Last Friday I was forcefully terminated from my job.
Since then I've been angry, sad, depressed and delirious. Sometimes all at once. I'm trying to keep a positive outlook, like this is a catalyst for a good change in my life. Time will tell I suppose. But for now, I'm applying for jobs and working on a case against my former employers. More about that as it comes to fruition.
I'm going to still try to post outfits for interviews and meetings. Or if I feel especially cute and confident. Perhaps I need to make myself post everyday so I'll get out of my pajamas...

My husband rearranged the living room and the couch is in front of where I normally take my photo. So, I'm outside until I can find another spot. The pups decided to make an appearance today.

Not sure if I'm in love with this brown hair colour. It's darker than what I'd imagined. We'll see how it washes up.

I feel very patriotic in this. It's a little out of my normal comfort zone as the only black I'm wearing is the belt and shoes. ACK!

The newest (and fresh!) tattoo. It amuses me to no end and I think that's important sometimes.
I go back in 2 weeks for some more work on my chest.

I'll hopefully return to outfit blogging next week. I've been lazy the past few days after returning to work post-ice storm and didn't put much thought into my clothes so I didn't photograph them. I realized how much I actually enjoy putting outfits together now! I kinda missed it.

Off to pick up my Mary Kay order then to a baby shower for the cutest couple I know.

A wonky morning picture! My tripod was crooked it seems, much like my belt. Oh well.

Brown sweater- Sonoma

Shoes- >.> These are my husband's Skechers...I thought they'd make good snow-going shoes. I was right. And yes, we wear the same shoe size. >.<

I've finally got power and heat back after the big ice storm last week. We were without power at our house for 6 days and I was off work for 4 of those, thankfully. Sunday it was 65 and melted the last of the snow and ice away. Tuesday it snowed all day and this mornign I awoke to 2+ inces of snow on the ground and it's still going strong. Work was on a 2 hour delay but the roads were still a mess. It took me 5 tries to get up the hill on my street and the rest of the drive was not the easiest either. I doubt they'd call school off again after beign closed all last week but it would be nice to not have to be out in this all day and evening, as I've class tonight.

On a better note, I get to get tattooed again on Friday! It gives me something to look forward to thus it helps me get through the week.
