3/52

It's the end of the Third week of 2017 and I'm holding strong to my weekly wrap up blogging! WHOOO HOOO!! 

This week was a quieter week, which was great after the super busy week previously. I also didn't feel that good for the majority of this week so I was thankful to not have a lot of extra things to do/places to be.

 I started off the week with a seriously productive Monday. I love when I wake up an hour or so earlier than my alarm, because it gives me extra time to get stuff done before teaching. I like not feeling rushed! I got a lot of paperwork done, and even started on my TAXES! GO ME!!
 I also had to make a quick run to Dollar General, and found this Chocolate coffee creamer on sale! I was stoked! I love my peppermint mocha coffee creamer so I had high hopes for this. It is good, just not sure if it's my favorite. Need to test it out some more!
 That evening I had a student cancellation so I used that time to re arrange my food cabinets.  I will spare you the pictures of all of them, but I was really happy with myself! This is my baking/snack area. And yes I have approx. 9,789,343,220 rolls of Ritz crackers because my Mom bought a massive thing of them at Sams.
 After I was done teaching that evening, I changed into comfy clothes and snuggled on the couch to read a book by my new favorite author, Kristi Ann Hunter. I received one of her books to review, and loved it so much I got the other two books from the Library. I loved them as well!!
 Apparently I took zero pictures Tuesday and Wednesday. not sure what happened, but here we are on Thursday. I decided that was the day to wear a skirt for the week. I couldn't find any black tights so I have on grey ones. And realized after I took this picture I have a lot of stripes on. Thursday was a struggle. My outfit reflected that. HA!
 Normally Thursdays I eat my dinner, or rather inhale my dinner, standing up, or at my desk, since i have very little time between students. BUT one of them happened to have Strep and had cancelled their lesson, so I got to eat SITTING DOWN! And Chewing! Oh it was glorious!!! Chicken Fajitas was on the menu and it was yummmmmyyyyyyy!
 Friday I was obsessed with watching the Inauguration. I turned it on the morning when I was getting ready and the folks at NBC quickly sucked me in with all their historical facts and trivia. I literally had my tv on ALL DAY LONG with coverage going. Even when students were here, I had it on, and on mute! I watched the swearing in and then ran out to do some quick errands before teaching.
 My name is Charity and I love tomatoes and cucumbers. Yes I got three packages of tomatoes, because they were on sale for 99 cents! Had the cucumbers been on sale, I would have bought 3 or more, lets be real. 
 Back from Adli and unloaded. Watching more coverage while I eat lunch. It should also be noted that it was so warm outside that I ditched my socks and have on ballet flats. I even had my window open at one point! 60's in January in Indiana.. crazy...
 The top of my outfit for Friday.

 Friday night I did some projects around the house, like finally hanging up the new curtains my Mom made me.
 And getting beautiful Hashtag Single.
 Saturday the only picture I took was of my cucumbers and ranch snack.
 Sunday it was Church time!!!!! 
 After lunch I decided to work on a craft project, painting this metal wall art. A student gave it to me for christmas, and I am painting it Mint green, and then going to hang it on my in progress Galley Wall in my living room. Yes, I know people have been doing galley walls for like the past 10 years. I like to be late to trends.
 I did not wear flip flops to church, but I strongly considered it!!!!!
 Painting in progress!!

After crafting it was time to clean and organize my performance binder. I haven't had a concert since the Christmas season, so I had to clean out Christmas music and put my old standards and some newbies in. And of course, PRACTICE!! I played with the window open in the studio which was great!!

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...
