Oh!!! And a back to school dress!

Okay. I can't stop with just the shoes.

This is a back to school dress to match. *And it even has a school themed name!

Learning Curve Dress

Back to School Shoes

My lack of blogging can be blamed on getting things ready for my new 4th grade class. Not that I haven't managed to waste time in other ways here or there but most of my computer time has been spent looking at other teacher's really organized classrooms or making classroom job applications.

So after surviving my first day with my 17 (maybe, two did not show up) 4th graders, I just want to look at shoes for a few minutes.

Here are my favorites:

Now, come on first paycheck!

Nashville Road Trip

I'm way excited about the final road trip of the summer. I've always wanted to go to Nashville. What can I say I had to listen to a lot of country music as a child and I don't mean that as a bad thing.

Oh, and we're seeing Arcade Fire at the Ryman, on Jon's birthday. Too exciting.

Isabelle and Photo Booth

There are some times when I realize I start to wonder if I take too many pictures of my cat. Tonight I randomly opened Photo Booth and realized most of the saved pics were of me trying to capture her cuteness when she (and the computer) were on my lap. She doesn't get on my lap too often and stay there for long so I try to capture it if I'm on the computer anyhow. I'm sure this won't be the last of the Isabelle/Photo Booth attempts.

Oh, and one of her sleeping on my pillow. Extra cute.

Kitchen Displays: Organization

Ever since last week's cake making session my kitchen has been a mess. I still have cake tools everywhere and can't seem to get the desire to have them organized. Then I saw this kitchen and had complete kitchen envy (open shelving, bright, pretty glasses and dishes, touch of pink).

I know what I'll be doing the rest of the day.
