bruises

I got the silk skirt (that I already have in green) in navy this week, because it was 65% off with free shipping. I also got a really fun 1-shoulder bathing suit in royal purple.... and I think this officially turns me into my mother.

But there will be no more clothes shopping for a while, as my husband is about to be unemployed (by choice).  Gotta curb the spending for a couple months.  He's taking the summer "off" to re-do (sand, paint, etc.) the exterior of our house and remodel our bathroom.  YAY!  I think it works out best for both of us if I'm the corporate shill career woman, providing money and benefits and all that fun stuff, because I'm good at it and thrive in that environment; while he does consulting work from home and other random projects that keep him busy, amused, outdoors, relaxed, away from academic or corporate environs, and so on.

Other fun news - I'm starting in a post-grad certificate program in the fall.  My work is paying for me to go through the program in one year, starting in September.  I'm really excited about it.  I wouldn't otherwise be interested in going back to school, but they are paying for it, it goes toward my professional development staff training/education goals, and the program itself sounds super interesting and right up my alley.  I think I feel more well-adjusted when I'm in school.

Growing my hair out, it's going well.  Should be past my shoulders by the fall!
