Five Star Friday's Edition #75

The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by the means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?

   — Marquis de Sade

The Marquis de Sade really made a name for himself. Even mentioning him somehow seems lascivious. Spicy!

Today's Five Star Friday is also brought to you by priority shifts, baseball, budgeting, baths, branding, paint chips, the Beatles, pregnancy, the pouring rain, tweens, Momversation, singular beings, therapy, rubbish days, battles of the wills, relatively significant events, Germany, ageing, issues of race, a food documentary, birth, depression, ADHD, and microwave cooking.

Happy Friday!
