Friday five

:: I have a nasty bruise on my leg that's preventing me from wearing shorts or skirts. Seriously guys, it's been almost two weeks since I've felt confident in wearing shin-bearing apparel. I wore a skirt the other day and had a few comments about my gross bruise. I've reverted back to jeans until my leg no longer resembles a photo of the cosmos.

:: Sherlock. We found it on Netflix and are huge fans. It's a 21st-century take on the quintessential detective, and I find it delightful. Each season is only three episodes long, but each episode is 90 minutes. I read that BBC is airing another season in the fall. I'll be watching. Obviously.


:: I still haven't folded the laundry. And once I finally get that done it'll probably take me another whole week to actually put it away. And then I'll have to wash the dirty clothes, and the cycle starts over.

:: Colorado. Next week. Can't wait.

:: Floating shoes. In our office. If you've wondered what we actually do here, we do stuff like this. {Well, what I actually do is sign for packages and refill the Coca-Cola.}


Happy Friday, everyone, and let's hope that traffic on the way home isn't the worst. Because, honestly, come week's end, my patience for bad traffic and late buses is less than zero.

It's your friday! YAY!

Charlotte, I am the exact same the laundry. The exact. Same. I actually hide all the clean laundry in the dryer so it doesn't seem like i actually have 3 loads to fold. and hang up. and put away. uggggh. do you ever wash a load and then it sits in your washer for WAY longer than you intended? it's the worst.

the shorter gentleman in the Sherlock photo is playing Bilbo in the new hobbit movies. I know this because my 11 year old brother and i compete for how much information about the hobbit we can find out before the other sibling does....

i'm excited for monday with you =]

I signed up for Netflix last night because full streaming of Bones and the HBO series on the Kennedys (seriously, they are fascinating to me now that I live in Boston).

I am SO excited to check out Sherlock. I love Sherlock Holmes. Have you ever read the Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King? She's a girl who meets Sherlock Holmes after he's retired; they become friends and he starts to teach her how to be more perceptive. So fun. The Beekeeper's Apprentice is the first one, check them out.

I love your banner!

I have heard good things about Sherlock and put in our queue. I will definitely watch it now that it has your approval!

What is the nasty bruise from? A biking bruise perhaps? It takes me forever to heal from wounds like that too, so I feel your pain.

I find laundry to be much easier if I get it done right away rather than letting clothes sit in the dryer. Also, I do one load every day or so in an effort not to have to do it all at once, so I usually don't mind doing it.

P.S. I forgot to say that Randy and I LOVE Sherlock! It is highly addictive so we went through those episodes way too fast.

Claire said...

I know how you feel about going to Colorado! How fortunate that you get to go soon, too. Enjoy your time there!

I bruise far too easily and always have bruises that seem to come from nowhere. I've never had had one that looks like the cosmos, however!

I definitely want to check out Sherlock now.

Susan said...

I guess I am wondering just how long you can really keep doing that job?!! Creativity can only be tucked away so long!

Oh well, carry on.

emily said...

I'm sorry, but I still don't see how you find Sherlock the man attractive.

jt said...

Huh, I may be with Emily on this one. But I will have to see him in action to judge accurately. Thanks for the suggestion!

If I waited for my legs to not be bruised, scratched, or scarring, I would never be able to show my legs in public. So I proudly bear my battle wounds and tell the fantastic story that always accompanies them. Good luck with the bruise.

How did i just see this? I'm OBSESSED with Sherlock!! Did you hear that they announced that they will do some more episodes???? Granted we had to wait a year for the announcement and will have to wait probably just as long for them to air (in true BBC manner), but STILL!!!!
