Happily, It's Random 5 Friday

Somehow the week flew by and once again it's time for Random 5 Friday with Nancy and our blog buddies at "A Rural Journal."

Yes, that's a giant gold button

1) For what seems like decades -- though I know it's only a few weeks -- the temperature during the day was under eighty degrees. This inspired me to do more walking than usual and I came upon one of my favorite stores. Tender Buttons. I don't knit or sew, and I still haven't gotten to my crocheting lessons, but anyone in search of interesting, unusual and/or adorable buttons, this is the place.

2) For what may be the millionth time in my life -- yes, the second time I am wildly over-stating in the same post -- I waited too long in a season to get clothes/shoes I needed. First I had the bathing suit episode and now all that are left in the shoe stores are white sandals or sandals with very high heels. Neither of which are what I am looking for. Today, I should be buying a pair of fall shoes to wear with pants, but it just seems too early.

3) Single serving cups of ice cream are the greatest impediments to gluttony (and calories) I know. I get my taste of ice cream and don't run the risk of remembering there is ice cream in the freezer at midnight.  

4) Five days until I leave for Orlando. This is the reason for my frantic sandal shopping today.

5) Thirteen days until I leave for Chicago and BlogHer. I am really looking forward to meeting Deanna, who blogs at Snippets from Springdale. She is an extraordinary photographer and her blog is so much fun to visit.

For someone without full-time employment it's been a busy week and I'm looking forward to the weekend. Tomorrow is an easy day, but Sunday I'm spending the day in Philadelphia. Monday, I'm back to my 9:05 a.m. exercise class, but that's a post for another day.

Wishes for a sweet, sweet Saturday!
