A Cold Sun

We finally had some sun today! That meant I could go outside to take some pictures, even though it was very cold! :) My 'running errands' attire seems to consist of skinny jeans, blazer, and a scarf-is there an easier outfit to throw on than that? I have a bunch of errands to do this afternoon, but thought I would blog first so I could make sure to get that checked off the list!

I wish I could have taken pictures a couple of days ago after I had my makeup consultation at Macy's-I tried out some clinique products, which was a terrible idea because now I want to buy them and there is no way I can afford expensive makeup! haha. Oh well, it was fun playing with it and I really liked all the of the things the woman tried on me! Especially the foundation-it actually gave me color and I didn't look like I was pale as a ghost like I usually do.

I've worked nights the past week and I have one more late night tonight that someone asked me to work. I don't really like it because I am alone all day long while Sean is at work and then just when he is about to get home I have to go into work! But I have this weekend off, so we'll get to spend some time together then :)

I also just found out that I get to meet with my beautiful friend Sarah today for a little while-I wish all of my friends lived closer so I could see them more often-I feel like I lose touch with so many of them because of my communication skills :P or lack therof.

Hope you have a sunny day lovelies!
God Bless,
KJA

The Skies Have Opened Up

It was so wet outside that I decided to just take pictures indoors today. I have to work tonight until close, but until then it's cuddle time in my softest turtleneck and scarf. It's so dreary and windy outside! I wish my hubby was home to cuddle with me on days like this.

Yesterday, after looking at the schedule, I discovered that I worked the longest shift of anyone in the whole store yesterday. I was there nearly nine hours! Today I'm going in an hour early because the girls who work the makeup at Macy's like to give free consultations to new employees! So I get to go have my makeup done :D I'm pretty excited-who doesn't love a free makeover? Now if only I could afford to actually buy Clinique products.....haha, oh well!

God Bless :)

I Kinda Love My Photographer...

My hubby took my pictures today. He's kind of fantastic for a lot of reasons. Even though it WAS man's weekend this weekend...I still love him :) haha!
I basically just wore this to Walmart and the grocery store. Sean and I went to buy some steaks that were wrapped in bacon that were on sale-2 for 4 dollars!! WOOHOO I know, we're big spenders huh? But we usually only buy hamburger, so a splurge on a nicer supper is such a treat!

Tomorrow I work the longest shift yet since I started my job, so wish me luck! It's been ok so far, but I get so jealous when I see all of the daycare's out for their field trips with the kids-that's what I want to be doing! I can't wait until I don't have to work retail anymore...I honestly hope that I never have to work this kind of a job again, but I'm very grateful to have a job at all right now. And it's nothing against Macy's, I just don't think I really enjoy this type of work. Although, I'm sure lots of people feel that way about their jobs!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I will be praying for a blessed week ahead for you all :)

This is What Happens During Man's Weekend

I get locked up in my room while the boys play games and pig out on cheesy puffs (or 'poofs' as the guys call them...).
I thought I'd experiment with some of the night settings on my camera during my time of solitude :)

I didn't take normal outfit photos today because I worked a huge shift, but basically I just wore another black outfit, shocking I know! It's almost 10 oclock and I still haven't eaten supper. Well, technically I had some pistachios when I got home from work, but I'm not sure that counts.

I will try to convince Sean to go somewhere fun for pics tomorrow, hopefully it will be a nice day, although I believe the weather is changing to cold again! Oh SD, how fickle you are.

Love you lovelies! Happy Saturday night :)

It's Friday, Friday!

Sorry for the series of short posts lately! I've just been working and such. I work tonight as well, which means another black ensemble.
Are you all having wonderful sun like we are here? It's quite glorious and I hope it stays. Even though I will be spending my sun filled days inside Macy's :) I'm sure some of you feel the same way about your jobs too!

Have a happy Friday!

A Drive

Just a quick post before I drive the hour to campus today for a meeting about my residency program. I have a meeting, some errands to run, and at least one friend to see while I'm there :)
This is the comfiest outfit I could muster for the drive and I'm hoping it's still professional enough for the meeting. I took these pictures early before I fixed my hair...so mom, don't worry :) I didn't wear it out of the house like this ;) haha!

God Bless your Wednesday!
