A package from Krista at Peetee's Palace was another delightful surprise. I've coveted one of her bright sugar skull bracelets for months. And what a way to lift my spirits about the raft of things we're contending with at the moment.
I've tried to take photos at the end of my work day, but in most of them my fatigue and worry is showing. Forgive the vanity that keeps me from sharing most of them with my readers.
Nothing very special about this except the collection of nut & seed necklaces around my neck, 3 strands.
Today, in a small burst of daylight savings optimism, I took photos of what I thought might be blogworthy.
Tonight, I discover I've managed to lop off the top of my head in EVERY photo! So, have a laugh at my expense!
This charcoal gray dress by Ralph Lauren has a high waist also like last week's plaid. While in theory I love the scoop neck, in reality there is a difference between the skin on my neck and the skin on my chest. I pulled out this silk scarf that Citizen Rosebud used to wrap up an item I'd ordered from her and the blues and purples gave it just the touch of color (and cover) I needed.
I probably won't do much better visiting blogs this week. I have two stacks of papers to grade in addition to everything else. And I'll be so glad when this election is over!
I'm linking up to Visible Monday, mostly as a way to let everyone know I'm still kicking. Hope to see you there.
Nice to see you, Terri, with or without the top of your head. Will be thinking of you as you face this week's challenges.
ReplyDeleteAnne--After I read your post, I was astonished. None of these troubles that worry me are anything like what you've been dealing with and with such good humor! Dr. Quack, indeed!
DeleteYour plate is full and overflowing Terri, so I'm glad there were some moments of joy in your difficult week. Halloween is still a fledging celebration here but its popularity is growing and I must say it beats the pressure and stress of Christmas hands-on. I love it and the wee chappie's robot suit is a hoot! Dear of the little girl to stay in character:) I love to see you piling on the beautiful strands of bead and seed necklaces - they're so striking en masse aren't they? I do hope your sister is stable and your mum's move is uneventful. Lucky you getting a parcel of love from Krista, I wear the skull bracelet she sent me almost everyday, it makes me happy:) xo
ReplyDeleteDesiree--When I looked at your post, it appears Brisbane does Halloween in high style! It looked like loads of fun! Can't wait to see what you'll do with the package that is making its way to you!
DeleteSuch a busy week you must have had. Hopefully everyone in your family is doing better.
ReplyDeleteMarla--Welcome to Rags! My sister is better, but FIL is not...
DeleteWhat a crazy week for you! I love that robot costume!
ReplyDeleteI think you look beautiful in every picture, Terri!
Oh, Sheila, thank you!
DeleteAw. Seems wrong that someone as stalwart as you has to face challenges:(. Hope this week goes better.
ReplyDeleteLisa--Yes, it is very seldom that anything throws off my equanimity, but I have definitely wobbled this week. Grading may actually take my mind off things beyond my control.
DeleteOn another note, can I be on your blog list? I have been reading your blog for a couple of years - I know I don't comment as much as I used to (you know how that goes!), but I'd like to be a part of that illustrious group, if I may. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Sheila
Sheila--Of course, you can be on the blog list. I repaired that last evening. A major oversight on my part! Loved your Halloween get-up!
DeleteWow what a busy week! I love your necklaces and those bracelets. :-)
ReplyDeleteMeghan--It has been crazy...and I had no hurricane to contend with!
DeleteCute costume on Grandson.
ReplyDeleteDid he come up with all of that himself or did he get his Grandmother, who's so clever at coming up with great looking outfits from thrifted bits, to help him?
Grade on!
Rose--Actually the costume is a development of an inexpensive costume I made out of cardboard and aluminum foil 25 years ago. Oldest daughter remembered...and then grandpa took over!
DeleteHi Terri, looks like things have been busy as usual over at your place. And you're looking fabulous in your little black dress.
ReplyDeleteJoni--Too busy. More than once DH and I have considered running away lately!
DeleteI love those necklaces and sugar skull bracelets. Your grandson's robot costume is superb!!
ReplyDeleteUneFemme--Thank you! My husband actually took the costume project under his direction--spray paint, fancy tape, and random bits of hardware!
DeleteTerri, you look wonderful, but sorry you're having such a challenging time. I am sending positive thoughts your way. Thank you for taking the time to share your presence with Visible Monday, it is always great to see you.
ReplyDeletePatti--I appreciate all the positive thoughts. I can deal with the grading, but it is the all-at-onceness of everything that has me feeling overwhelmed.
