Happy Friday! Today is National Coconut Cream Pie Day (not my favorite but I wouldn’t turn down a slice) and National Student Nurse Day (in this house, we love healthcare providers). It’s also the Friday before Mother’s Day and it’s…
Friday 5: What fools these mortals be!
Happy Friday! Today is New Kids on the Block Day. This has been carved into my brain since April 24, 1989, when Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis (still alive!) declared it to be so. I can’t remember what I walked into…
Friday 5 on a Saturday Morning: Plus or Minus
Good morning and happy, um, Saturday. I know, I know. But I’ve been sick all week and last night once I logged out of work yesterday, I logged out from the rest of the evening as well. I’m feeling a…
Friday 5: Come go with me
Happy Friday! Today is National Siblings Day (happy siblings day, JD3), National Farm Animals Day (e-i-e-i-o), and National Erase Self Negativity Day, brought you by Pilot Pen. This week was only a 3 day work week for me, which was…
Friday 5: Three bags fool
Happy Friday! Today is National Film Score Day (I don’t have a favorite but WM’s is, naturally, Raiders of the Lost Ark), and National Tweed Day (dashing, but not for me.) It’s also TNP’s official “office holiday” to celebrate another…
Friday 5: Freestyling!
Happy Friday! Today is National Joe Day (always relevant), and National Scribble Day (a holiday about my penmanship?). It’s also the day before I fly to Nashville for TNP’s Annual Conference. I’m packed and ready and hoping the TSA lines…
Friday 5: Wanderlust
Happy Friday! I’m tossing aside the usual National Day discourse because today, my friends, is the first day of spring here in the Northern Hemisphere. It has been a long, cold winter. I’m the best version of myself in spring…
Friday 5: Toy stories
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…
