does ft. worth ever cross your mind?

today i'm driving to ft. worth to present a scholarship

to a student at the ft. worth botanic garden.

cool, eh?

work today will consist primarily of driving. meeehhh.

so far, i don't like this idea, but i figure, it's better

than the current office chaos?? maybe not.

i kind of like our office chaos! it's not everyday

you get to call the texas state capitol and get chastised

for planning your lobby day so late! hahaha!

without eyeliner on!

this outfit inspired largely by latoya:

a switcheroo.
