If You're Going to San Francisco...

...Be sure to leave your snow boots behind. My dad is in San Francisco this week on business. This was the trip I was supposed to join him on next weekend, but he wasn't able to stay through the weekend soo that didn't quite work out. He has, however, been kind enough to send me these lovely pictures of his hot as hell rental car and the gorgeous California coast.



Of course I love snow, but I'd SO rather be there instead of still having classes in inches upon inches of snow mixed with more wind than any human could prefer. (This picture was taken prior to round 2 of the snow which has officially made all roads hell and prevented tonight's workout from happening, which clearly is the one thing about snow that I DON'T like.)


Today I did the little French Braid trick to get my bangs out of the way, because I had to put it up last night right after showering after the gym to run to a review session, so it was all sorts of crazy. I always get so excited when these braids turn out well, because more often than not my hair doesn't cooperate.



I ended up skipping History of Rock as planned, which actually kind of depresses me, because I always seem to miss the good stuff. I think today was Led Zeppelin day... but I guess that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to prevent frostbite! (Yes, I'm being dramatic, it's not that bad, just a bit slippery... too slippery for night class!)


I don't care WHAT the weather is on Thursday, I don't even care if we're in the middle of an apocalypse, because guess what? I do believe it is ACDC, AEROSMITH, HEART, KISS, POISON, MOTLEY CRUE, GUNS N ROSES, etc etc etc DAY!!!! Ladies and Gentlemen... let me clarify, I have been waiting THREE SEMESTERS OF THIS CLASS to get to this day!!!! All my guilty music pleasures unite in an educational hour and a half of goodness! I can only imagine I'm going to be on my knees at the end of class begging Andy to keep lecturing. You can probably expect all sorts of excitement and maybe even good quotes from that class.

(I also finally put up the "Better Than Sex Cake" recipe at Wonderland Kitchen!)

Snow Surprise!

I was of course delighted at the flurries yesterday, but never dreamed they'd turn into a few inches of snow for me to wake up to! I did, however, wake up to the "nails on a chalkboard" sound of the stairs outside my window being scraped off, and that incessant beeping noise trucks make as they cleared our parking lot for what seemed like hours. Still, I love the white blanketed ground!

Today's outfit was kind of just thrown together on account of me desperately needing to do laundry and not really having had time for it with all sorts of meetings and homeworks and classes and blah blah blah. I'll be glad when friday comes, even if I still have a test and a quiz and probably a million homeworks next week.

All bundled up to brave the wind storm!

Eyelet skirt detail- right before I realized I was in desperate need of a lint roller.

Outfit

Leggings, high waisted eyelet skirt (yeah I know it's even a little high for a high waisted skirt, but my boobs make things difficult and it generally works best this way trying to pass it off as a dress), and pocket v-neck, ALL OLD NAVY. Scarf- American Eagle, Coat- Worthington. And as far as I can guess the belt probably came there too. As for the cross necklace, you've probably noticed I've been wearing it with every outfit lately... I just re-discovered my cross collection and still need to polish a few of the other ones. The glass bead necklace is the one Betsy brought me from Italy. My hair was doing the super super flat thing, but what can you do?

Oh, and did I mention that I'm 95% sure I'm going to San Francisco on Valentine's weekend!? I was trying to get up to visit my dad in Chicago, but he's all booked up with traveling, so he decided to cash in some frequent flyer miles to fly me out on his trip with him since his weekend was mostly free. I'm hoping to do some of the touristy stuff I didn't get to do the first time there (GOLDEN GATE, perhaps a freezing cold trolley ride!), but either way I'm SO EXCITED!!!
