A Shocking Discovery

Upon reading and reviewing the site Bros Like This Site, I feel as though I may be a bro.  Which is odd because I'm about as girly as they come, but really?  This site is funny.  And I like a lot of the things that "bros" like such as: Eastbound and Down , Entourage, Sweet Caroline, and Quoting Movies, just to name a few.

Yes, if you leave aside all the having sex with "slam pieces" and the such, I am pretty much a bro according to this site.  And if being a "bro" means having a sense of humor then sign me up, because that stuff is funny!

You Want What You Can't Have

I remember being in college and I couldn't wait until I graduated.  I wanted a full time job, a husband, a house, a family, etc.

Now that I'm grown with a husband:

And a house:

And a dog:

I sometimes wish I was back in college.  I can't be the only one, right?

I was in a sorority in college and for a year afterwards I served as an advisor, so I'm still friends with some girls on Facebook who are still in school.  When I see their status updates about going back to school, fraternity parties, recruitment, etc., I get a little sad.  It makes me wish I were right back in college when my biggest problem was what to wear to the Pike party or that the Delta Gammas were trying to take our guys.

Then I see them complain about school work and wish they were graduated and I think of that scene from Billy Madison:

3rd Grader: How's high school Billy?
Billy: High school is great. I mean I'm learning a lot. And all the kids are treating me very nice. It's great.
3rd Grader: Gee, I can't wait till I get to "hike" school.
Billy: Don't you say that. Don't you ever say that. Stay here. Stay here as long as you can. For the love of God, cherish it. You have to cherish it. 

But I digress....

This weekend I'm going to help the lovely and talented ladies of Delta Zeta with their recruitment and can't think of any place else I'd rather be.  While I wasn't a big fan of recruitment when I was in college, I will enjoy the time I spend back on campus helping the chapter.  For these few hours I'll feel like I'm right back there in college and for a moment in time I'll have the best of both worlds.

Fall Reading

I've been on a bit of a reading kick ever since my vacation in August in which I read four books.  Yes four books.  Ok, it's not like I was reading great works of literature.  They were more of the Tori Spelling and chick lit variety, but still.  Since then I have been wanting to do nothing but read.  In the time since the vacation (which was in August mind you) I have read the following:

The last book is by Elin Hilderbrand who is an excellent author.  I have read two other books by her and I think she is fabulous.  Her books are set on the island of Nantucket and they have made me want to visit there.  Maybe one day I will!  If you enjoy a quick, easy, entertaining read then I would suggest her.

I'm now reading:

Jodi Picoult is hands down my favorite author.  I seem to love everything she writes.  I enjoy that she makes you look at things from a different perspective.  Sometimes you think you know how you would feel about a situation and then you read her book and suddenly you aren't sure what you believe.  I can never really explain what it is about her books.  I think you just have to read them to understand.  

With all this talk about books, I have decided that September will be the beginning of one of my 30 Before 30 Goals - Reading 2 books a month for a year.  I can totally do it!

L-O-V-E

So, maybe I'm a little game with some things (blogging, flickr accounts, etc.). This is true. I am definitely A LOT late to the game when it comes to a little something I like to call Pumpkin Spice Latte....

Yes, today I just had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte and it was delicious.

I thank the interwebs for this new addiction. And my husband thanks you too!

Who Doesn't Love a Good Deal?

Confession... I love a good deal.  Ok, so that's not really a confession because who doesn't love a good deal?  The confession is where you sometimes find that good deal.  My recent good deal find is Big Lots.  Yes.  Big Lots.  I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.  And do you do know what I'm currently in love with from Big Lots?

Yes that's right.  Calgon lotion and body splash.  Forget your Bath and Body Works, forget your Body Shop.  This stuff rocks.  Crazy, right? I thought so too, until I smelled it.  Some of the scents smelled pretty awesome and they were selling lotion and body splash for $1.20 each so I thought I'd try it out.  I thought for sure that after an hour or two the scent would wear off.  Imagine my surprise when at the end of the day it was still with me!  So yeah, cheap and effective.  Just the way I like it! I know they sell Calgon probably at any drug store so go try it out.  Seriously, I'm not even kidding. 

In other news, a long weekend is upon us and God's honest truth, it is much needed.  I feel like I have been taken a beaten at work lately and the rest will be much appreciated!  It will be nice to not have to worry about work for three.whole.days.

So everyone have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your little break!

And because I see this on all kinds of blogs... this is not paid for by Calgon.  I'm just a crazy person who really likes it!
