Friday Five

I'm stealing an idea from our friend Kevin, who writes a Friday Five every week.  However, I don't think I will even try to compare my Friday Five to Kevin's because he is a much better writer, always finds funny/interesting/unique videos to share, and always makes me think.  I can't promise any of that!!


But, here goes my attempt (plus, by Friday I am just ready to ramble and this gives me an excuse to do so):

1.  My heart has been hurting for all of the people who have suffered through a tragedy this week.  From the shootings in Arizona, to the floods in Australia, to the one year anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti and the needs that still exist, and just this morning I heard a part of Brazil was flooding. 

2.  I received an email containing the 2011 Consumer Trends.  Not so sure what I think about some of them...like #4.  Makes me a little worried for our country's direction.

3.  I got beat by a co-worker in Words With Friends on my iPod this week.  And I got beat bad.  502 - 235.  And to think I was proud of my word-making abilities.  I definitely ate some humble pie that day.

4.  We've been keeping my parents dog this week and re-living this scene all day, every day:

5.  With nothing on the agenda for the weekend, I'm sort of itching to try my hand at some homemade curtains!  And don't think I'm getting all fancy...it is a no-sew pattern!
