No ear infection. Apparently I just have fluid stuck in that ear so time for lots of Sudafed.
I was planning on having a whole series of posts written and schedule for next week while on vacation, but it’s sort of hard to do wordpress decides to have issues.
Instead I’m going to do the Friday Five today and *maybe* work on some posts for next week… maybe.
1. Oh my goodness! You have to run out the door right now and you haven’t eaten! Before dashing out, what do you grab to wolf down on your way? A banana
2. What’s a popular breakfast you dislike? Grits, well at least down here in the South. 
3. You’re going out for breakfast anywhere you want, and someone else is treating! Where do you go and what do you order? Waffle House! I have an unhealthy love for their waffles.
4. What do you have when you need a simple, healthy (or healthy-ish, for those of you who just don’t do healthy!) breakfast? Yogurt.
5. You’ve been invited to a breakfast potluck. What are you most likely to bring? Hmm… Pancakes with chocolate chips.
I’ll try to get this week’s Project 365 post up tomorrow, but if not, it might not be up until Thursday of next week when I’m back. Au revoir!

It’s Friday and I’m SO happy! I haven’t done a Friday Five in a long time so here goes:
1. In the past month, what was your biggest OOPS? I’d say probably taking my Pathophysiology exam on Tuesday instead of Friday, but oh well, life goes on.
2. In the past month, what inspired you to let out your most heartfelt WHEW? Finding out that Gray’s dad came out of heart surgery just fine. It was a scary time for our family. Television wise: I held my breath through the two hour finale of Grey’s Anatomy.
3. In the past month, what caused you to say, “HUH?” Probably an episode of LOST, hah!
4. In the past month, what influenced the most ZZZZZZZZs? My work schedule and drinking coffee, it makes me exhausted in the afternoons.
5. In the past month, what was most GRRRRRRRRR-worthy? Well, a few things that I can’t share, so the most recent on my mind is the fact that people were glad Lee won American Idol and then dissed Crystal. I think Crystal should have won, but I wasn’t mad at Lee for winning.
Our plans for this weekend are pretty simple. We start dog sitting tonight and will be for the next nine days. For us it is like a trial run to see if we could handle having a dog. We can’t afford one yet, but at least we’ll know how long the newness might last, although these dogs are already trained and out of their puppy stage. I am also seeing Sex and the City 2 on Sunday with some friends. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the movie, but considering I hardly ever agree with the critics, I will probably like the movie.
I’m going to work on a few posts, including a very emotional/personal one that I am trying to decide whether to protect or not. As always, if you’d like to read the password protected posts that is fine and you can just ask for the password, I’m going to make sure they all have the same password from now on out. However, I trust that you will not give the password out to others because if I wanted everyone to read those blogs, I’d make them public.
What are your plans for the weekend?

We’re heading to Memphis today to watch my youngest brother-in-law graduate on Sunday. I’m pretty excited because we’re getting out of Murfreesboro. I have a post I’m working on, but this should tide you over.
Friday Five: Lessons
- What kind of out-of-school lessons did you take as a kid? Well, I took dance lessons for several years: ballet, tap, and jazz. I also did voice lessons in high school because I was auditioning for college music schools.
- What valuable lesson did you learn this past week? God provides what we need when we need it.
- Who in your life really needs to be taught a lesson? I really can’t judge other people. I would say that those not leaning on God need to learn they can’t do it by their self.
- What kinds of lessons would you love to have a private teacher for right now? Hmm Anatomy and Physiology!
- What steps have you taken to lessen the impact of these rough economic times? Our budget has always been tight, but it’s more tight than ever before. We’re sticking more money in savings, watching our spending, and making sure not to waste food.
I hope everyone has a great memorial weekend!

It’s Friday! I just love the weekends, don’t you? We have no major plans for the weekend, other than grocery shopping and of course, I’m doing the two Nas. So, Friday5 it is!
- What usually marks the middle of your day? Lunch, sometimes with Gray!
- From whom (or to whom) was your most recent middle-of-the-night phone call? I never get middle of the night calls, but on our honeymoon, we got one at like 4a.m. and it really confused me. It turned out a guy had smelled pot, wanted to buy some, and could have sworn it was our room that had it. He got the room numbers switched up. I thought someone was trying to pick a fight with us, it was scary!
- On what social, political, economic, or moral issue are you in the middle of the road? Well, when it comes to politics, I’m usually between the Republican and Democratic sides. I agree with different issues on both sides and disagree as well. I’d rather not say what ones because I really don’t want any hate email.
- How likely are you to give someone your middle finger? Very unlikely. If I do, I must be extremely eangry.
- When were you last caught in the middle of a disagreement that really had nothing to do with you? Hmm nothing to do with me? I am not sure I’ve been in such a thing. I’m usually involved in some way. I promise I don’t try to make drama, it follows me.
Have a great weekend!

It’s Friday and we all know what that means, right? Friday5
- Where’s your favorite beach? I really loved the beaches in the Bahamas, so clear and beautiful. However, I am partial to a particular beach, Clearwater Beach, Florida. I lived there for a summer in college and it was the most amazing summer of my LIFE!
- Where’s your favorite place to spend money? Well, I think Gray and I both agree that we’d love to spend money at Apple.com, but we usually spend most of our money at Kroger or Walmart.
- Where’s a good place to watch people? Anywhere, but I do it from my apartment sometimes… or the store.
- Where’s a good place to be totally alone? Home… only one other person lives here and he’s gone most of the time.
- Where’s a place outside of work (or school) where you’re likely to run into people from work (or school)? Wal-mart… or Kroger, but mostly Wal-mart.
So, tonight is the Haunted House!! At least, if it stops raining anytime soon….

Friday 5, because I’m still recovering from being sick!
- Who frightens you? Hmm I’m not really afraid of people, unless they threaten me.
- Who regularly surprises you? I’d say my mom, I’m never sure how she will react to something.
- Who calms you down? Gray, he has the wonderful ability to calm me in pretty much any type of situation.
- Who inspires you? I guess my mom. She’s been able to raise a family, have a career she loves, and do it all frugally in tough times.
- Who admires you perhaps more than he or she should? I have no idea. I don’t really consider myself to be much of a role model.
Gray and I don’t have much planned for the weekend, except sleeping and eating. We’re quite simple most of the time.

It’s time for
Friday Five again, which is great because I’ve been a total blogging slacker this week.
- 1. What’s the cutest of the small, furry animals? I was always partial to koala bears, but now I own a chinchilla.
- I totally think he’s the cutest thing ever.
- 2. What predator impresses you the most? Hmm possibly the lion? They are king of the jungle afterall.
- 3. After which animal will you name your professional sports team? haha hmm Maybe the Cougars… I just like the sound of it.
- 4. What’s an unusual animal that you know a little something about? Well, again, I know more about my chinchilla, because I own one. They are nocturnal, can jump like crazy because they have kangaroo like legs, and he takes dust baths and never smells. It’s kinda awesome.
- 5. Your high school probably had some kind of mascot or symbol, but based on your memories of it, what animal should REALLY have been the emblem? Well, we were the Warriors, so we had a, well, WARRIOR as our mascot. I’m pretty sure a warrior’s head was our mascot… so I really can’t argue with that.
Yay for the weekend! I’ll post soon, very soon, I promise!
