self-photo challenge

In lieu of other bloggy-inspiration today, I'm linking up with The Paper Mama for a little Self-Photo Challenge.

 Although the guidelines don't require that the picture be from today...in the interest of keeping it real, mine is. So now you'll have something nice to compare my Fashion Week pictures to. As in, I don't actually 'dress up' (if those outfits are even 'dressing up' by your standards) every day. On days like today- rainy with flooding likely, muggy-ish, Monday-ish- well, sometimes I just don't care that much.


Hair in a messy braid, comfy shirt, skinny jeans, and boots. Actually, I'd been wearing my rain jacket, too (yes, indoors all day)...but thought I'd take it off for the picture. I'm fancy like that.

Please compare the me of today to the me of my fave semi-recent self-portrait (as a bridesmaid in Elizabeth's wedding).

Anyway. With the self-portrait challenge comes a few random questions...so let's go!

Currently:

Obsessing over…
Not a whole lot, really. Thinking about vacation, wishing I had a kid...ya know, the usual.
Working on…
Quite a few projects, since I'm actually at work. {on my lunch break, for the record!}
Thinking about…
How inconvenient it is that Google Reader is all jacked up today. And then feeling ashamed that this qualifies as a 'problem' in my life. Ha. Oh ye privileged American...
Anticipating…
Vacation, of COURSE!! And The Bachelor tonight. Let's be honest.
Listening to…
My Hillsong station on Pandora.
Eating/Drinking…
Just finished lunch, but today I've been snacking on dehydrated kiwi (could cross-reference this under 'obsessing over'). SO GOOD!
Wishing…
Please refer to 'Obsessing over'. Repeat hourly.
Well that was exciting. Unfortunately, my lunch hour's about up, so it's time to skedaddle (who says that anymore?) and do work-y things. 
Random thought from last night: The Walking Dead started back again after a 2-3 month hiatus. In the time since WD was last on, I've spent my TV time watching The Bachelor and other such light-hearted fare. That certainly did not prepare me for the drama of the un-dead I experienced last night. Yikes. Zombie gore drama versus girl drama? Both are special in their own magical ways.
Happy Monday!

  4. Dehydrated kiwi sounds so good. Never had it, but YUM! Also, loving the braid, so fab! And I told my students to "skedaddle" the other day at the end of class and they looked at me like I was from Mars. I also tell them not to doddle. Maybe I am from Mars :)
