Cat pause
I looked at my watch and found I was still at work at 7pm. Oh no.
Source, kind of. Found somewhere on tumblr.

Daily Outfit: Hot hot day
A hot day calls for a little dress.
The students liked my blue shoes.
Sorry I've been wearing this dress a bit lately.

Daily Outfit: If you pleats
Oh noes! Getting a little behind in the Daily Outfit shots again.
Attempting respectable attire, yet again. Workwear is hard!

Just a minute in February
I refuse to believe that the last time I did one of these was back in November! Shocking.
This month has been a busy one. Settling into full-time work! Maintaining many friendships and a relationship! The endless marking!
Reading... finally finished with something I regret commencing: The Vampire Lestat. To be fair, I really enjoyed Interview with the Vampire (before the whole Twilight trend, thank you) and picked this as a travel text. It did keep my eyes busy through Laos and Cambodia but it's just been dragging. I'm a bit of a stubborn reader and reluctant to give up on a text so I'm happy to have finished this one and moved on to Gatsby. Not enjoying having far less time to read these days!
Listening... to my newly updated iPod - thanks manfriend! A few concerts in February too.
Watching... Movies every Monday with the manfriend. I like this routine. Some good, some... not so.
Buying... dinner and drinks every week. Things if my heart desires (love getting paid!)
Wanting... less marking. It's really starting to drag. Life of a teacher, huh? I'd like more sleep (ditto) and the weekends to last a little longer. I do get the holidays so I can't complain too much I guess.
Cooking... weekly meals (when I remember on Sundays!) Love my Moroccan curry recipe... otherwise known as Mesopotamian curry in my B52s cookbook!
Making... plans for birthdays, to-do lists (as always), a mess of my room.
Loving... these last few warm days. Daylight saving. Manfriend. Perfume just because. Clearing out my underwear drawer. Organising my fashion folder. Playing DS for a break. Spending time with catso. Cycling on summer nights. Interested students. Finally catching up with Harry Potter (well, we haven't seen the one just finished in cinemas yet...) Spreadsheets. Hot popcorn in bed. Green tea to get the day started. An apple a day. Red lipstick. Getting compliments at work (from teachers, not students!) Making pancakes at the weekend. Catching up on blogs in the evening.
How was your February? Did you feel loved?

Wednesday Wrap-up
Just a quick one tonight as I have to get back to marking (uh, yay?)
Delightful weekend with the manfriend. Growing concerns that we're getting old though. Case in point: Saturday evening? Dinner with the inlaws then we played Monopoly all together...
Friday night was nerd crew dinner. So lovely to catch up with old friends.
Monday night was movie night (we try to every week!) This week: L'illusioniste, by the same animator as Triplets of Belleville (amazing!). Quite sad but beautiful too. Finally a successful film choice after some shockers.
On the school front it's assessment week so "less" teaching for me but a whole stack of marking. The pile only increases! I hope I'll have some time this weekend to make a dent in it otherwise things could get crazy at Sequin Cat HQ while she's writing reports.
Has your week shone? Sparkled? Stank? Do tell all.

Gatsby
After reading a pretty terrible novel (don't ask!) while on holidays, I thought I'd mix it up a little bit and read something light. I found The Summer we read Gatsby at my local library and started it the other night before realising that I was reading a book that referenced another book that I hadn't even read!
A quick visit to the school library sorted that out and yesterday I started finally reading The Great Gatsby over my afternoon sushi.
GQ, Spring 1974What are you reading at the moment? Anything exciting?
Daily Outfit: Skull Flower
Monday nights are still going strong as movie night. Unfortunately, not even a bottle of red could soften Black Swan. I know it's widely acclaimed... just not my thing.
