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!
- Follow the lead of others and all you’ll see are arses.
- 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).
- To achieve your goals, you must work for them. Rewards don’t come without work.
- I have a need for a relaxing vacation. But I won’t get one anytime soon.
- Hope floats. (Incidentally, B is in that movie as an extra… he’s one of the marching band members at the end!)
- 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.

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

It’s time for… Friday Fill-ins!
- 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.
- Ignorant and bigoted/racist people scare me.
- Leaves are falling all around, it’s time for me to bundle up for the next eight months of cold weather.
- 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.
- Childhood = good memories.
- It was a dark and stormy night is the only part of Snoopy’s novel that he ever wrote.
- 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.
