Doe Eyes That Don’t Blink:

@myers-meadow-selfship @vincent-sinclair-deserved-better

Blinky’s POV:

Things have been pretty boring around here lately. People just weren’t getting lost in Texas like they used to. I kicked my feet on the stool I sat upon. Dad had trusted me to watch the gas station today. I never called him that to his face, but he was the closet thing I ever had to one. One more hour and I could head home for the night.

I was more than happy to get out of this boring outfit. I had to look presentable when I was out in public. Unassuming and inviting, that was my role to play. And I didn’t mind it, it was fun sometimes. I made a b-line for my bedroom and quickly shut the door, stripping out of my work attire. I slipped into some mismatched stripy tights, and a black skirt that say a few inches above my knees. I threw on my favourite turtleneck jumper, and took my hair out of its clip. Letting my curls fall wildly above my shoulders.

I was feeling very monochromatic today, the bright colours being too much at the moment. I grabbed my makeup bag off the counter and went to walk over to Baby’s room to see if she was home yet. She loved helping me with my makeup. And I like it cause she always called me cute after and booped my nose. Baby loved cute things. She got all giddy and jumpy whenever she saw them. But I was stopped in my tracks when I noticed Otis’ bedroom door open.

I knew I shouldn’t go inside, but curiosity got the better of me. He never left his door open, not even when he was in his room. I pushed the door open a little and gasped at the sight before me. There was a woman strapped tightly to a chair with a gag in her mouth. She seemed to be sleeping, but even a sleep she was beautiful. Prettier than anyone who’d come by here in a long time. I see why Otis kept her hiding all to himself.

I skipped over to her, inspecting her closer. She didn’t looked to banged up, so it didn’t look like he planned to kill this one. Otis wasn’t very gentle with his toys, but I suppose none of us were. Mama didn’t raise us that way. I’d only been here a little over a year, yet her teachings rubbed off on me. I gentle moved a lock of hair out of her face, and moved my hands down to pull the gag from her mouth. She looked much more relaxed without that stupid thing in.

I sat down on her lap and gently shook her shoulder to wake her. She would be much more fun if she was awake. I gave her a second to accumulate to her surroundings. I remember how confused I was when I first woke up in this place. But it’s as evident she’d already been tired out. I could see the signs of struggle around her wrists, which meant Otis had been keeping her a secret for some time now. Damn Bastard, hogging her all to himself. Rude.

Her eyes widened when she looked at me, and I sent her a wicked smile. Damn those eyes, they were so much prettier when she was awake, when they were open. I found myself getting lost in them, and I should feel her heart beat rise as he pulse point was on my shoulder. I took a strand of her hair and twirled it in my fingers. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. I giggled softly.

“You’re pretty, you know that Doe Eyes?” I asked.

Her face flushed.

“What did you just call me?” She asked softly.

Fear was apparent in her voice and it was adorable. That someone like her could be sacred of little old me. I mean I was like half her size. Otis was always telling me I was too short for my own good. Couldn’t reach anything without his help. But secretly he liked getting my cereal box off the top shelf for me. And I would never tell him I kept climbing onto the counter to put it there. He likes to feel useful.

“Doe Eyes, that’s you’re name now silly.”

She looked confused.

“My names Manon…” she mumbled.

Oh, how pretty. It wasn’t a name I’d ever heard before and I loved it. It suited her, but so did Doe Eyes. I let out a frustrated huff.

“Bu-but you can call me Doe Eyes if you want.” She quickly responded.

“Yay!” I said.

“Umm, why are you sitting on me?” She asked.

Sure does ask a lot of questions. I like her, she seems smart. I grinned at her.

“I couldn’t resist, you’re legs looked so soft, perfect for sitting on. And I was right, you’re perfect for cuddling.” I smiled.

Her cheeks got even more flushed if that was possible.

“Who are you?”

“Well you can call me Blinky, everyone around here does.” I said proudly.

“Do you live here.”

I nodded enthusiastically.

“I- I didn’t know they had kids here.” She seemed sad about that.

“Well I’m not really a kid, not anymore I guess. I’m 18, I just look small.”

“Oh.” Was all she said.

A frown didn’t look good on here, not all all. But I knew just how to fix it. I hopped up off her lap and ran to the bed to grab my makeup bag. She watched me carefully, probably thinking I had something in this bag to hurt her. Poor thing.

“What are you doing?” She asked.

