Happy Friday! Today is National Paper Clip Day (My favorite is Clippy) and National Coq Au Vin Day (pretty tasty!). It was also a working Summer Friday, which are delightfully quiet. I worked at a coffeeshop this morning to keep me from going feral.
I am excited because June, beautiful June, is almost here. ‘Til then, here’s the Friday 5. It’s theme is Chipping In.
1. When did you last split the cost of something with someone?
I had to check my Venmo record, but on Nephew A’s birthday I sent the lovely Kristen some money to cover desserts, which were from the Cheesecake Factory. My favorite dessert at the Cheesecake Factory is not a cheesecake! It’s actually Linda’s Fudge Cake, a very good chocolate cake!
2. When did you last contribute to some kind of non-work-related group project?
I had to go back a few years, but I was on the MetaFilter steering committee for a spell.
3. What did you do yesterday to make the world a better place?
I was going to say nothing, but WM reminded me that I took a walk with him after work and he really loves that.
4. When did someone give you an uninvited bit of advice?
Every. Freaking. Day.
5. In what way do you refuse to conform these days?
No GLP-1s. No Botox (although oh boy I am tempted to try a lip flip), no fillers, no eye lift, no hair extensions, nothing. Except for hair dye, I’m aging normally. And the hair dye is only because I don’t yet have enough cool gray hair to counter my dingy natural hair color. If I had more, I’d go gray too. I’m stepping fully into my Crone Era.
I am off on Monday, so this is a long weekend for me! We might go to the NJ Ren Faire tomorrow. Or I might just hang around the house. I chose not to have a veggie garden this year and it has freed up a lot of time.
