Fill in the blank... Todays

Okay, so I read my dear friend Zach's little sister's blog kind of regularly (because there are lots of cute things on it!) and she does these things called "Fill in the blank Fridays." Welllll it's Monday... and I want to blog so here ya go!

1. The best deal I've ever gotten is... well, I've gotten a lot of great deals (thanks, coupons!) but the one I'm most excited about is that Kate Spade bag I posted in the last blog entry! I'm getting it tomorrow and CAN NOT WAIT! Other great 'deals' I've gotten, at least financially, in the past few weeks (as I built up my spring work wardrobe and put aside the clothes that were acceptable for college but not Madison Avenue) were a Banana Republic sweater, originally $98 and on sale for $26; a Banana Republic classy work shirt originally for $80 and on sale for $23; snazzy kitten wedged Nine West heels, originally something like $80 and on sale for $22; Me Too snakeskin flats on sale for $29 instead of the original $80. Thanks, Macy's and Nordstrom Rack! Okay, that was satisfying to relive the money I saved but probably did nothing interesting for anyone else reading it. Whoops.

2. If I were hosting a dinner party and could invite people from my fantasy guest list it would include... oh, wow. Great question... hmm. Well, because I don't really feel like writing a big long thing, I'll just list the people I'd want to eat dinner with and a short quip on why: Bing Crosby (probably not surprising to people who know me well) because I would want him to provide entertainment with his amazing singing voice; Kate Bingaman-Burt because I think her design style is just so intriguing, and she lives in the west now and I want to hear about how design differs "over there"; Cappie from Greek because he is hilarious!; Stephanie Herbst because how do you run for that long?; and probably most likely a bunch of others that my sleepy brain won't let me think of. Stay tuned for a possible sequel to this question.

3. If I could choose to eat one flavor of foods (sweet, salty, spicy, bitter) for the rest of eternity, it would have to be... isn't there a fifth flavor? Relatively new? I'll look it up later. If I have to choose from the list I learned since I was a babe, I'd piiiiick... sweet. Although, lately (as in the last few years) I've been steering away from super sugary things, or sugary things in general. I do eat chocolate every day though (I am my father's daughter, and my grandmother's granddaughter in that...). But it's typically pretty dark chocolate, not Hershey's or anything. Plus, I love fruit, and fruit is sweet and sugary! And delicious! And I eat lots and lots of it! So, I guess that kind of made my decision for me.

I dream about... lots of pretty real things. For example, the other night I was spending time with two characters from the show Greek (if you don't watch... do! It's so good despite what you may or may not think!), Calvin and Rusty, and Calvin was about to invent this really cool thing but this other guy was trying to steal it from him so Rusty yelled "TO THE PATENT OFFICE!" and we all booked it there. I don't know if we were successful though.

4. My will be spent (has been spent!)... planning for my wedding! We got lots of stuff done. We = my fiance and our families. We also helped celebrate my big brother's birthday, which was super fun. And the weather was mostly nice. Absurdly nice on Friday, which made walking around the park sooo much prettier and more enjoyable!

5. If I could only watch one movie or TV series for the rest of my life, it would be... GREEK. This reason is twofold: there are tons of episodes, and IT IS SO GOOD. My roommate and I have been watching them all in succession (she re-watches them with me) and I just cannot get over how brilliant the writing is. So funny. And the character development! Love!

Okay dear friends. Enjoy the ramblings. And enjoy a non-super-rainy commute tomorrow! But not Wednesday! :)


PS if my WEDNESDAY alarm goes off AGAIN tomorrow morning (an hour earlier than needed!) I will throw my phone out the window. No, phone, just because I say I will do this every day it does not show that I don't mean it. Seriously. Work. Please. And don't wake me up until I have to be. Kthxloveyoubyeee!
