Happiness = Raditude

I love the morning after a night of rain. The earth and air are clean and crisp. The plants look fresh and alive. And the smog has been erased from the horizon.

I had to drive up to North County for some supplies, which is normally a daunting task and a huge interruption to my day. But this morning I looked forward to spending a few hours in the car, listening to the latest Weezer album as loud as I wanted. A poppy delight!

The Weepies

After 3 weeks of unseasonably warm weather for January, it has cooled off today and the rains have come. Of course, cool in San Diego means it is in the low 60's today. Nevertheless, I am in the kitchen making chili in the crock pot and listening to folk music.

Last month I was turned on to a band called The Weepies after reading a blog from the Kitchn. Blogger Sara Kate made a playlist of songs she likes to hear while she cooks. It is a great list and I downloaded most of the songs from itunes.

The Weepies. Super cool. Super chill.
