Happy Friday! It’s Valentine’s Day! It’s also National Cream Filled Chocolates Day (yes to all but raspberry), National Organ Donor Day (take it all, I won’t need it) and National Ferris Wheel Day. I LOVE Ferris Wheels and I hope to add another to my collection in just a few weeks.
TNP closed today for the Eagles Parade. We’re not in the office anymore, but I guess a lot of people were requesting the day off. I worked for a few hours anyway because when figuring out how and when I had to move projects along, I didn’t plan on having today off. I *did* mentally budget to have Monday off though.
We also had one of our trees taken down today. The entire job took only four and a half hours from arrival to cleanup. I will miss the tree so much (fact: I’ve been crying about this tree for weeks), but it was the right time to have it cut down. If you’re in the SJ area, we used Ryan Bansky and I recommend them 100%. I’m adulting like a pro now, I guess having a house with multiple systems that require maintenance does that to you.
Here’s the Friday 5! This week’s theme is Step by Step and you KNOW I would be remiss if I didn’t add this:
NKOTB 4 LYFE.
- When did you most recently follow a recipe?
I followed recipes for some of the new Christmas cookies I made in December. - When did you most recently give or receive directions to some location?
A few weeks ago I painted pottery w/S and I had Google Maps take me to the studio, which is in Pitman, NJ. - When did you most recently follow instructions for assembling something?
I have an Ondrej Palat brick kit that I partially assembled before becoming frustrated and shoving it back into the box. I found a tip which said to use tape to keep the base steady and I’m going to give it a shot again this weekend. - When did you most recently complete a form?
I had my quarterly performance evaluation two weeks ago. Know your worth. - When did you most recently have your routine disrupted?
Today when I had this unscheduled day off and the tree guys came! I’m all disoriented!
And I’m off on Monday too so it’s a Four! Day! Weekennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd! (even though I’ll probably log in on Sunday or Monday to work. It’s like that right now)
I almost used a lyric from that song as the title this week. When I worked in a summer fun program a million years ago, the second-grade girls taught me how to sing it on a long bus ride to some faraway beach. I still know it by heart. And one of those girls is a respected physician and athletic trainer at the university where I work. 🙂
Aw!! I’m proud of my fellow Blockhead! <3
An Ondrej Palat brick kit? Where did you find that?! I need one of those… just not for the Devils. I didn’t know such a think existed! I would die of happiness if I could find a Henrik Lundqvist one.
Hi! Unfortunately it was a giveaway at a Devils game a few weeks ago. I live a few hours away so I had to resort to eBay.
