Revgalblogpal Friday Five: Positive Potpourri Edition

Greetings friends! It's been awhile since I've contributed to the posts here at the revgalblogpals website, but I agreed to step into the Fifth Friday of the Month Friday Five slot.

So here I be.

As I zip around the webring it is quite clear that we are getting BUSY. "Tis the season" when clergy and laypeople alike walk the highwire from Fall programming to Christmas carrying their balancing pole with family/rest on the one side and turkey shelters/advent wreaths on the other.

And so I offer this Friday Five with 5 quick hit questions... and a bonus:

1) Your work day is done and the brain is fried, what do you do?

2) Your work week is done and the brain is fried (for some Friday, others Sunday afternoon), what do you do?

3) Like most of us, I often keep myself busy even while programs are on the tv. I stop to watch The Office and 30 Rock on Thursday nights. Do you have 'stop everything' tv programming or books or events or projects that are totally 'for you' moments?

4) When was the last time you laughed, really laughed? What was so funny?

5) What is a fairly common item that some people are willing to go cheap on, but you are not.

Bonus: It's become trite but is also true that we often benefit the most when we give. Go ahead, toot your own horn. When was the last time you gave until it felt good?


Let us know in the comments if you played and I'll come around and visit. The first 50 are entered into a drawing for a new car (sorry, that's a lie. We are immersed in political attack ads here in the US that lie and so I thought I would join in). Seriously, go ahead and let us know if you play. I will visit. And buy you a new house (lie). The last person to do the Friday Five is a socialist and hangs out with computer viruses (STOP!).

  2. Well, I screwed up the posting and put this bad boy up right away so I figured I needed to get myself in the running for the new car.

    So here is mine albeit early.

  4. I'm not voting Tuesday...because I voted today! Love early voting!
    And after a brief hiatus, I'm back here.
    Thanks for the early posting, I'm going to be gone all day tomorrow and I hated to miss another one.

  5. I played early. I should be studying. But that's so... UN funny. And your Friday Five had me in serious giggles. Maybe it's the hour. Maybe it's because I sat and listened for an hour on-line to people arguing about Arminianism... and wanted to make ALL of my bad theology jokes...

    Two friends walk into a McDonalds, one a Calvinist and one an Arminian. As they both gazed up at the menu the clerk asked, “may I help you?”
    The Calvinist replied, “I can’t choose, you choose for me”.
    The Arminian said, "Wow, so many choices!”


    ...Then there was the predestinarian who fell down the stairs and walked away muttering, "Well! Thank God that's over!"

    OK. OK. I'll stop. I have to finish my essay anyway. My post is HERE!

  19. I will likely play later but I think a question is missing---"it is the beginning of the work week and your brain is fried, what do you do"

    OR is that just me???????

  21. Hey, that was fun--what a great set of questions! Can't wait to read the others' answers, too.

    I played here, and would like to tag all of you for the "sung theology" meme directly below.

  22. I've already voted... so please don't destroy my computer which is acting like it's fixing to die anyway. (Apple here I come!)

    I found yet another way to procrastinate writing my sermon and posted my Friday Five here.
