Back to school today.  No kids until Wednesday.  Cheering myself up about going back to this dumb job by wearing a dress with cute details.

Today is the one-year anniversary of my graduation.  It is also the one-month mrak until the last day of school.  It is also the day that, counting my personal day, there are 21.5 school days left.  That’s all.

Welp.  I haven’t been on many dates recently — I am just not super interested in a date or expecting to be thrilled by anybody new, but then again I wasn’t thrilled about D for the first month-and-a-half that we were dating.

My outfit.

We’ll call him N.  An online thing — through this website HowAboutWe.com where you post date ideas.  We both had similar dates posted about checking out local breweries, so I bet you can guess where we are going.  Only, there is no brewery tour so we are just eating and sampling beer.  I may eat some before I go so when I don’t eat too much in front of him.  It is one of those things where I can’t tell if he is cute from his pictures (like, they are sort of vague looking), which makes me uneasy.  I like knowing that I am at least attracted to a person.

Anyway, here goes.

PS — going to an NBA game tomorrow night.  Who cares if it’s a school night…YOLO!!!  I am ultra excited - it’s my first pro sports game other than baseball!  I suppose also I saw a pro (?) soccer game in middle school…but that hardly counts.

Well, this is officially the closest I have come this year to repeating an outfit.  Still, though, not entirely.  Jeans/sweater have been done together before but I don’t even think I have worn this shirt all year.

On bottom: Rail Straight Jeans in Madewell Wash, Madewell; Missing Pieces Belt, Madewell.

Blergh.  Once today is over I should have some free time to breathe.

Forgot that today was Pi Beta’s founder’s day when I was getting dressed….otherwise I would have worn badge attire and my badge.  I am too lazy to change.  But today is my chapter of DZ’s 9th birthday!  Hurray.  I’m SORT OF wearing a 1902 outfit, if jeans are also 1902-ish.

TWO DAYS UNTIL WEEKEND….36 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER.  Whoo.

I’ve so lost count of what day I am at — thank goodness my subject field caches all my subjects so I can see what number I last used!

It is supposed to be RETARDED hot today (yesssss)!

Music Ed Conference today….was worried that school would be cancelled and I was going to be FURIOUS because I worked SO goddamn hard on my sub-plans, but it seems that my district has to brave the snows so I WIN.
