How to have a Fabulous Friday...

Listen to some music you love. Today, I’m listening to Jane Monheit’s “Taking a Chance on Love” cd. I plan on also listening to some Diana Krall, and Linda Rondstadt and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. I’m feeling romantically classic today.

Wear something you love. Friday, being casual day – I’m definitely dressed comfortable. Of course, my accessories always include a pair of fun boots – and a fuzzy, colorful scarf.

Don’t let things affect you. Friday is the end of the week – the portal to the weekend. Nothing, can be so “mission critical” at work that it interferes with your mood for today. Make your mantra for today be: “I’m so out of here come 3pm….” For me – I’m out of here at 1:15pm today. I get to take my littlest one to the pediatricians for her 15 month appointment – and I’m looking forward to it.

Do something fun. Whether you’re married, single – or otherwise occupied, do something fun tonight. Go out with your friends, stay at home and snuggle…or be completely alone, read a book and take a bath (with a glass of wine, of course…). I’ll be having dinner with two of my girlfriends (the Amy’s) and having some always, well deserved laughs.

(If you have a chance, please visit my girlfriend Karla and wish her luck. She and my girlfriend Kathy are competing in Michigan this weekend at a karate tournament that I was supposed to be at, but I was unable to go due to a scheduling conflict. Thanks!)

Celebrate, enjoy – and have a Fabulous Friday!

I've been a frequent visitor to your blog but have never posted ~ for no particular reason. I always feel like an intrusion for that first post. I know that's silly in blog world, but that's just me.

Anyway, with Clew's possible hiatus, I feel like my link to you will also be severed.

I really enjoy your writing and don't want that to happen. So here is my first comment on your blog. :)

Now that you mention it, I think I will have myself a good weekend. I couldn't do anything all that fun tonight, because I had to go to class... but I have a bunch of new friends at school, and I get to see them, and that is a good thing.

You have a good one, too. I shall wear my fuzzy scarf in honor of you.

I don't get a weekend this time. So you have to enjoy one for me.

Karate tournament? We have something else in common. What style?

Jerry - the imagination is a powerful thing.... :)

Cheryl - :) Nothing like a soft and fuzzy scarf, a cup of coffee...and some laughs.

BWH: No weekend? How come?
Yes, I believe it's traditional japanese karate, Botoku Kai. I'm only going to be testing for a white belt with one or two yellow stripes after the competition. I thought the competition I was missing was for a belt, but it's not...so my friends and I are testing when they get back. So, I'm very, very much a beginner. But I love it. I train for boxing as well - and that I love too.

Love your top 100 list. Did you read mine? I think they are archived, somewhere on mine. It allows us to learn more about ourselves when we write those, agree?
BTW, 3 things:
1, thanks for your excellent comment on my blog.
2. I need your help stealing that cowboy hat for me from "BigWhiteHat". I think I'd look hot in it.
and
3. I've never seen Crash. But love to talk about it if you wanna share your thoughts on it.
