Five Thoughts for Friday

1. Ear Worm
Is it just me, or is this little ditty stuck in anyone else's head?:

Swimming, soccer, ballet, oboe, and last but not least: KAR-A-TAY-A...
Swimming, soccer, ballet, oboe, and one more time: KAR-A-TAY-A.

Makes me want to eat some doughnuts.

2. Boy or Girl?
Today's the day, hopefully. Come on kid, show Mommy and Daddy and the ultrasound technician your "special place". From this day forward, until your 18th birthday, you should always keep that private, unless it's bath time. But today, we need you to cooperate so we know what color to paint your room and we can stop calling you "it".

3. American Idol
I wouldn't say I'm officially a member of the "Soul Patrol". I haven't paid any membership dues or joined any mailing lists, but I am pulling for Taylor Hicks. Let's hear it for premature gray!!! I'm slowly morphing into more of a salt-and-pepper guy, myself.

4. Tivo Alert
Going Tribal is back for its second season. Tuesdays 10pm on the Discovery Channel. Do yourself a favor and watch it. Keep an eye out for reruns. It is quite possibly the finest show on television.

5. Number 5
I should have named this post "Four Thoughts for Friday". I would have still achieved the level of alliteration I was going for, and I could have avoided this drivel about not having an appropriate thought for the 5th thing on this list.
