Another Friday Five
From RevGalblogpals:
There are two types of people in the world, morning people and night owls. Or Red Sox fans and Yankees fans. Or boxers and briefs. Or people who divide the world into two types of people and those who don't. Let your preferences be known here. And if you're feeling verbose, defend your choices!
1. Mac? or PC?
I own a PC, but prefer Macs. They are just more expensive, that's all. And, I married a fabulous PC dude.
2. Pizza: Chicago style luscious hearty goodness, or New York floppy and flaccid?
You know, I like both. But I love New York, so I'll take that slice.
3. Brownies/fudge containing nuts:a) Good. I like the variation in texture.b) An abomination unto the Lord. The nuts take up valuable chocolate space.[or a response of your choosing]
Neither. A lady in my church makes an awesome brownie. She mixes the brownies together, tops it with chocolate chip cookie dough, then frosts them. Yum!
4. Do you hang your toilet paper so that the "tail" hangs flush with the wall, or over the top of the roll like normal people do?
I'm no conformist. I hang it with the tail flush to the wall. I have a friend who had an ongoing battle with his roommate over this issue. He would make it flush to the wall whenever in the restroom, but the roomie would change it back. They never spoke of it to each other.
5. Toothpaste: Do you squeeze the tube wantonly in the middle, or squeeze from the bottom and flatten as you go just like the tube instructs?
I wantonly squeeze the middle, until I am running low. Then, I have to roll it up and flatten it.
Bonus: Share your favorite either/or.
Greek or Hebrew? I like Greek.

Friday Five--It's My Party
Tell us these five things about parties, birthday or otherwise.
1) Would you rather be the host or the guest?
The guest. I get a bit frazzled trying to get everything ready, and can't enjoy myself. I guess I'm a Martha.
2) When you are hosting, do you clean everything up the minute the guests go home?
No. No. No.
Will you accept help with the dishes?
Yes!
3) If you had the wherewithal, and I guess I mean more than money, to throw a great theme party, what would the theme be?
I just shared a really amusing book with my son about John Hancock, Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. So I think I'd like to have a Revolution Party, where everyone had to dress up like people from that era. Powdered wigs and all.
4) What's the worst time you ever had at a party?
Probably in Junior High School. Oh, the drama!
5) And to end on a brighter note, what was the best?
My wedding reception. To be surrounded by all those people that love and support me, and that we love too.

A New Daily Addition to the Blog
Over on the left you'll notice a comic strip called "Day By Day." A friend introduced this to me the other day, and I got a kick out of it. Hope you enjoy it, too. You can check out the archives of "Day By Day" here.
