Friday Favorites – Week Ending April 13, 2007
By KWiz | April 13, 2007
It’s been a busy week, with the Imus controversy and all. I received some really great comments in response to “Sticks and Stones…”, so I’ll generate a separate post with those comments (partly because I lost some of them in the post and I can retrieve them by email) in the next couple of days.
But today’s feature is my favorites for the week. Highlighted in this week’s Favorites:
Favorite #1 – My blog exists to try to help us all (men too!) share and attain wisdom. Sometimes we want the latest and greatest revelation, thinking that “that something new” is the latest and greatest panacea for all our woes. But are those cures always so elusive? Wendy at eMoms At Home provides some insight in her post “Have You Bought Into the Lie of the Missing Piece?”
Favorite #2 – Have you ever walked by an individual on the street, the elevator, the job, and made an assumption about him or her, or prejudged that person because of his or her appearance? It’s human nature to do so – I don’t think any of us are immune. The author of Observations In Life shares an admission that he made an inaccurate assumption of, well… Read his post entitled “On Assumptions About People” to get the whole story.
Favorite #3 – Remember when your mother warned you, “Don’t cross your eyes. They’ll get stuck!”? Ririan at ririanproject reminds us of those warnings reassuring us that these are “15 Warnings From Mom That You Needn’t Worry About.” What do you think about those crossed eyes? See what Ririan says about it and other common motherly misconceptions.
I had one more post I was excited to share today, but when I double-checked the link, the site did not load. Hopefully the site authors will fix the problem because the post demonstrates such wonderful creativity and I think many of you would enjoy it. Maybe next week…
Favorite #4 – I was caught a bit off guard by this one. Do you think books are only meant for reading? Portachi at Fun Forever will show you that some people think differently in the post “Don’t try this at home!” I really enjoyed this post because it demonstrates the wonderfully creative things you can do with books in ways I’ve never seen before. Let me know what you think.
Favorite #5 – An addition that I just found that I couldn’t wait until next week to include. Melanie at A Quiet Symphony posted “18 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity.” Yes, insanity! It is hilarious!
That concludes this week’s edition of my Friday Favorites. As always, take a look at the sites and leave comments!

Hey, there. Thanks a lot for complimenting my blog “editorial” (I knew my insanity would take me places… lol). I’m glad you got a laugh or two. Your blog is really great; I’m enjoying myself. ^_^
