Five Things for Friday
1. Bad news: I had jury duty on Monday. Good news: I didn’t get selected as a juror! Phew! Instead I got to sit around for almost SIX hours before being told there weren’t enough cases that day, and we were free to go. There was some very interesting people watching that day. The DMV and jury duty bring about the most bizarre mix of people.
2. I’ve been fighting a cold this week, and I’m pretty sure the cold won. I’m convinced it’s because of all the people I was surrounded by at jury duty. I’ve easily gone through 2 boxes of Kleenex and a whole bottle of DayQuil. Thankfully I’m finally starting to feel better. Thank goodness for hot tea with lemon and honey.
3. We’ve been housesitting and dog sitting for my sister’s in-laws this week. Since we don’t have a DVR loaded with our favorite shows, we’ve been binge watching Shark Tank OnDemand. I am obsessed with this show. Makes me want to invent something amazing.
4. Speaking of having no DVR, I watched a few episodes of Boy Meets World and Full House reruns on ABC Family this week too. Did you guys just love those shows growing up? Imagine how excited I was about this Full House reunion on Jimmy Fallon, hilarious!
5. I’m not that in to football and the Superbowl, but I can’t wait for the Puppy Bowl! How cuuute is the starting lineup? And all of them are up for adoption. I want them all!

I’ve been on vacation and came back with a cold! Thankfully I didn’t get sick while on vacation. I completely forgot about hot tea with honey and lemon. So glad you posted it & I hope you’re feeling better!
Hope you are feeling better by now!
Must watch the puppy bowl, sounds so cute and I’m not o into the Super Bowl anyhow.
I have such a soft spot for the Puppy Bowl! They are just so darn cute. Hope you feel better soon!
Natalie, I hope you’re feeling better :)
I’m totally not into the super bowl either. Phew is right for jury duty. I got called last year and fortunately got out of it because of having children to care for. (They called me in the summer.) Um…no I’m not sending me kids to camp that costs $500 just to come to jury duty.
Glad your cold is starting to feel better!
Glad you didn’t get picked for jury duty! When I had it I didn’t get picked either, but I had to come back a 2nd day because they weren’t decided. My husband had to do it once for 3 weeks!
Hope you’ll feel better soon girl!
Yikes, hope you feel better soon Natalie but phew, thankfully you didn’t get selected as a juror. Haha, loved Full House and Boy Meets World and oh my goodness the Puppy Bowl sounds awesome! They’re all adorable – hope they are all able to find good homes :) Have a great weekend girl and hope you feel better soon :)
Oh boy, feel better! I’m convinced the last time I had a bad cold I caught it from spending 3+ hours at the DMV. And I would gladly accept any(/all) of the puppy line-up with open arms! I think within one week, max, of us moving into a place where dogs are allowed we’re heading out to the nearest adoption!
Enjoy your weekend :)
I love Shark Tank!! It’s very inspiring–totally agree. Although it would probably be something food-related and Kevin would say its non-proprietary (HA).
Also, umm….I just checked out the Puppy Bowl lineup and am crushing on Aurora. Too cute!
I LOVE Shark Tank! Did you see the one last week with Freshly Picked on it?
I hope your cold goes away and you are back to 100% in no time! You can eat raw garlic as soon as you feel a cold coming on and it will shorten the life of a cold. It’s yucky, but it works!
Sick, noooo! I think everyone and their mom is sick right now, or just got over it.
We don’t have DVR either, we just use Netflix and illegal Asian sites that my husband finds. It’s an adventure for sure.
I saw that Jimmy Fallon clip, good times! i LOVED full house when I was a kid. I was the youngest of 5 and all my siblings were way too old and mature for it (so they said), so I would watch it by myself and when I could hear them coming upstairs I would hurry and change the channel. Haha.
Happy weekend to you too Natalie!
Whew, glad you didn’t get selected for jury duty. Just going there for selections is such a long day. I bet you saw some interesting people :D I’m glad you are beginning to feel better, hot tea with lemon and honey is my favorite for colds.
Speaking of puppy bowl, have you seen Too Cute! I can watch that show all day with all those puppies and kitties. :D Have a great weekend!
I swear, this is getting out of hand! We both loooooove Boys Meets World, we both think the Puppy Bowl is the best entertainment during this football weekend…and…we both had jury duty! No joke.
I didn’t spend 6 hours at the courthouse, thankfully. I spent just over 3 hours there on Wednesday. They had about 40 potential jurors show up, we went through an orientation, then they called 19 names at random (I wasn’t one of them). Those 19 people were questioned–in front of everyone, even those whose names weren’t called, just in case–about all kinds of events in their lives by the plaintiff and defendant counsels. That took nearly 2 hours! Then each counsel got to “strike down” three of those people, leaving 12 jurors and an alternate. During all the questions, the counsels shared a lot of info about the lawsuit. I left wondering what would happen! It was my first time being called in, and I’m on the list until June 30. We shall see…
I hope you are feeling better! The puppies need you at 100% for Sunday! :)
Natalie! Did you know that I am an expert on not getting picked for a jury? I am always the first to be dismissed. Let me know if you get called again and I will give you all my hints…..
An expert huh?! I will *definitely* be calling you if I get chosen again. It’s crazy too because I went in for jury duty July 2012. Thought it was weird that I got called back again so soon. But I was talking to one of the employees there, and she said that your name gets submitted from the DMV and Social Security Office, so if the spelling is different on both, say middle initial on one and full middle name on the other, then that counts as 2 different entries. So maybe that’s why I got selected again so soon. Will have to fix that when it’s time to renew my license again. Have a good weekend Caryn!
1. I had jury duty last summer and it was same…sat around the whole day and didn’t get selected. Fun stuff. ;)
2. Oh no! Feel better soon!
3. I’ve never seen Shark Tank.
4. Our DVR is old and my hubby keeps saying we should replace. It still works and I refuse to buy another. I’ll regret that decision when it finally dies. Loved Boy Meets World and loved Full House even more. I could always count on the dramatic music at the end of ever Full House episode when it was time to have “the moment.” ;)
5. That Puppy Bowl is WAY too cute!
Have a lovely weekend my friend! :)
Haha, yes, the dramatic music at the end of Full House. The best! Have a good weekend too Tina!
The people-watching at the DMV (called the MVA in Maryland — eh, I don’t know) and jury duty is definitely interesting! I’d like to add eying the strange mixture of people at the Social Security Administration, too. I was there in the fall to change my name (what a delightful experience!), and I’m not kidding when I say I’ve never seen such a strange, incongruous group of folks in one room!
That is so crazy it’s called the MVA in Maryland?! I wonder why. Social Security Admin is super great for people watching too. I was stuck in there for an hour when I had to change my last name after I got married too! Picture me sitting there trying my best not to stare at the wacko’s. Including the employees, haha!
So glad you didn’t have to be a juror and I seriously hope you feel better.
I dislike the Superbowl also..but how have I not heard of the puppy bowl?! ADORBS x 2 million and 12!
Tate! You must watch the Puppy Bowl. It’s on the Animal Planet commercial free the whole time the Superbowl is on. It’s so adorable you might die.
