Black and Red

Hello again!

I know I have not posted in over two weeks, but things have been crazy. Not to make anyone sad or anything, but one of my dogs passed away, Paulie. We got him when he was about 6 or 8 months and had him for five years. He slept with me every night in my bed and was the laziest dog I have ever met. He loved to curl up in spots of sunshine and snooze away all afternoon.  I spent the whole day in tears and I will miss him terribly.

So I've been distracted lately and that's why I have been neglecting the blog.

 This outfit is actually from yesterday. I had to go to the school I am transferring to and meet with my adviser. I was up bright and early and got lots of things done in the morning.


It was nearly 80 degrees yesterday, so of course I wore a black wool sweater. Thanks to the short sleeves, though it really was not too bad. I am really excited that classes are almost over! I have one final on Saturday and then I am done and have the whole summer ahead of me.

Now I will update you a little on my healthy eating. Today is day 17 of no sugar, grains, legumes, and dairy. I still feel pretty good and lost a little weight. I am definitely cooking way more than I used to, which I surprisingly enjoy. 

And the violets are finally here! Yay!

Hope you have a good day!

Très Chic?

When I walked out in this outfit my mom said, "wow! you look French!". Hahahah my mom is so funny. Not everyone in France walks around in black on black, but I did feel a little chic. This outfit is actually from Sunday when I when antiquing with my friend. I haven't gotten around to posting because I have 2 exams this week. Well now I have one, my chem exam was yesterday. So I am trying to study for Biology, but there are a million other things I would rather be doing. Nothing productive, but it seems I am lacking motivation to study. I am really craving a white pizza though (stupid Pinterest) so maybe I will go eat and then be contented to do my schoolin'. Decisions, decisions.

This outfit kind of looks like a dress, but it's a swingy skirt and a top (I just realized you can see hair on it...but I don't really care, I have about a million animals).

It's also Valentine's Day today. Hmmm.

If you have been on here before, you may have noticed that I appear to be "single". You would be correct in thinking that. Why do we say single anyway? It just makes me want a burger from Wendy's....and if we call single people single,, why don't we call couples a double? It seems entirely logical to me.

Anyway, I don't have a boyfriend. I have not had one since spring of Sophomore year in high school, so that would be about 4 years. I don't really care. Sometimes it's a bit of a bummer, but not really. Relationships seem like a lot of work. I also have pretty high standards, so it's all good. I don't want to just toss my "qualifications" aside for any old guy (especially not old guys). I would say my biggest eliminator is height. Right away it weeds out about 80% of men.

I could go on, but I have a Biology exam to study for. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone :)