DeleteBig virtual hugs, Terri. I know how draining worries can be. I hope you're taking care of yourself, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the robot costume, very technologically advanced! I would have loved to see "granny" - she sounds like quite the Method Actor.
Terri, you are so beautiful, that I'm going to stick to my certainty that anything looks good on you, and I'm always happy to whatever style pics you want to share.
Lynne--thank you for the hug. Granny was a blur of palsy! Perhaps I laughed out of nervous tension, as that is one of the troubles that has FIL down.
DeleteHoping you find the energy to deal with a busy schedule!
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful~
Paula--Well, all one can really do is put one foot in front of the other! And thank you!
DeleteLooking very sharp, Terri! I'm glad you had some cheer in the form of the youngest little "old person" in spite of a very busy and hectic times. Some of the costumes I saw sure melted my heart and put a halt in my stress levels :)
ReplyDeleteMeri--I snapped many photos of our trick or treaters. One pirate in particular is likely the next Johnny Depp. And, of course, I've raided the loot for all of grandson's tootsie rolls!
DeleteWhen your photos have cut off parts, they are of course Art. You still look cool, collected, and fabulous despite the commotion around you. Best vibes your way!!! Your grandson will be a very successful grown-up - I see that he has set his fuel gauge at a sensible 3.5 out of 7, not too high and not too low...just right. And Krista is pink sunshine. Nothing like those skull bracelets to make you smile. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteMelanie--I love your eye! Art, of course! Ha, I had not even noticed where he had set his gauge. He is fascinated with anything having to do with engines...
DeleteI'm so happy you like your bracelets! The robot costume rules! Try and find time to chill out after all that work!
ReplyDeleteKrista--Yes, grandson was pleased with his robot suit and no one recognized him! Afraid that the work load won't ease until mid-December.
DeleteSounds like the personal storm you are weathering is equally draining on the psyche ... it is good to see a smile on your dial, as my grandmother would have said :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn--I like your grandmother's saying! I am usually so "zen" about things, but the situation about which I cannot speak is totally out of my previous realm of experience.
DeleteExcellent robot!
ReplyDeleteWendy--Thank you!
DeleteKrista's bracelets rock. I bet her parcel was most welcome after such a manic week. x
ReplyDeleteVix--Yes, I need the abundant color that Krista is known for!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear that you are worried and weary and I have no idea what you mean when you ask forgiveness for your vanity. That seems to speak to me of your heavy weight of cares just now. I love that charcoal dress and though my skin is still holding up, I find myself filling in that space with scarves because it's bloody cold! I remember an apple seed necklace that I bought at the State Fair when I was 14. It was long enough to wrap around a couple of times and I absolutely loved it. I don't seem to be much of a necklace person, though I like them better than I do bracelets. I tend to love earrings, brooches and rings. I love your Halloween costumes (shown & described). Really making an effort with costume creativity is what it's about, not just about demanding candy; until Brits get that first part down, I'll not be participating here. Hang in there, Terri. As with everything, this too shall pass. You've be in my thoughts and the blog can wait a bit while life sorts itself out a bit. I'm sending you a hug from over the pond!
ReplyDeleteShelley--it is not so much that my skin has fallen as it is that neck is a different skin tone than my chest, which hasn't seen the light of day too much. i love the apple seed necklace and currently own two of them. I may try them as bracelets, a thought that hadn't occurred to me.
DeleteThis too shall pass, may be my mantra for the winter.
I am sorry to hear about your torubles and I hope life smooths over for you soon.
ReplyDeleteYou look so elegant in the Ralph Lauren dress.
Take Care,
Jane X
Jane--I hope life calms soon myself. And thank you.
DeleteAch, so sorry you're having a rough go of it. We've got major bad health problems with Phil's parents around here, and that sort of thing can be so draining to worry about.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, head cropped or not, you look gorgeous in those photos! Such a splendid dress, with or without the scarf.
You mentioned your grandson the robot on my blog, and I'm glad to see he's a most excellent robot! I'm really impressed. :)
Hang in!
Ana--I had not realized his folks were nearby. It is draining because there is often little we can do about it.
DeleteWe tried to get the grandson to say Trick or Treat in a robot voice, but he wasn't very convincing.
Terri, I can tell you hardly have a second to spare, so I'm most thankful that you dropped by to say hello. Through it all you're looking fabulous. Glad you're still kicking.
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is adorable. Homemade costumes are just THE BEST!
Sheila--I'm so glad that you understand. And yes, any costume that conjures up our creativity is great fun.
