ILUVWEEDS's Profile

Hi my name is Jo. I am a proud member of the 4-Oh club this year! I live about 20 miles south of Boston MA. I live in the City of Champions (home of Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler) Thomas Edison lit our streets when he lived here and the ground has been electric ever since! I am a HUGE Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics and NE Patriots FAN! I am happily married to my high school sweetheart (OK we went to different high schools) of 21 years. I have two kids a son who is 21 in college and currently working as a pharmacy technician and a daughter who is 17 years old and in her junior year of Tech high school, she also works at the pharmacy-both can be found myspacing or facebooking in their spare time....WE ALL LOVE TO GARDEN as we live in the city in a small (cozy) house on the hill--outdoors is our family room. Winter time is spent outdoors next to the fire pit. We all like to have friends over and entertain outdoors--we have arranged the gardens to be "rooms" - this allows all of  us to entertain a number of guests at the same time and the kids arent bothered by my heavy metal music!!!  We have a Black Lab, 4 cats & 2 fish. My occupation is a Business Administration and Finance Manager for a Vehicle Service Contract Administrator. I lend my creative talents to the company by developing new programs and creating new technology to implement new business--it is very challenging and very rewarding. Nights and weekends are spent diffusing and planting! Weekend nights--thats a different story however--those are spent entertaining with the tables set, walkways swept and candles lit--basically showing off the fruits of my efforts. I cant wait to upload pictures to this site. This year has been especially challenging and I am so looking forward to getting outdoors and watching the miracles of nature unfold in front of me--reminding me that through it all nature will prevail and I will get to smell the roses!!!

Nice to meet ya! 

 

Carpe Diem.....
I knew today was going to be a washout, complete with cold and rain and lets throw in some more rain! No I didnt have to "Trust" the weather folks this time, lets say that I could just feel the change coming. We have had several days of hot (some ext...

Perspective.....
I know that we are all feeling the effects of some extreme weather. Whether it be high temps or high winds we are finding it difficult or dangerous to go about our daily lives in normal fashion. I was reminded to put things into perspective when I re...

While I slept!?!
I was up pretty late watching the Celtics beat the Lakers.....(WoooHooooooo). For all I knew that was the extent of excitment in my neck of the woods.... Little did I know that Mother Nature was holding an initiation ceremony right in my backyard!...

More Firsts
My oh my it is sooo hot outside - 97 the last time I checked! Its too hot to be out there working on the yard so I decided to work on my photo album..... I get so excited when a plant blooms for the first time and I am so happy I have somewhere to...

"Missing" Work!
Ha! I did have the day off yesterday and YES I did miss my peeps--but I did NOT "Miss" work!!!! In fact I spent the day capping off my looooong weekend (which was spent wrapping up many big projects) I was sore, cut and scraped not to mention sunburn...
