In 24 hours

Every minute is precious. At night before bed I like to relive my day and think about how I can make tomorrow better.
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. 4:30 AM: The alarm goes off for the first of 3 snoozes. Drowsy walk to the living room and begin pumping. Shower and do my 15 minute beauty routine...
5:20 AM: Toner, brush teeth, decide how to wear my hair for the day (side braid, down and curly, or high bun - if I'm running late, pick whichever is faster). Today, high bun. Then; concealer, foundation, blush, eye shadow, mascara and eye brow pencil. 
                      
5:35 AM: Second guess every outfit I just planned in the shower and finally settle on black denim, black/white stripe blouse and black leather jacket. Throw on my silver jewelry (watch, rings and black pearls), grab my black Nine West pumps, spritz on some Chanel, quick kiss to the hubs (who is still sleeping - remind me to complain later how I wake up too early) and run to the car.
6:00 AM: Arrive at work.
Today is the 14th Annual NDSU FABO fashion show. I can remember being there for the first and the second, so today's show is definitely a don't miss.
11:00 AM: Meet my friend and drive to campus. Oh how I've missed this campus. I'm reminded of all the memories; good and bad and how my life has turned out. Before the show starts, we grab a coffee and warm up, because like the memories I can't forget, somehow I forgot how freezing you get walking around.
12:00 PM: Minutes before the show starts I look around and see my old teachers and wonder if they remember me.
12:30 PM: The show is over and I regret not finishing school and not attending the past 12 shows through the years. It was such a great show! Kittsona, Proper & Prim and Francesa's, to name a few.
1:00 PM: Get back home. While I didn't graduate from college, I wouldn't change where I am now for anything in the world.
4:30 PM: Me and the hubs go to Barnes and walk around. The clearance section has a great history of fashion book that I flip through. It shows vintage pieces and old Victorian style corsets and dresses.
7:30 PM: Finally get home after grocery shopping and get ready for bed and put the boys to bed.
8:45 PM: My eyes finally close for the day and I think, it was a good day. I will do it all over again tomorrow.
I could always use another fashion show, but I have to wait til May 30th in DL at The Nines.