DeleteOh life can throw everything at you sometimes, and then add some more, just for devilment... Good luck with all that you have to contend with, Terri, and make sure you look after yourself in amongst it all. Gorgeous gifts from dear blog friends always help to lift one's spirits, and anything from Krista is like a breath of fresh air!
ReplyDeleteYou look svelte and classic and elegant in both outfits.
PS. Your grandson's Halloween costume is fabulous! xxx
Curtise--Does it ever seem to you that trouble comes in bunches? That's how things have seemed since early October...and yes, gifts are a lift and krista knows how to put color in one's life.
DeleteYour little ones have such expressive faces in your Halloween post!
I wonder sometimes, how in the world does life get so busy!!! I have done the same thing with pictures -- lopped off feet or head, and I have also ditched them after seeing life's strains in my face. Whew! I love that dress on you! And the outfit with the black pants looks so classy! What form!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Lynn
Lynn--Sometimes I wonder if it is the world or me that is off kilter! I have been lopping things off since i returned from having the cast off...still haven't found my stride.
DeleteFabulous always, my dear Terri.
ReplyDeleteXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sacramento--thank you!
DeleteEven with the miserable week you managed a robot costume, 100 trick or treaters and a few photos. I'd say you did well. I really like that black dress, seems like it would be a go-to item in the wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteDarla
Darla--Do you have trick or treaters in the mountains? Yes, the dress is classic...but I've yet to cut the tags off of it. It feels a little big actually.
DeleteYou are one stylish, busy mom, daughter and grandmom! I know how busy life can get...I am there! The robot is so, so cute! And your necklace combo...fabulous!!
ReplyDeletePam--Busy puts it mildly. And, yes, I know a fellow teacher can relate. The grading load is like this every November, but the health and unspoken situation are additional burdens.
DeleteOh Terri you look SO good in that trousers and blouse combination with those necklaces. So elegant and so chic. Love it! Oh yes, I was definitely thinking of you when Adrienne proposed plaid for December. Can we pretty please use that dynamite picture of you in the plaid pants, cream-colored sweater and loafers? And maybe the one with the different plaids put together? I really liked both of those looks best! Hope you are well. We were so very lucky with the storm, I'm trying to get the word out about a place that is looking for donations of clothing and blankets for families devastated in the Rockaways. I hope to post about it tomorrow. XO, Jill
ReplyDeleteJill-I'll send along ANY of the plaid photos. It was a relief to hear that you and yours are safe and sound. I've been thinking that my donation would be in the form of money. I've heard of folks sending supplies via Amazon. I'll read your post before I do anything...
DeleteThis might bring a smile to your face: My husband is a professor and one of his brothers asked him once "You have 3 classes, so you only work 3 hours day?"
ReplyDeleteYour grandson looks awesome! A couple of years ago, I made a robot out of a beer keg costume...for an opera. I've also been in a whirlwind of work. Jeans, t-shirt, no make-up and covered in thread? I'll spare the world. Take care!
Thorne--I had not realized your husband is a professor and yes, many people don't grasp the 60+ hours we sometimes put in a week.
DeleteI want to see a photo of the robot beer keg! And good luck on meeting your whirlwind and deadlines this week.
The black dress looks gorgeous on you, with or without the scarf (but I understand about skin showing).
ReplyDeleteyour grandson's costume looks GREAT, I know mine would love it too. I'll have to show it to them....trouble is I'd probably end up making it.....
Linda--My neck problem is that the skin on the neck is RED and the skin on the chest is PALE!
DeleteHope showing the costume to your grandsons doesn't lead to a major project for you!
I hope this week is better for you! I love those necklaces and the scarf! The robot costume is amazing... there was a similar costume marching through the halls of my daughter's school during the parties on Halloween, all of the kids said it was the best costume ever!
ReplyDeleteDevyn--I need to start doing Positive posts like you about all the good things in your week. Perhaps THAT would turn this all around. I saw several robots...I only know that the price was right on this "cardboard" box and most everything we added was unused hardware from our workshop.
DeleteHang in there, my friend. Love the Ralph Lauren dress.
ReplyDeleteApril--thank you. Would appreciate prayers.
Deleteyou look wonderful in both outfit pictures!! Take care this week and i hope things work out for you!!
ReplyDeleteTamera--Thank you...and it may be weeks, even months, before it all plays out. Sigh.
DeleteIt's good just to see you, Terri! And the robot looks great too! You have so much going on, make sure to take your naps as needed. No one can do that for you, you know. Wishing you Sheila's comfort and joy during this time.
