Friday 5

1. I kind of love this quote from Baltimore's own (and my personal favorite Good Wife actor) Josh Charles.  So sad and so true... Even after starting the season with a sweep of the Twins and even with the Yanks being winless, our fair Orioles still found a way to (as my friend Tim put it) "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory".

2. This is a completely geeky and techie thing to say but this week I love SharePoint.  It's the only program I use at work that lets me be creative.  Anyone that's used it before can attest, it's a huge pain in the neck to learn to use.  However, once you figure it out, it's actually quite fun (for my inner-geek anyway).  For once in my life, I'm the guru on something computer related...that doesn't happen very often.

3. These cookies. They are on my list to bake this weekend.  If they go well you'll hear about them; if they don't, not so much...

4.  "Imagine How Creativity Works" by Jonah Lehrer: I've been dying to read this since I saw the cover mostly because it's so pretty.  But hearing what it's about has gotten me excited to read it as well. I work in an office that's not exactly what you might call "creative" so hearing ideas to make it that way, makes me happy.

5. Anthropologie.com: My birthday was last week and I received an Anthropologie gift card.  I've recently fallen in love with their clothes due to the fact I've given up feeling like I can't pull them off (I still feel this way but I just don't care anymore).  I've basically been surfing their site all week drooling over every item trying to decide what to use my gift card for.
