Monogram Friday... Read on, you'll get it!

Remember when when you were in college and you had a t-shirt for EVERY OCCASION OF YOUR LIFE???  I had fraternity party t-shirts, band party t-shirts, my girls' school (to be PC:  women's college) party weekend shirts, other college (especially if I dated a boy who went there) t-shirts... OMW, I'm surprised we didn't have one for every time we breathed!  I have since removed myself from all of these worn items. (Except for one, and that's another story!)  I am just not a t-shirt kind of girl any more.  Guess that's because I am a (very) early 40s lady now.

Thus, the dilemma arose every school year for me:  the school t-shirt dilemma.  Every Friday, we teachers are allowed to wear jeans - as long as we are wearing a C******** C***** Elementary t-shirt or a shirt that has the school name on it.  (And those are usually those asexual non-preppy polo type shirts.  Yuck.)  I know this promotes school spirit, and I know that it is a little treat we are given.  I just don't do t-shirts.  And as much as I love, love, love my school, I just don't do t-shirts.

So what's a preppy teacher to do?  Well, I came up with an amazing plan last year. (And my wonderful principal did approve it!)  You see, I love a good monogram on a cute scoop neck Eddie Bauer or Tarjay tee.  So... take a peek at what my monogram is every Friday!

Score one for preppy teachers everywhere! 
(And a big smoochie for my BFF who did the monogramming...)

Lilly and Basketball and Droids, Oh My!

"Oh my" is right!  It's been four days since I last posted.  And what on earth has kept me so busy?  The answers are these:

• Finally cool/almost cold weather has caused me to get out all my cute sweaters, especially my cute Lilly cable knits!  This is the one I wore to the boys' basketball games this weekend.  They were both early in the morning, so hair was not quite presentable.  What's a cute mom to do to remedy the "bad hair morning"?  Don the pink monogrammed tennis hat that perfectly matches the sweater!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• I bought the Verizon Droid on Saturday.  I've really wanted the IPhone, but a)  AT&T coverage in our area is very sketchy and b) we are still customers of Verizon (and their coverage is awesome).  It took me most of Saturday and Sunday to sync my old contacts and calendar onto it and understand how to work all the cool apps and stuff.  If you asked me if I liked my new Droid then, I might say that I wasn't sure.  But today (Hallelujah!) I feel like I have finally figured it out and have put some really fun apps on it.  PLUS, I also  have a protective pink cover AND... the cutest Lilly wallpaper on it! 
  

How can I not be happy with Lilly's pink and green monkeys
