Back from my walkabout...

I don't know why I haven't posted lately. Maybe because with the part time job I have, I can only wear black slacks and a blue top. Not very exciting. I've managed to go a few places, but not many. I am still looking for a regular job that fits me, and I started online college. I've decided to get my psychology and counseling degree, finally! I've been a volunteer counselor for about 13 years now and decided to make it official. Here are a few of the more interesting outfits I've managed between the black and blue.

My skirt was a gift from the lovely Peanut of Miss Ruth's Timb Bomb

I wore this for the yearly Sunday service they do in old German for Heritage Days.
I decided to wear a tux for the Adult Prom this year.  It's a good thing my husband loves me!

One good thing about where I'm working now is I get first choice of all the discounts first. This cardinal sweater was perfect with my beloved Mode Merr skirt.

We had a tiny little Christmas tree this year, to be planted outside now.

Denise and I doing Karaoke and butchering "Respect" by Aretha Franklin.
My apologies to Aretha!
This year's resolution is to BLOG regularly.

PS. I made the Dean's list!!!

Do Something!

I have always made excuses why I didn't pursue college. I'm done making excuses. I don't know if this is where I am going to attend, but I am starting the process of beginning my college career. Here is the first one that I have visited. Of course after the sweet little girl helped me get course information and get signed up for aid and grants, I told her I needed her picture for my Blog.

This is Shakiyya from Phoenix University. Hi Shakiyya!

She helped me take my first step in moving ahead.

Since this is a bold move for me, I wore a bold blouse. This is one of my $1 finds at Community Aid.

I paired it with my leopard print headband.

Sorry, it is a little dark.
Unfortunately, I will still have to get another job, but I am not going to let that stop me. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time.
