Been thinking about this for a few minutes and I can't think of anything. I'm quiet, reserved, and a bit shy. Although some including my brother disagrees with the latter.

Only on very rare occasions do I take a sample at one of those stations. Maybe once or twice a year will I actually stop and try something. They usually are offering something I'm not interested in.

lol What was the last thing you were a tiny bit obnoxious about? I'm pleading the 5th!

Extra Credit Question:
What exciting plans do you have for this weekend? I'm hosting a board meeting for one of my organizations on Saturday morning, and I offered to prepare breakfast for the entire board. I'll be up late tonight and early tomorrow preparing food for 16 people and then transporting it to the meeting place. I have some yummy stuff planned. Saturday afternoon I will spend with my aunt at her independent living facility. Sunday after church I'll be headed to a minor league baseball game. Go RailCats!

Word of the Day:
jointure \JOIN-cher\ , noun;
1. Property given to a woman upon marriage, to be owned by her after her husband's death.
Hmmm. Interesting! Seems rather archiac these days.

Today is:
National Vanilla Custard Day Yum YUM!
Davy Crockett Day Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier! I loved that TV show.
National Thriftshop Day I like to root around in thrift shops! I've purchased some lovely clothes that way.
Wrench Day I probably will not use a wrench today.
Self Starter Day I'm myself, and my day has started, so I guess I'm participating in Self Starter Day!
Meaning of "Is" Day What it is?
Pulitzer Prize Day pullet surprise.mp4 - YouTube
