Nerds make lists- May 22, 2012
I made a mental list today of all the stuff I want. Nothing that I NEED, mind you, stuff I WANT. Indulge me. Take a look.
- This poster about blogs and coffee: There are not many things that sum up a person in one little poster, but I think this one gets close for me. It’s very “Amy”. I love it and plan to buy it from MadeByGirl.
- A new season of Hell’s Kitchen: I think if most women had to pick their “English hottie” it would be David Beckham, Colin Firth, or Prince William before hereditary male pattern baldness got the better of him. I hear the young girls dig the British group of Bieber clones called One Direction. Not me. Only one Englishman will do. I’d like Gordan Ramsay to cook me something! I don’t know what it is, but when that man yells profanity at a floundering restaurateur I want to yell, “God save the King!” (Please note: Greyson knows of my Ramsay fascination. He’s okay with it. He feels the same about Katy Perry. Please also note: I like Kitchen Nightmares and Master Chef better than Hell’s Kitchen, but that’s the one that comes on in the summer. Beggars can’t be choosers. Is that an English saying?)
- A cute, funny Sesame Street shirt: Okay, see, we want to take Charlotte to Sesame Street Live! soon. We even discussed tailgating outside the arena before the show with our friends and their toddler. Hey, we’re gonna need a beer if we have to sit through that. The kids can have Goldfish and juice boxes. Charlotte already loves Cornhole, but we’d like her to brush up before football season. I want to wear this one to the big show.
I’m quite certain Greyson will want me to wear this one…
- A new laptop: I’ve barely started shopping. I’ll take your recommendations.
- This necklace with my monogram: It’s by Moon and Lola and I’ve had my eye on it forever.
- This Lilly Pulitzer bag: Yes, it’s my sorority’s pattern. I don’t care that I’m a 30-year-old. Carrying this bag is my refusal to grow up. Besides, this is a crazy cute bag.
- A trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Eeeek! I want to drink Butter Beer, wave my wand from Ollivander’s and skip through Hogwarts. But, I surely don’t want to go in the coming months. Florida in the summer?! No thanks. Greyson and I may plan a trip this fall, sans toddler. I want to be a kid with my husband. I solemnly swear we will be up to no good.
Upon reviewing this list of things I think about all the time I came to a conclusion. I AM A NERD! Seriously. Only a seriously geeky girl would want these things.
No lie. I was playing around with this "glasses" effect and thought, "Oooh! These look like Harry's! I'll put them on Charlotte!" (See, nerd.)
Spread it around:
I just wanted to say that i also have an Obsession with Gordon Ramsay! he cracks me up! plus he’s an amazing chef! I totally can’t wait till Hell’s Kitchen starts up again!also i think Master Chef is gonna be on soon too and im pretty sure he’ll be back on there too! yippe!
Thank you Kate! It’s nice to know other chicks dig foul-mouthed Brits, too.
No no no no no no no no!!!
Gordon Ramsay is not English!
Jeez us H Christ!!! I can only assume that you are out in the colonies where Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish are all interchangeable with English.
Now, this would be like me telling a Canadian he was an American or vice – versa, after all it doesn’t really matter does it? Or dies it, hell yes it matters. What does your education system actually teach you people in terms of world geography and culture?
I suppose you loved Mel Gibson, that well known American actor played the Englishman William Wallace so well in Bravefart as well?
