Pretty Bouquet

Dear Twitter,

Thank you for Rdio.  I have been listening to non-stop old-school Tori Amos and being fantastically productive in my yard and it's all because Twitter is the best place in the world to work gave us the gift of Rdio.

Just look at what I made!

  Okay, so I didn't MAKE Groovy-James, but he is my little shadow.  He follows me around everywhere these days.  He even waits outside of the bathroom while I take my shower.  He's always got his eye on me.

From The Yard

Each weekend I pick a fresh bouquet of flowers from my yard to display on my kitchen table.  As I've previously expressed, fresh, real, colorful, beautiful flowers are one of my simplest joys in life.  I just love walking around my yard on Saturday morning, clipping whatever catches my eye, arranging and enjoy it for the week.  

This week, I decided to keep my flowers outside!  I have a feeling that we'll be spending more time out there than we will at our kitchen table and I love the way they look in the sunlight!

I have so much lavender.  I LOVE lavender oil.  I wonder how hard it is to make it.  I imagine that it's quite the process, but I'm thinking about researching it more.  There's a cupcake shop in Philly called the Flying Monkey Bakery that makes lavender cupcakes.  I feel inspiration possessing me!  

For the time being, it's just a fragrant addition to my flower arrangement!

I'm going to get back to my lazy Saturday at home.  

I think that I'm going to put on a swimsuit and lay outside.  I need to finish up the TERRIBLE book that I've been reading so that I can blog about the trilogy.  The first two books were terrible in something of a good way (kind of like Britney Spears is) but this last book has been unbearable and I'm struggling to finish it.
