Factual Monday

I have a freckle on my eyeball. It’s either that or a teeny, tiny third pupil.

See:

That’s my eyeball. Apologies if eyeballs creep you out (I’m talking to you Amanda!). I also have orangey color around my pupil.  That and my freckle/third pupil have been there my whole life.

Fact Summary

  • I have a dot on my eyeball my that is either a freckle or a third pupil (or maybe sign of genius. eye doctors, feel free to weigh in?)
  • My orangey eyeball allows me to occasionally get away with red hair as seen during Winter 2007.
  • I was out of town most of the day for work, hence the belated and brief (but still very, very interesting) Factual Monday.

Saturday night, I hosted a dinner and game night for my best gals. Everyone brought a dish and we gorged out and then played Cranium (which btw is the funnest game ever!). Here, I am acting out the “magnet” part of “chick magnet” while my teammate/friend/awesomesauce-almost-lawyer, Erin, tries to guess. We came in last, which I am sure is due in no small part to my phenomenal acting skills. And fyi, I am a magnet because the wall is attracting me…duh. The closest guess came in at “chicken magnet.” So close… yet so far away.

New ‘do. With some trepidation, I went for the old choppy chop on my bangs (by a professional, of course). I blame it on perusing too many photos of Ms Birkin. I do believe I am pleased with the result. Whatcha think?

Daily Lovely - Shop Goodwill Did you know that Goodwill has an online shopping site? I didn’t! While I love scoring a good deal from Goodwill, I abhor combing through the racks and shelves looking for those good deals. You really have to be in a certain frame of mind to dedicate the time necessary for a Goodwill visit, but not when you shop online. While I think the ease of use could be improved a bit, visiting the online store way easier than scouring the brick and mortar version looking for a steal. The format is similar to the eBay bidding style, but you can pay with Visa/MasterCard/American Express in addition to PayPal (and you know that your dollah-dollah bills are going to a cause). Some covetable items that I spotted today include: A Hermes bag, currently at $501 A silk Phoebe Couture dress, size 4, with tags, currently at $7.00 A 20-inch Apple iMac, currently at $301 A Burberry lambswool scarf, currently at $55 A BCBG brown leather handbag, currently at $24 A Japanese style cloth kimono, currently at $24 (very Olsen twin-ish with some black leggings and industrial boots) A Love Moschino dress, size 6, currently at $31 A classic DVF printed wrap dress, size 2, currently at $26 (p.s. make sure to do your research and read the fine print on condition of any items as they are returnable only under special conditions outlined on the Web site)

“How Rude!”

What I should have said to the male receptionist at the gym who responded with a loud, high-pitched “OH MY GAHHHH!” when I exclaimed (to myself) “oh no! it’s raining.” as I left this morning. Instead, I just gave him a stank eye and pressed on.

(Yep, I went to the gym this morning… *pats self on the back*)
