A couple of the items that got me through the day...
Thank you, trusted lipstick, for curing my dry lips due to this winter weather.

Tuesday Teaching.
One of my most favorite things is teaching my fantastic kids at the highschool.
I've officially designated Tuesdays to recap any events that are noteworthy.
And trust me, there are many.
The demographic at the highschool makes this story even better.
65% Hispanic
25% African American
3% Asain
Caucasian Blondes: Me.
Today I was walking up the stairs to get to my classroom.
All of a sudden,
whistles started from down the courtyard,
and made a "wave" like effect down to the students that were directly by me.
I kept walking up the stairs, and the whistling and howling
got louder. and louder. AND LOUDER.
A couple teachers passed me on the stairs,
looked at me in shame,
and just laughed.
I felt so awkward.
But, I guess that's what happens when
you're the only blonde girl in the entire school.
Now on to thrify finds.
See that fantastic pendant and gold bow pin above?
My mom owns an estate sale business.
I found them as I was rummaging through old jewelry
at one of their current houses.
$1 total. I'm just not mad about it.
Any thrifty finds for you this week?

Oh my!! You surely must stick out among the rest! You probably could write a book on being the only blonde!
Great thrifty finds! And for a dollar?? Can't beat that!

You are so lucky your mum owns an estate sale business! You get first dibs on all the good stuff. Everytime there is an estate sale in my neighbourhood I have to wake up super early and wait in a long line. Before I get inside, all the good stuff is gone :(
