things I'm into this weekend

I fixed the kitchen radio. It was very static-y and I realized that the cord was twisted up. Untwisting it was a stroke of genius.

Schmutzie's Five Star Friday. Lots of good stuff there.

Look, I know this weekend is all about football/soccer but how could I not love this:



The New Zealand All Blacks rugby team doing their ceremonial Haka before a game.

I'm into berries this weekend. Everything is in season and delish. Strawberries are my favorite and a co-worker brought in a bucket of berries she had picked herself - totally different than the ones in the market, they were wonderful.

I am re-appreciating my Camper Wabi clog-like shoes. Made from the softest hemp-like cord braided and sewn by a women's collective in India, I wore them with great frequency a couple of years ago and pushed them to the back of my closet. I dug them out this spring and have been loving them again.

Finally, I've made great strides with the crossword puzzle of late. Small victories, I know, but I'm awfully proud of myself. I can finish the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday puzzles. I made a serious dent in Friday's and completely finished last Sunday's (on Wednesday, so it took four days, but still).
