Holy Tar Heel Basketball, Batman

Man did I pick a good game to go to, or what?! Best $500 I ever spent. Seriously. Got to see old friends, bonded with a 6-year-old who might start asking her mom for mascara and a hair straightener for Christmas (sorry SB), saw about 2 inches of snowfall (a majority of that actually fell ON us), and watched my sweet Heels win one for the Gipper. Also scored a rally towel, but that's neither here nor there. Almost bought the last UNC Snuggie at the Franklin Street CVS, but I managed to tear myself away. Does a person really need three Snuggies? (Don't answer that.)

Plus watched "Elf" (again) on the plane ride home. Doesn't get much better than that. :)

Ouch

Elliptical repair guy came this morning. I joked how the elliptical takes up most of the living room (which really isn't a joke; it's true), and he said "oh, that's okay. You're a college student, right?" I was like, "um, NO." And he was shocked and asked, "What? Really?" At first I thought I should be flattered, that he thought I totally looked college age. But then he followed up with, "So you're living here why? To save money?" Um, sure pal. Dang.

*Note: perhaps my UNC football rug needs to go. It DOES look rather "college-y" in here...

About to snap

Wearing a puffy vest similar to the above today at work. I swear to god five people have walked by and asked, "Are you cold?" NO I'M NOT COLD. It's fashionable. (In fact, I'm sweating my a** off, but I can't take the damn vest off b/c the shirt underneath is a tad short and no one needs to see my stomach at the office.) Crikey. Never wearing this bad boy again. Unless it's like -5 out and I can say, "Actually YES. I'm freezing." Sheesh.

Chapel Thrill...

Going back to Cali tomorrow. Um, I mean NC.

Staying with my college roommate, pictured above (shout-out, SB!), nosebleed tix to the UNC-KY game (please win, for the love of god), buying up more Carolina crap (although I can't imagine needing to own more t-shirts than I already do), dinner with sorority sisters (delta love)...all in all, good times ahead.

Kind of annoyed by

...cars dressed as reindeer. It's just weird.

I find it amusing

...that ever since Jessica Simpson received her ruby and diamond engagement ring (which, even though I share the ruby as my birthstone, I find quite fugly), her nails have consistently been painted a matching ruby red. What is a girl to do when she wants to wear, say, pink? Oh the mismatched humanity.

Meteorology. What a joke.

The other night on the news, the weather guy was talking about a "potential weather pattern" that could hit the Dallas area next week. Apparently on the European radar charts (?), this bad boy could create a huge winter storm that would result in "record-breaking snowfall" for the metroplex. However, on another chart, it would breeze right by and just get a little "colder." Um, really? Ice age versus simply throwing on a scarf? Good to know, people. Good to know. Where's Troy Dungan when you really need him.
