Five Minute Friday: Ordinary

It's time for another Five Minute Friday! 

It's a Gypsy-Mama thing, and it's a good one. I've missed it the past couple of months.

Here are the rules.

If you have a blog--you should so do it. If you don't have a blog, you should do it anyway. Just sayin'.

It's Five Minutes of pure blog adrenaline.

Five minutes of writing on one word. Period. No editing. No nothing. No pressure. No stress.

This week's prompt is Ordinary.

Ready? Set.

Go.

_______________________________________________

Dear Ordinary,
I don't love you. You and your BFFs, Mundane and Common, are comforting to many introverts, but to the extroverted sanguines like me, we tend to shudder at the sound of your name.
Ordinary.
I'm sorry. I just don't love you or the crew with which you run.
We just don't jive together.
And, let me tell you, it's definitely not me.
It's you. You are just so...average.
I'm just not cut out for the status quo.
So, I'm leaving you.
I want Awesome.

Sincerely,
Me.


Stop.

Ok. That was so fun. I've really missed it.

What would you say to Ordinary?

Friday Favorites.

The other day I said to one of the Sisters, "I can still smell the sunscreen on youuuu! So good. You know that's my favorite smelllll!"
"Mom, that's a weird favorite smell."
Well. Whatever. Sunscreen is the smell of funness. <--- Should be a word.
It is a glorious smell and, yes, on occasion, I even wear it. Judge.
I'll even take the sweat that goes along with it because that's how wonderful it is.

I have a couple of other favorite smells. I have favorite other stuff, too.
So today, is

Just-for-Fun Friday Favorites.

Feel free to judge.

This post will in no way challenge you or change your life.

{Fruit} 

Pineapple.

The ultimate tropical fruit. The stuff is heavenly.

Watermelon.

Happy. It's the Official Fruit of Summer. Pretty sure that's a law.

{Bath & Body}

Irish Spring Body Wash.

I'm not all about those tootie frootie washes. 

The smell of clean from this stuff comes second only to the sunscreen awesomeness. 

The post-workout shower.

See above.

Acrylic on my big toes. 

Judge.

Moroccan Oil.

Makes my hair less visible from space. And it has a good smell.

Mascara.

If I had to choose one, this would be it. 

{Office Supplies}

Old school legal pad.

I recently bought my first pack in a long time. 

Canary yellow is where it's at.

Sharpies.

I've expressed my love for the all things Sharpie before. 

But pair the Sharpie pen with the legal pad?! Bless the bliss.

{Clothes & Accessories}

I can't believe I just typed the word "accessories" in my blog! Not a big accessories girl.

Palm Tree Necklace.

I do have a few accessories (three times now!) and this is my fave. By far.

The peasant skirt & dressy flip flops.

For the newbies, peasants are my uniform and dressy flip flops are a thing in Florida. 

Maybe parts of Texas, too, I don't know. 

{Movies}

Remember the Titans.

Denzel. Cutesy little curly-headed Hayden Panatierre. Strong side.

Good Will Hunting.

How do you like them apples?

Orange County.

Judge. I know you just lost all respect for me.

{Fiction}

To Kill a Mockingbird.

Can't beat it. 

Before Women Had Wings.

More contemporary. Takes place in Tampa. 

Oprah made it into a movie which I've never seen.

These books are funny because I abhor birds.

{Place}

Beach. 

Period. 

What are some of your favorites?