ReplyDeletePao--thank you. it is true that self-care in the midst of so much else is my responsibility. A physician impressed that on me in a powerful way in my early 40s.
DeleteTerri, I hope things are better for you soon. You do look smokin' in the dress. I especially love the scarf. It is the perfect color and right on trend with the black and blue trend this year.
ReplyDeleteI will be so glad when this election is over. I cannot believe the nastiness that has occured and all the phone calls we have gotten. I voted early. I doubt my votes will count for much, but I did it anyway.
Debbi--Things HAVE to get better! I suspect that you and I are of a similar persuasion, but Wichita is the heart of a different kind of thinking. I too voted early and I have noticed more yard signs in my county to make me think that there are more of us about than one might guess in Kansas.
DeleteOh, that's just too much! Do take care; I'll keep sending good wishes your way.
ReplyDeleteMater--I always know that YOU understand how grading alone makes one feel. It's the most important and least favorite part of my work.
DeleteTo say that your plate is full right now would be an understatement! I hope things calm down for you soon, and that your family's health improves too. Believe me, I'm ready for the election to be over too--I'm tired of the ads as well as the way it brings out the worst in so many people. How is it that so many have forgotten how to "agree to disagree"? Anyway, I'm glad you shared a few outfit pics--those necklaces are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteShea--Perhaps you'd be willing to grade papers for me? My sister is fine, but I'm afraid that my FIL's days are numbered. The election appears to be so close...that I hope it is not the start of a bigger drama!
Deletealthough you had so a busy and exhausting week you look marvellous.
ReplyDeletetake good care of you terri, do not demand too much of you.
Sabine--Thank you. I must look better than I feel!
DeleteEven with your head chopped a bit, it is still good to see you. It does look like there's lots on your plate, and I wish you and your family as painless a transition and adjustment to the bumps in the road as possible. Love that scarf on you- thanks for the shout out! xo. -Bella Q
ReplyDeleteBella--I've "lost" my head. Thank you for the well wishes and the scarf certainly saved the look!
DeleteTerri, there is so much upheaval right now, it is all over. Stay strong and thanks for sharing when you can. :-)
ReplyDeleteDevorah--Yes, I sense this "upheaval" too, though I tend to discuss it only amongst family members...it's a cultural change at work, I think.
DeleteOh Terri, I'm sorry you're going through so much all at once. I'll keep you in my thoughts this weeks and am sending warm hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat robot costume is fantastic!
Susan--the grading alone is usually enough in November. My mother's move though is a HAPPY event and one that I look forward too. Sometimes it feels like DH and I are moving into a new stage of life.
DeleteI came back to check in. I hope Mom is settled in and that your other real life concerns have eased a bit since this post. Martin commiserates with the grading. I'll probably regret saying this but I do look forward to the day I have my very own papers to grade :). The semester was a good one and I'll try to get a post up right after Christmas. xoxo
DeleteSounds like you're focused in on "real life" and sometimes the online has to fall by the wayside. I'm sorry to hear about your family's illnesses, and I wish them the best possible. Remember to take care of yourself and take it easy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the goodie package! It looks like a box full of bright colors and happiness.
Megan--I am most definitely focused on real life, real life things beyond my control. We visited the FIL today...not good. I take deep breathes and pray frequently throughout the day.
DeleteYou look very beautiful in that gorgeous black dress. Hope life gets easier for you soon.
ReplyDeleteEmalina--Welcome to Rags and thank you for the well wishes.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear about all that you're dealing with and sending good thoughts for wellness and happiness, Terri!
ReplyDeleteJesse.anne.o--I have NO BUSINESS describing my troubles in light of ALL that is happening in your neck of the woods!
DeleteAnd I thought my schedule was busy!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is your grandson's costume!
Love love love your black dress with the scarf! Gorgeous!
Jeanne--I am too busy. One must have time to process meaning...
DeleteI have to disagree on one point... your nuts and seeds necklaces are special. Just lovely, and I really love your outfit.
ReplyDeleteYour grandson's costume is too cute!
Lawyerdoll--Oh, the nut necklaces are VERY SPECIAL to me, a gift from Christina at Second Skin Style when she "retired" from selling/blogging.
DeleteAnd thanks for the comment on grandson's costume. It was a family project.
