Life Lately (According to my phone)

It's the dog days of January and nothing super exciting is going on in my world. I've had a sinus infection for about a week now, so I'm tired and run down. Here's a glimpse of what's been going on.

 This has been my uniform this month, leggings, a dress or tunic, and the most comfy, warmest boots known to mankind. Technically they are outside boots, but since I work from home I turned them into slippers. I wear these almost every day.
 When January hit and it started to get colder, the mess of students and siblings coats on the floor got to me. One weekend I decided I HAD to make a coat rack. So I took an old piece of wood, painted it the same color as my sofa table, and then put 3M hooks on it. I love how it turned out!
 And I might have already blogged about this, so if I did let's just pretend I didn't, ok?
 The view from my teaching chair.
 With having stitches forever and a day, washing and styling my hair was a chore. Several days I washed it the night before and put it in a bun to air dry without letting the curls free, then in the morning I got out the curling iron and attempted to curl some of it. I am really not skilled with a curling iron, but I enjoyed having a different look.
 It looked cuter in person :)
 One night a student had a blanket with her in her vehicle, and brought it inside to show me. I thought it was so neat! Her Grandma made it for her, she LOVES sheep!
 I switched out my decor to Valentine's day, and there are my trusty cozy boots again!
 My Truck needed fixed, so Dad came to town and took it home, and I borrowed my Mom's vehicle for several days. It was weird being in the passenger's side of my truck!
 It's easy for me to get dehydrated, especially when I am teaching long days, and/or sick. My goal for 2016 is to drink a  gallon of water every day.  I fill up my gallon jug each night before I go to bed, so I can track how much I drink everday.
 Dunkin Donuts opened in our town on Monday. I went there Tuesday :)  I don't think I had been to DD since I was a child, it did not disappoint!
I was really impressed with their Mocha Coolatas. I think that's what they are called? Their version of a Frauppucino. The medium size was the same size as a SB Venti, and several dollars CHEAPER! and in my opinion I thought they were better than SB! DD you have won me over!

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
