Grey Friday the 13th

There's been a lot of grey skies this week. The waves were even wilder and woollier this morning when I drove by the beach, but of course, I didn't have my camera on me in the car!(as usual) Even if I had, I could not have stopped to shoot some pictures because I was running late for work.(as usual)

So, these images are of the slightly calmer ocean at around 4:00 this afternoon--the rain was only a drizzle at this point and there were actually surfers out in the surf. Crazy!

I have missed a few week's worth of these, but I am in the mood to do a Friday Fill-in again. Please go over to Janet's Friday Fill-in blog if you want to participate, too.

1. The last band I saw live was _____________Guster.(back in July in Newport.) For a sweet clip of them performing in Washington with a children's choir, click here(scroll down to second video clip)--nice singing and whistling by the kids on the stage--wish I could have been there for that!)

2. What I look forward to most on Thanksgiving is _________the day after when I can make a Pilgrim Sandwich with the left-overs. Sliced turkey, some stuffing(!), cranberry sauce, and a light schmeer of mayo on a bulky roll.

3. My Christmas/holiday shopping is __________almost done(this is a first).

4. Thoughts of _____________ all the other things I *should* be doing as I type out this Friday Fill-in just before suppertime, fill my head.

5. I wish I could wear ______________high heels without feeling self-conscious walking in them.

6. Bagpipes ________thrill me.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _____toasting an acquaintance's 50th birthday here , tomorrow my plans include _____some house cleaning(needs it bad), making a big bowl of fruit salad for the family up the street who just had a death in the family and a women's basketball game at the university that I was given free tickets to because no one goes to the women's basketball team games but now I don't want to either except my sister is expecting to go with me....

and Sunday, I want to _____ just relax a little. There's a wake, too, that we'll be going to in the afternoon. Very sad, that'll be(for the husband of my daughter's cross-country coach and this family lives just up the street from us, too--very unexpected).