“I’m gonna make you look pretty. You’re started to get dark circles and it’s beneath you. Jesus, how long has he been keeping you in here?” I shook my head.

Maybe I shouldn’t have woken her, she really looked like she needed the sleep. If she was my pet I would treat her so much better than my brother was treating her now. I’d have to talk to him about that. I sat back down on her lap, going to work on her makeup. I was thinking something bold, yet simple. Maybe 60’s glam would look good. The blue eye shadow would certainly make her eyes pop. She let me work in silence, but it was comfortable. Maybe I’d answered all the questions she had.

I’d barely finished one eye before she shifted uncomfortable. I frowned.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to move.”

“No, no, you’re fine pretty girl. This old chair can’t be too comfortable for you yeah? Wait right here.”

It was a silly thing to say, she was literally tied to chair, she couldn’t go anywhere. I went back to my room and grabbed the switch blade Tony had gotten me for my birthday. It was a rose gold tinted blade with a pretty purple handle. And it was my favourite. I also grabbed my face paint pallet. I skipped back to the room, Otis wouldn’t be home for at least another half hour. Mama sent him to the store to get food for us.

Her eyes were trained on me from the moment I came back into the room. I approached her, flipping my blade and she flinched, closing her eyes.

“I’m not gonna hurt ya.” I said.

She slowly peeled her eyes back open and watched as I cut the rope. Before she could try anything though, I pushed a hand against her chest keeping her put.

“You try to run or hurt me, and I will though.” I warned.

She swallowed thickly and nodded. I smiled, pulling her up from the chair and letting her stretch a little.

“Good.”

I led her over to the softer bed, and sat her down.

“Now sit still.” I giggled.

After about twenty minutes I grew bored of the plainness of the look. I reached for my face paint pallet and tapped the brush against my chin. She seemed so sad to be here, and an idea hit me. I gently held her face in my hands, turning her back toward me and sticking my tongue out in concentration. I kicked my feet as I painted a little tear drop under her eye.

I heard foot steps approach and looked up to see Otis standing in the door way. I smiled wildly at him.

“Otis, Look!”

I hopped down off the bed and gestured to her in a ‘taa daa’ fashion. Smilingly fondly as Otis moved around to admire my handwork. Otis raised a brow at me.

“I like her, she has pretty doe eyes, perhaps we can keep ‘er a little longer?” I batted my eyelashes at him.

He glared down at me, mumbling nasty things under his breath. I didn’t break eye contact however and he finally shrugged, just leaving his room. Maybe I overstepped. She was his after all. But I shrugged it off, turning back to her.

“That wasn’t a no.” I smiled.

“He seems upset.”

I laughed, throwing my head back.

“That’s just his face little peach, don’t worry. He likes ya, else you’d already be mine.” I said simply.

She looked confused at that. But it was the truth, Otis always gave me his dead things to play with. Baby too, they were nice to me like that.

“You seem too happy for a place like this.” She said.

I turned back away from the window to look at her.

“You’ll get used to it.” I shrugged.

I watched her fidget with the chafing and rope burn at her wrists and quickly crossed the room to stop her.

“Don’t, you’ll just make it worse.”

I leaned down and gave a gentle kiss on both her wrist.

“Better?” I smiled up at her.

She smiled softly back at me, and nodded.

“Thanks kid. For being nice to me.”

“Is there any other way to be?” I asked.

She shook her head, her hair falling in her face again.

“I guess not.”

She let out a squeak when I pulled her off the bed. Her legs shaking slightly from the lack of use.

“Come on, I didn’t get you all dolled up for myself. Baby is gonna love this.”

I dragged her down the hall, watching her stumble as she tried to keep up with me. My legs might be short, but I was fast. I dragged her into Baby’s room. Baby was tearing through her room like a tornado.

“What ya looking for?” I asked.

“My damn CD!” She spit, not looking at me.

“Your AC/DC one? You left it by the muffins in the cupboard earlier. I didn’t move it in case you remembered it was there and couldn’t find it again.”

She finally turned to look our way, and froze.

“Shit Blinky, nice work.” She complemented.

I did a fake over dramatic bow. My eyes drifted to the water bottle on her dresser and her eyes followed. She walked over, tossing it to me. I cracked it open and handed it to Miss Manon.

“Your lips were so dry I had to add three layers of gloss.” I said simply. “You watched me open it, it ain’t poisoned.”

She greedily chugged the water down, and I pat her back.

