{That time of the year when I lock myself in a cage}

Hello end-of-the-semester. I go to school looking normal but appear a little frazzled by the time I leave.

Hello dishes from a fabulous dinner party. Hello weird green Caterpillar Micah found in our backyard.

Hello first holiday party. It was fun to dress up. 
P.S. The theme was “Christmas Vacation” National Lampoon style. Silly…

Hello husband’s antics. After I caught him making a s’more concoction in the oven {for breakfast no less!}, I then watched him attempt to hook up an old TV in the backyard to catch some rays and football at the same time. Life is never dull around here.

Hello school day. This is my new cage in the library. I lock myself in to get some serious work done. 
Hello new necklace from Caroline G. She has so many cute styles and is offering crazy discounts this week!
Hello deliciousness from the kitchen. Nothing like cutting fresh fruit for a Thanksgiving salad, while sipping an eggnog latte.

Hello fun reads. Despite the mounds of reading, writing and grading I have to do for school over the next two weeks, it’s nice to take a break every now and then for some extended time in the Word and a Sunday afternoon magazine break by the pool. Did I mention it’s still in the mid 80s here? Like every single day.

Hello Christmas decorations. It’s nice to see you again.
Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and are enjoying the start to this Christmas season!

  4. Your husband's rice krispie mess cracks me up! So something my hubs. would do!

    Whenever I come home, I always tell my husband I look/feel "all day-ish." That was a foreign concept to him until we got married. I think he always thought girls come home looking bouncy and carefree and fresh- SURPRISE! 🙂

    You still look fresh as a daisy, though! This was a cute post!

  7. Yay! I finally checked out your blog! I love it. And this was my favorite post so far. Especially the picture of Micah + tv. Husbands are funny!
