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…
Friday 5: Superlatives Part 1
Happy Friday, Friends! Today is the Friday after TNP’s holiday party, National Ambrosia Day (yum!) and National Ding-a-Ling Day (hey John!). It’s also the final workday of a really nice workweek! On Tuesday I went to yoga class and we…
Friday 5: Labor
Happy Friday! Today is National Repeal Day honoring the end of Prohibition and Bathtub Party Day. I do have a tub and I have never taken a bath in it, even though I love taking baths in hotels. I’m a…
Friday 5: That time of year
Happy Friday! It is Black Friday and, while it’s technically Buy Nothing Day, I absolutely did not observe that. Mom and I went out to participate in some of the tomfoolery. We started at Kohl’s, headed to Cherry Hill Mall…
