Friday!

Thinking about:
1. How having month-old polish on your toenails makes you feel a little trashy...like you're one Tweety Bird tattoo away from ending up on an episode of "Cops."
2. Will A. ever kick these colds? You know it's definitely been too long when your one-year-old starts trying to put the nasal aspirator in her nose all by herself.
3. I want to have a vacation home outside of the U.S. (thank you, "House Hunters International," for making me dream too big)
4. Why doesn't TBS or TNT or TCM air "Shawshank Redemption" any more? It used to come on all the time, and I watched it every time, I think. I think we can strong arm them into putting it back into maximum rotation. It won't be too hard to do it. All it takes is pressure...and time.
5. White tile with white grout is possibly the worst bathroom flooring choice ever. I didn't make that choice, but I'm having to live with the repercussions. Ah, the sins of the contractor...

Loving on:
1. The new children's messenger bags that I'm making for my nieces and nephew to take when I visit them shortly. Hopefully my seams will be somewhat straight, and hopefully they'll withstand the kind of hurt only small children can place on something. (I'll post pictures soon.)
2. Food Network shows that you find yourself watching for no good reason at 9:30 at night and that make you want to leave your home immediately in search of something battered and deep fried, and then battered and deep fried again.
3. A. saying "A-me" at the end of bedtime prayers.
4. A. in her stuffiness calling "Elmo," "Elbow."
5. J. heading to a men's rally with most of the men of our church, even though he feels crummy today and even though the weather is terrible for driving. He does a spectacular job of leading this family.
6. ShooShoos! I love these shoes. They're the only kind that A. likes to wear, and they're having a great sale right now.

Happy Friday!
