Friday Five

1. With everyone talking about Charles Manson marrying a 26 year old, there have been some wonderful (but so very wrong) jokes made on the topic.  My favorite came from someone extremely witty on Twitter.  "This relationship is obviously a May to Dismember relationship."  Ha!  Another good one said "Charles Manson must be saying 'she wants to marry me? Woah - red flag!'" I'm sure I'm going to hell for laughing but they're really too funny not to repeat.

2. Speaking of things that aren't funny but I find endlessly amusing nonetheless - I may have laughed a little too hard at yet another ridiculous pun of a joke (Currently my most favorite joke of all time is "Two pretzels were walking down the street and one was a salted.")  This week's was "I stand corrected said the man to his podiatrist." Ha!  Corny to say the least but made me giggle uncontrollably anyway.

3. I love having a project.  I'm having a super hard time nailing down Christmas presents to make this year or even finding a design for Christmas cards.  But I do have one project that I'm working on for some cute kids in my life.  I have high hopes that it will turn out as well as I think it will in my mind.  

4. The story making the rounds of the 100 year old woman seeing the ocean for the first time, may be the cutest story I've read all year.  I'm not sure why her 4 children couldn't have solved this problem a bit sooner, but seeing her beach bound sign is just too perfect for words. 

5. Finding a new restaurant is about the best feeling ever.  I get very excited to try new things but I'm often let down.  Tonight's new restaurant, Tino's in Columbia MD, was so much better than I could have even hoped.  It was probably the best meal I've had out in a long time.  Between the bread, the iced tea, the pasta and vodka sauce and the Chocolate (you heard that right, chocolate!) Creme Brulee, I came away very, very, happy and very, very, stuffed.
