Five on Friday

I always forget to look at the sky on Friday. In fact I'm not very good at photographic memes because I always forget to take the picture. I'm good at lists, but not long lists. Seven tripped me up earlier this week. How about five? That's easier and the alliteration works out for Friday. Also, since I just made it up (as far as I know there isn't already a five on Friday) I can make the rule be that there are no rules. There's no link list thingy or blogroll to sign up for or display or anything.

Five on Friday #1

1. dogs

2. cats

3. frogs

4. Kitchen sinks that have those spray things. I have a spray thing but it doesn't work. I guess it's ornamental which is too bad because they are more useful than pretty, really.

5. Verbs. They come in handy. I like it when proper nouns become verbs. I especially like it when the proper nouns don't belong to famous people. "Man I really pulled a Hazel." "First you line the thing up and find the center by Georgeing it."

George wasn't his real name. I have changed the name to protect the name of the guy whose name I forgot, but we did use it as a verb for the first year or so after we bought the sign business.

Okay, Marilyn, I don't get how this goes... you just list things? Anyway, i got it that you slipped "blithely" into your comment on the Stephen King quote about adverbs! Ha! Loved it! :)

Sure just list things. Any old things. You can give them a theme if you want. It's like Thursday Thirteen except for those of us with less stick-to-it-iveness.
