Friday Fill-ins: 4th Edition

Friday, October 17, 2008

Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.
~John Shirley

It’s time for…  Friday Fill-ins!

  1. Follow the lead of others and all you’ll see are arses.
  2. My own hand-made satin pillowcase is something I always take with me on vacation. (I hate laying my head on pillows so many others have shared).
  3. To achieve your goals, you must work for them. Rewards don’t come without work.
  4. I have a need for a relaxing vacation.  But I won’t get one anytime soon.
  5. Hope floats. (Incidentally, B is in that movie as an extra… he’s one of the marching band members at the end!)
  6. As for the weekend, I’m looking forward to having a bonfire at our executive director’s house, tomorrow my plans include caulking windows and finishing a side project, and Sunday I want to get up on my roof and replace some shingles.

Friday Fill-ins: 3rd Edition

Friday, October 3, 2008

Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.
~Bill Watterson

It’s time for…  Friday Fill-ins!

  1. October is an expensive month for me.  My car registration is due, both my dogs have to have their annual shots and this year Chase has to have a dental and it’s my mom’s birthday… and it used to be my dad’s.
  2. Ignorant and bigoted/racist people scare me.
  3. Leaves are falling all around, it’s time for me to bundle up for the next eight months of cold weather.
  4. My favorite horror movie is The Shining because I’ve visited the Stanley Hotel and because that’s one of the only horror movies I’ve watched–I hate them.
  5. Childhood = good memories.
  6. It was a dark and stormy night is the only part of Snoopy’s novel that he ever wrote.
  7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to going to my mom’s house, tomorrow my plans include meeting my recruiter and going to a friend’s wedding, and Sunday I want to relax, but I might be going to a memorial service for a co-worker’s wife instead.
