Osama-bin-bobbin, the French Riviera, and #draping

Where shall we start?  How about the highlight of my day, courtesy of my Econ of Law class:

... All I could think about the rest of class was, "What does an Osama bin-bobbin bobbin-head look like?  Do they really make those?"

A quick Google search says ... "Maybe but I don't think so"

This was the best I found:

Fairly inappropriate.

Let's see.  Other exciting things in my life.

1. I'm eating graham crackers with peanut butter and marshmallows right now.  Best bedtime snack evs.

2. I went trail running in 1000 Hills this morning.  Totally gorg.  Totally got lost.  It's supposed to be a 13 mile loop, but I got turned around and somehow only ran 8.  I can't navigate nature, which is why no one should ever let me go if I tell them that I'm "sailing around the world".  Brit and I have a run date at 6 in the morning though to give it another shot.  I should probably go to bed.  

3. I decided I'm going to go bum around the French Riviera this summer before my internship starts (surprise mom and dad).  

4. It's a big week for DSP (my business fraternity) and I'm a leeeeetttle bit stressed.  I'm in charge of initiation and officer voting... which will be fun and exciting.  Just a big weekend :)

5. The Marines are coming to Truman.  And they're bringing a plane.  You can sign up for hour long rides to do aerial tricks and stuff.  I'm excited.  And I'm banking on at least one of them being highly attractive. 

6. I got my first sunburn of the season yesterday, which I spent at 1000 Hills with these lovely ladies:

My CK pledge class.  We're awk at the hand thing.  

7. I watched The Notebook yesterday.  I need to stop doing that, because it makes me turn into such a sap.  It's absolutely impossible to watch that movie and not want to be in lurve. 

8. My newest (and most fattening/expensive) addiction is the Greek Corner Gyro place.  le sigh, they're just so tasty. 

9. MAD MEN RETURNED.  I haven't watched the 2 hour premiere yet, and it's looking like I probably won't until next week.  But I'm OH.SO.EXCITED.  Also, #draping is happening.

10. A penguin being tickled.  

 Goodnight :)

Mad Men, Miles, and some Motivational quotes

Warning: hodge podge post. 

Life lately has been swell.  

I'm obsessed with these people:

(The cast of Mad Men)

Part of me wishes I lived in the 60's.  I would have been one of the business women that all the men hated and tried to demoralize - yet failed.  And I'd do all of that while looking ever so dapper. 

Another thing I'm obsessed with?  My economics of law class.  Which isn't necessarily about economics or law, but it is really interesting.  I entertain myself in that class by finding everyday parallels, even if it's a stretch.  Example: "Your face is a negative externality.  The socially optimal outcome is that you wear a bag over your head."  Applying game theory to boys and their weirdness is similarly fun.  

Some countdowns:

21st birthday in 6 days

LONDON in less than 2 weeks 

Marathon in 53 days

So much to look forward to!

Marathon training is going swell.  I built up to 16 miles on Saturday and have an 18 miler this weekend.  It's so weird to think that one year in high school, my new years resolution was to "be able to run a mile without stopping".  I actually even get jealous now when I see other people running when I'm not. 

These past couple of days have been rough for me because I've been sick and had to skip workouts, but I'm trying to take care of myself and get better by resting.

And as a part of my "feeling better" regimen I made banana "ice cream" - just a frozen banana blended up with Hershey's dark chocolate syrup. Sooooooooo good!

Annnnnnnnnd here's just some random things that I like, and things you might like too... :)

Stay fabulous!
