what's the buzz

jeans, Macy's

Haitian Beads earrings

    More headless iPhone photos ... I liked the dash of yellow paired with the black and white pattern. It's fun to wear a big pair of earrings sometimes.

   There are 19 school days left! I am trying to keep up with grading so I don't have to deal with the usual avalanche of ungraded tests at the end of the quarter. 

   What else I've been up to (according to my phone camera roll):

    I went out to dinner on a Tuesday night with two of my good aikido friends. It felt like a luxury to go out to eat and hang out for a bit on a "school night." I got a to-go order of the restaurant's red velvet pancakes and enjoyed them for dessert for the next few days.

 
I've been keeping up with my practice of drawing each night and this is my latest finished work.

Indigo Rein jeans, Macy's

    I took two very casual items - cuffed jeans and a tank - and added a fancier item. I usually would have gone with black for the top, but I rather like the contrast with the pink. The kimono turned out to be essential on my second day of math training - the room I switched to was a lot colder than the one I sat in for day 1. So glad I decided against wearing shorts.
   The banding around the neck and sleeves and hi-lo cut make this kimono different from the two others I own. It will be too hot to wear this to work when school starts, but I'm looking forward to wearing it in a few months.
