Day 237

It's a good thing my clothes are so reflective while I'm taking a blog picture... this way you won't run me over with your mouse.

There will likely be a lot of "work out" clothes in the next few months. I would apologize, but I'm not sorry. One of my jobs is on hiatus for the summer, one of them is online instruction, and the other is working out... hence, the work out clothes and the not needing to dress professionally, or even respectably.

Day 236

Here's what my husband had to say about this shirt dress:

"You look like a green screen. When I look at you, all I want to do is drop you into After Effects and key you out..."

I don't know what that means... but what I'd really like is for him to drop me into a mall and not care about the after effects.

Day 235

Maybe I could quit my job and become an Olsen twin... that's an acceptable profession to aspire to, right?

Day 234

  Okay, so here is today's outfit, but more importantly...

            

Day 233

Sunday Brunch, a day with my family, and I promise you, my face is not as red as it appears to be in this picture...

Day 232

I wore this to the casino...
Crab legs and slot machines.
That happened.

Day 231

Five Fact Friday

1. I have just one more day of work before summer officially begins.
2. I also have horrible posture in this photo.
3. I trust that you won't judge me for that.
4. My parents are flying in to visit and see our new house tomorrow.
5. You've got something in your teeth. Might I suggest you take a peek at a mirror.

Day 230

I swear after this week, I'll dedicate more than a minute a day to this, but I'm currently out of minutes for this day...

Giddy-up, life.

Day 229

S l o w e s t  w e e k  e v e r...

Day 228

It was 95 degrees today, I needed to dress accordingly. And by accordingly, I mean for un-airconditioned elementary schools.

Day 227

Just a Monday morning chat with my dog...

Day 226

Farmer's Market Day.

I rit dyed these jeans in March along with some of the other things you've already seen... I had trouble finding something to coordinate with the light blue, but went with a semi-boring, not even a little bit flattering, white.  Maybe this summer I'll branch out with these jeans and try more color.

Day 225

The husband was not here to take today's picture, and this self timer situation came out a little bit dark. Initially, I thought I could lighten it up in photoshop, but we all know how not even a little bit good I am with that. At least I'm consistent.

He may have been unable to help with picture and the photoshop, but his T-shirt was helpful in contributing to outfit 225...

Day 224

Five Fact Friday

1. That's a carbon monoxide detector.
2. I may have decided this is the new picture spot.
3. My hair is in my face. That's awkward.
4. I did not realize that my shirt coordinated with the "Tom's" tag on the back of my shoe until now. That's equally awkward.
5. I am so glad this week is over.

Day 223

5 Steps to Blog Picture #223

1. Take this once khaki skirt out of the good will box (the one you put there because you didn't like how it fit).
2. Rit dye it Petal Pink and pretend that dyeing it a new color will make it a more likeable fit.
3. Also, take this white shirt out of the good will box and pretend that it wasn't permanently stained with red paint a year ago by tucking it in to your newly dyed skirt so it will remain unseen... (Seriously, who wears white when painting with preschoolers? A younger, far less logical me. That's who.)
4. Stand awkwardly for a blog picture.
5. Go to work with preschoolers (again). Fingers crossed.

Day 222

Okay, this outfit is not my best work, but there are bigger issues than that right now...

Dear anyone who owns, or has ever owned Skechers Shape Ups... First of all, do you own a mirror? Have you seen yourself in them?

Second of all, I told you so... and instead of Skechers paying you a settlement, I think you should pay me for being so stupid. Or maybe, save it. Put it in a safe place, and use it for all the back and knee problems you're going to have. Shoes do not a Kim Kardashian butt make. Besides, she's just pretend... like the Gingerbread Man. Now, run run as fast as you can... go throw them in the garbage and show the world you still have some common sense.

Day 221

I'm too tired for words today. Also, my patience level is currently at -77. If you can't say anything nice...........


Ten days until Memorial Day Weekend, the official start of summer, and hopefully healthier patience levels that make it safer for me to be around people. 


The best way to deal with stupid people is S'mores. It's science. Adam, we're going to need a fire pit. Tomorrow.

Day 220

I took today's picture this morning before work. At that time, Nugget decided no one needed to see my shoes. They were just basic nude flats... cool?

Now, Shhh.... The Bachelorette is on.

Day 219

Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there... particularly to mine because I love her, and because I would bet money on the fact that she could also go an entire year without wearing the same outfit twice... I've seen her closet.

Fact: It's genetic.

Day 218

Bachelorette Party... details shall remain undisclosed.

Except this one: It was epic.

Happy Bachelorette, K-Kray!