Mom, the gray dress - with my red pumps from K's wedding - would be a KILLER holiday outfit... I'm sure you have an occasion to wear it/them too. I'm envious of the sugar skull bracelet. Worry makes us weary, but fashion makes us look (and more importantly) feel better. Glad to see this post - especially on a Monday (sorry didnt see it yesterday)
ReplyDeletePJ--Yes, it would look killer with red shoes and I have helped myself to Meghan's! And, yes, making an effort works.
DeleteHi Terri!! Whew. How are you doing it all? My hat's off to you. Never mind the time, the emotional component must be intense. That being said, however, I especially noticed how great your hair looks (even though you lopped off just the tiniest bit of a view, as you mentioned.) You inspire me to hang in there with growing out the dye. Not always easy to do, and I'm going through a phase where I'm just sick of it. Thanks for pics.!!
ReplyDeleteJean--I'm just putting one foot in front of the other. At least two of our situations are essentially beyond my/our control...so prayer. Good luck on growing out the dye. I keep threatening DH that I won't to go platinum.
DeleteThink you have enough on your plate? So glad you had the energy to come out and play ... you look so svelte in the black dress. Hope next week is better for you.
ReplyDeleteJanin--Welcome to Rags! I have FAR TOO MUCH at the moment! And I too hope things begin to ease up.
DeleteSounds like a lot is going on! I hope your father-in-law is doing better. Mine happens to be in the hospital right now as well, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI love the slacks and button-down on you. Very 'chic-professional'. And that dress has a lovely neckline. It looks great with or without the scarf.
Hang in there!
Adrienne--Too much is going on. And too often, I just want to crawl in bed and wait for all the situations to just go away!
DeleteSorry to hear about your father-in-law and i hope he improves.
wish i was a bit braver about the scoop neckline.
Wish you were having a better time. Hope Kidney stones don't run in families. That dress is elegant on you - very nice lines. Your grandson is a great Robot!
ReplyDeleteBeryl--I hope kidney stones don't run in families either! It may be several weeks yet before my sister knows the cause of hers.
DeleteSorry to hear you're having such a tricky time and hope things smooth themselves out soon. Love that photo of your grandson, really made me smile. And you look fantastic in the champagne silk blouse and black pants. Very chic.
ReplyDeleteThat's Not My Age--Yes, the color of the blouse is really wonderful and it has a bit of a shiny finish.
DeleteThe grandson is at a really delightful age and we are delighted to have him under our roof.
you certainly have a lot on your plate. don't forget to step away every once in a while so that you do not get overwhelmed.
ReplyDeletei totally missed halloween this year. kind of sad about that! love the robot costume :)
[oomph.]
oomph--Missing Halloween is better for our teeth and our waistlines! I've raided far too many tootsie rolls out of the grandson's stash this past week.
DeleteWow Terri, you have a lot going on. I hope life starts to calm down for you soon and that your father in law comes out ok.
ReplyDeleteI love the shirt, trousers and necklace outfit - I've said it before - when you dress like this I'm reminded of Katherine Hepburn.
Love the charcoal dress on you - Ralph Lauren! what a find!
Veshoevius--Life will calm down...
DeleteI'd love to truly look like Kate Hepburn, but i think the waist on the pants should be a touch higher to truly accomplish that.
Yikes - seems like your hands are quite full.
ReplyDeleteHowever you make it sound so very simple and viable. No doubts.
I love your grand son's robot costume, I did not not have over 20 trick or treaters... i live in a building and there are not many kids. SO I ATE what was left of the candy.
Love the skully bracelets, I have been hunting these bracelets too - you were lucky to receive these and finally you look so SHARP in tht last picture-
Lorena--We have several apartments in our building too, so my husband and I go and sit on our front porch to hand out the candy. And I agree that the skull bracelets are a true treasure.
DeleteSorry to hear about your family members in the hospital, hope they are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI love your grandson's halloween costume, it's pretty impressive. Glad you got so many trick or treaters, and well, actually had halloween. Ours was postponed... twice.
Chic on the Cheap
Lyddie--I cannot imagine how those of you in the northeast are dealing with so much that Mother Nature has handed to you lately. It might have been better for my waist line if our Halloween had been postponed!
DeleteI hope everybody is doing ok by now in your family and yes life has often other plans for us than blogging.Simple details to make us look presentable are often more important than well planned outfits.
ReplyDeleteAngie--Often the details DO make a huge difference. I actually thought of that when I last read your post on crochet. I have several crochet collars that i should make more use of.
DeleteDear Terri, sending great quantities of kind thoughts to you and yours. As overfull of strife and care as life is, I am glad that for you it also includes the niftiest robot there ever was, the odd belly laugh, and times of looking as smart, elegant, and lovely as you do here.
