I could have posted
photos
of snow…
snow behind my car,
under my car,
piled on the deck,
snow banks so high
I can’t throw
hard enough with the shovel
to get rid of it.
Snow getting into
my ears
and freezing in my hair
and melting
into my eyes.
The sound of snowblowers
and shovels…
I could have posted
photos of snow…
but I thought
I would share
some summer flowers
instead.

another weekend
another snowstorm.
i sit in a quiet, still house
and watch the flakes fall,
silently and quickly,
like there is a mission
to be met…
i feel an impending headache…
heavy and weighing me down.
i feel like there are things
i should be doing
but the day
has slipped away
and i have done
nothing
but watch the snowflakes fall.
and i’m
kinda ok
with that.
I know I shared this many, many times in the past but really…does it matter? ♥
I watched this the other night. Wow.
sweater dresses
egg rolls in the deep fryer
pug snuggles

i have been writing this blog for a long time.
i like to go back and reread
different years for the month
we are currently in…
it’s a bittersweet exercise.
the kids were little when i
started this
and i thought my
happy marriage would last
forever and i never
thought i would get wrinkles
or a saggy neck…haha.
but life happens.
some of the posts make me
a little sad but mostly,
they make me happy…..
(and make me question my
sanity every now and then as well).
like when I made librarian shout YES
in a library…
this image without an image of my
boy at 10 made my heart warm…
and it’s my mom’s birthday on Saturday,
so this seems right…and I miss him. ♥

I am pretty excited about this!
Last year was the year of ice cream
and dairy bars and all that sweet stuff
and I kept saying that this year’s
challenge would need to be
a little more focused on exercise
or activity to counteract…
and today I came across this:
32 sections
700 kms!!
You get a passport & a
certificate of completion!!!
(and you know how I feel
about certificates of completion!!!)
I am seriously excited about this.
AND I have the bike now so I can incorporate that
into some of it…and maybe I might
even have some friends that I
convince to join me for
parts of it…
I love when something makes me
feel all butterfly-ish in my belly
and excited! :) :) :)
Now I am going to buy the book
and makes lists of what I will need
and maybe where I can stay
for parts of the journey
and what I will need to bring with me
and yay! :) This is fun already!
And if you have done anything like this before
or have any tips or advice,
please feel free to pass along!! ♥
(not going to lie…
the only thing I am really worried about
is coyotes….sigh.)

Winter is hard.
Extended pandemics
and restrictions and
bad news all the time
is hard.
Working from hard can be hard,
being single can be hard
(I can’t lie…neither of those
two things are always hard,
mostly they are enjoyable
but I need them for my justification
of spending money
on things
I definitely don’t need…) heh.
Sometimes
you just need a treat,
a surprise,
something to look forward to.
So I tried the Ipsy glam bag subscription
for a little treat for me…
it came this week
and seriously,
it was so fun.
So fun, I might do it again!!
the cutest little
hapy face bag!!
You fill out a survey of what things
you are interested in,
what your usual skin care routine is,
eye color, etc
and they send these little sample sizes…
and the cutest eye shadow package
(even if I don’t wear eye shadow much
I certainly appreciate cute packaging).
I haven’t tried everything
yet but I did try these…
the ginzing gel moisturizer (I don’t buy a lot of make up but I am slightly addicted to moisturizers) and the lemon lip sleeping mask was delicious…
The cost for this was 20.98…I think that was a pretty small price to pay for what I got…and…it was fun. Which is kinda priceless.
So now I am thinking that Emma & I might
split on the largest bag, which comes with
full size options…and see how that goes for a month.
And then maybe
in a different month,
I’ll shut this one off
and try something else…
like an art supply subscription!
or maybe toys of some kind…
OR CANDY.
Hope you are having a sunny & sweet Saturday! ♥