(Thank you for your photography skills, Alyssa ...and Carolyn, you're welcome.)

Day 217

If you were to ask me, "How do you really feel about that long flowy mustard colored dress you're wearing, Cassie?"

I'd likely respond with... "It's a little too flowy, and I think the length is weird on me because I'm too short.  I have to wear it with a jacket, and added this scarf, because I don't like how the top looks."

And if you weren't planning to ask... well, I'm sorry I wasted your time. However, in my defense, you came to the blog, so you must have had some wonderings... Stop lying to yourself and just admit that you're obsessed with me. (I'm kidding, obviously.)

Day 216

I was not a morning person this morning...  

There were several attempts in trying on clothing before this outfit came to be, and I was not even a little bit thrilled about it. The good news is summer is just a little over 2 weeks away, and I no longer have to care about wearing real people clothes... swimsuits and workout apparel, people.  Get excited. Actually, my apologies in advance... my summer wardrobe is pretty boring, but who knows, maybe this whole blog thing will inspire me to dress up a little more often. Though, do people even read blogs in the summer? Let's go shopping!

Day 215

I'm at a conference for the rest of the week, which is an excuse for me to wear jeans to work for the next 3 days. One might also say it's an excuse for a two sentence blog post.

Day 214

I'm not entirely sure why I decided to a) dress like a farmer or b) wear flannel on this, the 8th day of May...

It was not cold out.

I can, however, tell you why I decided not to do my hair today...  are you ready for this?

Utter laziness. You're welcome.

Day 213

Today I decided to dress like a rainy, cold, and cloudy day because that's exactly what it was. I'm not entirely sure I realized I was dressing like a rainy, cold, and cloudy day when I got dressed this morning, but look at me, I'm like a little storm cloud.

Here's another fascinating thing that happened today:

I put gas in my car, then proceeded to drive away with my wallet on the roof. Thankfully, I only drove to the Starbucks across the street, so I was able to retrace my steps in the pouring rain multiple times before finding it in the gutter on the side of the road approximately twenty minutes later. Let this be a lesson to you... when talking on the phone to your friend Molly about the chaos that is your life whilst pumping gas, pay attention to what the hell you're doing. Make sure you know where your wallet is before you drive away and attempt to buy two grande non-fat vanilla lattes (one for you, and one for your friend Molly).

And... To the guy who saw me wandering around aimlessly in the pouring rain who also went to the gas station and then to Starbucks, thanks for your help. Your idea to check the garbages at the gas station, assuming that someone took the cash and tossed my wallet, made me feel both anxious and hopeful. Thanks for briefly joining me in my rainy search, I hope you enjoyed your coffee.

Day 212

House projects and a Home Depot trip.

I'm pretty sure that's what Sunday's are made of when you have a new house...

If it weren't for that necessary trip to Home Depot, it would have been a whole different kind of Sunday.  Likely one that involved sweatpants.  But, I put on [ripped] jeans like a real grown up because I am a motivated adult. A motivated adult who threw on a hat because she was too lazy to wear make up, or wash, let alone brush her hair. Also, I pulled that t-shirt out of the hamper.

Day 211

This is my friend Jenni, and that's me wearing another outfit because it's the socially acceptable thing to do when attending a BBQ.
Also, this is me shooting a bow and arrow for the first time in wedges. 

Happy Cinco de Mayo. Happy Kentucky Derby. Happy Hunger Games.  

Day 210

Five Fact Friday

1. It's my brother's birthday today. Happy Birthday, Chris-y!
2. I did not work today.
3. I took a personal day (for personal reasons, obviously...)
4. My sweater vest is rit dyed, it used to be grey.
5. This picture was taken with the self timer on my camera. I was not ready for it to be taken as I typically try not to pose with a scowl on my face, but have chosen to use it anyway because... well, the rest of them looked like this..

          (See Below)

A little blown out, and a lot blurry... not to mention, apparently 10 seconds is not enough time for me to get myself together after pushing the button and walking 4 feet to pose.

Day 209

And finally, Outfit #7.

This concludes, "I lost my USB for one whole week, so I had to upload a week's worth of pictures and post date my blog posts to prove I still took pictures even when I couldn't upload them."

What? My face is cropped?  That's weird...

And also, don't think I didn't notice my weird cropping mistake there on the left. Photoshop and I are not friends, you all remember Day 136, don't you?

Day 208

Outfit #6

This is why I typically take pictures before 7am... as opposed to 10:30pm.

You got a little "life" on your face there.

Day 207

Outfit #5...

Cassie, were you planning on sailing today?

Stop it.
