Casual Friday with Mir—because some days are made for wearing your jeans and surfing the blogs.

Good morning! I’ve been fighting a cold all week, and I would like nothing more than to go back to bed and curl up with some good blogs. Oh, wait a minute… there’s no one here, so I may do just that. I’ve even got some great blogs to get me started.

• Courtney’s no Miss Muffet, but her spider lied to her.
• There’s a difference between an accident and an awesome surprise.
• You know I’m an ardent carnivore, but this may turn me vegetarian (or at least give me nightmares).
• Jen calls it empathy, but I’m thinking it sounds a lot like revenge.
