I'm in a somewhat abnormally good mood? I think it could be because I'm going to Vegas tomorrow after I'm done working because my favorite band (Muse) are in Vegas on the 9th (rescheduled date) and my BFF and I are going to go down there and cause trouble.

Except not really.

The last time I was in Vegas was in September after my other BFF Paige and I went to see Taylor Swift in SLC. That was a lot of fun. But anyway, the last time I was there I wore my Porn Kills Love shirt and everyone was giving me snide looks. I wasn't worried about getting punched, but think about it people.

Literal innocent Mormon girl strutting around the place that's nicknamed Sin City in a shirt bashing porn?

I was sort of asking for it.

lolz.

But anyway, here I am, going to Vegas again tomorrow. I think that'll be a good time. I can't imagine it wouldn't be but you honestly don't know.

And have a funny. I saw this and it got a good laugh out of me (which partially adds to my good mood most likely) so I thought I'd share it.

Ghost Busters.

Get it?

Profesh

Today was good for a Wednesday. Nothing huge, nothing small. Okay, my friend and I made a spontaneous trip down to SLC and we walked around the U.

I'll re-say that.

We walked around the U.

The rival school.

The. U.

Yeah.

But it wasn't awful and I didn't hate it. Plus I was looking really cool and professional. I wasn't there for a specific reason like an event or something, but I was also doing something specific where I feel like I should "class up" a little bit, so I did. And it didn't go over badly.

And me and my friend ate pizza afterwards, and I'm happy to be able to eat pizza again.

Progress, people. Progress.

I don't really like what I wore too much, but it wasn't so awful and I feel like I should be wearing outfits like this all the time. Teacher-wise. I felt like I looked like a lawyer. Yikes. I guess it was ironic because I happened to be by the law building. Maybe I blended in. Except the law building was not my end point because uh.. no.

So that was something.

Anyway, I think I'm going to take a page from my own playbook and dress more professionally.

My entire outfit is from ModCloth.

I kept my cardigan on most of the time, honestly. It's freaking cold and all weird weather-y and snowy and I honestly should have worn pants and boots, not a skirt and flats. But who cares. YOLO $w@g. I'm not really one to care too much about what I wear, but I think I'm going to work on that this year as well. I'm still saving my money! So I'm just wearing what I already have. Never a bad thing. I have enough clothes to last me a lifetime now.

180 from how things used to be.

Bless up.

I like the idea of a new year. I don't make resolutions because I never stick to them, nor do I say that incoming year will be the best year ever simply because every single time I say that, it's always the worst year of my life.

And 2015 was pretty gosh darn good. So much good, you guys!

I loved 2015. Sorry if y'all had a bad year but mine was the best.

My classes don't start up again until the 11th but I went back to work on the 4th/yesterday so I thought I'd blog about what I wore. Literally nothing too major.

So yeah. Nothing too hoppin' or anything of the like. It hasn't been "that" cold lately but I'm on snow watch so I've dug up all my boots and long skirts and whatnot. I love winter, though. It's my favorite season. The majority of the clothes I wear year long are basically long sleeved. I'll wear summer clothes if I have to, but not generally.

Shirt: Charlotte Russe.

Skirt: ModCloth.

Tights: Target.

Boots: ModCloth.

Necklace: ModCloth.

Ring: Alex and Ani.

Earrings: ModCloth.

Bracelet: Alex and Ani.

I think I have a problem with my addiction to Bath & Body Works. It's a problem now. I'm admitting it right here right now. I bought a pretty decent sized bin at Walmart the other week so I could fill it with all of my products, and it's pretty much filled to the brim. That's before my order came in yesterday and before my other one comes in on Thursday, I believe.

So that's an issue.

Maybe I'll blog my collection some time. That would make for an interesting post. Or posts.

Hmm. I could make it a series. A post for lotion, a post for creams, a post for fragrance mists, etc.

I'm picking up what I'm putting down.

Also I'm thinking about this new/sort of not really new idea or plan that I really want to do that's geared toward my career path. I kind of want to change it completely. I love teaching kids and I love being a teacher and all that it entails, don't get me wrong. I've grown up in the home of teachers so it's all sort of rubbed off on me. But I have this super crazy idea that I actually kind of like. I'm keeping this idea or whatever it is to myself at the moment until I get really serious about it and then I might tell people about it, but this is personal for now. And anyway, I really like how it sounds in my head. I've been sitting on this for awhile, and I've talked to people about it and it's something that isn't impossible for me to go for. I won't have to change my major or take any classes that are geared to this idea, and on top of that, I have the grades for it. I've gotten a 3.5 or higher GPA every quarter.

Would it require a lot of money and time?

Yes.

But I'm willing to sacrifice that. I'm so willing to put myself on an extreme budget and get all the money I can and save it. I want to follow that plan. No more spending on things unless I really need it. From here on out, no more shopping for clothes and perfumes. I already have more than enough. I don't have shirts and socks with holes in them. I'm not homeless anymore. If I stop buying those things and only pay bills, buy food, and spend money for my health requirements, I'll still hardly have money, but it'll be a start. I'll have more than I usually have. This is a goal I want to really work hard for. And if I'm being honest, I'm sort of excited about it?

I mean, the worst case scenario is that I don't end up going through with this idea and I'll have more money. So that doesn't really even seem that bad. We'll see where this all takes me!

Anyway, that's all for me for now. I hope everyone had a great holiday season.
