WOO! It’s FABULOUS FRIDAY!
Okay, so it’s actually a fairly NORMAL Friday, but I don’t really feel like that’s sufficient, do you?
No — I want bells and whistles and fireworks and overpriced coffees and treats and puppies and penguins and magical things that make my heart sing and give me spontaneous pedicures! THAT’S JUST ABOUT EXACTLY PERFECT, WOULDN’T YOU SAY?
I’m not really sure how to make this happen. But it occurs to me that I should try.
SO! A list of things that I think are fabulous RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND:
- The possiblity of lunch! LUNCH! IMAGINE! I DON’T EVEN DO LUNCH!
- Advil — BECAUSE IT HELPS
- Dumb sports movies!
- MY HOCKEY POOL IS BACK FOR 2006-2007!
- Really dumb love poems that work anyhow
- Nail buffers!
- My lemon-vanilla lotion (I SMELL LIKE THE INSIDE OF A COOKIE!)
- The pink flower on my desk has survived a WHOLE WEEK
- If I close my eyes, I can totally imagine getting a massage
- I just finished something big!
- I love Vox!
- My street was blocked off by police cars today!
- Bronzer! Because I looked anemic before I put it on! Because I am anemic!
- TEXT MESSAGING! WOO!
- Corrine Bailey Rae!
- Thai red curry!
- The small dance I just did in Erin’s office
- LOVE! LOVE IS AWESOME!
- Jenn’s birthday is this weekend! ACTUALLY, IT’S TODAY! But her party is this weekend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN! (Everyone make sure to say that in the comments, or I’ll flail at you.)
- And… you guys! You guys are awesome!
SO!
Because you are awesome, here are your four tasks:
- Think of something nice to do for someone, without getting thanks for it or anything like that, and do it. Then report back and tell us what it was. It can be ANYTHING at all.
- Give us FIVE FABULOUS THINGS RIGHT THIS SECOND.
- Grin as hard as you can in the general direction of your monitor or screen. Thank you.
- Get me a coffee! Okay, I know you can’t. But STILL! WOOHOO! Nice thought, huh?
Yay! Now for some happy images:
I WANT ONE OF THESE:
AND TO GO HERE:
WHILE DRINKING THIS:
WHILE HE STANDS OUTSIDE WAITING…
WAITING TO SEND ME TO GET ONE OF THESE…
AND THEN GO HERE…
WHERE I CAN BUY THESE AT THE OUTLET ON THE WAY…
AND GET PEACHES HERE…
AND ACCIDENTALLY BUMP INTO…
And I’m not telling you what happens then.

The other questions aside, I actually did smile as big as I could at the screen, and without thinking. I feel rather sheepish, but I bet you liked knowing that I did it!
August 25th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
That is the gorgeous Curtis Stone of Take-Home Chef. I WISH HE WAS THE GROCERY AISLE GUY.
August 25th, 2006 at 4:53 pm
Happy Birthday Jenn! You’re lucky to have Meg as a friend.
I bought my sister a latte this morning.
Summer nights, Bishop Allen cds, TiVo, my dog, true friends
I feel really foolish for smiling at my screen.
It is a nice thought and I would get you one if I could.
It is totally my dream to have Curtis Stone (or Josh Duhamel) (or Jake Gyllenhaal) rubbing my feet while reading me the new Sephora catalog. Yum.

Is it my tendencey to swear in my comments that is causing the need for moderation?
If so, I feel sheepish.
August 25th, 2006 at 6:19 pm
Ashley, I swear all the time. No — it’s your tendency to use the word “nice” or any other number of spam words I put into the filter:). Don’t worry, kiddo — I always approve you!!

hAppY bIrThdaY JENN!
(have an uNusuAl 1!)
Do you want to Take Home Curtis too! :)
He’s more delicious than the dinners he makes!

The chef guy puts too much fruit into his cooking. i don’t like so much sweet with my savoury (if you know what i am talking about and i think you don’t, nor do i).
i got to nibble baby toes today, and pet guinea pigs! and goats! and ducks! and i saw a tiger at the zoo! AND I had ice cream! then a nap.
plus we have found each other, (you and i, i mean), and that makes me REALLY happy.
have a great weekend Meg.
Happy birthday Jenn

hey… i thought you were going to stop deleting posts. ?!?
August 28th, 2006 at 11:17 am
You mean my whiny posts about being injured this weekend:)? Yeah. I didn’t think anyone would miss them.
August 28th, 2006 at 2:00 pm
but, how can i ask how your feeling of the post is gone? :(
August 28th, 2006 at 2:12 pm
Why, just like that! :)
I’m at work and doing okay — muscle relaxants help a lot, though it takes extra focus to actually get stuff done. But I’d rather press at that than deal with sharp pains.
