Wedding Attire, and Q of the D

[apple_pathways]

My brother is getting married, this January we do believe, and my future sister-in-law has asked me to be a bridesmaid. I have mixed feelings about this, but she is a sweetheart and I'm touched that she asked, so of course I said yes. (The fact that my mother threatened me against saying "no" also had some influence.)

This is the color she has chosen for the dresses:



It really is a very pretty color, but it is going to look wretched on my pasty pale skin! Oh, how I can't wait to have framed photos of me looking like a chronically ill prom date plastered everywhere!



Here's another set of warm-up questions I posed to my students; as always, feel free to give them a try for a virtual kudos!



If you're having trouble seeing the picture, it depicts 10 red marbles, 7 blue marbles, and 3 orange marbles. The questions are:

1. How many more blue marbles are there than orange marbles?
   
2. What fraction of the marbles are red?
   
3. What is the ratio of blue marbles to the total number of marbles?
   
4. What percent of the marbles are orange?

Oh, you gorgeous girl, you! I saw A Midsummer Night's Dream for the millionth time this summer, and one of my favorite parts is always the gorgeous makeup and costume design of the fairies.

Don't expect anything too sexy for a Halloween costume, as I will be wearing the costume to work where I tutor children. *disapproving look*

Lol, hopefully I'll have a party to go to! I lucked out the last couple years, but sometimes it's hard to find grown-ups who like to dress up and party. I LOVE Halloween, kind of a ridiculous amount.
