Another Rainy Day

It is still raining. I love the rain. I wish that I could stay home and wear my p-jams all day instead of going out and facing the elements. But alas, gotta eat so I have to gotta go to work. It was just a wee bit windy and a wee bit cold today which made standing outside for 2 hours with the kids a complete joy. Not!!!

The boots in pic #1 are really cute and when I put them on they felt alright. The problem came when I had to stand for over 2 hours plus walking on them. They killed my feet. Before I went to my second job, I went home and changed my shoes. Ahhhh comfort! I also wore a blue raincoat from Old Navy today. I forgot to put it on for the pictures.

Rainy Days and Tuesdays Really Get Me Down

Ok, I really love rainy days. It is the Tuesday and the fact that I had to go back to work. Sigh...
Rainy days are the worst when you work at a school. It is much like the scene in Airplane where they say "assume crash positions". The kids went nuts. I was never so glad to see the parents come and pick them up. Buhbye!!! More rain due tomorrow with more kiddy fun ahead. Yay!!!

The Outfit Du Jour 1/19/2010


Jacket - Riders Copper (thrifted)
Sweater - Talbots (thrifted)

Originally, I had on my pink Gap trenchcoat but I had to make a quick change when I dropped mustard all over the sleeve and lapel. It is currently in the washer so we shall see if it is able to be saved.
Please light a candle for my little coat.

M.I.A. (Missing In Arizona)

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. The family and I took an extended weekend and went to the Colorado River to spend a wonderful weekend at Laughlin. Did a little gambling, a little thrifting (no clothes because I am sticking to my word and budget) and a whole lot of relaxing. My outfits were not exciting because I didn't want to pack half of the house to go on a four day trip and I was going to be sitting and pushing a button for a good portion of the day so I just wanted comfort.
