F!

In keeping with the letters NaBloPoMo theme for April, today’s post is brought to you by the letter F (seeing as how today is the 6th, and F is the 6th letter of the alphabet. Smart, no?). I was all set to post about the letter E today, but I clearly hadn’t glanced at the calendar…either that or my preschool/kindergarten teachers did a pretty lousy job with my education. Either way, let’s see what the letter F brings to the table, shall we? A little free association? No worries, I won’t drop the f*bomb!

  • Football – I’m so fantastically pleased that the season is over! Thank you Jesus that I no longer have to endure the droning of the commentators, the starty-stoppyness of the sport. Though I do get in some excellent reading/napping in during football season. Speaking of reading…
  • I’m fond of fiction – I’m currently reading Special Topics in Calamity Physics, a title recommended by a reader on one of Jennie’s posts (www.shelikespurple.com). So far so good – wittily/snarkily written and very enjoyable thus far.
  • Fruitloops – writing about f topics made this delicious little o’s pop into my head and I’ve now got quite the craving, yet no loops of the fruit persuasion in the house. C’est la vie!
  • Fandango.com – B and I went to see a move tonight. We very rarely treat ourselves to the movie-going experience because we must pinch pennies, and movies are damn expensive, what with the irresistibility of popcorn, Reese’s pieces and whatnot. We saw 21-it was good but not the best. I adore Kevin Spacey in any roll he plays. PG13 brought in lots of teenyboppers on their group dates. But the point is fandango.com – use it for your move time lookup/peruse-y needs. It’s fab.
  • Flip-flops – the weather in my neck of the woods has gone bat shit crazy. It’ll be in the low 50’s one day and the upper 70s/lower 80’s the next. My broke out the flip flops on Friday night as the evening was warm and balmy. I’ll probably need a parka for work tomorrow. Crazy ass NC weather!
  • Friendship – I hung out with the BFF(back in middle school are we?) on Saturday night, played Phase 10, ate entirely too much, and watched my beloved Heels lose. Oh, and also, the BFF’s toy poodle decided to climb up on me and empty the entire contents of her bladder on my lap. WTF dog? Pee clearly doesn’t start with an F, but really? Her well behaved dog christened my jeans while I was sitting on the couch minding my own business! Friendship is stronger than dog urine.
  • Fat – I need to stop falling off the bandwagon and start losing some more of this. I’m headed to the beach the 1st weekend in May and wish to have a wee bit less of a belly while I’m all exposed in my bathing suited glory. I’m not sayin’ I’m fat, I just have a little collection of it here and there, and could use a little less is all I’m sayin’.
  • Fashion – I went to Target today to kill some time and came home with NOTHING! Well, truth be told, I brought home a bottle of chewable vitamins, but umm…hello? Target totally let me down. No dresses fit, no bathing suits fit, no fabulous shoes have made it to the shelves lately that call to come home with me. I did find a couple of super cute bags I could have purchased, but I’d need an item that covered my body in order to validate my purchase. I could pull off a dress purchase, seeing as how it covers top and bottom for a mere $24.99. The only dresses I spotted looked eerily maternity-like when on my body…and we’re just not there yet. Give me a year or two and check back. Meanwhile, I do not intend to look like I have a bun in the oven.
  • Fad – I’m a little disheartened by the fact that leggings are making a comeback. What’s next? Tshirt ties and neon slouch socks? Say it ain’t so!
  • Federal Income Tax – ok, IRS…where the heckfire is my tax refund? We filed ages ago and the state people were on the ball with the sending of the funds. Show me the money!
  • Final exam – B’s finals are the last week in May and then he’s free for the entire freaking summer! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. The poor man is always sleeping, studying, eating, or working. Always with the business and I just plain miss him. We won’t know what to do with eachother, he’ll have so much free time!  

Are you bored to tears yet? I’ll try to come up with some posts of substance this week. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I know I did. Back to the grind tomorrow. Check ya later!
