Joan's Fav Five Friday:

1. Yesterday I woke up at 3:30 a.m. I was supposed to get up at 5 and go running. I was stressed about work and dreading my run because I was sure it would be hot. When I stepped outside, I was greeted by a cool breeze, a gentle sunrise, and more energy in my legs than I'd anticipated. I had a great run, and all the work stuff seemed conquerable. It was a super stupendous surprise!

2. Tonight I'm eating at King's Fish House. I LOVE King's Fish House. I will start with a sushi appetizer, continue on with a salad...I cannot begin to map out my entree, since all the stuff there is so good. And dessert???

3. On any given day, I see a lizard, a chipmunk, a hummingbird, or a quail outside my office window. People ask me how I can stand being in the fishbowl out in the public, but truth be told, very few people notice I'm back here, and I have a GREAT view outside my window. (It suddenly dawns on me that I MAY have posted about this before...)

4. Last night I went bowling at Red Rock Lanes with Patricia, Arlene, and Dilon. I am a horrible bowler, but the shoes are comfortable and the bowling balls were decorated. There was a skull ball, a pink ball (it was the lightest - 8 pounds), and the 10 pounder I kept using had an undersea theme to it. Good company, food, and drinks...and Arlene and Dilon won prizes!

5. I work tomorrow, and Sunday I get to be a sloth and read books all day. Or, rather, one book. But not OUR One Book. The book I'm reading. Again. As part of a series that I've tried to read several times before. I will persevere.

Happy Friday!
