i carry your heart

Okay, so this isn't terrible.

Im spending Valentine's Day with...a bunch of my students parents. And did I mention the internet went out? Good thing that's not where the grades live...oh wait. It is. Sigh. #parentteacherconference #teacherlife #geekyclassroom #valentines

Sorry students, my cat decided your assignments were a cat bed. You don't get them back. #gardeniagram #catsofinstagram #teacherlife

In case you forgot what gardenia looked like...#gardeniagram #catsofinstagram

I may have been overly excited for the school dance's theme tonight. #teacherlife #grangerhs #lookatmeimsandradee #grease

Crappy quality or not, past midnight or not, gardenia is going to sit and look like a princess regardless of circumstances. #gardeniagram #regal #catsofinstagram

Practicing my hair for my fanx cosplay...this is going to be harder than it looks. Good thing I have two months! #cosplay #fanx17 #saltlakecomiccon

My dog looks like a fallen AT-AT. #dogsofinstgram #lilygram #starwars

Gardenia found a new spot to sit, so I guess this won't be used for blanket storage. #catsofinstagram #gardeniagram

Sphinx Gardenia. #gardeniagram #catsofinstagram

So this really does happen at Target.

Seriously, someone get this cat a modeling contract. #catsofinstagram #gardeniagram #ishouldbegrading

Remember what I said about missing my red hair? Welp. #redhead

Traveling, my cat, and school. Sounds about right. #2016bestnine

Bought purple lipstick today. It goes on sheer, but I still feel totally nineties. #urbandecay #makeup #rebel

It is significantly harder to take pictures of Lily than it is to take pictures of Gardenia. #lilygram #dogsofinstagram

It's not the most impressive, but it is the first year I've had a tree to put presents under… Or rather, next to. That's worth documenting. Merry Christmas Eve!
