Today I am sharing some of my scholarly wisdom…and by scholarly wisdom I mean some of the things that I learned in school last week. So we will start with the question of what does dramatic classic means?

If you are new here, I decided that I wanted to go back to school this year to learn how to become a stylist. Last week was my first week, so this week I am incorporating some of the things that I learned.

The focus was determining what our body types and fashion personalities were. Figuring out our own, and how to help people figure out theirs.

One of my biggest annoyances is when someone has you on speakerphone without telling you. I feel like it’s performing in front of people, and I would rather the ground open up and drag me straight to hell than perform in front of people.

I literally dropped classes in college that involved and type of oral presentations, especially solo ones.

Apparently, I have issues.

A Stay at Home Mom Capsule Wardrobe for Fall

It has been a while since I made one of these and I am way past due. Over the last 18 months, I guarantee that every single mom out there experienced being a stay at home mom at some point during those months. I will say that my stay at home mom wardrobe at the beginning of the pandemic looks a lot different than it does now.

But in the same breath, I will also say that it showed me how important it is to have truly comfortable items in your wardrobe that can be worn outside the house too.

I think what a lot of us struggled with was a) how to wear those comfortable clothes without looking like we just rolled out of bed, especially during such a high time of stress and anxiety, and b) and how to look put together with minimal effort because who the hell wants to spend a long time trying to make yourself look good.

I slept so poorly last night that I felt like a zombie all day. This is funny (or not so funny) because Tom has what I believe is sleep apnea so he should be the one sleeping terribly…which he does except his manifests in tossing and turning, flailing, snoring, choking, and talking which in turn keeps waking me up.

There was one time that I was reading to Merle in our bed and he was already asleep because he had to get up really early.

Anyway, he was snoring and exhaled with a little wheeze and choking sound then Merle looked at me with huge eyes and asked, “did he just die?” which sounds totally morbid, but he actually didn’t inhale again for 20 seconds (I counted), and that was accompanied a huge flail of every limb as his body panicked.
