Happy Monday posts continue! I am le tired and dreading work tomorrow, so I will keep the gratitude brief tonight :)

1. Today was a teacher workday, so I had an entire day (wearing sweatpants) that I could lesson plan, create materials, and basically get stuff done that I had been putting off for lack of time. A day of organization and creation is always a good day for me!

2. After this day of work I took a nap of epic proportions, during which I slept through two alarms, two phone calls, and Melissa coming home from work. It was delish and full of fabulous dreams, and definitely one of the best naps I have had in the new year. Nap of Champions ya’ll, Nap of Champions.

3. The sunset tonight was totally dazzling. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. There is something about the sky in Durham! It’s totally enchanted and produces some of the most gorgeous sunrises and sunsets I have ever seen.

4. My dear friend Courtney has finally arrived as an established lady fashion blogger, and her fashion sense was  praised today on Kyla’s Blue Collar Catwalk. Courtney is getting her Masters in Teaching currently and manages to stay looking fresh everyday despite the early wake up times that public school demands. She’s the cutest and you should check out her blogs here and here.

(who knew he had this cute indie jcrew shirt hiding in his closet? loves!)

5. Logan has a big training/presentation coming up tomorrow that he has been nervous/excited about. We spent the weekend brainstorming together on just what he is going to say in his allotted 40 minutes and I am perfectly confident he will deliver. Mr. Procrastinator has outdone himself and is already finished and practicing for this big event (super proud gf moment) and is excited for the possibilities this may open up for his career. LPR moving up in the world! All this to say, I am proud of him and the work he does with and for children. His cheery disposition always brightens my Mondays, so he may will be a frequenter on this list.

I hope your Monday had some bright spots too!
