Work (staff meeting and training session)
I gave myself about 5 minutes to get dressed this morning. I think it was my manic attempt to force myself to be inspired, after yesterday's inspiration brainfreeze. So this morning, in my whopping 5 minutes, I just started grabbing things from the closets, the dresser, the floor. Once it was all said and done, I was pleasantly surprised with the result. I love these Michael Kors skinny dress pants. Right now they are hemmed with safety pins, but I'm planning on doing some major real hemming this weekend (I have probably half a dozen pants and jeans that I've been pinning with safety pins forever, and they desperately need a real hem).
I love the winter wonderland that Chicago has become in the past week. The snow from the blizzard at the end of last week still hasn't melted, and I love how pretty everything is. It's cold, too, of course. Don't worry, I wore wool socks and snowboots when I was outside. I just slipped on my work shoes to take my pictures. I walk to work everyday, and it's about a half an hour each way. On particularly cold days, it's a bit brisk (to say the least), but exhilarating at the same time. I like having that time to myself, too. It gives me a chunk of time each day where I can disengage a little bit, and transition from one part of my life to the other.
