Agenda

I recently got this sweater at Old Navy and really like it. I even got lots of compliments on it today. However the one thing I do not love about it, is that the material is extra itchy so it looks much more comfortable than it is.

Lots on the agenda for today:

1. finish my Christmas shopping

2. make a few more gifts

3. wrap presents

4. get my bangs cut

5. go grocery shopping (I don't even have milk or bread in my house right now)

6. pick up my house

Yikes! I better get started . . . . .

Oh to be 8 . . . .

Somehow my follower problem was solved, and then broke again! I have no idea what is going on! I was seriously upset this morning when I thought my followers had been lost! Hopefully it will all be fixed soon!

Today this was a conversation I had with some of my students who came in from recess in absolute hysterics. It took over 5 minutes to try to get the girls to stop crying enough to get anything out. Turns out they were hysterical because of their guilty conscience.

Me: "Can one of you tell me what happened?"

Student: "Well, last week Conner asked if he could come to my birthday party and I told him he could if I could control him at recess for one week. And so he's done whatever I've said until today when he didn't want to play soccer."

Turns out the girls then tackled Conner for not letting them "control him." Needless to say we had lots to talk about. Wow . . . . the life an eight year old is rough.

HELP!

When I signed in this morning something has happened to all my followers?? I haven't done anything different. They no longer are showing up, except for two?!?! Has this ever happened to you? How do I fix it?

HELP!

Personal Day

Yesterday I took a personal day. I've done it around this time of year for the last few years and love it! I got so much done in preparation for Christmas. The night before a few friends came over and we decorated Christmas cookies, which I ate three the next morning before 11:00. I made multiple Christmas gifts, as well as some orders from my shop and watched a Christmas movie. I got so much done but feel like I need a few more days to be all ready for Christmas. At least there are only 8 more school days until Winter break and I couldn't be happier about that!

First Snow

First night of December and the first snow! At this time of the year I get excited to see snow. Now in March I have a very different opinion. I couldn't be more happy that it is Friday today. Two more weeks and then Winter Break!

It's hard to see but I made my headband last night. I followed this tutorial and made it from jersey fabric. I'm excited to do more of them using old t-shirts.

My dog Molly was even excited about the snow and confused about me taking pictures!

Happy Friday!

Security

shoes

Two weekends ago I went shopping with my Lauren and Lauren (and my niece Lena). We found some great deals, but these shoes were by far the best deal. They were in the clearance section for $3.97 and then another 30% off that! Seems as though things are always cheaper in the stores because online they are $20. I want to wear them with tights, although that will be a slight fashion stretch for me.

On our way out of the store the security alarms went off, which seems to happen often, so we just kept walking. I have never been checked by an employee when they go off, so I'm not sure what the point is. Except that the next day when I went to put on my new sweater I found the bulky white security tag attached to it. Maybe I should stop and check when the alarm goes off.
