Five top five

Five book recommendations

1. I am one of you forever - Fred Chappell
2. One Night - Alice McDermott
3. Letting Go* - Philip Roth
4. Endless Love - Scott Spencer (yeah... I know you're conjuring Lionel Richie. But, seriously. This book is a read and read again kind of book.)
5. Ivy Louise Eat Your Peas! (Just read it.)

Five movie recommendations

1. Dangerous Liaisons (of course)
2. The Color Purple
3. Donnie Brasco**
4. Casino**
5. Goodfellas**

Five things on my mind

1. In the name of all that is holy, how will I get through this day without collapse?
2. Did I really invite 60 people to a BBQ at my house? What the?
3. The zit on my chin looks to be pregnant.
4. I'm tired (see #1).
5. Really? School is out in 15 days?

Five things I dislike about people

1. When they talk. And talk. And talk. And talk.
2. When they don't put their money where their mouth is... How many of the parents who sued the school board over mandatory year-round and got what they wanted are now NOT attending the traditional schools made available to them!? I could seriously cut them.
3. When everything is about them. HellOOOO?
4. Crooked people... or those not straight-forward.
5. People who are not just reliving their youth, but the worst parts of it. Gag.

Five things I'm happy about

1. The end of my "career."
2. How cute F looked today and his shiny clean hair.
3. Fruity Pebbles for breakfast and lunch out this afternoon!
4. Nordstrom's... in less than 2 hours.
5. My ingrown toe nail surgery is finally healing.

* If you haven't already read it, well then... Shame on YOU.
**WHY OH WHY OH WHY OH WHY is the Sopranos ending?

Sigh, you've shamed me T. I'm off to put a hold on Letting Go now on my library's website.

I am in total agreement on #1 on your dislikes. I am so over some people it isn't even funny. So much so I'm now screening my cell phone. Ugh.

PS-I want to see F's shiny hair!!
