Rant: That jor's Freaky Friday Post gets hijacked!

Rave: jor got to start this week's Freaky Friday post!

Rave: got a couple of great deals and am heading to Phoenix tomorrow for the weekend, so it was like Friday today.

mini-Rant: forecast for Phoenix is high of 108 and a low of 88 on Friday. Highs on Saturday of 109 to 113. So there are some reasons for the good deals. I always thought that the UV Index scale topped out at 10 - High. Was surprised to see an index of 11 - Extreme.

Rave--At a football parents meeting earlier this week a guy recognized me from college! We were good friends then and haven't seen each other since our wedding and then lost touch...so it was quite a surprise!

Rave: Cubbies are on a roll (thanks Nomar!)

Rant: School starts in 20 days, where did summer go??

RANT - For those people who can't grasp the concept of the "Freaky Friday ...." The key word is FRIDAY. Not Thursday, not Saturday - FRIDAY!! Friday comes - BOOM - you post. 11:59 on Friday night (EST for purity sake) you stop posting and BEHOLD the majesty that is the FFR&R.

You start posting the "Freaky Friday.." early, next thing you know, some guy decides he wants his Freaky rants and raves WHENEVER he pleases!!! (Honestly, does Monday really qualify as Freaky? You really want a Mundane Monday Rant& Rave? Well I for one SAY - NAY!!)

When the sanctity of Friday is disregarded my friends, can ANARCHY be far behind? I implore, no BEG YOU, keep alive the spirit and purity of the "FREAKY FRIDAY RANT" and BOYCOTT, SHUN AND OSTRACIZE those who would corrupt the FFR&R for their own sinister reasons!

Um - Ryan?? Are you going to be okay??
:)
Rave: On Sunday I get to go up to Muskoka to hear my sweetie and his choir sing a concert.
Rant: We have to get up at some ungodly hour - rehearsal is at 10:30 AM and it's a 2-hour-plus drive. On the way home we have to contend with traffic returning home after the weekend. EEK!
Rave: I love spending time with my sweetie even if it's in bumper-to-bumper traffic, so who cares? ((L))

Um...what Meesthare said (the first line).
Rave: It's Friday!!
Rant: I just know the weekend will come and go :-(

At-a-boy Ryan.

Rant: Those who try to patent a freaky freakin' friday post.

rave: travelinwifeys butt on the treadmill.

Rave: It's finally cool, clear, and crisp outside! I hear the garden calling...


Rant: In 3 weeks we'll be "empty nesters". I'm not ready for that! There MUST be a 'mistake' on youngest child's birth certificate!

Rave: We'll be emply nesters!!

Rant: Still can't believe now both my 'babies' will be away at college

Rave: When you write something so clearly absurd and over the top as a goof, expecting that people will realize how absurd it is, but then they take you seriously.

Rave: That we locked in our mortgage rate last week, before the interest rate rise that is about a 95% certainty for next Tuesday.