“Careful now, don’t want you to choke. Then we couldn’t have any fun.”

She sheepishly handed me the empty bottle and I tossed it in the trash in the corner.

“Otis let you out?” Baby asked her.

She stumbled over her words, still trying to figure out the right thing to say. The right way to respond to essentially being kidnapped. Which I understood, I was in her shoes once.

“Your gonna like it here, promise.”

I said as I flopped down on baby’s bed. Baby chuckled at my antics.

“Kids right ya know. You still have yer head don’t ya?”

I laughed at the look on her face, flailing wildly on the bed as I cackled. She looked like a deer in the headlights. She needed to learn to relax a little. Which gave me an idea, I crawled over to Baby’s bedside drawer and started digging around.

“Hey! Get yer filthy hands out of there!”

She ran over to try to stop me.

“Christ baby, I don’t care that you got your vibrator in here. I’m just looking for your good stuff.” I said.

She rolled her eyes, reaching to the back of the drawer and pulling out a blunt. She handed it over to me and slammed the door shut. I reached down my shirt and pulled an old lighter out of my sports bra, lighting the smoke. I took a long hit of it and giggled passing it over to Baby. Doe Eyes stood awkwardly in the centre of the room watching us. Baby took a hit before extending it to her.

“Oh, I don’t smoke.” She said.

Baby laughed something fierce.

“I wasn’t asking cupcake.”

She pat the bed next to us. Manon was quick to cross the room and sit. So obedient this one.

“It will make you feel better.”

I looked up at her from my spot on the bed.

“Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye.”

I held my hand up in a ‘scouts honour’ kind of way. She shakily took the blunt from Baby and took a hit, coughing after. I giggled once more, and Baby followed. It was cute.

“Yeah, first time stings a little.” Baby explained. “Just relax, you’re in good hands here. Looks like Blinky’s taken a liking to ya. They ain’t gonna let anyone hurt ya.”

I watched with glee as she took another hit, smother this time, and relaxed a little.

“That’s the spirit Doe Eyes. Welcome to the family.” I beamed.

It be nice to have another girl around here, Mama wasn’t much for fun. Loved her to death though. And if Otis tried to hurt Doe Eyes, he’d have to answer to me.

An: I wanted to play on what Meadow wrote and write Blinky’s pov of them meeting. Add a bit more atmosphere to the vibe. I hope you like it 🥰 it’s a little short but I’m tired 😭 I gotta sleep finally.

"I thought she just hog-tied him?"

don't ask sebby, it's better if you don't know.

imagine they spotlight the wrong person and this dude is just some random person that likes writing down stuff during shows.

Ms Jenn just let them do what they rehearsed (at some point we never saw) or else this is gonna end horribly wrong

"help"

I love how seb is just his translator rn

I thought he said "great displeasure" instead of "greatest pleasure"....help?

big red coming out from throwing up to see his girlfriend star is the cutest thing in this show.

[vln-vibes]

The Raven and the Robin

Yeah so I’d like to blame certain parties such as @ladyanput @virgil-is-a-cutie For getting me back into Ever After High Hell.

Summary: Raven King was tired of everyone comparing her to her mother instead of seeing her for herself, its why she opted for castle schooling instead. Unfortunately it was the year of Legacy Day so she couldn’t make anymore excuses. Besides Evil Queen wasn’t her role; her family knew she was going to be the Good King but well... the Evil Queen wasn’t available. They didn’t know what happened to the King-Queens and preferably no one outside of their circle of trust would find out.

It was the year of Legacy Day…. Then again Legacy Day was done almost 15-20 years after one, depending on how long those fairy tales had taken to have children.

You know Raven didn’t need to think of the logistics of this already stupid thing.

She never liked the fact that everyone expected her to be just like her mother, the Evil Queen of the previous generation who’d gone rouge and nearly destroyed Wonderland, Mara Queen. People tended to forget that she disowned her mother; after everything she did to her, to the kingdom, to Wonderland, to everyone… to her family. Raven didn’t like thinking of the Evil Queen, having long since distanced herself from the stern but loving Mara Queen, as her mother, ever since Prince had been turned into a rat and Robin had….

“Would you two stop fighting?! Peas and crackers!” Maddie’s outburst had interrupted Raven’s spiral, her Wonderlandian friend just as mad as she usually was. Well her father was The Mad Hatter.

“Um, who are you talking to?”

