I don't know how you straight hair-ed mama cats do it! I straightened my hair the other day. I never realized how much you have to worry about. I had to brush it a million times and it was constantly tangly. And then the static! Ah! The static was the worst! I usually don't straighten my hair (because I think I look like an alien) but the other day my hair was soooo poufy, that it was the only solution I had.
Today I am thanking God for my curly locks. I just throw some spray in there when it's wet, scrunch it up, and diffuse it. I rarely brush it and there is no static. I always thought I wanted straight hair. In college I would often straighten it before I went out. By the time graduation rolled around, I had learned to embrace it. I just need to learn to take it because it can take on a life of its own. My motto, shake what ya got!
As many of you know, I am on February vacation. Let me tell you, it is wicked tempting to stay in my pajamas all day. That's pretty much what I did on Sunday. But yesterday I got dressed just for you, readers. I figured I needed to show you that I can dress myself even on days when no one sees me.
I am running out of ideas for 30 for 30. I want to wear my other clothes. They look so sad in my closet. I can even hear them saying, "Maureen, wear me! wear me! You're wearing those clothes again!" But I am sticking this 30 for 30 out. (Since it is February, it should be 28 for 28, but whateve). I'm done with the no shopping ban, since I will be giving up shopping for Lent which is one week away.
Did other, non-teachers have yesterday off? How was your President's Day? Omg, total side note, but I heard Elisabeth Hasselback and her family actually celebrate President's Day by singing the national anthem and dressing in red, white and blue. How funny is that?! I can totally see myself doing something similar with my future family. I love being patriotic.

Hey Friends, I knowI haven't blogged in a few days. This was my first full week of a school in about 6 weeks and it really wore me out. (I can already hear the moans and groans of all you non-teachers out there). But, none the less, I am back.
Yesterday, I wore this while running a million and one errands. Turns out one of my errands was a jackpot in hiding. Let me tell you the story. My bank was just bought out my a larger bank so naturally there are a million and one issues. I went down to try and have them solve my problems. While solving my banking dilemmas, the teller discovered a long lost savings account in my name that money in it!! I can't even describe the feeling. I image this is what winning the lottery is like. Since this money was a new discovery, I decided to to buy XBox 360 Kinect. (Such a great decision!)
Also, I have to admit, I did some shopping at the LOFT. Everything was on sale and I had a gift card. I rationed it out in my head by saying that if I give up shopping for Lent (which I plan on doing) that would mean 3 months without shopping. So I justified it by reminding myself that I am giving up shopping for Lent. I am still sticking to the remix. I hope you don't mind!
Sidenote--I have a lot of hemming to do over February vacation in a week!
