Internet and me

DSCF5865

Happy Friday, bloggy buddies. Today, I am trying to be extra productive. First, by showering and changing from my lounge-y sleepwear to lounge-y home office wear. Also, I will be disconnecting my internet. There is just too much distracting me right now, and I justify my internet connection by saying, "What I have to look something up?" I definitely don't need to do that today, though, as I am mostly editing. So wish me luck (and I'll try to respond to comment/comment on your blogs after 10 hours. I don't work that whole time, I take breaks!)
Today, I was inspired by both Anne's ability to rock the belt over cardigans, and the grey-blue colors of Style Underdog's outfit yesterday. While I lack her awesome blue suede shoes, this slip dress from the late 90s that my old roommate (the bride from the wedding Anne and I attended in August) gave me in college is a similar color. I usually wear it at the beach/in summers, but it's also pretty good for working from home.

This pretty much sums up how I've been feeling this semester

And since this blog is often as much about pets, lifestyles, politics, and friendship (as it is about style), I present you Mr. Sad Pants Buster, post-op:

Actually, he's pretty peppy for someone who had surgery yesterday. At first, he went nuts with that Elizabethan collar on- bumping into things and falling like a fainting goat. But now he's used it, eating and drinking (out of a gigantic bowl). He somehow managed to wiggle his way out of it around 11:30 last night, but we tightened just a bit, and he seems to have accepted it as inevitable. Also, the boy loves his pain medicine.
Have a lovely weekend, Style Nation!
