Five things Friday...

Five things I did and didn't do this Friday.

1.  I did...help Carey put up a giant spider web for Halloween at Kasey's house.
     I didn't...remember to take my camera, so this photo is from a few years ago, but you get the gist.

2.  I did...read.
     I didn't...finish my last book.  Blech.  Gave up on it.

3.  I did...pay bills.
     I didn't...enjoy it.

4.  I did...buy something for Christmas online.
     I didn't...want to spend the money, so I went back in and cancelled the order before it went through.

5.  I did...cook dinner.
     I didn't...do the dishes...but Carey did.  :)

5 things Friday...

My week in a snapshot...or five snapshots.

Monday: Listening to an NPR story piqued my interest to look up the journalist online.  I'll bet people don't forget her name...though they may forget it on their shopping list.

Tuesday:  Quiet day at work...made a couple of cards (actually stationery) using copy paper and clip art.

Wednesday:  Another quiet day, so I kept a sheet of graph paper handy to sketch out an idea for some quilt blocks.  I blurred them below...just in case I decide to do something with them someday.

Thursday:  Though Chloe's theater class is over for the school year, we decided we would still like to hang out together on Thursday afternoons.

Friday:  Carey's truck radio was not factory installed, and there was no manual included when he bought the truck.  Today I took a photo of it so that I would remember to look online for a manual to download, because the nonsensical scrolling messages it flashes drive me nuts.

5 good things...

1.  Blue skies and sunshine.

2.  Budding trees.

3.  Feeling creative.

4.  Laughing SO hard.

5.  A clear schedule.

Five things that make me happy, and one thing that's pissing me off...

Five things that make me happy?

1. Downton Abbey

2.  DVR so that I can watch episodes of Downton Abbey on Monday when I miss it on Sunday.

3.  My husband's Popeye the Sailor Man ringtone on my phone.  :)

4.  My Ninja Slow Cooker.

5.  Wool socks to sleep in.

...and then there is...

Fresh laundry...when I forget to take it out of the dryer and the wrinkles are good and set in.  Now I have to run it through a rinse cycle and dry cycle again.  I'm not really an ironing kind of girl.  My 38-year-old iron is practically brand new.  HA!
