Okay. Now, if you wanna play Friday Five, go here.

Wow. It finally happened. John and I found some bathroom fittings that we agree on. We weren't exactly having a thumb-wrestle per se, but we definitely liked what we found at Bed Bath & Beyond. Hopefully we'll get em installed before Cheri arrives.

Aunt Flo finally arrived late last night; this month, I did not bloat, or if I did, I haven't noticed. I still got plenty of cramps, though. Sigh.

Yes, I know how to fix that. I'll get right to it when I'm done here. :)

And finally, these people have decided that the phrase so far this year from Hollywood that's had the biggest impact on the English language is 'Wardobe Malfunction'. Rounding out the top five on the group's list: 'Bootylicious,' 'extreme makeover,' 'Gigli' and 'Give it up!'

I'm assuming 'zzhuzzh'(sp?) from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy would have been included if they'd been able to arrive at a consensus on how to spell it. :)
