A Very Rainy Friday (Here Be Blog Memes)

Well, thank you, those two of you who took pity on me Wednesday! lol I now have...


Just kidding. I now have 100 Followers! I wish I had stuff to giveaway or something, but I'm a part-time casual/seasonal administrative assistant, so I don't. BUT I'm declaring that that will change soon, as one of the other admins just picked up another job! This department tends to keep its people, so the chances that I will be full time soon are HIGH!


And now for Fast Five Friday! This is created by the Cover Girls, Dani and Jax, who also do the Express Yourself Weekly meme, which is also below. You can visit their blog and participate by posting your own Fast Five answers and then commenting with the link to your post.

Today, they want us to rattle off 5 favorite classic literature novels that we adore. Some of mine are plays. I hope that's okay.

1. Death of a Salesman
2. The Glass Menagerie
3. Taming of the Shrew
4. A Christmas Carol
5. The Great Gatsby


For Express Yourself, they would also like to know what our favorite cookie/cake is.

I LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies. They're not only tasty, but you can eat them guilt-free any time of the day! Chocolate chip comes in a close second, but it has to be a really good chocolate chip cookie. I also love mousse cake and a Boston creme-style cake (though it doesn't have to have the chocolate frosting. I just love the pudding).


What are your favorite classic novels? Or cookies? Or cakes? lol

Have a great weekend!

You're welcome! :)

I enjoyed some - oh, but not all! - of the classic novels I read back in school, but I'm stumped to think of any off the top of my head.

I can't think about cake and cookies now. Too early, too dangerous.

Congrats on reaching 100 followers! And oh, how exciting that your part-time job may be full-time soon. Will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Can you believe I've never read any of the books from your list?! I do remember how we were supposed to read The Great Gatsby in high school, but the semester was so close to over that my teacher was basically all, "Screw it." LOL.

I haven't read The Glass Menagerie, but googled it to read the summary. Sounds like a great play!
I love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and raisin, too. :)
Thank you for participating in Fast Five Friday and Express Yourself!

Congratulations on getting to 100! I've been holding steady at the same number for forever. But I don't do much to promote myself much anymore. Also - good luck with job.