“Why, the narrators! Oh, you can't hear them, Raven, only I can.” Of course there were narrators, Raven gave a small fond smile at her friend before sighing.

“It's just... Ah! I'm sick of everyone thinking I'm so "evil," because my mom was. It's not fair! They don’t even know the real me! They don’t even remember the fact that I was raised by the Good King” the next thing she knew her outburst of emotion caused all their things to levitate before quickly dropping. “Ah curses, not again”

“No one thinks you're evil. Hehe, now you're just talking crazy! La-la-la!”

“Daughter of the Mad Hatter calls ME crazy?”

“Would you stop with the worry-flurry? Besides, your new do is completely you! No one will tell which Tale you belong to” Raven had been worrying about the whole thing ever since she knew she’d have to enroll at Ever After High though her father had been able to pull some strings and get her excused during her first year, unfortunately Legacy Day prevented her from doing so again. As the duo walked up the stairs, Raven noticed the stares but they quickly brushed over her and focused on Maddie’s Wonderland madness.

Raven was relieved, she never met many other fairy tale characters outside of those who resided in her kingdom or family friends such as Cerise Hood, Ramona Badwolf or Hunter Huntsman. Raven hadn’t expected a visit from Madeline “Maddie” Hatter out of the blue, the girl just stating that the place was in need of a good tea party. She hadn’t left her side ever since.

Raven had long wavy ebony black hair with royal blue highlights in an upsweep, a silver circlet with a ruby in the middle framing her hair. She wore a black corset top with a sweetheart neckline, a white pencil skirt with a carmine red tail that reached her knees to it and a black leather jacket with carmine accents tying her outfit together

She didn’t fit the look people had for the daughter of the Evil Queen.

“See? They don’t even realize who you are!” Maddie cheered before a chime familiar to them both rang. “Yay, tea time! Earl Grey,” the little mouse squealed from atop of her cup hat and brought out the teapot “oh, you clever dormouse! Why, yes, this is a new dress.”

Raven just let herself get carried by the madness and took a seat next to her best friend forever after.

The first half of the first day of school had been… interesting. Her classes were pretty broad but Raven didn’t know what to think of them; Science and Sorcery, Castle Design, Grimmnastics and Muse-ic Class had been fun so far but it was tiring always being on alert to make sure no one learned of her last name.

Lunch was honestly a take of fresh air as she’d be able to hang out with her friends, Maddie, Cerise and Hunter.

Then an unexpected visitor came.

“Hey, uh Raven! Right?” Raven took a good look at the guy in front of her light skin, brown hair with a cowlick and deep rich blue eyes; though it was a shame that his glasses blocked out most of their beauty.

“Y-Yeah. You’re in my Science and Sorcery Class, right?” Raven wanted the Earth to swallow her as she found herself alone with a cute boy as she waited for her friends to finally come to the table.

”Uh-You look gort... I mean great. I-I don't even know what gort is…”

“Well, I'd offer you a seat, but we don’t exactly know each other. To sit here you'd have to be pretty—”

Suddenly screams and squeals could be heard from the castleteria entrance, mostly from the girls, and flashing lights from the center of the group.

“Daring”

“What? No, Raven, I'm Dex, Dexter Charming! Daring's my bro…” while the two had gone back to their conversation neither realized the epicenter of the screams had come to their direction until Dexter felt a familiar heavy pat to the back “ther. Oh, gort.”

“Why, Once upon a hi! I’ve never seen you around here, are you a new student?” Raven had to resist the urge of rolling her eyes, not wanting to make a bad impression, as she could only guess who was behind her.

“Yep. You’re Apple White, daughter of Snow White, and Daring Charming, son of King Charming” Raven stated though Apple and Daring seemed to flourish at the recognition.

“I-uh I have to warn you: don't stare at the teeth. Just got them whitened” oh, so that's where the lights came from.

“You are royally correct! Who might you be?” Apple preened as Raven covered her eyes from Daring’s smile.

“I’m… Raven” the expecting looks from the trio annoyed Raven but she might as well get them over with “Raven King”

“Oh my good fairy! You must be another Royal” Apple cheered until they heard coughing from behind, Raven sighing in relief as she saw her friends.

“Sorry but you’re kinda in our way” Hunter shrugged, waiting for Apple and Daring to move before Cerise rolled her eyes and pushed past them to take her seat.

“Well then I think it's time for us to go to lunch boys! Spell you later, Raven” Apple practically commanded the two Charming boys to accompany her to the Royal table, though Dexter shot Raven a shy wave.

