& in other science news:
These snails were mating on our stairs the other night...

We must be creepy scientists to go take a picture... little bit "Peeping Tom"...

Everyday my students say that I look like Velma from Scooby Doo:

Do you see the resemblance? 

two chains.

I have always had a slight obsession with "scarf print" or anything with chains I suppose... 

I was pumped to find this hot pink beauty on the sale rack from Macy's with a gift card + coupons, I took this top home for $5! 

& to whoever returned these maroon pants to my local store from their online order from Old Navy, thanks, they fit perfect.
