Greetings friends! It's been awhile since I've contributed to the posts
here at the revgalblogpals website, but I agreed to step into the Fifth
Friday of the Month Friday Five slot.
So here I be.
As I
zip around the webring it is quite clear that we are getting BUSY. "Tis
the season" when clergy and laypeople alike walk the highwire from Fall
programming to Christmas carrying their balancing pole with family/rest
on the one side and turkey shelters/advent wreaths on the other.
And so I offer this Friday Five with 5 quick hit questions... and a bonus:
1) Your work day is done and the brain is fried, what do you do?
PLOP DOWN at home in the recliner and turn the laptop on, and close my eyes to rest them... and then I snooze.
2) Your work week is done and the brain is fried (for some Friday, others Sunday afternoon), what do you do?
Refer to #1 unless it is Sunday afternoon. I also watch "In Concert" and Diane Bish. I am such a dork.
3) Like most of us, I often keep myself busy even while programs are on the tv. I stop to watch The Office and 30 Rock
on Thursday nights. Do you have 'stop everything' tv programming or
books or events or projects that are totally 'for you' moments?
Dorkiness continues with Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, and I really like to watch the LOCAL NEWS that I have watched since I was a child. However, other than that I am not much of a tv watcher, but if there IS something on there that I want US to watch, get out of my may and watch my nose get out of joint if it doesn't happen.
4) When was the last time you laughed, really laughed? What was so funny?
I was at a concert last week of Russian Balalaika players. I saw one of my students and went to say hello to him. He looked up at me and had this LOOK. And then he said (and it was said as if it was one word... whaddayoudoinhere? ) HE KNEW I DId not BELONG ANYWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN SCHOOL - HE KNOWS I LIVE, EAT, AND SLEEP at school. He isn't supposed to see me any other place. He really wanted me to go - I was out of place!
5) What is a fairly common item that some people are willing to go cheap on, but you are not.
SHOES. They cannot hurt my feet. Period.
Bonus:
It's become trite but is also true that we often benefit the most when
we give. Go ahead, toot your own horn. When was the last time you gave
until it felt good?
I put 20 dollars in the collection plate because I said whatever I pull out of my wallet, I would give. The 20 dollar bill showed up.
Really and truly though, I do enjoy going on Tuesdays to help with the Backpack program where we fill up backpacks to distribute on Fridays to targeted students who we believe might benefit from extra food over the weekend. That feels REALLY GOOD. And I take all the materials which can be recycled back to our school to be recycled.
Ok, tooted horn..... Someone toot theirs in the comments please! When is the last time you tooted horn?
Let us know in the comments if you played and I'll come around and visit. The first 50 are entered into a drawing for a new car (sorry, that's a lie. We are immersed in political attack ads here in the US that lie and so I thought I would join in). Seriously, go ahead and let us know if you play. I will visit. And buy you a new house (lie). The last person to do the Friday Five is a socialist and hangs out with computer viruses (STOP!).
As always, comments and programming on this station do not
necessarily represent the view and values of the revgalblogpals website
or its associates. If you are an American citizen please vote by
Tuesday or your computer will self destruct in 5 seconds...
