Happy Friday. It’s been a week at the House on Literary Lane, as Murphy has been battling a digestive issue since last week. I took him to the vet last night (third visit in six days) for an ultrasound. While…
Friday 5: Rising Sun
Happy Friday! Today is National Dress in Blue Day (for colon cancer awareness) and Day of the Dude, which commemorates the release of The Big Lebowski. I adore that film. If I were ranking the hardest I’ve laughed in my…
Friday 5: Icons
Happy Friday! Today is National Pokemon Day (happy 30th, Pikachu) and National Retro Day. Speaking of retro, do you know what I miss? I miss owning music. I’ve been slowly ripping my MP3s back onto CDs, and I think I’m…
Friday 5: A frayed knot
Happy Friday! Today is National Leadership Day (ugghghhghg), National Muffin Day (blueberry, chocolate chip, lemon), and National Comfy Day, which is observed every day here in our House on Literary Lane. I’ve moved my citizenship from Pantsuit Nation to Sweatpant…
Friday 5: Implementation
Happy Friday! Today is National Cheddar Day (sharp, please), National Tortellini Day (yum!), and Mom’s birthday! I took today off from work because I’m trying to not be in the position where I have to burn a bunch of vacation…
Friday 5: The body electric
Happy Friday! Today is National Chopstick Day (I’m not great with chopsticks, but I can use them) and National Bubble Gum Day (I was a Way Out Watermelon Bubblicious girl). Holy hell, what a week. Everything’s difficult and the world…
Friday 5: ECHO! Echo! echo!
Happy Friday! Today is National Fun at Work Day (I always enjoyed cheesy work activities) and National Big Wig Day, a perfect way to memorialize Catherine O’Hara who died today at 71 years old. She was smart, glamorous, and so…
Friday 5: No cap
Happy Friday! Today is National Security Technician Day (okay), and National Handwriting Day (mine is terrible). And it is my 14th anniversary at TNP, which is freaking wild. Never in a million years did I think I’d still be here…
Friday 5: It’s been a while
It has been, hasn’t it? Happy Friday! Today is National Fig Newton Day (No. No, absolutely not. Never. Disgusting.) and National Without a Scalpel Day, which celebrates minimally invasive procedures, apparently. But it’s been a while. Things are not great…
Friday 5: A fresh start
Happy Friday! Today is National Cream Puff Day (they’re not bad) and National Buffet Day. Let’s talk about this. I LOVE a buffet and we really don’t have a lot of good buffets around. Or even middling buffets. Years ago…
Friday 5: Superlatives, Part 3
Hey! While the Friday 5 questions were still posted while it was still Friday in their timezone, on East Coast USA it was past my bedtime. I wrote the first half of this yesterday (Friday) and am answering the questions…
Friday 5: Superlatives, part 2
Happy Friday! Today is National Oatmeal Muffin Day (I prefer blueberry and corn muffins over oatmeal) and National Hard Candy Day. (“Lord, it’s like a hard candy Christmas, I’m barely getting throooooooooooooooooooough tomorrow…”) It was a pretty good week. Yesterday…
