Five Fives

Five songs I most recently downloaded:

1. Jerusalem, Choir of Westminster Abbey (because I watched the wedding + remembered how much I love that hymn)
2. You Were Never There, Diego Garcia (not sure where I heard it)
3. If You Don't Wanna Love Me, James Morrison (because it was on So You Think You Can Dance and I shazamed it)
4. Gravity, Sara Bareilles (because Maddy loves it)
5. Our Eyes, Teddy Geiger (because Lauren loves it; just ignore the cheesy video)

Five things we're having for dinner this week (can you tell that my meal motto is "easy peasy"?): 

1. homemade pizzas, cooked on the grill, cantaloupe
2. grilled chicken, spinach salad, orzo & shrimp salad
3. sandwich bar & potato salad, fresh fruit
4. pasta (red sauce and alfredo), fresh bread, green salad
5. rotisserie chicken tacos, watermelon 

Five things on my To Do list today:

1. laundry
2. plan meals
3. buy wedding gifts
4. grocery store
5. make reservations for L's family graduation dinner

Five things not on my To Do list that I've done anyway: 

1. spend browsy time online 
2. watch Larkrise to Candleford season 1 dvd while I fold laundry (and then some)
3. have a good, deep heart-to-heart with one of my kids (best thing all day)
4. worry a little for one of my kids who is sad
5. update my ipod and look for new apps (please tell me your favorites) 

Five things I'm looking forward to: 

1. Dinner with this lovely person tonight
2. My parents' arrival this week
3. Lauren's graduation in a week and a bit
4. Seeing this with my sister in June
5. Summer plans (although the kids don't get out until June 27th. I know, right?!)

How about you? Do share...

Hey. Your lovely dinner companion sent me a 40th birthday card! The niceness of some people! Tell her I said 'hi'.

Okay, I am a little disappointed because I thought the song was "You were never there, Diego Garcia" and I thought wow, Diego, tough to have a song written about how you are such a slacker...too bad - I think that would have been a great song (the original is nice, too, though)! But maybe there is a good short story in that title. Hmm. There's a thought...

Oh, how I love Larkrise to Candleford...

[Christie]

Now on my list today is adding Larkrise to Candleford to my Netflix que...

Also on my list? Copying your menu for the week.

And I just have to say that it's criminal to be in school until the end of June. I would die. We are so spoiled with our schedule. Start in mid-August, out in late May. Love it. Hang in there.

I'm catching up on your blog today and I love this post. Thanks for the link. :)
Dinner was fun; can't wait to get together again!

I watch Larkrise while folding laundry too. I'm on Season 3 and I have a crush on Mark Heap. Lauren, graduating? Oh my!
