Hello and happy Memorial Day weekend! Today is my first Summer Friday! TNP gives us alternating Fridays off during the summer, one of the best perks of working there. But it’s chilly and rainy, so no beach for me. I…
Friday 5: Watch your phraseology
It’s Friday! Whoop whoop! The weather here has been absolutely decadent, with highs in the high 70s/low 80s and scant humidity. I had a blog post set up for Wednesday but never took it out of draft mode. Murphy’s vet…
Friday 5: Frozen Water
It’s the lunch-time cram edition of the Friday 5 – this week’s theme is Frozen Water. Which is ice. Ice. Baby. Yo VIP, let’s kick it! In what area of your life are you skating on thin ice?I have now…
Friday 5: Self-care
This week is TNP’s annual conference which is being held online. It’s a very ambitious program with a mix of live workshops and prerecorded sessions with live chat and as of this writing at lunchtime on the last day, everything’s…
Friday 5: RE:
Time for some lunchtime blogging! I worked for about 5 hours last Sunday, so this workweek officially is 6 days long yet feels 10 days long. This lunch break is an hour long but feels 5 minutes long. Rude. Here’s…
Friday 5: Aca-scuse me?
Hello and happy Friday, friends! I write to you while camped on the sofa in waves of pain. Today is Nephew A’s SEVENTH birthday! Can you even believe this? I cannot. And the lovely Kristen and my brother-who-does-not-read-my-blog rented a…
Friday 5: III III III III III
I’m highly editing this first paragraph on Saturday the 10th because I didn’t add my usual linking! The Duke flustered me, I guess. This week’s Friday 5 theme is: III III III III III. I am trying to understand the…
Friday 5: Obstacle Course
This week has completely flown. I feel like other than work, I have nothing to show for it. What have I done? Here’s a few trivial things: I moved my yoga practice to mornings instead of after work. I hate…
Friday 5: Twelve Months
HI! This post is dark and sad and angry, okay? So if that would upset you (looks at family) maybe you should come back in a few days when I post pictures of my little seedlings, okay? If you’re here…
Friday 5: Just Vegging
Happy Friday! Today is my half-birthday. Huzzah huzzah. I don’t celebrate it but I’ve mentally observed it since I was a kid. This year I marked it by going to the doctor’s office to have my left ear looked at…
Friday 5: A Clubhouse Ain’t Nothing but a Sandwich
Guess what I did today? I was supposed to receive the first jab last week but the winter storm postponed my appointment until today. Even though I did not jump the line (I have moderate asthma and of course the…
Friday 5: Big Game
It’s Super Bowl weekend! I will never stop laughing at how the NFL made a big stink about who can use the term Super Bowl to describe this weekend’s game, and as a result most brands can say The Big…