ReplyDeleteAmber--Yes, having the grandson live with us temporarily has definitely been an unqualified GOOD thing the past two years! I so seldom have true, deep belly laughs--that they are remarkable to me when they happen. I need to work on that.
DeleteYou look fabulous in the Ralph Lauren dress, and Bella's blue silk scarf! The shoes are gorgeous too. The high waist lines are really flattering on you, and I hope we get to see both this and the plaid dress again soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope things will calm down a bit, letting you catch your breath. You're needed in many places, so you have to be strong. At least the election is over now!
kaffesoester--Yes, the day after the election our phones quit ringing so often and our mailbox wasn't stuffed with political stuff and life felt suddenly very calm.
DeleteYikes, life is really coming at you lately! I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law and sister.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the effect the scarf creates with the dress. They look so great together.
Jacqueline--Thank you! The biggest worry is the one I can't discuss...
DeleteSounds like life is throwing your share of curve balls lately! I hope all starts to go well again soon. I love the nut & seed necklaces, and that Ralph Lauren dress is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteStacey--Yes, it would be easy to feel "ganged up on", but most of it can't be taken personally.
DeleteWhen is your due date? I've begun to collect items for a package to you.
Considering all that's happening in your life right now, it's amazing to me how much you packed into this blog post. That halloween costume on your grandson is so clever and thoughtfully made with those blinking lights.
ReplyDeleteAin't scarves great? They've been covering up a multitude of my um...less pretty parts forever...
Pat--Scarves are great and I don't use them enough although my collection has expanded somewhat.
Deletei would say people in your neck of the woods have a full plate nowadays too! How was the nor'easter?
It sounds like life is overwhelming, so hoping for peace for you from Denver. You appear elegant in your photos despite your worry! The addition of the scarf was the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteJudith--I agree that so much dark gray does need a touch of color and yes, it is overwhelming. I appreciate your good wishes.
DeleteHi Terri!
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing! sorry was not commenting this days on your blog, so delinquant i am! sometimes life is overwhelming i have sometimes my share
I want to get back to translating, been a while i stopped because of my shoulder and had no energy - so i contacted an non profit org, should start soon - so i will be busy like you!
drop by when you have the time - miss your comments
Ariane xxx
The bit about the little girl dressed as an old woman made me laugh! Especially the fact that she stayed in character! Such great details. She must be a funny kid all year round.
ReplyDeleteThe election is finally over, thank goodness! I was on the brink of having anxiety attacks.
I hope all your stricken family members recover quickly and that you're able to get thru the stack of papers to grade quickly!
I can empathize with the 75 papers. Every time I return a batch, another pile shows up.
ReplyDeleteWow... with all that Drama unfolding around you it is probably a similar reason that I have for Blogging often... this is cheaper than Therapy and is my Happy Little Bloggy Place to come to and Lose myself in what I'm Passionate about and need a Respite to Enjoy in Peace every so often. May things calm down for you so that you don't have so much to deal with all at once.
ReplyDeleteBlessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
what a fab halloween...........love a homemade costume!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Terri--just stopping by to say HI! Hope things slow down for you. I too have started taking pics after the workday--and i look it! oh, well~
ReplyDeleteHey Terri, thought I'd answer your hair question here as well as over at my blog.
ReplyDeleteI have another blog, www.amothersjournal.com on which I have done some tutorials. You can see them in the sidebar there. I have pages also on a website I run. http://www.thehealthyhomeschool.com/longhair.html
Thanks for asking!

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code
ReplyDeletewith HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Hi Terri, I hope that you and your family are doing well and that you are back blogging soon.

ReplyDeleteNow days Business PBX come packed with a lot of features. You can basically customize your business PBX to fit your business needs. When you see the features, you will know how your current phone system is not good enough. I have been using hosted pbx from Telcan. With this business PBX, I can customize the welcome greeting, route calls to multiple numbers, even program what phone number to call at what time, have a professional voicemail, get my voicemail emailed and the list goes on. It is very easy to set up using wizard. Check out PBX

I believe all small business should have business phone service. If you are one or two employee company or in business where all your staff is on the road, then you don't really need a business line. Just get a Toll Free number and it will work on top of your staff personal cell phones. When they receive a call, it will indicate that it is a business call on their call display so they can answer it professionally. All your staff can have their own professional voicemail system. You can monitor how many calls are answered and missed. I have been usingbusiness phone service from telcan. Check them out at: Check out Check out Hosted Pbx
