Found this great meme over at Linda’s place and thought I would give it a whirl. Susanne from Living to Tell the Story states that Friday’s Fave Five is:

a place to come on Friday’s and think back over your week and just post about 5 favorite things from your week. It can be anything that tickled your fancy over the week. Favorite quotes, posts, happenings, scriptures, recipes, pictures, great internet finds, etc., etc.

So although it is Saturday….while my Korean Beef and Sticky Rice dinner is cooling off to “safe enough to eat temperature”, I thought I would write a bit about the five things that tickled my fancy over the past week.

1. Our income tax was direct deposited! Yippee!!! We hit the home improvement stores today to start working on our “Honey Do” lists!!
2. I found a fabulous daily devotional, The Daily God Book: A Year of Listening For God. As you know, one of my biggest challenges over the years has been to keep that ear tuned in to those whispers…I pretty much recognize the yells (okay..every now and then I recognize them).
3. I have been thinking about putting an inspirational quote on the board at the beginning of each class period. I thought this would be a good one to start with:        ”No one can touch others’ lives exactly as you can.”   This is from The Daily God Book.
4. I FINALLY found a brand of jeans that FIT and DON’T cost an arm and two legs. Lee Relaxed Fit Straight Leg (actually they are boot cut – I guess straight leg isn’t what it was in the 80’s). I bought two more pairs at JC Penney today…along with that other “hard to find/hate to shop for item….the dreaded B…R….A…..I saved $50.00 on my purchases!! Woot!
5. Sam and I found a great Asian Market in Gainesville this week. We bought some sweet rice (I used it tonight to make the sticky rice), seaweed (to make rice balls) and a curry sauce that Sam wants to try.

What great and exciting moments did you experience this week?
