tuesday truths...
♥♥♥
sometimes you are just so happy...
those are very, very good days.
♥♥♥
i know i want winter
to be over
but if it's going to storm
can we at least make it a good one?
one that shuts the town down
and rages all day
so there is no wondering
if you have to be somewhere...
because there is no where to be.
♥♥♥
i love pajamas.
and fuzzy socks.
♥♥♥
no name storm chips
are just as good
as brand name storm chips.
whatcha readin'? {2018::book 8 - goal 24)
This is the second book of John Green's that I have read.
I read Fault in Our Stars a while ago...
well...so long ago that I don't really remember
if I liked it a lot or a little.
But I really liked this one.
I am not sure if I was drawn to it
because he describes debilitating anxiety
which hits close to home
as it is something my daughter had fought with
for years.
I think that anxiety of that proportion and intensity
must be hard for the person experiencing it to
describe in adequate detail...
I have always felt that way with my girl,
she tries to explain it
and we try to understand
but it becomes frustrating for her
because it's impossible to really
know what it's like
unless you are feeling it, I think.
And it feels like he does a good job of
describing what parts of it must be like...
and as someone that loves someone with anxiety,
it helps to be able to get maybe a little
glimpse into what it must feel like
from their side of the equation.
All in all, I liked this book.
I enjoy his writing and the characters.
I would definitely read other things he has written.

tuesday truths...
photo taken by 18 :)
♥♥♥
my boy is back from the big city
and i couldn't be happier...
or prouder.
there is a lot more i could say here
but i don't want to embarrass him...
:)
♥♥♥
literally
every time
i do a "tuesday truths"
i have to stop and think
wait...today IS tuesday, right?
every
frigging
tuesday.
that never happens to me on a friday.
♥♥♥
i bought some of these tonight...
i'm excited to try it.
the other flavors didn't really appeal to me...
blood orange?
what the hell is a blood orange?
like...is that a real thing?
um...not in my fridge.
which reminds me
i really need to clean out my fridge
and get groceries...
right now, i'm pretty sure all i've got in there
is hamburger far past the expiration date
(well...who can tell...it was frozen at some point
and then i defrosted it but i can't remember when
but i suspect it should not be eaten now
even if i do have an iron stomach as some would suggest)
and a head of cabbage
(and if you follow me on facebook,
which you should because i'm pretty amusing...
or annoying...i'm not sure which adjective is normally used..
anyway, if you follow me on fb,
you would have already read about the-great-cabbage-cauliflower-confusion).
wow.
did i just spin that far off topic.
that's gotta be a record.
♥♥♥
have you watched
everything sucks
if you haven't, you really, really should.
when have i steered you wrong?
i have great taste.
plus it has an awesome soundtrack.
just make sure you watch at least where
they make the oasis video...
that. part. literally. killed. me.
(plus i have a bit of a soft spot for that song
since it was the first song that my girl
learned all the words to...when she was like 2...
sigh....did someone make that damn time machine yet)
wow. i'm really off track tonight.
:)
it must be tuesday.
(right? it IS tuesday...right?)
edited to add...i realize i may not actually
know what an adjective is anymore so
if i have gotten that wrong, please forgive me...
it is tuesday, after all.
(right? it is..nevermind)
whatcha readin'? {2018::book 7 - goal 24)
I really, really wanted to read this book.
First of all, the cover makes me happy.
Second of all, contrary to what most people think of me
deep down
I really do secretly aspire to be a badass.
Haha. Which is even funnier if you know me.
And funnier still if you knew that I cringed
just writing badass.
Cause. It's a bad word.
(and yet I can start every sentence with the eff word).
So anyway.
Back to the book
(and again, if you were expecting an actual book review
please see this post)...
I enjoyed the book,
maybe not as much as I hoped I would
but it was pretty good.
There was nothing really "new" in it as far
pulling yourself together and setting goals
and all...but I liked her writing.
I may go back through again and see if
there are key action type things I can try.
But I will tell you that the last line of chapter 26
stopped me in my tracks...to the point that I wrote it down.
"9. LOVE YOURSELF
with a kung fu grip"
I just kinda love that.
And maybe...I just really needed that right now.
:)
