T-Minus 3 Days and Counting

Here's another list of things I love:

1) While watching "Something Borrowed" with Daniela and Bubs on Saturday, D gasped and started hitting me. "Oh my gosh! The Hamptons!" I generally don't react that way when I see images of the old family homestead, but it made me happy that she was so excited.

2) My fake relationship. There are two wonderful boys in my life and I love them both in a friendly, platonic, flirt-way-too-much way. The success of our relationship is anchored on a few things. A) We pretend to be in love with one another. B) They pretend to fight over me. C) I pretend to pit them against one another. D) I never tell either of them who I prefer. E) I am secretly sure they like one another about 10 times more than they like me, combined. F) I have no romantic feelings for either of them whatsoever. But that's our little secret.

3) TLC's "Extreme Couponing." That show is ridiculous and addictive. I'll admit, I've been clipping more coupons recently, though I know I'll never be the person who gets $1,000 worth or merchandise for $3.25. And have you noticed how most of the people on that show tend to be, um, hefty? I'm pretty sure it has something to do with all the highly-processed foods they stock up on for free. I need some fresh produce discounts, people!

4) My friend Sean McKissick. I called S for our annual birthday chat last Friday (he's a whopping week older than I am, and as weird as it sounds, it makes me feel better). He was groggy when I called, having seen the midnight showing of "Thor." I told him he's getting nerdier with old age. I told him I was a little worried about my own birthday and he said, "Oh, don't go telling me about your existential crisis. I'm LIVING IT!" Hahaha. I'll join him in said crisis in just a few days. But I think I'm in the process of moving from acceptance to embracing my age. I'm ready for my close-up in an anti-aging skincare commercial.
