Friday Favorites

Ok - I'm starting something new here and hopefully I'll be able to keep it going. I'm calling it Friday Favorites and the goal will be to create a list of my favorite --insert topic here--

I'm not huge on long lists or needing to meet length requirements, so I'm keeping it flexible. You might see a short list or a long list depending on the topic and/or how tired my brain is by the end of the week. Or no list at all if I'm on vacation and sunning myself in Mexico. Now don't go getting all excited. I'm not going back to Mexico. Yet. Even if those margaritas are calling my name. Right now. I'm going to have to live vicariously through sj who is leaving soon for Cabo San Lucas - lucky duck! Wow, was that a tangent or what? Ok, back on topic... For my first Friday Favorites post, I choose to list -

My Favorite Blogs
FunnyGals - Cause they're just so darn funny! And I've been friends with sj for like 27 years. And our birthdays are exactly a week apart. And she doesn't blink an eye when I tell her I want to dress up like Anne Boylen. And KAT lives in the same town as me. Actually she grew up in this same town and so did hubby. So we have connections there, ok people?! I just love both of these ladies cause they brighten up my day with their wittiness!

Wild ARS Chase - Cause he's the male equivalent of FunnyGals, I swear! And his Snuggies Review left me in tears. Literally. I was laughing so hard I was crying. And let's not forget to mention the other great product reviews he gave before that grande finale. I don't think I will ever look at an "As seen on TV" product the same again.

Bridget Jones Has Nothing On Me - She's a no-holds-barred, tell-it-like-it-is-and-who-gives-a-F*-what-they-think kind of woman. I love her honesty. I love her bluntness. I love her style. She's just like me, only I'm too shy to put it all out there. Thank god she does cause she gives me hope that I might not be as crazy as I thought I was.

ScopeTech - He's hip, he's cool, he works in IT (and I naturally gravitate to fellow techies) and best of all - he's in LOVE! And I've been blessed to be able to witness it all unfold before my very eyes. Kinda like peeking through someone's windows and watching them play footsies under the table, ya know? Ok, before you jump to the conclusion that I'm some sick voyeur or something, let me clarify by saying - they have been posting this stuff on their blogs, people! So it's out there. The wonderful news of their budding romance. It's all out there for the whole world to read. And god help me, I'm reading every last little bit cause it's so cute. And they are so cute. And I have the warm fuzzies just thinking about it. And when I say "they" I will conclude my list with the other half of this cute couple...

Love Letters By Cora - Truth be told I haven't been following Cora for as long as I have been following Scope. I started reading her blog after seeing the incredibly funny comments she's left on Scope's posts and I'm very glad I did! She brings that giddy schoolgirl feeling back as she tells the tale of how she and Scope spent a very recent weekend. It's a chick-flick in blog form and god help me - I love it!

Well looky there - I just finished my first Friday Favorites post!

And if anyone has ideas/topics/suggestions for next week's posts, please comment and let me know!

Thanks for the shout-out, srg... I'll share a town with you anytime!

As for future ideas, how about jobs you've held? names you considered while pregnant with B? the projects you've tackled in your house and yard? (I know that will be a long list...) concerts you've attended?

I don't know if those all necessarily fit the "favorites" theme, but it's almost the end of a Friday workday (that I actually had to go into the office for-- boo!) so my brain is a little fried.

Man, sorry I missed this post and the resulting compliment within!
Thanks for the kind words, especially when putting me in the same breath as FunnyGals, who are awesome.

The Snuggies review will be my blog's legacy.
