I've been wondering for a while, so have to ask. What is "hump day"? With the hottie connection it seems kind of obvious, but perhaps I'm missing something.
Good choice! She is so pretty!
Lydia ~ Hump day means Wednesday. The middle of the work week. Once we get past Wednesday we are on the downward slope of the week heading towards the weekend.
Also known as Clinton Day.
Tara ~ I LOVED her and Kiera Knightly in Bend It Like Beckham. I own the movie.
Lydia, don't worry, the first time I heard "hump day" I was kind of taken aback. Then they explained that it was Wednesday--you're over the "hump" and headed to Friday. Why couldn't they have just called it "hill day" or something? :)
Rachel - nice work. Switching it up. A hottie for everyone, not just us girls. Although I do have to say, I was hoping for a guy....hey, on ER doesn't she work with Dr. Kovach? grrrrrrowl. lol. :)
LOL.... FG ~ We will do a male hottie based only on looks next week. Sound good?
Yay!!!!!!
Good pick! - I thought she did a great job in Bend it Like Beckham. I had no idea that she is now on ER.
Thanks for the explanation, Rachel and Funny Girl. It all makes sense now. lol at Clinton Day!
