November 16 - 22, 2015

I spent the first three days of this week at a conference in SLC put on by SolutionTree. It was all about professional learning communities. I learned a lot of great things that I'd like to try out in my classroom and at our school.

November 9 - 15, 2015

Once again I have been as busy as a person could possibly be and still be a person. Teaching seven classes of 32-36 students is hard work.

October 5 - 11, 2015

This was another busy week. The weather here has been so beautiful that I've just been trying to enjoy it while it lasts.

September 28 - October 4, 2015

In a word, crazy. This week was so long and intense. I had a PDC meeting, an all day professional development class with Cris Tovani, and parent teacher conference on Thursday from 3 to 9 PM. I am pretty worn out after such a stressful week.

September 21 - 27, 2015

I couldn't even really think about clothes this week because I was so obsessed with the Volkswagon Beetle Convertible the BHW bought me for my birthday. It just makes me happy when I come out from work and see this car.

September 14 - 20, 2015

I am slowly getting used to working a full eight hour day.

August 31-September 6, 2015

Well, I made it through the third week of school. I've been a little tired, partly because my room was so cold, and I think it was a little draining on me to be in there. I finally got the temperature adjusted on Thursday. It had been about 66 degrees every day, but I got the janitor to push it up to 72 degrees, which feels pretty good. I'm a much happier camper. I'd worn a button-up with a wool sweater on Thursday, and I actually got a little warm by the end of the day. This is a long weekend, and it is much needed for me to get back into equilibrium.

April 27 - May 3, 2015

Only 19 days left of school -- I can do this.

April 13 - 19, 2015

What can I say? It's been an incredibly busy week. I was very relieved to get the CUWP book group on Thursday done with -- it's a bit of a scheduling nightmare.

April 6 - 13, 2015

This was Spring Break week, so not much was happening. I had great plans to get a few things done, but some of those went by the wayside. (We spent most of our Saturday fixing our washing machine -- it's things like that that end up getting our attention sometimes.) Everything here is very kick back, which was fine with me.

February 23 - March 1, 2015

This was a crazy busy work week and life week for me. Things are ramping up at school due to the end of the term. I tried to keep things pretty casual and still add a lot of color to my life -- hopefully I succeeded!

January 20-24, 2015

Hmmm...after three days I noticed I'd worn green every day this week. Maybe this is my way to fight back against the gray and dreary winter weather we are having?

January 11-17, 2015

I think my favorite outfit of the week was the black and white windowpane plaid skirt with the green sweater. I love black and green together. The sad clothing event of the week was accidentally getting a blueberry ground into the sleeve of my new-to-me Molly Ottoman orange jacket. Sigh. Hopefully it will come out.

Why am I wearing a skirt on a Friday? Hmmm...
Anyway, this is what I wore. My students loved the zebra necklace -- it is rather blingy. I'm just trying to enjoy the 55 degree temperatures we've been having before we are back to normal.

Today I went with this rather daring ensemble of purple and orange. Of course the one item of clothing that got the most comment were my purple loafers (that I painted purple instead of gray this summer). I really liked this pairing together -- the purple sweater I have is on the short side, so a lot of the shirt showed at the bottom, but that is the style right now, so all was good. As if this outfit needed any more livening up, I also added a tiger and some bugs.

I've been feeling under the weather all week. Normally I would go ahead and teach anyway because it's so much work to get a sub. Today I decided to go ahead and get a sub because I was going to have one tomorrow because I am presenting at the UCTE conference. I figured I already had to do a sub plan, so why not take a day to try to feel better and have more time to prepare for the conference. Anyway -- I did and consequently spent the day in grubbies. If I had got dressed today, this outfit might have been fun to try -- I do love mint or turquoise with red -- it's just so cheerful. Have I told you how much fun I've been having lately on Polyvore creating outfit combinations from clothes I have? It's rather addicting.
