1. I was working at the school this morning when they had a fire drill. It was kind of freaky to experience something like that again (it's been like 20 years since I've had to line up single file and calmly walk outside).
2. I stopped at Sonic today to get a drink for Michelle and a cup of ice for me and it took 15 minutes to get it! Good grief. There were only 2 cars in the drive thru, but I know that can be slow so I pulled into one of the carhop places. It took so long that I started looking around to see if I was on candid camera or something. When the guy finally brought the drinks he scared the crap out of me. I startle so easily, it's embarrassing.
3. I cut out 3 sets of good mail labels, made several cards, and wrote 8 cards while at Michelle's house today. Michelle had a somewhat stressful Creative Friday thanks to Eva fighting her nap for an hour and a half. Poor Michelle.
4. Adam, Amy and the girls came over for game night tonight. Fortunately I was in good form (I ruined game night due to wicked PMS several weeks ago) but we had a fun night. Megan actually slept the entire time, so we were amazingly kid-free tonight.
5. I got a nice note from Laurie M. today. We went to lunch together on Wednesday and spent 2 hours at JCW's talking. Blogging friends are fabulous. Check out Laurie's blog sometime, she posted her 100 list today.
Amanda sent me the link for this video clip after reading this post, so I had to add it. I don't react in the same way, but the skittishness is similar and made me laugh out loud. Thanks Amanda, this looks like a show I would love.
**When was your last fire drill?
Have you sent any cards this week?
Do you ever fear you're on candid camera?**

I'm sorry Eva was in a bad way, but hey at least you got a break with Megan. On the way home we realized we were indeed in serious trouble. On the way home she cried asking why she didn't get to play at whitney's house. It quickly stopped, but her eyes were open the whole way home and I knew we, I, was in for a long night. And I was. She was up for hours and then ended up sleeping with us. I must say it was worth it though. A meg free night...good times.
I hate it when it takes so long for customer service, especially when they don't even have the excuse of being busy.
Our school had an unplanned fire drill last year when my friend was there for a meeting (with her littles) & her preschool age twins set the alarm off (pulled the red switch). She jokes about it now, but was sooo mortified at the time!heehee -ciao
Sadly I have almost boycotted Sonic all together due to them getting rid of .99 drinks and they are SO slow. I would have been startled as well.
Fun to have game night and hook up with Laurie!
What takes so long to get a cup of ice and a drink!? Glad you got so much stuff done and had a fun game night!
I think a fire drill would freak me out now that I am an adult (I loved it as a kid because it meant a break from being in class!!)
I think I would freak out if I had to experience a fire drill at this point in my life too. My poor little first grader had one a few weeks ago and ended up in tears. He is really sensitive to loud noises and the whole event was just a bit too much!
I have cards written and packages ready (still two more to go) but the end of the week got away from me so they haven't been sent yet. A Monday job for sure, it feels good to be as done as I am.
My kids haven't ever talked about a fire drill. And I can't remember the last time I was in one. HS maybe?
I want to meet as many bloggers as you! So fun to have lunch with Laurie. One day when I get to Utah, bloggers are on my agenda!
A fine five for Friday! F,f,f! I can't feel my teeth!
How funny about your shock at Sonic (you'd go mental at how long service takes here in GB!) - did you react a bit like this lady? She cracks me up, I love her.

Fun Five For Friday- where did that idea come from? or does asking that question show my lack of blog reading?
Five for Friday is sweeping the nation -- yahoo! :)
Brynlee had 3 firedrills in one day last week because the alarm was not going off correctly in her classroom. The teachers have got to hate those, too.
All my kids had fire drills on Friday also. Since we live in the same city, must have been a school district thing. We live a block from Jr High and Elemtary school So when their fire drills sounded I could hear them.
I have yet to go to Sonic to eat. I don't think I have ever been there. Think I need to try it. All the talk about pepple ice has me thinking I might be missing something.
Such a fun list! I know what you mean about the drills. I helped in Preston's class when we lived in Kansas, and would actually get teary eyed during the tornado drills, seeing all the kids kneeling on the floor against the wall, lined up with their heads tucked down. Always got me.
Glad to hear game night went better this time. :)
Last night we went through the drive-thru at sonic to get DH a slushie drink, and he tipped the person $2 on a $2.50 drink. What??? I asked him if he noticed and he just wasn't paying attention. But if he keeps making mistakes like that they are going to start thinking their service is good or something!
That video clip was funny funny.
I like that my kids have fire drills, but I hate that we live in a world where my kids have 'lock down' drills at school. Does your school have these?
Fire alarms were always scary to me, and although we were no suppose to, I always grabbed my favorite pencil before I left.
haven't had a fire drill in a long time. not that i can even remember. though i do remember tornado drills quite well.
Don't feel the need to stop at Sonic on your way here anymore -- it's too crazy long to wait for a drink! I've had several Sonic visits like that and I'm about ready to boycot them (gasp).
It sure was nice having you here on Friday. I wish you were here chatting with me right now to take my mind off of Eva's never-ending screams...
I Love the video Amanda sent you! That was hilarious!
I have sent a couple of cards this week!
Hey~ I love, love, love those Jill stamps- so cool.
I went to sonic twice this month!
There isn't one even near me- but there is one by my sister's who I obviously went to see twice this month.
is that a stamp of yours that i see? can't believe you got startled after waiting that long...
Self-portraits suit you! Unfortunately, it's not a good angle for me.... I'm happy to be a recipient of your Creative Friday efforts!
I want a Sonic drink.
I love the postage stamps with your picture on them.
