the friday five.

serious spring fever has set in.  i can’t seem to get enough of outside.  and dirt.  and plants.  i may pitch a tent in my backyard.  i did manage to come inside for a bit this week.  but that was only to…

  1. eat radishes – the radishes from the market are amazingly good.  i have been putting them in everything from sandwiches to chicken salad.  make sure you buy the kind with the greens still attached.  they are much fresher tasting that way.
  2. get my kids ready for school and work – my son the landscaper brought me these home from the nursery.  isn’t he sweet?  i wonder if he can get me a job?
  3. go shopping at tarzhay – i scored some cute shorts and tanks this week.  and some really cool solar powered lanterns for the patio.  or for when i’m camping in the back yard.
  4. attack a sudoku puzzle – i am generally a crossword chick.  however, the sudoku is growing on me.
  5. download the new lower dens cd – i have been so busy that i totally forgot about this release!!  i stumbled upon a review on pitchfork (an 8.2) and immediately downloaded it.  an instant fave!!

have a glorious weekend, blog peeps. anybody know any good campfire songs??

peace – jodi.

anticipation.

as if the lilac bushes that surround the front of our house weren’t enough to send me into fresh flower delirium, the peonies in the back are getting ready to burst!!

i. cannot. wait.

peace – jodi.

back in the swing.

after spending much of the weekend gloriously unplugged, it has been slow getting back into the electronic routine.  i blame it on the intoxicating scent of fresh lilacs that has been perfuming our house since saturday.

i may have to put a call into dr. drew if this continues!

peace – jodi.

the friday five.

the last 3 weeks have been an all-out assault on the very last shreds of my sanity.  i think i may have survived in tact.  the jury, however, is still out.  my goal this weekend is to become one with mother earth and destroy the weeds that have grown so vociferously while i have been chained to my computer.  my other goal is to not touch my computer all weekend.  while i ponder these lofty goals, please ponder the following…

  1. sherlock – this magnificent masterpiece mystery series returned for a 3 episode run on sunday night.  please check your local listings and catch this wickedly fast and brilliantly written modern day interpretation of sir arthur conan doyle’s “high-functioning sociopath”.  it’s genius!!
  2. my parents – as i mentioned earlier in the week, my darling parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last weekend.  aren’t they so cute??
  3. the end of lacrosse season – tonight is my son’s final regular season lax game.  i am going to miss watching him play.  i am not going to miss the traveling.  or the laundry.
  4. donzell’s garden center – my oldest just got a summer job here.  i hope they give family discounts!
  5. cute video alert!! – just more proof that dogs rule.

i hope your weekend rules. see you back on monday loaded up on alleve and an ice pack!

peace – jodi.

the spice rack.

the universe is in disarray and nothing makes sense anymore.  human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria. (name that movie.)  the reason?  THIS is what my spice rack looks like:

hold me.

peace – jodi.
