Friday Fill-Ins

1. Ahhhh, it's so nice to have sunshine and mild temperatures in early March!
2. One of my favorite things on my desk is an old wooden cream-cheese box that I keep pencils and Post-Its in:

3. Japanese Cherry Blossom must be the name of yet another flower I can't identify—or are they the same as the Cherry Blossoms we have here in the U.S., like in D.C.?
4. The couch is my favorite place to sit and read.
5. Snapea Crisps and tzatziki is delicious! (Yes, is, because it's the combination that's delicious. You wouldn't say "Peanut butter and jelly are delicious," would you? 'Course not.)
6. I love to watch Johnny Depp in movies.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing (since I worked last night), tomorrow my plans include going out with Andy in the evening for the first time in ages—albeit to a school fundraiser, and Sunday, I want to try baking yet another variety of bread.

I thought the cherry blossom trees on Washington were originally a gift from Japan...but I could be way wrong.

You're right; I just checked Wikipedia:

Japan gave 3,000 sakura trees as a gift to the United States in 1912 to celebrate the nations' then-growing friendship. These trees have since lined the shore of the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. (see West Potomac Park), and the gift was renewed with another 3,800 trees in 1965. The sakura trees continue to be a popular tourist attraction (and the subject of the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival) when they reach full bloom in early spring.

Even 'Secret Window'? Ooh, look out every one, a writer is on the loose!

Well, he's been in a lot of lousy movies, but I still always enjoy watching him. I think he's a very talented actor and is clearly not afraid of taking risks. And AWFULLY CUTE to boot.
