friday i'm in love....

it's a cold gray friday...
i have the day off but
don't really feel like "adventuring".

instead
i think i am going to hunker down
with blogs and books,
paintbrushes and markers,
paper and pen
for most of the day
and meet a friend for coffee & treats
at samuel's this afternoon.

i heard a rumor that the sun might come out tomorrow.
so...maybe a saturday adventure instead?
are lilacs even out yet?  I was sure I saw some in Charlottetown
but I haven't seen any here yet!

there's no rule that it HAS to be a friday adventure.
(and, even if there was...I make the rules soooooooo...)
heh.

here are some things that have caught my eye this week though :)

♥  look at these doughnuts! 

♥  someday i will have a greenhouse...

♥  i want to write like this....

♥  i like this idea.....

♥  i didn't watch mr rogers...he must have been on cable...and i was
totally a mr dressup and sesame street kinda girl but i really do want to
watch this....

♥  and ok.  i know i have already bugged you about this on my blog & facebook
and if you are lucky/unlucky enough to know me in real life,
i have likely bugged you about it there, too.
BUT THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD.
will someone else PLEASE watch it so that i have someone
to say "i KNOOOOOOOW!" when i say "that show is SO GOOD!"
AND i love the soundtrack.

"you should never tell a psychopath they are a pyschopath.
it upsets them."

sometimes...

you just feel like
chocolate-y chai tea
and
big warm sweater....

a book and
and fuzzy soft blanket...

i think i am still in hibernate mode.

whatcha readin'? {2018::book 14 - goal 24}

I have had this book
on my list for a long time
and have finally read it.

I am not going to lie.
It was not a quick read.
It was not an easy read.
It was sad and scary and infuriating
and, at times, incomprehensible
that such things are really going on
in this world
in this day...

But it was also inspiring
and interesting and poignant.

It was interesting to see the parallels
drawn between fiction and life,
life as fiction....wishing fiction to be life...
as helpless as I felt reading it,
I also felt amazed by the author's tenacity
and bravery.

It wasn't quick
and it wasn't easy
but
it should be read.

NEXT UP:  THE ALCHEMIST - PAULO COELHO

yeah....there's a reason i was the weird kid in school...

because I do things like this.

I was talking to a friend at work
about movies
and he had just seen the new Avengers movie
and I mentioned that
I would like to watch all the superhero movies
and he told me
that there are lists online
that will give you the order to watch them in
by timeline
rather than by movie release date
and I got all excited and thought
NEW PROJECT!
and then thought
ohhhhhh I CAN TRACK IT!
and came home and googled a list
(although I now realize there is more than one list out there
so I feel a little ill thinking what if this is wrong but
anyway...)
and yeah...
this is why i was the weird kid in school.

well...this kind of thing
and the fact that I cried every day
until about grade 8
oh...
and there was the time I built a
spaceship out of a cardboard box
in my bedroom
when I was like....12....

but anyway...

oh...and if you haven't watched this show,
you totally should. 
it's so good!
(i love yang.  she will always be yang to me).

tuesday truths...

******
after using the same format
in my bullet journal for about the
past two years,
i have decided to make a change.
i need it to be
less formal
and more spur-of-the-moment.
it's a work in progress.
i'm still not really sure what i want to do with it
but the photo above is my
May cover page...
which i was pretty happy with....
because...

i love lilac season!
and it's almost here!!
the little lilac bush i planted
in the backyard last summer
has some bright green little buds on it
so yay!
i didn't kill it!
(yet)

i love the little signs of spring...
lighter jackets,
open windows (even if only for a short period of time),
sunshine waking me up
in the morning
and the day staying brighter
for so much longer...
i feel like i can breathe again.
