it was the first
true friday adventure
i have had
in a while…
there were doughnuts,
dirt roads, diet coke in a can,
singing loud,
snoopy socks, a good book
and a bit of exploration/random driving…
friday i'm in love...
and it’s friday again.
this week flew by.
i spent a lot of time in the office
instead of working from home
which has it’s own set of pros and cons.
mostly it was a very busy week.
but i got to go for
a beautiful evening beach walk
with a friend
and saw the sunset…
and spent an evening at the
community school banquet
and that was so fun.
if you have not tried community school,
you totally should.
it was a great way to get out of the house
one night a week in the dreaded depths of winter
which is when i really struggle to
connect with people…
i learned a little macrame, had a lot of laughs
and got to enjoy a rousing sing a long
of “wasn’t that a party” at the banquet…
(along with delicious lemon pie)
and won a cat hammock bed! :)
{sidenote:: it’s amazing that your
brain will remember every single word
and inflection of a song you haven’t heard
in decades}
FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE::
♥ oh my heart….i love all of these.
♥ i have read this over and over.
♥ this was mesmerizing…his hair.
♥ my latest IPSY haul
♥ my perpetual candy jar
♥ some time spent at the little blue desk experimenting
happy spring even though we
came into it with a bit of a storm
and a fresh a layer of snow all over…
but the days are brighter and longer
and maybe a touch warmer.
that’s enough for me. ♥
friday i'm in love...sorry, not a St Patrick's edition...cause I'm lame.
I know this should somehow
be a St Patrick’s day edition
but instead, I
HAVE
to tell you about the
frigging amazing
homemade flakies I got from
sweet’ems bake shop!!!!!!!
These were literally too die for
and I looked forward to picking up
this order all week…
my week was sleepy and stressy,
time change killed me,
work is insanely busy
and I just can’t keep up
in anything that I am doing…
house, work, exercise, consignments…
but these little sweet delights
made
up
for
everything.
♥
Look at allllllll that lemony goodness
dripping out …and that flaky flaky-ness.
Sooooo good.
OTHER THINGS I AM LOVING ON A FRIDAY
♥ murmurations. always, always, always with the murmurations
♥ that Sunny’s Dairy Bar commented on my
little salty chip watercolor on FB, heehee.
(and to say that they loved the doodle,
not to threaten to sue me for copyright, heh)
♥ accidental hearts….
and in the spirit of St Patrick’s,
I can only offer this:
friday i'm in love....a snow-stormy edition
it’s messy mix of winter here today…
and i am embracing it
completely…
warm, cozy pjs,
hot chocolate,
maybe a hot bath,
storm chips on standby,
a half finished book
ready to be read
while tucked in with a
knit blanket, a pug and 3 cats….
i’ve got nowhere to be
and nothing to do
except watch the snow fall
and accept february for being
february…
FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE:
♥ feb 15 was national gumdrop day….and
i was more excited about that than i was for valentine’s day…
i frigging love gumdrops.
♥ that dude’s older than cheerios ♥♥♥
♥ winter self care tips…these made me happy
♥ i am not going lie I WILL HAVE THESE.
♥ some wintery photos i took last weekend
while just out singing in the car…seeing what i could see
Wherever you are,
I hope you are safe & happy & warm…
full of gumdrops and grace…
and remember,
we are past the halfway mark for February…
the days are getting longer, spring is coming closer…
we’re getting there.
♥♥♥
friday i'm in love...the late edition....
I am actually writing this
on Saturday
but it was still stuff I loved on Friday
so…..
semantics. Heh.
The sun is shining
and the house is warm and clean.
The dryer won’t be here until Feb 8th
so I have been using dryer rack
and it’s been working ok…
just hard to get used to.
And right now I am burning
a candle called “fresh cut grass”
while I have a Christmas scent in the burner
so the house seems slightly conflicted & confused
but smells good. Heh.
FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE:
♥ I love how the late-day light comes in this window…
I spent some time here yesterday doodling and planning
and feeling pretty happy.
♥ I wanna build a greenhouse. This just reinforces
the fact that I need to BUY TOOLS.
♥ This. Oh my breaking heart. This.
♥ 12000 pressed leaves. Magical.
♥ In 2020, I read a book called
"Buy Yourself the Effing Lilies” and
loved it so hard. Tara Schuster has a new book
coming out and I happened to get in the opportunity
she shared to be a glow-getter for the new book coming
"Glow in the Effing Dark” (Release date: Feb 28)
This not only got me an advance copy but also
a part of a network of other people who are incredibly
excited and fan-girling about this book and the author…heehee.
I was pretty frigging excited to be a part of this and can’t wait to read it!!
♥ my January IPSY bag. These always make me happy.
I hope this weekend finds you as
happy and relaxed as this guy is
when he is being cuddled….
just don’t drool like he does
if you can help it.
:)