“Well I guess that was a nice first time meeting my niece” Raven joked as they finally began eating their food.

“She sure is something alright” Cerise rolled her eyes before beginning on her large steak.

“For what is she without her people and crown? To which do not approve of Wonderland do” Maddie added along, taking out another cup from her hat.

“She used to be a lot more chill at the beginning of last year” the hooded girl explained, cleaning up from her meaty meal with a dainty napkin “But she started getting fidgety when there was no EQ in the student body. That’s when she really started firing up the whole Royals v Rebels and following your destiny thing”

“Right. So what are Royals?”

“I thought we went over this,” Hunter whispered before explaining “It's everyone who wants to sign their Destiny on the Storybook of Legends and follow their stories. We’re Rebels, the ones who’d rather find their own way in life, though we’re probably going to sign too”

Raven woke up the next day to Maddie’s breakfast tea time alarm chiming; she really wasn’t looking forward to rehearsal today. She didn’t know her well but Apple White was certainly overbearing; Kingdom Management was practically overtaken by Apple hogging the spotlight and not letting anyone else speak. The only good thing out of it was that she was able to talk to the Charming twins; Dexter and Darling.

“So, when your magical key appears, you insert it gently into the Storybook of Legends, then stand, shoulders back, and declare your destiny to the world! Have I made myself clear?” Headmaster Grimm, descendant of the original Grimm Brothers, spoke to the student body.

“Headmaster Grimm, but what if…” Raven knew she couldn’t, wouldn’t, sign the book unless Robin was around, her decision would alter his and she couldn’t just𑁋

“No questions? Good. Now, we're going to practice with this tiny Manual of Entirely Reasonable School Rules. Who will go first?”

Raven waited nervously as each one of the students scheduled for Legacy Day passed up to the podium; Briar Beauty, Rosabella Beauty, Jillian Beanstalk, Daring, Dexter and Darling Charming, Kitty Cheshire, Hopper Croackington II, Humphrey Dumpty, Ashlynn Ella, Farrah Goodfairy, Maddie, Lizzie Hearts, Cerise, Sparrow Hood, Hunter 𑁋

“Raven… King”

Raven could feel the stare of Headmaster Grimm as she walked up to the podium.

“I'm Raven King and I pledge to follow my destiny as... um... I have a question!”

“What is it?” Raven could tell that she was getting on the Headmaster’s nerves and knew that her next question would definitely cause a ruckus but…

“I was just wondering, I mean, what if I don't want to take the pledge?”

Raven definitely had to have seen all the gasps and screams of horror coming. Grimm stomping up to her and facing her head on though was probably the more uncomfortable part.

“Here's your answer. If you don't pledge your destiny, your story ceases to exist.”

“Ceases to exist? So then... What happens to me?”

“You will cease to exist! Poof! Now, Raven, continue.” Raven could tell that the conversation was over, it reminded her of how she’d talk. She also knew that her next words would cause even more of an issue.

“I… I am Raven King, daughter of the Good King and I𑁋”

“You’re daughter of the Good King! That means- That means you’re my Evil Queen!” Apple squealed in delight, running up the steps and giving Raven the biggest hug she could. More gasps could be heard, even someone fainting, as Apple just began to ramble more and more on how hexallent it was that Raven finally revealed herself, how they’d be roomates to get to know each other and how she couldn’t wait to be poisoned and get her happily ever after just like their mothers.

“Do not compare me to that woman” Raven shook Apple off of her, she could feel her cerulean eyes glow and her hair float.

“I gotta go”

“But the rules are... The rules!”

“Destiny!”

Raven ignored all the yells and just made her way into the Enchanted Forest. She finally settled onto a log, watching on a tree as two black birds circled around their nest before one of them began to chirp at a bush underneath.

It was an injured bird. No. It was a dead bird.

Raven couldn’t help but cry.

“The Raven flies. The clouds, they sing! The Robin sleeps, with a broken wing. The Apple falls not far from the tree. But what should happen when the tide rolls in?”

OUAT Thoughts Pt.44--Episodes 1-2

I have watched through S5E2; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for those further behind than I am.

—The Dark One dagger being the end of Excalibur is awesome! I hope at some point we actually get to see when Merlin created the dagger.

—I didn’t know Excalibur destroyed anybody who failed to remove it from the stone. That’s dark.

