school marm

grrrrrrr.....

 we look so much alike. :)

sorry about the icky face. no sleep last night. grouchy as ever. stepped in poo while taking these pictures. at least it'll be a four day week. took yesterday off to go to a bevy of physicians (who should totally buy you dinner for all the invasion you suffer at their hands, i might add). it'll be a good week. it's a special person's birthday and i've got a bunch of surprises. can't explain til next week as he'll no doubt be lurking here.

realized i've been out of the blog loop since FRIDAY. no idea what's going on in the (blogging) world. also, still tinkering with the blog. trying to find a layout i like. i wanted it simply laid out, but i've kind of begun to enjoy this dinky orange background. will continue to poke at it.

tried to sell these shoes a few months back and no one bought them via ebay. so now working on incorporating them despite my plank-flat feet (i.e., three pairs of socks). also, i realize my hair is all sorts of mad due to the variety of textures i've been blessed with.  so i pinned it up á la Flawless Mistake. I've done it with my hair loose, but it never occured to me to do it with twists in until I checked out her blog. My twists don't last very long and my twist-outs are mad, so this is a good way to keep them neat and for a bit longer. There's literally about 3 dozen pins in my hair.
