1. So sick of this whole week from hell - very glad it's Friday.
2. Bought a pork roast for yesterday at the grocery store, put in the crock pot expecting a wonderful meal when I got home - but it was crap, bad texture, bad taste. I will not buy roasts anywhere except from a butcher from now on.
3. Finishing up a project I'm still nervous about but other than that should be a quiet day.
4. We're having fish tonight, too.
5. So looking forward to sleeping late tomorrow.

Cool!  Mine's coming the 9th through the 19th.  She's  never been out of the US before and didn't make it to our wedding in October so she'll be meeting Mike for the first time.  It's a huge big deal for her--should be fun!
