I Just Want it To Be Over...

Whew...yesterday was one helluva day...I worked 14 hours straight so unfortunately I'm tired and cranky today. Nevertheless, I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day with someone special. For those who don't celebrate VDay, I hope that you enjoyed anyway.  I have a bunch of random thoughts today. First and foremost is the fact that I'm ready to finish this 30 for 30 challenge already! Not that I don't love it, because I do-it makes getting ready for work so much easier in the morning. Even still, I have a number of reasons for wanting to finish early:

1. I'm more than halfway done and beginning to get antsy!

2.. I began taking outfit pics the minute Kendi decided to do a challenge for the winter so I already have them on hand to load up in my posts, otherwise they are just purposelessly sitting in a file on my computer.

3. I have to prepare for midterms so I won't have as much time to dedicate to detailed posts.

4. There's no set deadline...so I can do what I want!

5. LAST BUT NOT LEAST-I desperately want to wear some of my other clothes before winter is over!!!

So here goes nothing...

This is also my Color Brigade outfit of the week! Go here to participate.

When I want to be comfortable, I go for looks like this:



These are my 'Friday' pants



Join me tomorrow as I tell you my 'Word on the Street' and take on the '52 Books in 52 Weeks' challenge with...well there's a shit ton of people doing it so I can't really be sure of who the originator was. Even though we are already about 7 weeks into the new year, I'm still gonna do it because I've been slacking off lately and this will serve as my inspiration.  Yes, I'm a nerd...I encourage you to join me. Thanks for reading dears!

On A Monday, I Am Waiting...

I'm so sluggish on Monday's! I wish that the weekend were 3 days instead of two. Then my weekend would go something like this:

Friday: wind down from a week's worth of work, go to happy hour, hang out with friends

(insert random word)day: chill and lounge around the house all day in PJs, watch movies, maybe clean up a teeny weeny bit

Sunday: get ready for Monday

Unfortunately, doesn't look like things are gonna work in my favor anytime soon. 

Sooo, the Steelers lost! Green Bay won their first Superbowl in 14 years and I could care less because I don't like either one of the teams. Yeah, yeah I'm a Cowboy chic!  Shame on you who are pointing at the computer and laughing at me right now. I said it-I like the COWBOYS! I'm now left to wonder Wiz Khalifa's song 'Black and Yellow' is still relevant!

I'm gonna keep it short today because I need to get caught up on my real work, as in my 'job that pays the bills' work. In today's Weekly Gratitude news, I want to thank a couple of people who visited my blog and left me really nice comments:

1. "So, I love your red shirt and cardigan. I also loved that I LOL at your "awkard" section. "

By Mandy on You Know What It Is.... on 2/3/11

2. "Love this outfit especially the scarf..too cute, and my word on the street is the Commanding your Morning by:Cindy Trimm Awesome book about the power of what we say and daily affirmations. 2 thumbs up. "

By Natashia on Hey...Oh Let's Do It!! on 2/2/11

I'm thankful for each of you that stop by each and every day even though my blog is 2 days old (that was sarcastically said, BTW)! I love to visit other blogs and leave cool comments too but alot of your blogs won't allow me to leave comments so I'm not sure how to deal with that. Until then all I can do is window shop. If any of you have suggestions or tips let me know, otherwise, here's my Monday fit.

I'm not feeling this fit today but oh well, it's Monday and I woke up late. I can't wait to wear my Blazer tomorrow though  for Everyday Everywear's monthly feature. This month the item is the 'classic blazer'. Go here if you want to participate and show everyone how you style yours!  Thanks for reading!

 

I Only Want to see You Bathing in the Purple Rain!

Soooo, I took off for the weekend.  The 30 for 30 seriously had me worn out ALL-Ready!! Not to mention my weekend started off horrendously with a flat tire-I'm getting over a cold so I was trying to blow my nose while driving and.....WHAM right smack into the curb and busted my tire open!  Thank Mom for AAA-I've called those suckers TWICE in the last two months. If I keep going at this rate I might as well purchase some stock in the company.  I had a ton of homework I needed to catch up on and to top it off I had to do some birthday shopping for my mother-that took lots of brainstorming because really, what do you get for a woman who has everything!?  At any rate, one of my other projects for the weekend was to start scrolling throught Kendi's 'Remixer List' to see if I can add some new friends. And when I say scrolling I really mean scrolling-I started with the A's and have clicked my way through every single blog up until I stopped to write this post and I am currently on the E's.  Maybe I will be finished by the end of the challenge, maybe I won't!  While vigorously scrolling and clicking I was disappointed to see that several people haven't even updated their posts in months and suprisingly so, many of the remixers started their blogs specifically for the challenge. And to that I say:

"Damn Kendi, you gots skillz! Hats off to you and all of your flyness!" 

Speaking of flyness, check out mine:
