This week’s random winner is Kelly! And you’ve gotta love that Kelly won, because she told this joke:
How do you tell one Scotish clan from another Scotish clan?
If you pick up his kilt and you see a quarter pound you have a McDonald.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in.

Well. Remember how excited I was on Wednesday? Then my babysitter cancelled. And someone gave Kidlet an injection of The Horribles. And . . . yeah.
Today, I’m going to keep watching this video until I feel cheerful:
Did you know I used to tap dance? For about, oh, six years. I loved it. I wanted to be more like the street tap dancers, though — arms hanging loose, just all legs and style. As you might imagine, this didn’t work very well for a nine-year-old white Midwestern girl with huge glasses and a bad perm.
Hey, I bet I amused you with that mental image, at least! Here’s another one—
Because no one can resist a miniature dog in a knit suit with picot trim. True fact.
How are y’all doing today? Tell me whether your Friday is horrible or grand, or tell me a joke, or … something. The usual Friday drill applies: one commenter will be randomly chosen tomorrow morning for a $10 gift certificate to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or iTunes.
I tapped for my nieces in the kitchen this Christmas who stared at me in disbelief…or horror…or amazement. I’m going to say it was amazement that their auntie could put on such a good show. (My mom even said, you had such a gift! I, of course, chose to overlook her use of the past tense.)
My Friday is grand because it is Friday! And because our local weather is weird and there may be a patio and drinks involved at about, oh, five o’clock! I hope yours gets better. Tap in your kitchen. It will bring much joy. Or at least bring you much closer to chocolate.
I’m having a great Friday! Its the first day of Winter Qtr here at the Art Institute of Washington, DC. I’m teaching Scriptwriting 101 and my students are actually enthusiastic to be here and are coming up with great ideas for their first assignment which is a 30 second Public Service Announcement with topics ranging from legalizing marijuana (or tree as I just learned its called by today’s youth) to commuting to work and human rights.
How am I today? Well it’s a normal Friday for my today. Entertaining a three year old while cleaning and doing laundry. Waiting until I pick little man up from kindergarten and taking them to the dentist . It’s gonna be a exciting day!
I wish it was grand but it is not. Wednesday my child chuck all the food she has eaten all week at school (the school secretaries words). Then it snows yesterday, which I’m not a fan of the stuff. Really, I grew up So. Cal, and snow is in the mountains about 2 to 3 hours away. The only good thing is my child is still sick, so I don’t have to drive to school.
My Friday is not going great. I am on day two of a really bad sinus headache. However, I have high hopes of feeling better and meeting with friends for dinner tonight at one of my favorite restaurant on Isla Mujeres, MX.
I am having a great friday! It is 70 here today & I love it!! Have missed the warm weather,I hate being cold!!! Plus, it has been a very interesting work week
I’m going to tell you about it bc I need to tell someone lol. So I run a tanning salon & my sister who is a senior in high school works here with me in the evenings. Well the other day this lady left her panties in her tanning room when she left (how you leave with out your panties i have no idea). So we thought it would be funny to wash these panties & then leave them somewhere for our boss to find & embarress him lol. Well then it turned into trying to get eachother back with these panties (yes we live a boring life lol). So my sister thought it was wise to stick these panties around my vitamins in my gym bag so when i pulled them out at the gym they would fall where everyone sees them..not smart on her part bc i always get even. So last night while she was tanning I got in her backpack & stuck them in her school binder so when she pulls it out at school these granny panties fall out in front of everyone 
haha. So my friday is exciting bc I’m waiting for a text from her yelling at me 
)) lol!!!
and my TBR is still really long!
Oh & thank you for the giveaway! I hope I win bc my husband told me I spend too much on books
So far my Friday is great, all week long we had a huge storm with lots of rain, hail and snow in some part of the country and today for the first time after a week the sun came out and I didn’t get wet when I left the house
On top of the better weather, my nephew is coming to visit later today and a few days ago my youngest sister came back from a 4 and a half month trip to Thailand and India so all the family will be together for Friday night dinner.
I feel for you… I have allergies, real bad, feels like a cold, been sneezing and sneezing, there’s pollen on the cars so you can imagine how it’ll be for me this week. I hate taking allergy pills, but I guess I’ll have to…I can’t even enjoy a book or even think of a joke. At least I managed to check my emails and share with you. Hope you feel better. It’s so hard to, to, aaaaaCHOOOO!!!…concentrate, Sniff, sniff….Sorry! AaaaaCHOOOOO! What were we talking about??? Aaaa, aaaaaa, aaaaCHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! …….
How can you have pollen in December??
Don’t you have rain and cold like normal people and Europeans??
Er, or January, even…
There’s this light coat of green/yellowish powder on the cars. It’s from the (oak??) trees or some other flower plants. I’ve been weeding the garden lately, so maybe all that combined is making me sick! Every Jan-Feb this happens, rarely does it affect me but, I guess my defenses are low :/
It’s not even 10 am yet. I still can’t see across the street because the fog is still so thick but it’s supposed to be 53 degrees here today. I’ve got my second load of laundry in and I’m thinking about what to fix for dinner. I guess, so far, my Friday is going good. No kids have complained, nothing had broken yet, and I’m healthy. What more could you ask for. Gotta go to work tomorrow. Finishing first phase of a big construction project, and now have to move the first group of people to their new spots. Should be fun. Oh, there’s not gonna be any ac/heat while we’re doing this. The building is doing it’s own renovation project. The high tomorrow is supposed to be 25 degrees. We’ll just have to huddle together to keep warm. Should be interesting.
I love Jennis ulterior motive, tap in the kitchen because it brings you closer to the chocolate. haha My Friday is just beginning. Already I have gotten an email saying I won a book. One which is the next in a series I like and I had not gotten it yet!! Woo haw. So I vote for Melody May. Anyone whose kid chucked up a whole weeks worth of food at school AND has to live with snow deserves a big pick me up!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
My Friday is going okay. Our temperatures are supposed to be close to 70 today. If you want changeable weather live in Missouri. Now tomorrow it’s supposed to be cold with a chance of sleet or maybe even a little snow. I’m trying to get over a sinus thing so I’m just staying inside. It’s a good time to be reading and I’m currently reading Vicki Lewis Thompson’s Werewolf In Denver. Love her books. I hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend.
My Friday is so-so so far. I’m fighting off something, been really lethargic for the past two days. Maybe it’s a reflection of the blah gray day outside? Am seeing my acupuncturist tomorrow, so Saturday should be better than so-so!
So far so good. Looking forward to this evening. One of my husband’s colleagues bought a house down the street and invited us to dinner. She’s originally from India and has promised exotic homemade vegetarian specialties! Yum! AND I don’t have to cook tonight. I still have to buy an appropriate hostess gift, and I know food and wine are out of the question. I hope a houseplant is acceptable.
Crappy day for me with restructuring going on at work.
It’s a good Friday–the kids are off to school, I’m catching up on e-mails with a mug of hot water in hand (the house is cold!), and the sun’s trying to peek out! No tap dancing in my past, but it always has looked so fun!
Your tweet made me click! Pretty Good Friday considering it’s nearing the end of my week off. I still have 2 1/2 days left to put off laundry.
This Friday I have been catching up on paperwork. Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I have found guarantees for stuff I no longer own?
My Friday is not so great. I have a very bad backache. I have bulging discs and they are really causing me pain today.
Sorry to hear that, June — I have them in my neck and they’re giving me a little trouble too. Must be something in the air, because I’ve been painfree for a while.
I’m in a seriously crappy mood today, so will just try to be happy about the fact that it’s a beautiful day, and I finally got to the store for fresh produce and protein. Between a bad cold and a broken down car, I’ve had nothing to eat lately but the crap my son and husband eat. :-\
The only thing good about my Friday is that it is Friday and in another 2 hours I get to go home for the weekend. It’s Texas so the weather is completely fucked up (high of 72 today, 50 yesterday and only 45 or so and raining tomorrow) and making my family sick. My husbands cousin was killed in a car crash yesterday morning. And…as if that wasn’t enough my best bud aunt flow came to town this morning so I am bloated, cramping and feel like shit and am in a general bitchy mood.
I really hate when I am in moods like this. I think I am going to go home and crawl into bed with a good book. Yeah, that sounds like a really good idea!
Well my Friday was just meh til I saw that little cutie! Can’t tap but love to watch!
Well, it’s Friday… I’m happy about that.
Of course, I should be cleaning up my house. My oldest daughter turns 10 tomorrow and she’s having a sleepover. That should be interesting.
But I’m just playing around on the internet. I am however managing to get some work done.
I woke up to winter wonder land and I really hate snow other then that my day has been okay.
How do you tell one Scotish clan from another Scotish clan?
If you pick up his kilt and you see a quarter pound you have a McDonald.
Wish everyone a good weekend.
Generally speaking, Friday is my favorite day of the week. Or at least Friday evening is my favorite evening of the week. The mere thought of two full free days ahead
I have some big deadlines that I just have to meet, so no real free time for me 
However, this Friday is not so great, and neither will the next two be. (Actually, make that two weeks, but the question was about Friday, so
Of course, I’m already compiling a list of Incredibly Promising Romance Novels to read once I’m done
Pretty good Friday—the college boy made Dean’s List again last semester, the high school senior has received two acceptances with scholarships already, and the seventh grader will be fit for pointe shoes on Tuesday! Plus I came home to dh shaking up a cosmo for me
My friday hasnt been the greatest today. I work in the kitchen at our local middle school and got a 3rd degree steam burn. I cannot describe how bad it hurt!! I got the burn on my left wrist and up my arm alittle. It looks nasty. I didnt go to the hospital,but I couldnt wait for today to be over. Its been that kinda week. Starting on Mon when my car wouldnt start.

I tapped when I was very little, then I gave it up to concentrate on ballet. We’ve been digitizing a bunch of old slides from my childhood and came across a couple of me at age 6 in my cute little dance recital outfits. The hubs was highly amused and thought I was adorable. He knew I’d danced when I was younger, but I didn’t think any photos existed.
It’s ok. Cute pic.
It has been a busy Friday…in fact, the first 2 Fridays of January is jam-packed busy for me at work. But I can’t complain much, everybody in the family is thriving!
