January's favorite things.....this could even give Oprah a run for her money

I'm SO BORED!  It's day two of snow/ice days and we still have yet another cancellation tomorrow.  The real question is: Will we have school on Friday or will we really have had a one day work week?  Anyway, in an attempt to pacify the zen-mama I'm going to try and focus on the positive, so here are my top ten favorite things for the month of January.

1.  Animal print.....CHECKS!  Yes, I had to order new checks and for the first time I ventured away from the boring bank options and found animal print checks! Zebra, giraffe, tiger, and leopard.....makes me want to pay bills all the time!

2.  Affordable double platforms.  Target's Massimo line (are any of you old enough to remember when Massimo was a super hot brand when we were in middle school?) has the best pair of double platform pumps.  I got them in patent leather nude, but they also come in gold glitter!  And for only $30!  I may venture back when the ice melts and pick up the glitter ones as well.  They're not the most comfortable I've ever had, but they're good for about 2 hours without needing a break.

3.  Pistachios.  Somehow I always forget that I love them until I go back to Italy (where I eat pistachio gelato about a thousand times each summer).  Can't say I love the price, but I do appreciate their ad campaign with funny celebrities.

4.  William Shatner.  He's so weird yet funny.  Plus it always makes me think of the show Boston Legal with my grandmother watched religiously during her last few months.

5.  Laetitia.  Too many reasons to explain why.

6.  My office suite.....and the hilarious running commentary we have.  If they were every going to make a reality show about the drama of academia, they'd want to have a permanent crew in Lang 405.  Because we're awesome.

7.  Netflix.  Yes, I finally gave in and subscribed.....and I'm addicted.  Yes I'm rotting my brain even more, but I think it's ok because at least I get to skip the ads.

8.  Starbucks Java Chip ice cream.  I'm not really an ice cream person but sometimes I get these crazy cravings for Java Chip ice cream.  It's weird too because I don't even like chocolate.....but I think the caffeine makes up for it.

9.  My big giant animal print purse.  It's huge, it fits like ten different books.  It goes with everything.  I love it.  You should too.

10.  Goat cheese.  'Nuf said.
