Happy Friday, which is also National Homemade Bread Day and, fittingly, National Butter Day. I wonder if they planned that. We are a multi-butter household. WM prefers Country Crock spread, and I prefer Kerrygold in a butter bell on the…
When it’s time to change, you’ve got to rearrange
Wow! Hello! Happy Friday! It’s been a hot minute. Here’s a catchup: My knee is at 95% and is giving me no trouble aside from a pang every once in a while. I’m fortunate to have a job where I…
Friday 5: Lessons
Happy Friday, which is also National Breadstick Day and National Black Cat Day. I had a black cat for about a month waaayyy back when I was married to BvP and we were still in the apartment. We named him…
friday 5: capitalizing on opportunity
Hello and happy Friday! It is also National No Bra Day (I celebrate that most days) and National Yorkshire Pudding Day. It’s also the day that Murphy somehow broke/loosened his front tooth. I think he chased a critter across the…
Friday 5: Boo!
Happy Friday! I *could* say that it’s also National Orange Wine Day (wha?) or National Chocolate Covered Pretzel Day (mmm!) but nope. Today is the birthday of my sister-in-law, the lovely Kristen! She is a bright light and a joy…
Friday 5: Gang aft agley
Happy Friday, which is National Coffee Day, National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and National VFW Day. (A VFW is a great place to get a cheap beer, if you know someone who can get you in.) I don’t make…
Friday 5: Don’t tip the boat over
Happy Friday, friends! It’s also National Ice Cream Cone Day, Car Free Day (I take public transit at every opportunity, but I also think the car free movement can be unrealistic) and American Business Woman’s Day. I’m observing that day…
Friday 5: Happy hour
Oh my geez, it’s cliched but TGIF. I mentally limped toward the finish line this week. If you don’t mind, I’m skipping right to the Friday 5 this week. The theme is Happy hour and I’m here for that! I’m…
Friday 5: Kickoff
A chaotic Friday morning + an in-person board meeting this afternoon + a small birthday celebration this evening = a very late and short Friday 5 post. This week’s theme is: Kickoff. Let’s go!
Friday 5: More questions about our favorite topic
Rabbit rabbit! Happy September, which, blah. Even though it continues to be actual, official summer through September 22, I am trying to switch myself into an autumnal mindset. Today is also National Forgiveness Day (I forgive, I do not forget),…
Friday 5: Until it hurts
Happy Friday, and my last official Summer Friday of the season. Booooo! I’m not down the shore because it’s been raining off and on all day both here and there. Instead, WM and I had breakfast at a lovely twee…
Friday 5: Career Day
Happy Friday, friends! Today is National Mail Order Catalog Day (I miss those) and National Fajita Day (I prefer tacos now.) I’ve had a mentally jangly few weeks for no explanation and I finally feel it ebbing. What’s been helping…
