Zhoodie
[ z hoo d-ee ]
Noun
1. Having the best of both worlds.
2. A zippered hoodie having two pockets and a uni-pocket.
Everyone is familiar with a hoodie. It's a (pullover)sweatshirt with with a hood and a front pocket. Well apparently, if it also has a full zipper(and a separated front pocket) it is called a zoodie. Weird, right? Makes sense I suppose, but I certainly never heard anyone use that terminology. It is just another reason for Urban dictionary to exist.
I took an informal poll(okay, I asked 3 people) which they prefer and why: a hooded sweatshirt with a single front pocket or one with a zipper and two separate pockets.
There was the answer of: "I prefer a hoodie because I like having a single front pocket."
There was also the answer: "I like a single pocket but place more value on having a zipper for ease of put-on/take-off, or, if I get warm I can unzip halfway."
What if, I mean, what if the possibility existed for both worlds to collide and exist in unison? I am always tempted to find solutions to First-world problems, and this seemed to be one of them. Could it be done?
Yes. It can be done. I'll show you how...
Supplies:
fleece - one yard each of 3 different colors, 2 yards of predominant(4th) color(navy in my case).
coil separating zipper of 24", and lightweight separating zipper(both in the predominant color)
cord for hood, about 36 inches, two grommets, with tool, and hammer.
sewing machine that accepts size 18 needles(for sewing fleece, nothing smaller works)
appropriate thread, scissors, and hand needle. And chalk. Oh... and about 6-10 hours of time.

There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!

Happy garden with all the heat, humidity, and occasional rain.
I made a yummy zucchini chocolate bread for my sister's visit. Going to air fry some of what I just picked.
