Friday, What Took You So Long?!

(Isn't this perfect for the 'Friady, I'm in Love' Series)

I wasn't kidding yesterday when I said that this has seriously been the loooooongest short week EVER! Who has an explanation for that? Please show some mercy! I have about lost my mind!

But you know what? Today is the last day of school and the kids are outta here! I'm pretty sure that the faculty is just as excited as the kiddies :) Love them dearly, but Ms. Looney needs a break!

Well, I think I know why you're here. You want to know what I'm in love with, yes?? Well, here you go....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm in LOVE with.....

1. The last day of school!!

2. T-minus 6 days until my beach vacation!

(Picture from last year)

3. My necklace I won from Summer. Did I mention she has one and we will match??


4. My strawberry Pop Tart for breakfast


5. The fact that I hot-rolled my hair today. I'm throwing it back to 1995.


6. This new Katy Perry song.


7. Having new blog friends!! I promise I will come visit you!


8. The Starbucks card that one of my kiddos gave me this week!


9. Not having any work responsibilities for two months!

10. An outfit-of-the-day! I wore this last night for our 8th grade graduation. You've seen this dress in this post, but I styled it a little differently last night.

I feel like I always say this about my dresses, but I got this Lilly ON SALE! Serious sale! I love the peacock patchwork-y print.

The Kate makes its second appearance of the summer!

Here's a closeup on the print. Isn't it so summery??

Jewelry, of course. That ring is a David Yurman copy cat :)

My BCBG flats. I love that bow on top!

Just found you via Ms. Summer...
I taught 8th grade (and 6th and 7th), is that what grade you teach? I love those little pain in the butts. Give me a middle school-er any day of the week!
