Here from the Home Front

Another Home front layout, as you can see.....I've been meaning to make this page for a while, and when I saw that floor plan paper, it just came together! I've also continued my love affair with yellow mist, as you can see. Love the stuff.

Today was my first day back at school, for my VERY LAST semester of law school. Which is both exciting and scary. Mind you, I have been in school since Kindergarten straight. I have no idea how to structure a life without homework assignments (well, the summer doesn't count because I just drink lots of iced lattes and get nothing done). For those of you who work from home, how do you build structure into your day?

Random Question (I'd love to get to know y'all a bit better) = Would you ever go back to school (or are you in it? for what?)

Back to the Grinder

Back to school again for another year! I'm at a new school for the year, so unfortunately back to asking for directions, struggling to learn my locker combination, and making friends. Sometimes I forget that I look at bit different, showing up to school with my colorful, fringed scarves on my head, but l figure, if anything, it should start up a conversation. I'm having some trouble getting into school mode (spent Labor Day visiting family, touring, and scrapbooking, but didnt open a book), but everything with time....

Read two FANTASTIC books this weekend--The Sister Antipodes by Jane Alison, and Gilead, by Marilynne Robinson. Gilead has wonderful insights on religion and why and how we believe things--resonated with me, especially since I'm now taking a Law and Religion class where I'm the only person with a religious lifestyle. Sister Antipodes is sad, but powerfully written, about family life and how parents can destroy their own children. Although I still dont know what an antipode is, so if you can enlighten me, please do!

Finally, have been spending WAY too much money on scrapbooking stuff in the past few weeks--just opened 2 packages, and have two coming. I've used just about half of my discretionary dollars for October. This discretionary dollar thing is something my husband and I came up with so that we dont need to argue about fun purchases--ie, my many scrapbooking supplies and his lone scooter:) It really does preempt a lot of marital arguments!

Finally, a random photo of the day:

My beloved pink bumper car from my birthday outing! It was a little sad because the "theme park" was actually a parking lot with bumper cars, go karts, and a fairly lame miniature golf court set up, but we still had a good time! And then left after half an hour and found some kosher gelato!
