Tell me...when was the last time YOU heard of a parka dress?
You know you want one.

Suggestions, please...
I got this fantastic pair of forest green tights at Gap for - check it - $1.18. Yeah. Best Gap deal ever, minus my favorite dress that cost me $13.99. My dilemma?
I'm not sure what to wear them with.
Suggestions, please?
Oh, and I'm sorry to have neglected to mention any food-related things here recently. I haven't been cooking at all. Instead, I eat cafeteria food. Or in rare cases like this morning, I have been lazy enough to eat a bowl of uncooked oatmeal sans any sort of topping. I promise to mend the error of my ways when it isn't so hot.

Fun at Work
Ok, so I know I'm supposed to be getting a real job and all, but honestly, babysitting is kinda fun. I mean, how often do YOU get to have someone do your hair, dress you up in a fancy evening gown made out of a large green blanket, and pretend that you're a movie star for 45 minutes at a time? I even had a photographer.
He was 4.
But still.
I felt so pampered.
Even if my hair was held in place by marker-covered popsicle sticks.

Stacy and Clinton will probably hate me, but...
I was wearing a dress earlier today, but seeing as it was cold and rainy, I wanted to be cozier. Thus, I put on my Man Day shirt and have since been enjoying the lovely comfort of oversized flannel...
(For the record, Man Day was an apartment holiday this past year involving the aforementioned shirt, eating food, and hanging out with some of our manly friends.)

Everything
Today I'm presenting you with a smorgasbord of things. Maybe you'll find it boring, but I think it's all interesting.
The Sartorialist became one of my favorite blogs to read (slash look at) since my apartment buddy Michelle made me aware of it several months ago. I've never been the most fashionable person in the world, but I think the people in the pictures he takes always look so in style. I don't always like what they're wearing, but at the very least they're all extraordinarily chic. Today he posted my favorite picture yet, and so I'm going to put it here so you can appreciate it too.
I'm also going to give you a few more examples of the fantastic-ness just so your eyes can feast on things that are aesthetically pleasing.
("Aesthetic" has been my word of the day. I've used it about four times already in conversation.)
[The Sartorialist]
Secondly, here is another aesthetically pleasing thing.
LOOK. AT. THIS. CAKE.
[souce]
Thaaaaaaaat's it.
Appreciate its glory.
Revel in its presumed deliciousness.
Anticipate the day when it will be on my counter ready to eat...because it certainly will be.
Thirdly, the Unnamed Denominationalists are here again, which essentially means that it feels like all of Gordon came back for the week, except that everyone has aged thirty years and is wearing what could only be categorized as "mom clothes." (Sorry, Mom. For the record, your clothes don't look like that.) Problems with the Unnamed Denominationalists being here include ZERO PARKING on campus during the day, long lines for food, and odd worship music. Odd is not an understatement; we're talking piano, two saxophones, hand percussion, and lyrics along the same lines as the "Jesus is my Friend" video.
Actually, I think the video is a pretty good overall representation of the Unnamed Denominationalists. Intriguing.
Fourthly, I FINALLY turned in all the paperwork involved with student teaching today, which means that I can get a teaching license! Woo! I will be an official music teacher now. Scary thought, eh? I could be teaching your children how to sing do.
And re.
And mi.
And so on and so forth.
"DOOOOOOOO, a deer, a feeeeemale deeeeeer...." Except not like that at all. No one learns to sing that well that fast.
Fifthly, I've bought some new clothes recently. Would it be a good idea (and/or not vain idea) to do an outfit post sometime? Opinions, please!
Finally, I need a good book to read. Any suggestions?

LA FIN.
WHOOOOOOA Blogger died yesterday. Not cool. Mostly because it took with it all the most recent posts from all the blogs I read via Google Reader (that thing is the bomb, you know...) and has been slowly replacing them all day today. Thus, every time I check Google Reader - a pretty frequent occurrence - I am misled to believe that I have a whole bunch of new things to read, and really, I have none. How am I supposed to keep up on the blogging world?!?
[Overreacting a bit there, don't you think? Oh well. Life must go on.]
So I'm done with student teaching now. Done DONE DONE! The elementary kids are so cute. One girl gave me a super cool homemade card and hugged me a total of four times.
The rest of them signed a big card, and a lot of them wrote funny things...
(Names have been removed to preserve anonymity. You know. Because the school might come and assassinate me.)
I felt so loved.
After school, I went to the mall with The Apartmentmates to celebrate and get some new summer clothes. I decided that having had all my current clothes for several years, it's probably time to update and upgrade the wardrobe. I got a skirt, a hat, a shirt, a dress, and a necklace or two.
Here is my shameless plug for my new favorite store. I used to think that Forever 21 was totally overwhelming, but I recently discovered that it's more like a slightly-more-organized T.J. Maxx or Marshalls or something. In short, if you have the time to go digging, you'll probably end up in the dressing room with a few rounds ("No more than six, PLEASE!") of articles of clothing to try on. As stated above: new. favorite. store. Moral: go shop there, and if you're willing to sift, it'll be well worth the time, provided you want vintage-y clothes.
Now I'm sitting here on my bed with my bowl of dip and a bag of carrots...
...feeling (almost) awfully footloose and fancy free, wearing a lacy dress, and blogging in between bouts of playing(?) clarinet...
...amidst the disaster zone that I currently call my room.
By this time next week, it'll all have to be packed up. But for right now, I'm going to enjoy the freedom of no more paperwork while I block out the fact that I'm going to miss those little buggers.

Project!
While searching for Easter dress ideas for when I'm rich again, I came across this!
What an excellent sewing project! It looks amazingly easy too. I've never been able to find a good wrap dress because they're always either a million dollars or they're made out of jersey fabric which generally looks horrible on me. It clings to all the wrong places and avoids all the right ones. I've decided. Once I'm rich again, I'm buying this.
