miscellany monday

happy monday ladies – i’ve added my random ramblings to carissa’s miscellany monday party!  check out carissa’s blog below and join in on the fun. 

{one}time change. i don’t know about you guys, but i’m happy to have gained an extra hour of sleep.  i’m not loving the fact that it’s pitch black outside at 6pm, but i love my sleep. 

{two} monday night football.  anyone that knows me knows that i love football.  i look forward to football season and i’m always pretty sad to see the season end.  i prefer college football over nfl, but i watch it and enjoy it all.  the florida gators are my favorite college team and philadelphia eagles and green bay are my favorite nfl teams.  and since i live in florida i usually root   i usually work on the weekends, so i can’t always catch the games.  however, i’m always able to catch some monday night football.  who’s playing tonight? its steelers vs. bengals….i’m pretty sure that the steelers will take it home, but you never know.  i usually root for the underdog when it’s not my team…so it will be interesting if bengals pull out a win tonight. 

{three}  anthropologie sale.  so…i wonder if anthro is going to have a sale tomorrow now that there is free shipping.  i’ve already taken advantage this offer one time so far…i’m sure that there will be more shipments to come.  yikes!

{four} veterans day.  if you are like me, you may know someone who is currently serving or who has previously served in the military.  in september, my brother-in-law left for afghanistan for 1 year, leaving my sister, my 2 nieces and nephew waiting patiently for his return.  it was so hard to see the little ones so sad and confused.  i was just telling my boyfriend, that we should do so much more to show our appreciation for our troops.  with that being said, i wanted to share some information regarding amazing discounts and freebies for our troops:
