I’ve been really naughty lately. Naughty with my wallet. It’s hard to resist all the great deals all the stores have this month. I go out to do my christmas shopping, but then I end up putting up my conscience blinders and “forget” that I should be shopping for other people.
darn you J.Crew for having such cute stuff on sale. 
The yellow raincoat I found at Anthropologie on super sale. I drooled over it when it first came out. I’ve worn it to school these past three days. Comments I’ve received thus far from students (an other teachers!):
“good morning Ms. Bright!”
“What the hell are you wearing? I’m blinded!!”
“That so cute! Why don’t you ever look like a teacher?”
“it’s not raining in here. why are you wearing that.”
“Hi Ms. Schenck, you look happy today!” that’s because I’m wearing a new coat!!!
To be fair, I did end up getting gifts for others. Case in point: got bambi some woodland creatures in sweaters as friends. Never mind that they are actually candles. And that they look so cute in my hallway! Bambi loves her new friends!
