to get lots of this accomplished over Christmas break!! Here's a slight sample:

YouTube Tuesday

I'm so proud of myself for acting like a real person today and putting on normal people clothes instead of giving into the urge to stay in my pj's. And I even did my hair!! I suppose it also helped that I was going out in public. Eh. Who am I kidding, it's not like haven't gone out in public in my pajamas and/or looking a hot, train wreck, mess before. 

being a good citizen and all that jazz

I had jury duty for the past two days. I know, right! Ugh. It's the worst. Actually, it's not so bad. But it really snotted on my parade, because that meant that I'd be missing out on work and I only make $9 a day as a juror. And this really burned my biscuits. I'm left with a whopping $3 once I paid for parking. And negative money once I bought lunch. linaiefyoai!

Easter memories

Oh my gracious. I'm so excited that it's already Easter weekend! It's so hard to believe that it's already here. But it's a good thing. This weekend makes me reminisce about my childhood. Every Easter the families from my church would travel down to Nashville, TN to participate in the Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes convention at Opryland Hotel.

This was the highlight of our year and basically what the rest of the year revolved around. It was always so gratifying because I won a ton of medals and trophies for my hard work! Winning.

calling all soldiers of prayer

My grandfather has been extremely ill for quite some time now. But this past week, my family and I have noticed that he had started to turn yellow. Like, extremely yellow. We took him to the hospital, only to find out that he has a cancerous mass on his pancreas. The doctors can't do surgery because his heart is too weak for the procedure. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and help him get through his rough time!
