houston, we have a problem.

No worries. Not a major problem. Just a little annoyance. And not that you care to know...but I’m going to tell you anyway.

After Christmas, I went with my family (and the boy) to Williamsburg, Virginia for a little R&R! One day while we were there, the weather was really ugly so we went to the outlet mall near our hotel. I was in hog heaven! They had awesome deals, and I got some new “teacher” clothes. Exciting. I don’t think the rest of the family was nearly as excited as I was to be shopping. Sorry, Whit! And the joke was that my shopping budget was a whopping $75! Ha. I did exceed my budget just a tad (thanks to my lovely mother...but don’t tell my daddy), and I was able to buy over $500 worth of clothes for a little over $100! That, my friends, is what I like to call a BARGAIN! :) Shirts and skirts and jeans...oh my!

I got a couple of skirts from Ann Taylor because they were long, loose-fitting, school-appropriate...and dirt cheap (that’s the BEST part)! Ha. I really like the black skirt I got, and it’s cute and comfy (that’s always a plus) with a black/grey leopard print long sleeve shirt and grey leggings and flat black boots. However...the leggings make the skirt ride up! It’s SO annoying! And I don’t know how to fix it!

The problem outfit. Please excuse that I took this at the end of the day when I  was all wrinkled.

I went to Target in search of a slip that might fix the situation. I ended up with these two things. (1) A nude, loose-fitting slip. (2) Black, spanx-like shorts that are made out of slip-like material. And guess what?! Neither of them work with the skirt! The nude slip is too loose and slinky to wear under the skirt, and the black shorts are not long enough. It still rides up. Grrr. I even sprayed hairspray ALL over my leggings in a desperate attempt to get rid of the issue! How do I fix it?!

The good news is...the world is not going to end because of my skirt problem. Did y’all know that?! Tomorrow is a new day. And I’m ready for it!

My lunch is packed and chillin’ in the fridge!

I love love love this lunch box! It's personalized and HUGE!

My outfit is hanging and ready!

Yes, I'm dressing casual tomorrow. Don't judge. It's the last day of exams, and the students are going home early!

My bag is organized and sitting by the door! And I got a shower tonight so that I can sleep in until 5:30 tomorrow morning. Ha.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. My first official day of student teaching went well. It was pretty uneventful. I proctored an exam for 3.5 hours. Do y’all know what is worse than taking a 3.5 hour exam??? Sitting and WATCHING someone else take a 3.5 hour exam. It’s quite painful.

I’m off to bed...but before I rest my sleepy little head, I’m going to finish the Harry Potter that I didn’t finish last night!

Peace and blessings...and wardrobe malfunctions.
