Stylish Blogger Award

Being new to the world, I get super excited to know that people read this blog. I started it just to keep track of my outfits. I was super excited minuteobsessions awarded me this Stylish Blogger Award. And here it is...



Woo hoo! My first big sign that people read this. However, since I posted, there are some rules to this award. 

1. Share 7 things about myself. 
2. Pass the award on to more fabulous bloggers. 

Here are 7 kinda interesting things about me: 

1. I change my nail color every 2 or 3 days. (And I have my nail polish color coordinated in drawers). 
2. I went to an all-girls Catholic high school. For that reason, I own waaaay too many cardigans with front pockets. I blame this totally on my high school uniform. 
3. Surpringly, I hated dresses when I was younger. I was the biggest tomboy and didn't fall in love with dresses and skirts until high school. 
4. Growing up, I played softbal year round. I was a third baseman. (Hot at the corner baby!) I also totally miss team sports. 
5. I started out college as a biomedical engineering major. After that, I took as many classes as I could that would allow me to be on College Jeopardy. After, that did not pan out, I switched to Spanish. Then I studied abroad in Spain and when I came back I decided I didn't want to major in Spanish. I ended up with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies. Only to get my master's degree in Elementary Education. Now I might even take more classes. Eek! 
6. I hate movies. I can't sit through them. I don't know actor and actresses. However, I read Perez every day.
7. The Cosby Show still makes me laugh every time I watch it. 

I pass the Stylish Blog Award on to you:

Delightfully Tacky

It's Snow Perfect

When I woke up yesterday morning, it was -4 degrees out. Eek! It was the first day that I wore real pants. (Hence the reason why I did not take a picture). I hate pants. I felt awkward and uncomfortable all day. But I was warm as could be.

Since it was a warm 11 degrees out today, it was back to wearing dresses. I opted for a sweater dress. I also wanted to try out my new colored tights. All day I thought these tights were more of a wine color but at lunchtime, another teacher pointed out that they match my hot pink water bottle. (I'm not a "pink" girl). I was shocked that I was wearing hot pink tights. Oh well, I survived another day. 

What are your thoughts on the tights, pink or wine?

Sisters on the Slopes

Yesterday was the perfect ski day despite the below zeros temps. My sorority sister and I dressed warm, put in our hand warmers and hit the slopes. The cold scared away most of the crowds. We got a banging parking spot. The best part? NO LIFT LINES alllll day. We ended up skiing a million runs. There were blue bird skies and fresh powder. There was still powder by the end of the day! Amazing, simply amazing.

Tracy was very nervous to go skiing with me. However, she improved soooo much by the end of the day. I give her credit for every time she fell down, she got right back up and she was smiling. I would def go skiing with her again.

The only down side was that the bar didn't have Dr. McGuillicuddy's to help our ailing bodies. We stopped at Woodstock Inn for some great food and some growlers on the way home. Perfect way to end the day.

Side note,  my knees have been wicked sore after skiing the past few times I have done. Do you know any methods to strengthen my knee??

Baby It's Cold Outside

Today is another snow. Yes, you read that correctly, another day off from school. This means we will probably be going to school until the end of June. Hmph. I know, I sound like a brat right now. But I do enjoy going to school. We haven't had a full week since we got back from winter break. I want to be back into a rhythm.

School got called off last night. This is what I woke up to this morning:

The good news, skiing will be awesome tomorrow. I will be shredding mad pow pow with my sorority sister, Tracy. I can't wait. Tracy is a novice and is nervous but I have assured her that she is in good hands.

Since I was not expecting a snow day, I brought nothing home to plan for the coming week. That's a blessing and a curse. I have a lot that I should be doing, but it is stuck in my classroom. Instead, I made cookies. I made no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies from my friend at eat.live.run. They are still in the fridge, so I will let you know how they came out.

Updated School Uniform

Today I feel like I'm wearing an updated version of my high school uniform. While during the warm months, we had to wear our plaid skirts, once winter came, we were allowed to make the switch to khakis. I still hated pants, so I usually rocked the skirt all year.

My outfit today totally reminded me of what I might have looked like in high school if I went to school with boys. I hate to ruin the fantasy of Catholic school girls, but we were lucky if we washed our hair on a regular basis. (This may have been an over share).

I was feeling the high school vibe so I even wore a bow in my hair today! Such a co-ed move!

The Big Bang Theory

Introducing...BANGS!!! I woke up the other morning wanting bangs. Maybe wanting is the wrong word, I needed bangs. By the end of the weekend, I could barely keep myself away from the scissors. Yesterday when I got back from skiing, I called my hair dresser to schedule an appointment to get bangs. Well by the time she called me back, a few hours later, I had already made the first cut. Yep, you heard that correct, I cut my own bangs. I knew what I wanted and I don't think they turned out half bad. My hair dresser thinks I'm crazy, but I went to high school with her, so she's used to it by now.

So, what do you think? Like the new fringe? Have you ever tried to cut your own hair?

You're such an Indian Head

Such a good girls weekend! We stayed at Indian Head in Lincoln, NH. It's a fun place to stay. It's very New Hampshire-y and while there is no more man in the mountain, there is the indian head. (Picture below).

We decided to ski only one day due to the fact that it was -1 degree at the base of the mountain today. It was chilly yesterday but we still managed to shred some pow pow. The visibility at the top of the mountain was rough. We could barely see the chair in front of us! I finally got a chance to wear my ski sweater that I borrowed from my dad. It was a big hit.

Patty Stanger (from Millionaire Matchmaker) said that a ski place is the top spot to meet single men. I would like to report that I did not find any single young men. I guess I will have to keep searching and keep skiing another week.

The sad news of the night was that our beloved New England Patriots lost.
