Step Right Up...Get Your Glasses!

I'm not sure if you have seen the commercials, but it's about to be a very 3D week! During the Super Bowl, they are going to show a trailer of Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. I could probably live without that, but what comes next is so exciting! They are telling people not to "Chuck" their 3D glasses after the Superbowl and to tune into NBC on Monday night. Why you may ask? Because Chuck is going 3D! Mike and I just started watching Chuck this year (2nd season), but we are big fans. It's hilarious. Seriously.

So, being the very serious Chuck watcher that I am, when I saw the commercials saying you could get the glasses at SoBe drink displays, I just had to find them. It has taken me several stores, but today I got them. I actually got 20 pairs, so if you need some let me know. Ha! I wasn't being greedy...we are having our Bible Fellowship class over for the Super Bowl, and I thought I would be a good hostess and get them for everyone.

The moral of this post is: if you are looking for these glasses (because there has to be someone out there as crazy as me) go to Market Street. That's all.

Good...I mean Grat...Stuff

My birthday has come and gone, but I was flipping through some things on my desk the other day and I found this:


How cute! I love grat books, too.

Patternitis

I may or may not have an obsession.

I'm sure that a lot of you recognize those brightly colored patterns, otherwise known as Vera Bradley goodness. I have found that people have one of two reactions to Vera: deep love or deep hate. I have a deep love for Vera that stems back to college. I have never heard of Vera before college, and all of a sudden all of these girls are carrying them all over campus. I was but a poor college student, but every time I went to Spice (sic 'em) I would look through each pattern deciding which one I would get. Then, one day I went in and there was one on sale! Ahh! So my first pattern was born: Americana Red. Oh yeah.

But since then I have developed a bit of a problem. I like to call it Patternitis. This is a serious illness, people. It is not to be taken lightly. Patternitis is the inability to stick with one pattern. Patternitis can be caused by several things. 1. They keep retiring patterns. 2. They keep coming out with new patterns. 3. I like them all (except for a few unfortunates I won't mention in case you own them).

My Patternitis has recently been exacerbated by this little beauty:


Inevitably, every time I walk in, I leave like this:


Then, they send you a $20 gift card for your birthday and then tell you that if you spend a little bit more you get the oh so cute binder clips. Then, you walk out with these:




It could be worse. I could have a real disease. Like Gucci-itis.

I Wear My Sunglasses at Night

Mike is a bug no longer! We went back to the doctor yesterday morning, and everything looks good with his eyes. So...we left the doctor and drove straight to the mall and the Hut o' Sunglasses. Mike got a pair, but he needs everyone's opinion before he decides to keep them or take them back. What do you think?


On another note, I totally rocked the sea green shades, but decided I probably didn't want to pay a huge amount of money for anything sea green.

Librarians Can Be Cool Too...Really

I was going to title this post "Don't you wish your library was hot like mine," but then I decided that most (probably all) of you don't really have a library. At least not the big kind where you actually check out books.

Well...I do. I mean, I don't own it, but it's where I spend my days. I am really a lot cooler than I sound right now. Maybe not. Anyways, my library is brand new this year, so I have the task of making it all pretty. I don't have the big bucks to do it (although Mike would tell you I have spent more on the library than a normal person would have), so I have to get creative. We had a big workshop on creating book buzz in your library, so these are some things I have been working on. I just keep feeling cooler the longer this post gets, by the way.

I know it's not super exciting, but a blog is supposed to be about the day to day, right?
