10 Reasons My Day Will Be FAB!

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."- Coco Chanel

1. My Mom and I are Going Shopping Tonight!
Now, granted, we aren't buying anything for me--and I don't get to spend any money...BUT...nothing is better to me than a good shopping trip! Even if it is for the occasion of buying new pillows and throws for the furniture. Shopping is one of the many things that I truly love! ♥


2. My Weight Loss Goal! So I woke up this morning and weighed myself and I am one whole pound closer to my weight loss goal: 115 lbs! Only 9 more pounds to go! Yay me!

3. Victoria's Secret Swim 2010 Line!

I loooove some of the new swimsuits at Victoria's Secret this season! The best part- most of them are totally affordable. Below are a few of my favs!

Gotta love the cheeky bottom! I would like it in green with white polka dots with a matching- or not so matching, actually- floral top!

I just love this one with the cute bandeau top. The colors are great too!

Victoria's Secret has a new Neon line! I love it! It feels so 80's! I love this swimsuit. This might just be the one I purchase!

4. The Website: Things to Be Happy About!

So I was googling random stuff today and came across this website. I love it! It's so joyful and pleasant. I officially bookmarked it and probably will visit it every day. Today's things to be happy about:

• the stacks of a major library
• a box of original 64 Crayolas- this really does make me happy!
• walking shoes
• colored file folders
• paid bills- this definitely does!
• burning logs

http://www.thingstobehappyabout.com/ -- You absolutely must visit!

5. Only Six More Weeks of Winter!

So what that Phil saw his lousy shadow, spring will still arrive before my birthday! I seriously can't wait for warmer weather. I have been forced to wear waaaaay more clothes than I would like to!

6. And Speaking of My Birthday...46 Days Until My Birthday!

Oh yeah, I'm counting down! My birthday is the best holiday around...and basically it lasts the ENTIRE month of March. But, the actual day I was born has a certain air of distinction.

7. Dictionary.com's Word of the Day!

I love dictionary.com. Looking up new words is truly fascinating to me. Every morning I get an e-mail with the "Word of the Day". I silently repeat it to myself five times with hopes of using it in a sentence one day. Today's word was:

pecuniary \pih-KYOO-nee-air-ee\, adjective:

1. Relating to money; monetary.
2. Consisting of money.
3. Requiring payment of money.

My sentence: I wish I didn't have so many pecuniary troubles!

8. I'm Going to Pick Up My Newly Resized Christmas Ring This Evening!

Boyfriend got me a beautiful ring for Christmas! Unfortunately, it was too big for my finger--as is most all jewelry. I get to get it back today though, and I am super excited! It's been gone for about 3 weeks!

9. Tomorrow is Friday!

Really, that's enough said as it is. But, Fridays are super important to me because I get to go see my boo. Granted, I am reluctant about that 4 hour drive--but nonetheless, it's going to be a great weekend.

10. I Get to Eat My Two Favorite Leftovers for Supper!

Last night I had supper with a good friend of mine and we went to one of my ABSOLUTE favorite chain restaurants- Buffalo Wild Wings. I basically love everything about this place. For starters, the atmosphere is great. It's very much a sports bar- so there are big screen TVs everywhere that are always playing the game. They also have trivia going on constantly, and you can request a buzzer thingy and play along with other people in the restaurant right from your table. Very fun if you have a competitive spirit! But most importantly, the food is AMAZING and they have the most awesome selection of beers- with many of my favorites on draft!

I always get the same thing- the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap. It is delicious! It just has a simple flour tortilla filled with fried chicken tenders cut up and tossed with Buffalo Wild Wings signature Medium sauce and ranch dressing (which, by the way, is the WORLD's BEST ranch), lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese! Very simplistic but completely to die for! I also get the Buffalo Chips topped with queso, extra Medium sauce, and about five ranch dressings! As you can see- I'm not very health-conscious.

Because I am so fond of these wraps, I decided to create a recipe for them so I could make them at home. Granted- they aren't the same- but they're close enough since the closest Buffalo Wild Wings is 45 minutes away from me! The recipe is shown below. Also- Buffalo Wild Wings sells their sauce online I've just noticed. I will definitely be placing an order for some of my favorite Medium sauce in the next month! Their website is: http://www.buffalowildwings.com/.

Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap

3-4 fried chicken strips chopped in small pieces (you can make your own or just buy Tyson)

1/2 cup Buffalo Wild Wings Medium sauce

1/4 cup ranch dressing

shredded lettuce

tomato (diced)

shredded cheddar cheese

1 large tortilla

Directions:

Wrap tortilla in damp (not wet) paper towel and place in microwave for approximately 10 seconds, or until warm. Brush tortilla lightly with melted butter. Toss chopped chicken strips in hot sauce and ranch dressing. Add lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese to chicken mixture. Place a medium amount of mixture in center of tortilla. Fold sides of tortilla up like you would a burrito. Cut down center. Serve with extra hot sauce and ranch. Enjoy!

Ok so back to why this is on my "10 Reasons Today is Going to be Fabulous list"...I have an entire half of my buffalo chicken wrap left over from last night--not to mention about three ranches and half of my medium sauce. I can't wait for supper tonight!

Notice, though, that I did say supper. That's right- I have something EVEN BETTER to have for lunch today! After I ate at Buffalo Wild Wings last night I went ahead and swung by Blimpie and picked up a foot long salami sub--my most favorite sandwich in the world, as I mentioned before--that I will be enjoying today for lunch.

In conclusion, basically, you have a right to be jealous of me today. My life is completely fabulous! :)
