1. Why does it have to be warm enough for me to get the scooter out one day, and a few days later it’s snowing again?

2. Most people don’t like the metric system. They like the English system since it’s “familiar.” Yet most people don’t even know one tablespoon is equal to three teaspoons; most people think it’s four.

3. My favorite breakfast includes pot roast hash, eggs over medium, toast, and enough coffee to float a skiff.

4. “The Making of the Empire Strikes Back” was the last book I read before falling asleep the other night. (I usually read my Bible before going to sleep, but I did something different the night before last. I didn’t read anything last night; I was too tired and went right to sleep.)

5. I am SO glad I took a couple hours off from the office this AM.

6. A hot shower would make me feel better right now.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to playing “Hello Dolly” in the pit of a high school musical, tomorrow my plans include going to a pastor/deacon conference (I will represent the latter; I’m not called to be a pastor!) and Sunday, I want to have lunch with my Mom!

1. Bring your favorite side dish to share, and we’ll have a rockin’ BBQ at my place. Once the snow melts off the grill, that is…

2. Make sure you talk to everyone at the BBQ, so that all the people feel like they are included.

3. Some spare ribs and some brisket and a side of baked beans is exactly what I plan on bring to the BBQ..

4. Well, you see, I’m not sure how this FFI took on a BBQ theme; I did watch a BBQ show on TV last night with daughter Julia, so perhaps that’s it.

5. I can’t wait to have a BBQ; it won’t be too soon!

6. But what if the snow never melts? How then will we have a BBQ? Perhaps we’ll just have to have a party indoors.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to playing a gig with Blind Al at a BBQ stand (not really–no BBQ at all–but the gig is real), tomorrow my plans include playing with Steelin’ Thunder at a fundraising BBQ (again, real gig, no BBQ) and Sunday, I want to have extended family dessert time at Mert’s house, and I hope someone brings some BBQ!

1. Ooooh, I hope I can steer the rest of this day out of the ditch.

2. I’ve got two pounds to go on my weight loss goal and they won’t come off; I can’t stand it!

3. How the heck did I end up with so many bills? I thought we had that credit card down to a reasonable level.

4. Anywhere I can go on my scooter is one of my favorite places to visit.

5. I’m not a snare drum hoarder, I swear, I’m not!

6. If it comes out of the kitchen of an Italian grandma’s house, it has to be good.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to an evening home, tomorrow my plans include a rehearsal for the show Hello Dolly (I’ll be in the pit, not on the stage!) and Sunday, I want to practice the funk with Groove Machine!

1. Why does it seem like every time my kids get a free minute, they beg to play Lego Batman on the Wii?

2. Once the children are grown, maybe Susan and I will get the opportunity to get to the UK, Italy, France, and really get out and see the world.

3. Thank you for visiting, now how about leaving a comment?

4. Christmas is my favorite holiday because is celebrates the birth of the Savior.

5. I am SO looking forward to cramming my gullet full on Thanksgiving; I’m NOT counting calories that day.

6. Sometimes I find these questions a little obtuse; I guess the “right” answer is whatever we make up our minds to be.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to making biscuits, tomorrow my plans include boxing in some lally columns with Pastor Dave and Sunday, I want to welcome Susan home from her conference!

1. Sometimes, I have one of those days at work where everything clicks, I get a lot done, and feel like I did a great job for the company. Yesterday was one of those days.

2. Last night I had this gianormous meatloaf sandwich for supper and I ate just about the whole thing.

3. Small minded are those supposedly “broad minded” people who call “foul” when an election doesn’t go their way.

4. When making biscuits, you should put a little Bakewell Cream in your dough; it helps the dough rise and is very enlightening.

5. I keep meaning to recover that Pearl tom-tom in pink sparkle to match the rest of my drums but…

6. (cont. from #5) I just haven’t gotten around to it …yet.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to being at home and playing with the boys while Susan and Julia are out decorating the church, tomorrow my plans include working in the AM then playing a gig in Brewer in the evening, and Sunday, I want to have some cool lesson ready for Sunday School!
