Friday Bullets: Time Flies Edition
- Last night was the premiere of So You Think You Can Dance. One year ago, I was at my friend Melanie’s house watching this very program and perhaps drinking a lot of wine when a commercial for Free Communication Weekend on eHarmony came on. Melanie told me to sign up.
- The next day, I did. The next day after that, my boy and I began “communicating”, and HOLY CRAP, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?
- It means I only have a couple of weeks to find the Perfect Anniversary Gift. Budget? $200. Now, go! Find something for me!
- It also means that I will forever associate So You Think You Can Dance with meeting my boyfriend. Tell me that is not the most romantic and sweet thing you’ve ever heard.
- Speaking of my boyfriend, apparently he was drinking heavily one day, because he challenged me on Nike+ to run 50 miles by the end of June. Of course there is a prize (yet to be determined) for whoever finishes first.
- I am going to win this prize. (We are the most competitive couple EVER)
- I’ve been told that there is a $1 flip flop sale this weekend at Old Navy. I’d very much like to procure some $1 flip flops, but I feel that in doing so I’m supporting the horrible, terrible, no good mannequin commercials.
- I’m quite pleased that we don’t have too many definite plans this weekend. You know, other than sitting outside in the sun with an adult beverage and a good book.
- We will be going to my good friend Cherie’s house on Sunday where I will be bringing this coleslaw.
- Enable me please. Do I need this blouse? And this one? And these pumps, and also this dress? All of these items are in my cart with a 20% off code just begging to be purchased.
- Now, if you’ll excuse me. I’m going for a run – I have a challenge to win. (Oh, HILARIOUS side note: guess who went off to Chicago this week without his Nike+ transmitter? None of his runs will count toward the 50 miles. HA!)

I’m going to say that blouse #2 is a need. Happy Almost Anniversary. I’ll do some brainstorming to see if I can come up with some gift ideas.
22. May - 6:33 amThat’s a good challenge. And silly Boy for leaving his transmitter behind.
I might need new flip flops. I mean, seriously, who can/should pass up $1 shoes?!
Have a good weekend!

22. May - 7:09 amI love the dress and definitely think its a go (I would buy it in Navy if my breastacularness didn’t make shift dresses look like tents on me).
As for the gift… if he’s a fan of The Big Lebowski, you can’t go wrong with this: http://bit.ly/X2Rag
22. May - 7:26 amI like how you try not to shop at places with crappy advertising. I do the same thing but sometimes I just can’t resist if it’s a place I frequent. Those mannequin ads are horrific though.
22. May - 7:27 amWow, a whole year already? I seems like just yesterday you were blogging about that. Good luck with the gift search.
I am so glad for my DVR and I can fast forward through those Old Navy commercials. Worst ad campaign ever. I mean, good in the fact that mannequins now = Old Navy. Bad because no one wants to shop there because of them.
The only plans I have this weekend are cleaning out my old apartment and making a stop at Goodwill for all the stuff I have to donate. I am very excited to have no plans.

22. May - 7:39 amLOVE shirt #2, but heck, put shirt #1 in there too. I too was watching the show last night and noticed the commercial for $1 flip flops…guess who is going to have them in every color!?!?
Cherie’s last blog post..oops!
22. May - 8:06 amWe fast forward all commercials ever since we’ve had the PVR, but I am curious about the Old Navy commercial now…
Enjoy your long weekend! It’s supposed to be glorious here as well.

22. May - 8:43 amDefinitely get shirt #2 and the dress. I could take or leave the pumps, but they are a nice nude.
22. May - 8:43 amDoesn’t jcrew have flip flops? I know they’re not $1, but they are certainly more cute. And you have that 20% off! All the more reason.
That dress is (cute! and) on sale. Of course! you need it.
We’re headed out of town this weekend, but pedicures and Rhi hang out time for sure when I get back! Maybe le girls can get together and watch SYTYCD one of these nights!

22. May - 9:04 amLove the silk tie neck tank and dress! I have not shopped at Old Navy since they started using those inane mannequins. I loathe them. I’d rather pay $5 for flip flops elsewhere.
sizzle’s last blog post..I’m so 3008; you’re so 2000 and late.
22. May - 9:05 amI think you need all of those things! Have a great weekend, if we weren’t going out of town we’d be there!:(
Kaleigha’s last blog post..I have a crush…
22. May - 9:49 amI think you only need the 2nd blouse, the pumps and the dress. The first shirt is pretty but you could find it any time at jcrew. The other 3 items – unique must haves.
Dani’s last blog post..First thing I’m going to buy
22. May - 2:37 pmI have the dress and the pumps. Obvs.
slynnro’s last blog post..Recs! I Need Recs!
22. May - 4:49 pmYou have no reason to not buy all those items. For reals.
Good luck with finding the boy an anniversary present. I find electronics somehow never fail, but I’m struggling with finding a perfect anniversary gift for my own “boy” so I’m not any help with that.
Those $1 flip flops have weird (molding?) on them that will TOTALLY cut up your feet in between your first two toes. So they aren’t even worth $1. You’re missing nothing.
22. May - 5:50 pmOoooh. Love. Love. Love. That dress!

23. May - 7:34 amI think you need all of those things. I hate the old navy commercials. I don’t like going to old navy as much now because of the mannequins.

23. May - 11:01 amThose pumps are timeless! Ouch, I have the same issue, too many things in my shopping cart!
$200.00 can get you more than you think.. what about a classic scrapbook of then and now? That’s always fun!!
2 other options- if you want to do a designer item, the high end guys (gucci, cartier), have those thin wallets (more for credit cards) for only $100-130!!
They are classy, look even more expensive, and more importantly they are useful!!
Let us know how it goes :)
23. May - 6:39 pmI would be impressed with myself if I ran 50 miles in a year, let alone in a month.
I’m a kilometers kind of girl, so 50 miles just sounds insane.
I heard about the $1 flip flop sale, but just couldn’t justify it. I don’t have anywhere to put any more shoes!
Julienne’s last blog post..Thankful.
25. May - 4:43 amthe second shirt and the dress are too good of bargains to pass up. I say buy them now.
