Job or No Job?

Here's what I looked like for most of the day today...

This morning I thought I had been cut. I was already mentally planning what I could do next.

By lunch time some of my friends had already gotten their pink slips, and I was just waiting to get mine.

Then toward the end of the day I found out that my bilingual certification (which I haven't been using for the past 5 years) saved me. So the good news is, I get to keep my job. The bad news is, I might be stuck in a bilingual classroom next year.

Yikes! Better brush up on my Spanish!

P.S. Thanks for all of your sweet comments and support. Looks like I'm safe for now!



What I Actually Wore Wednesday

I call this outfit (and just so you know, I don't usually name my outfits) my "Today I might be losing my job for next year because of budget cuts, so I might as well look cute while it happens" outfit. The good news is, it didn't happen today. The bad news is, they are voting on it tonight. I guess I'll have to find another cute getting fired outfit for tomorrow! Fingers crossed for good news!

Cardigan: Ann Taylor Loft

Yellow T-Shirt: H&M

Skirt: Gap (Love it with the pockets!)

Tights: Gap

Shoes: Target

Fake Pearls: Kohl's

Tickle Me Tuesday #2

Here are the accessories that have been tickling my fancy this week:

1) Rainboots.  I haven't had a chance to wear mine this week, but for some reason, I've just felt like it.  So I'm loving this photograph by Bartley Arts:

2) This scarf from Pearly Kiss:

3) This headband from Jordy is Crafty:

And the Winner is...

Thank you so much to everyone who entered our first giveaway. We loved reading about all your favorite green things: everything from grass to eyes to Ireland! I must say that my favorite is the same as Clarissa, who said avocados and guacamole. I have a slight obsession with guacamole at the moment.

Okay onto the good stuff. Our winner was chosen via random.org, and the winner is......

Comment #12: Kitty from A Law Student's Journey.  

Congratulations Kitty!  I will be emailing you soon to get your information.

If you didn't win, be looking for at least one more giveaway here this month.  Also, check out Kitty (the winner)'s blog because she has a giveaway going on right now!

Another Accessory Win

Not only did Allison win a pair of earrings this month, but I did too!

Well, I actually won a $10 credit to Paige's shop Pink Lemonade, but this is what I picked.  Aren't these little yellow rosette earrings adorable?  They remind me of Spring.  And even though it doesn't feel like Spring outside, I took some earring pics out there.

Pink Lemonade has a bunch of other fun accessories like headbands, necklaces, bracelets, hats, and more. Check out her shop here.

What I Wore Wednesday: St. Patrick's Day

This is kind of my anti-St. Patrick's Day outfit.

Like Aimee said, we are Scottish, so we're supposed to wear orange.

                But I'm also a first grade teacher, so I kinda have to wear green.

I decided to compromise and wear an orangey-yellow skirt today and save my green for tomorrow...

Here's a sneak peek at what I will be wearing tomorrow as I enjoy a Shamlocolate Shake...
