Vera Bradley
I will save my theory about there being two types of women - Vera Bradley girls and LeSportsac girls - for another time.
In the meantime - today, on two separate occasions, I saw guys carrying Vera Bradley bags for the girls with whom they were walking (giving them the benefit of the doubt here re: the true owner). Boys, take note. This is not chivalrous. This is emasculating (and in the second case, did not say much for the arm strength of the accompanying girl - unless it was filled with gold bars, that was just weak effort on her part - was it that necessary to make the boy feel like a big strong hero?).
(This nice woman is putting those other girls to shame.)

Carl Edwards & his duck jumpsuit getting all up in my favorite KHarv’s face
I'm sorry, Van Wilder, mind if I wrap you in one of those silver blanket things they give people after the marathon? →

swear I didn’t know about this before I volunteered…
I just saved $46 on my car insurance
I just informed my insurance people that I will no longer be traveling to and from work by car every day, and for that they’ve reduced my premium 46 whole dollars. How does that make sense? Have they ever seen the crazy people on the roads out there? Not encountering them everyday only equals a savings of less than $4 a month? This confusion = why I’m not an underwriter.

SO strange - literally within the last 24 hours I was just thinking about this - one of my most favorite old shows …
while on the topic of SNICK, also to be noted:
- The Adventures of Pete & Pete (including frequent special guest location Nutley, NJ)
- Roundhouse
- The Secret World of Alex Mack (although I was most likely too old to be watching it)
(cannot even get into the whole topic of other Nickelodeon shows of my childhood - too much material)
Shopping amazingness
(ignoring the inherent wrongness of me shopping in the first place)
Ben Sherman Shirt Dress (slightly country-y - will look super cute in Memphis)
original Ben Sherman tag says: $99
original Filene’s markdown was: $29.99
I paid: $2.50
no, seriously - marked down again to $9.97, then 75% off markdowns
(also, some appreciation please for my restraint in not buying the DVF or Kate Moss for Top Shop dresses or other absurd eccentric super expensive designer stuff…)