—Yay, Merida! Her dress is a very nice shade of blue, although I personally adore the dark green one from the movie, and her clan tartan cloak is pretty. Her bow has some cool new decorations, too. As far as hair goes, it’s alright, but it’s more wavy than curly and it could have a bit more volume. I mean, come on! This is the princess with possibly the most b*tchenest hair ever, they might as well go whole and a half hog on it.

—It’s a great idea to have Merida and Camelot near each other. They probably aren’t from quite the same time, but I like them coexisting anyway.

—It was funny when Emma’s hallucination-Rumple commented about Merida’s accent.

—I’m gonna nitpick a lil bit here, but I don’t think Merida’s kingdom falling apart because they can’t handle a queen doesn’t quite work. This entire show is woman-geared. Snow leads her people to rebellion, and they don’t decide to switch their loyalties to David when Snow married him. People don’t want Regina to rule them because she’s terrorizing them, not because they had a king before her. Women with the blood right haven’t been forced aside in favor of men previously, and I’m not thrilled with it showing up now. There could’ve been any other reason for Merida’s kingdom to fall apart. Maybe they could’ve used the war that united the kingdom in the first place—it seems Fergus was the rallying force in the war, so his death itself could’ve been the catalyst for collapse. Then Merida could eventually have the chance to prove herself on the battlefield, as a leader and as a warrior, like her father did, and reunite the kingdom that way. Full circle, brah.

—Are we gonna see Emma in full Dark One makeup? I’d love that.

—It’s cool how her hair is full-on bleached pale now. I don’t think it’s quite as flattering as the honey blonde she had before, but it’s cool.

—I love that Regina’s dress for the Camelot ball matched Snow’s. I like it that they’re being friends now. I also adore that Charming and Snow taught Regina how to dance.

—Actually, the Camelot ball outfits were strong overall. Emma’s white lace dress with the wide sleeves and flower crown was gorgeous. Snow’s dress had perfectly-done decorations, and the material looked gorgeous, and her little gold circlet really suited her hair. And Regina got to wear pink! And Hook…well, Hook was just a fancy pirate. But who’s complaining? Pirate looks great on him.

—Emma giving Regina the knife was cool. Although, I don’t think Regina wants to stab Emma even if she does get out of line.

—The tornado portal was fun. They’re all lucky Granny’s dropped back into its original spot, though.

—The dwarves riding around in their van with Sneezy strapped to the roof was hilarious. Lucky that he’s back to being human, even if Dopey’s still a tree.

—It’s also good to have some of the dwarves being more involved in stuff. Grumpy is really the only one I love having around (especially when he calls Snow ‘sister’) but I really do love having him there.

—It’s nice that Henry got to meet Violet both in Camelot and in Storybrooke. She’s gotta be somebody, maybe the daughter of a knight or something.

—Guinevere is lovely. Her pink dress is one of the prettiest I’ve ever seen, and her hair is really good in that style.

—Not quite sure how I feel about Arthur yet. He seemed pretty amiable at first, but now that things are going sideways for him, he might get kinda bitter.

—The Fury was cool. Great design, amazing final showdown, interesting principle. And then you’ve got Charon pulling a *Homer in the bush* when the Fury is defeated.

—Grrrrr, that rose is *stressing me out*. It’s totally going to be destroyed at some point, and I’ll have to watch Rumple die again.

—And good grief, like that wasn’t bad enough, Emma doesn’t love Hook anymore? WHY??!!!!! *curses the universe for letting me watch this*

A few people messaged me and were worried that I might leave tumblr because there were some of my images stolen and used on a nasty blog that was selling feminization garbage... um no, not a chance!

I was just having a very busy week. As a result, I am going to do a couple of posts in rapid succession here to catch up. First, is just a Monday “Let’s go to the office” post. I dressed down for Monday this week, meaning I did not wear a dress to work ;) Here are some pics of my outfit:

Monday was a fairly typical work day. I completed a development ticket item, answered some emails, and prepped a software roll-out, etc. 

The other good thing that happened was I showed up to my office cube to see that IT support had finally setup my wide screen monitors ;) I had standard teeny tiny monitors since my cube had been a hotel cube when I first rejoined my old team back at the office. A request had to be put in to get the new ones. As a developer running some of these display area hogging development apps, I desperately needed them. Yay!

That’s it for now, more posts to follow tonight!

-Ari

*Okay, actually this was a dress, but it is too short to were on its own at the office so I paired it with jeans!
