Comin' for that #1 spot

It's official. I am the fashionista that everyone believes I am. I am currently in 1st place in the FFL. I RULE!

In other news, I have a horrible case of "hives". We don't know that they are hives, but anyway, I'm on a ton of meds. One of them, the pharmacist told me will give me mood swings and tummyaches. Awesome, it'll be like I'm on my period for 20 days.

Oh, I am SOOOOOOO In!

So, I was watching the Today Show this morning, when they started talking about "Football Widows" and how women needed something to do while the menfolk were off watching football. I have to admit, I was more than a little insulted by this proposition. I am a woman, and adore football. But, I kept watching (I'm hostage to my ever-fussy reception). Apparently, some chick with far too much time on her hands has created a Fantasy Fashion League. Ahem, pardon?

Well, I looked at the website. You need 6 people to start a league. Then, each "team" selects 10 "players". The players are designers -- clothing, shoes, handbags -- and celebrities. Points are acquired through press releases, sightings, mentions in magazines, etc. The website keeps track of all the points for you, and then at the end there's a winner. Each winner will be entered into a drawing to win a $1000 shopping spree at the online shoe store, zappos. Well, needless to say, I was intrigued. I have since emailed all of my fashion savvy friends, and hopefully we will have a --shall we say, League of Our Own?!

The downside is that it costs $18, but happily $8 of each person's fee goes to Katrina aid. NICE!

FYI

Just so you know, if you choose to leave me happy posts, you will have to verify that you are a real human being. Just type the word as you see it, to prove that you aren't a robot. Thanks! Merci! Gracias! Obrigada! Grazie!

So, there I was, listening to Dick while taking a long swig of Naked Juice

This is the comment made about me while sitting in my Biz Trans class. I was hugely amused (as my friend says, I am easily amused) and so it has become the title of today's blog. I really don't have much to say, as I don't lead a very exciting life these days, but I would like to reflect on things I'm loving about life right now.

1. I have a MAJOR crush on a sexy engineer. He is uber-cute, uber-smart, and meets the height requirement. I enjoy dreaming of lazy days of cuddling. (Does this make me a hopeless romantic, or seriously hard-up?)

2. I have a mere 24 credits to complete in order to graduate. Do you realize just how leisurely my life will be this year?! Ahhhh, it feels good to reap the rewards of working my arse off last year.

3. I ADORE taking Italian. I haven't started my "self-study" of Portuguese. I look forward to the self-confusion that will ensue. But for now, I am super-pumped that I might actually crack my 5 languages goal.

That is all for now. Health, family, etc. notwithstanding. The one thing I lament is that no one is sending me flowers, but a girl can't have everything now can she? Ok, well she can, I just don't right now. It's cool....I bought myself flowers. So there. :P

Shh...Can you keep a secret?

I still miss him. I thought I was over him. But, apparently, I still miss him. Ah well, c'est la vie.

In other non-secret news, I have decided that I will take Italian for Romance Language Speakers. Portuguese conflicted with my schedule (grr) so I decided to take lemons and make lemonade. You may recall that I wanted to take Italian last year...but that didn't work out, hence Portuguese. This Italian course is terminal, so maybe next semester it will be back to Portuguese :)!

In even more news, I FINALLY finished my Thailand scrapbook AND my Hawaii scrapbooking. Japan is waiting in the wings. I'm shooting to finish it by tomorrow, but that may not actually happen. Who's excited to see it?!
