astronomical statistics....and a funny story

so, the other day i was reviewing my stats and was ASTOUNDED that during the weekend of thanksgiving i had over 200 hits on my website.  well, a fun friend had "pinned" me on their pinterest board!  thanks new friend;)

however, she said i was funny....not sure if looks are everything but it sure put some pressure on me:)

so here is the funny story of the day....the other day we are talking about balanced forces in my jr. high class and those that mean no movement is happening. i asked the class if they could come up with an example in the classroom.  a student answered 'the books on the shelf!"

in my ever so eloquent way I responded "yes, good, the books shitting on the self"........

purple tights--we love colors
black/white striped shirt--thrifted
belt--thrifted
dankso shoes
chicos earrings

outfit 52--keyhole belt, gold shimmery sweater

this belt is leather with a stamp a stamp on the back that says "ring of fire--downtown los angeles"  when i google that phrase i get nowhere that would give me a clue to its origins....but i love the belt's uniqueness and that i got it for $3 at D.I.! 

these earrings were clearanced for $1 at Wal-Mart....not a place i try to shop all that often, but i really liked these and they ended up clinching this outfit of gold and gray for me.  not a color combination that i would normally put together, either! 

the sweater is shimmery metallic gold and  was $1 at Savers!  whoo hoo!  it has no tags in itso i can't even tell you who made this either. 

what i can tell you is 1) that DO go see the movie african cats:  oh, the photography is AMAZING!  i must hold me a baby lion before i die (even if it kills me--which might be an acceptable option:)

2) time and the atonement heal: last year at this time my husband's dad was diagnosed with terminal esophogeal cancer...it was the shortest/longest 11 weeks of our lives...although we both believe strongly in life after death it has been an extremely difficult year.  i am looking forward to June, just to have had the healing experience of TIME...

3) on a lighter note: do go get some chocolate peanut butter molten lava cake from chili's....it makes time worth it...maybe you go on date and see a movie and dessert afterwards? 

4)  this blog has been fun for me to have something to look forward to everyday and to find some really fun other fashion bloggers!

 sweater--thrifted--$3 sundance brand

skirt--thrifted--no brand

lane bryant t-shirt

skirt from who knows where because i have had it for so long

dansko sandals--$114

belt--thrifted--$2

crocheted flower accent--gift from friend

silver necklace and earrings--again, from who knows where because i have had them so long

outfit 45--argyle $1 thrifted sweater

this sweater was only $1(--maybe it looks like it--?)

i loved it because it is a thin sweater, with a hood and a classic argyle pattern

"pink and power brown" is one of my favorite color combos! 

however, next to my face, beige is not a good color, 

thus, i added the scarf to help maintain the healthier tones of my skin:)

i was excited, too, because my socks are pink and brown argyle,

"and then i am thinking oh, my gosh, it was like, perfect, because you know the pattern is there and repeated in the other place and it gets me all happy with repitition" 

fluttering hand motions inserted all along that exaggerated verbalism....brought to you by teaching jr. high all day, oh--they wear off on ya a bit:)

without the jacket and a little closer view, you can see the cute floral print and ruffles of the skirt. 

the pink t-shirt is okay for the summer but it is too casual for normal school wear. 

HOWEVER, it was 79 degrees in my room,

BECAUSE my room has been turned into a computer lab and has 28 computers for test taking

AND the air conditioning broke.....blech,

79 degrees plus 7 classes of stinky teenagers, does NOT a happy teacher make:)

this is where my basil and cilantro are going to be planted in about a month!

socks--sam's club
