Friday First Five — 03/10/2006

1. Some days she envied the blissfully ignorant as they went about their daily routines of struggling to find a decent parking spot at the local Wal-mart or a sale on on iPod nanos.
2. Delaney was always the last to know.
3. Grandmother used to say that life was only good when the beer was cold, which is why, I suppose, she kept the keg in that fridge in the living room.
4. For Rose, it was love at first sight; one of those uniformed soldiers stranded in the airport with her would surely be Mr. Right.
5. Maureen so would not have worn that color with that leg cast.

Add your own in the comments section or on your own blog if you want to play along.

Happy writing!
