Friday

Thanks to Mrs. 4444, for continuing to host our weekly tidbit dump. I always look forward to seeing what trivia is floating around among her friends and followers. Check her out at Half Past Kissin Time.

She posted a small tutorial earlier in the week on the use of punctuation marks---and that it isn't necessary to put an apostrophe after every word that ends in an S. Good work, Mrs. 4444.

It seems like a curse to know the correct usage of so many words. My own aggravation has to do with the use of Less. I also cringe when I hear the car ad which claims that if it weren't for curiosity, the world would still be flat. Yoo-hoo! The world never WAS FLAT. Bonehead!

I found the coolest website, which is promoting kindness in the new year. It will warm your heart, just reading about it. Look for the Kindness Challenge 2012 Toolkit.

Good Guy saw the surgeon again on Wednesday. All is well and she never wants to see him again. (Surgeons aren't famous for "bedside manner".) Insert laughter here: I'm not picking on anybody.

Since walking outdoors is pretty treacherous, we've walked at the mall a couple days this week. Just like any other exercise, we are finding it is more tolerable if we do it together. Today there's a craft fair in progress, so we'll try the other mall, or even outdoors, if it ever warms up.

My car doors froze up and it made me wonder why people continue to live in this weird climate. I concluded that since my house is paid for, that is reason enough.

This week is my birthday. And my daughter-in-law's birthday. And two sons, two cousins, plus a wedding anniversary. We never get a Christmas tree until this week is over.

Visitors to our bird feeders this week: Cardinals, sparrows, juncos, chickadees, nuthatches, blue jays, mourning doves, and Stubby the Squirrel. (His aunts, cousins, and other in-laws have been dropping around, too.) We saw a deer in the back yard as we were leaving the front driveway last night, too. He was cautious, but didn't get scared away.

Have a great TGIF.
