Friday
Did you know that the English word, Friday, is derived from Viking days? I always thought that everything about our calendar came from the Romans. But Friday is in honor of Frigg, the wife of the Viking god, Odin. I came across this tidbit while clicking through Wikipedia. Maybe it is time for me to read up on Norse mythology – I don’t remember much from when we had to study that back in high school. But now I am interested in the subject, it will probably mean a lot more to me now than it did back then.

Fall
Today everyone was complaining about the cold weather and how they aren’t ready for the season. I love this season and all the layers you get to wear. I’ve always been more fond of getting warm in the Winter as opposed to Summer and having to cool down. I’m looking forward to getting some new clothes and accessories. Cardigans are big again this year and I want them all. H&M has a bunch of good choices, I’ve been eyeing them for a while. Hope I can find it on sale soon, everything feels better on sale.

Dont Poke Me
Why does Facebook have a “poke” feature? I think poking is a bad thing. It is rude. It is pain. It is not something I welcome. I won’t use their poke feature and don’t want anyone to poke me, either.

Meatloaf
Some days I am at a restaurant and I wish there was meatloaf on the menu. I get tired of the same old steak/chicken/burgers variety. I want meatloaf – like my mom used to make. And mashed potatoes and peas. With apple pie for dessert. I miss my mom’s meatloaf dinners.

Teddy Bear
Did you have a teddy bear as a kid? I know there are different iconic toys that people have over the years. I had a rocking horse that I loved to ride. I had a big wheel bike, but couldn’t wait until I got a real bike. Once I got my 20″ bike, I was free! I rode that bike all over town. Funny how a bike was my most favorite toys and other people lament the loss of their teddy bears.
