Busy Day Friday Five

July 1, 2011 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Happy Friday! Monday is a holiday! Happy day!

I spent the entire morning training some clients on how to use WordPress which was fun. I wrote this post before I left but forgot to publish.  It’s been a busy day!

5 Things That Currently Make Me Smile

  1. Wearing my favorite shirt that I bought for my first day of work.
  2. My mom talking about her future grandbabies.
  3. Thinking about our NZ wedding celebration.
  4. It’s a holiday weekend!
  5. My morning commute with my friend Christina.

5 Things I’m Doing This Weekend

  1. Reading.
  2. Therapy session.
  3. Indian food with friends.
  4. Hardcore workouts.
  5. Shopping for wedding stuff.

5 Reasons Why My Job Is Awesome

  1. I’m good at it. Really.
  2. The geeks I work with make me laugh (and roll my eyes).
  3. I like the web design work we do.
  4. My bosses joke with me.
  5. I think they might let me keep working for them when I move. ;) (do it! peer pressure!)

5 Memphis Restaurants I Love

  1. Central BBQ
  2. Deli Mexicana
  3. Hueys
  4. Lennys
  5. Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken ;)

5 Colors My Hair Has Been Dyed

  1. Red
  2. Purple
  3. Black with pink tips
  4. Light Brown
  5. Dark Brown (current)

Yeah, I used to dye my hair CRAZY colors. My high school years were interesting… I’ll try to find photos.

I’m off to therapy this afternoon then a bit of work out of the office and then weekend fun.

I hope everyone has an amazing holiday weekend! Enjoy it! Spend time with your loved ones!
(And leave me a comment with one of the five with your answers!!)

    I bet you’d be great at something like training people on how to do something, and I can imagine you’d enjoy it too!

    I have 5 super-cool things I’m doing this wknd, way more interesting than my usual wknd:
    1. Running a 10k race, even though I know I won’t PR.
    2. Going to get another bridesmaid’s dress ordered (for the wedding of my other brother getting married this year)
    3. Doing a long run of about 15 miles.
    4. FINALLY watching William & Kate’s wedding with a friend and her daughter, complete with tea and scones.
    5. Going to a drive-through nature park called Fossil Rim w/ friends and their 2 kids, one of whom is my godson.

    Oh, and going to see the third best fireworks show in the country according to the aol and usa today rankings! Woo-hoo! And a cookout with hubby’s co-workers! Woo-hoo! This wknd should be great!

      Thanks! It’s one thing I can say that I truly am good at it. I would hate teaching a class about it but I love working one on one training/teaching someone. :)

      Sounds like you are going to have an amazing weekend! Enjoy it!

    Yuum Indian food. And fun shopping for wedding stuff. Sounds like you have a good weekend ahead. Ooh that would be awesome if you could keep your job at this place when you’re in nz!! I want to see a phic of you with purple hair!! Have a good therapy. 5 things I’m doing this weekend – 1) sleep 2) go out tonite & tomm nite but in a MUCH less crazy way than last wkend 3) read 4) go shopping probably 5) maybe go to the park, it’s going to be nice and I didn’t make it there last wkend. Last wkend was crazy and this weekend, most people leave SF to go someplace more summery, so it’s going to be quiet and chill…I don’t even have any 4th of july ish type stuff planned. But that’s ok!! Yay 3 day wkend!

    Love Central BBQ! That was one of the top pulled chicken sandwiches of my life! Can’t wait to have it again in November! Dear Mary’s current rad bosses…please allow her to continue her awesomeness for you internationally! :-)

    5 Things I’m Doing This Weekend

    1) Meeting an online friend for the first time.
    2) If I have my druthers (I said druthers), buying an antique nightstand for the guestroom.
    3) Watching fireworks…on TV. Not a crowd girl especially when there are 750,000 people expected downtown!
    4) Switching out our crappy shelving with high end chrome kitchen shelves in the basement like restaurants use.
    5) Rearranging my kitchen lazy susan and making it fit how I cook now, not how I cooked 5 years ago. So exciting! (not)

    5 things I’m doing this weekend:
    1. finding out the gender of my baby
    2. cleaning (the house-and my sanity-needs it!)
    3. getting a massage
    4. getting my hair cut
    5. going to a birthday party

    I am a big fan of Indian food; I might be adding that to my list in the near future.

    Central Barbeque!! My favorite also. For decades. And I say that anyone would be fortunate to have you working for them . . . web-based is fine, in person is no doubt much more edifying re personal interaction . . . but your ability to express yourself is so good . . . the real you comes through clearly anytime.

      We love Central! They are catering our wedding. :)

    Sorry no personal website, at least for now. I love the smoothie idea. And like everyone else am on a diet, I finally found a program that helps and sticking with it. It seems to be on the same idea as I’ve seen here. More natural than artificial. Looking forward to meeting all of you.
