I'm up at 7:30. No particular plans - laundry, cleaning, reading a book...

Friday, 7pm Eastern - it's on VH1 again...

1. What is your favorite fruit? Mango 2. At the end of today, do you think you'll feel spent or refreshed? It's 5:30pm and my work day is over. I'm refreshed it's over, and refreshed it's the weekend! 3. Who is the last person you greeted at your door? A neighbor. 4. What was your last illness? Allergies as the winter thawed into mud season (umm, that's spring around here, except it stays muddy and cold until May or June.) 5. Friday fill-in: Late at night I'm ____. Either sleeping or staying away with the help of caffeine...working on some project that I just can't put down.

I don't go to rummage sales often, though I do frequent the local thrift stores.

I caught the last hour or so of this - and it was extraordinary. I got a kick out of the opening sequence for the Flaming Lips...Wayne inside a HUGE clear plastic ball carried aloft by people in the audience, and a big gong on stage. Pearl Jam's set was as described also -- Eddie Veddar did very well on the vocals and man, can he scream. Did you catch Pete's comment towards the end of The Who's set -- I don't remember exactly what he said. Something like, "Thanks Viacom for not giving us some $*#ing statue." LOL.

Usually below a quarter of a tank. I'll fill up before then if I'm going to be traveling some distance.

Heavens knows I read like a demon, yet can't think of one specific series I was completely bonkers over. Two favorites have been The Golden Compass series and the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn...

My first concert was seeing the Bay City Rollers at the State Fairgrounds in Detroit, Michigan.

Slept and recovered from business travel during the week. Grocery shopped Worked on genealogy

:icon_laugh: What a great write-up. Welcome to The Farm Doug!

"The band might as well have shown up on our doorstep with flowers" - now wouldn't that be nice???? :003:

FYI for those who are interested - first filmed solo performance since 1987 - shown in two parts. My local station is airing this on July 17 and 20th. Remaining shows in the Soundstage season include Matchbox Twenty and Kenny Chesney.

How about those Heartbreaker hotties! Jeans, butts, Benmont & too - lol - great pix!

That's a hoot! It really is a good send-up of Rock of Love and Brett Michaels! LOL

^But when do you know you're too old? That depends, too. Growing up people who were in their 30s were "too old." Now that I'm in my 40s I don't feel 'too old" for most things....

I do eat healthy most of the time, and really should take a multivitamin - but I don't.

Yes, for the first time in my adult life, I can say I am living within 50 miles of where I was born.

Happy birthday Nurk! Have a terrific day.

Maybe - if I remember and get the station.

I had a great 4th, too. I dropped over to a friend's house and was invited to join their group as they made their way to the fireworks out at the local casino. Perfect summer evening, yet cool enough for a light jacket. Soft breeze blowing smoke from fireworks away from the crowd. 180 degree view of open skies & smaller fireworks being sent into the sky by people before the main event. The 'big' show was excellent and we had a great parking place. Show lasted 30-45 minutes. Terrific way to end the evening!

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning? A fruit smoothy, tea, or water. 2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going? Decaf tea and water on work days. Not at work? Cream of Earl Grey caffinated tea, water, and the occasional soda. 3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not? Yes. I always have a glass of water nearby during the work day. Why? I believe the water helps keep me hydrated, thus keeps my systems functioning along smoothly. I miss the water if I don't have it. 4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!) It's a fruit smoothie - whatever fruit is handy, protein powder, fruit juice. 5. Are you a soda drinker? If yes, which soda is your favorite? An occasional soda drinker. I love Vernor's Ginger Ale and Vanilla Coke.

Love 'em. One of my favorite 4 of Julys was spent with my sister's family when the kids were quite young. The fireworks started and the adults "oooo'd" and "ahhhh'd" along with the kids... The evening was really special because we also 'named' the fireworks as they exploded: Now that's a spectacular DoozyWopper! I love that SparkleShiner! etc.

I don't diet, but here are things that make eating well a challenge: cookies, (any kind I've made myself) PLUS Oreo Double Stuffs and the sugar cookies with frosting from LoftHouse - get 'em at your supermarket tea, a pot of caffinated Teavana Earl Grey Creme and I don't need food (except cookies) holidays that have food attached: Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. restaurant food. the portions are huge! candy bars and ice cream and desserts butter, lucious butter I believe I could have dedicated the entire list to specific cookies! :003:

3 times - I was out of town.

Best thing for me is the weather. Today it was 80 and sunny with low humidity - love it!
