I hope that everyone at StyleNation had a beautiful and fun Xmas (and if you didn't celebrate it- Happy Festivus). I had a great Xmas eve/Xmas, but I have to admit that since I didn't travel, I worked on both days. And I worked a lot yesterday. This East Coast blizzard has made me feel better about the fact I didn't travel to see my folks in Atlanta because in likelihood, my flight would probably have been canceled. A colleague of mine who visited family in Chicago was supposed to fly out yesterday, and the earliest she can fly out is Thursday. This would have been unfortunate because my mountain of work to requires many hours logged in daily to chip away at it. I don't think I LOVE to work, the way some of my very intellectually minded buddies from graduate school operate. I have a lot of other interests in addition to my academic pursuits. But I think I was trained a little too well to put my nerd tasks high on my priorities..
Our street this morning
Anyway, I was really hoping to be able to actively participate in the
No Repeats challenge during winter break, but I may be more intermittent than I hoped. But I do hope to be able to post intermittently. I apologize in advance if my commenting dies down a bit, as I'm using a
Leechblock to my browser to limit my use of fun sites (including wordpress, blogger, tumblr, NYTimes, Facebook, etc.) to my key work hours. Self-discipline- I haven't got it.
Here's an outfit from last week that I put on, and then took off once I realized that 39 degrees and sunny wasn't as warm as I'd hoped! The jacket was a swap item from
jesse.anne.o. It's warmer than it looks but not warm enough for the weather lately.
Happy post blizzard/post-Christmas to everyone!
