this made me think…and then made me cry…just a little tiny bit…
this is true. and. this is me.
i need this
and this…
i am obsessed with this song…
ohhhhhh. this.
i listen to this probably once a day…if this guy EVER comes
close to the maritimes…I will be there.
i want a plant. I will name it fred. and try not to kill it.
did i show you my new lunchbox?? Even if I did…LOOK AT IT AGAIN…
it’s sooooooooo freaking adorable!!
everywhere i look
it’s hearts and flowers
and sweet sentiments & valentine wishes…
but for some reason
tonight
my head is full of buccaneers
and bony skeletons,
torn treasure maps,
and bonny anne the girl pirate
sailing on a turbulent sea,
scaring the boys
and whistling for whales
who will float along beside her
and take her on the
next great adventure…
where she will lead mutinies
and rebellions and
make friends with the
jellyfish
and share secrets and bread crumbs
with the seagulls…
yeah…my brain gets away from me sometimes.
♥ it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
♥ i want to feel like this again…
♥ this…
arrrrghhhh….happy heart day, matey…♥♥♥ now walk the plank.
there is something about
being home
that just makes me
incredibly happy.
my house is not fancy…hell…
it’s not even finished.
half a string of christmas lights
still hang over the door
and bang against the window
but i like the little flash of bright colors
against the white of the snow outside.
i have water damage on the ceiling
and a makeshift ramp
to get to the leaking
front door…the same front door
you have to slam
to make sure it’s shut.
there’s a pumpkin head
with a top hat that was carved out of
one of our trees years ago
and i can’t bear to move it…
the kitchen faucet sprays like a geyser
and the countertop is broken…
one plug doesn’t work
and i am missing light fixtures
and baseboard
and have a couple holes in the wall…
oh. and i am pretty sure something might be
living
in the attic but i try not to think about that.
yet there is no place else i want to be.
every hole, every crack, every broken bit
holds a memory...a funny story…
a secret no one else knows.
i am home
and the freezing rain is pelting
against the windows,
the cat is sleeping on my computer chair,
the heater ticks and whirs behind me
while i listen to ben howard
and click away at the keyboard
thinking about how
happy i am
to be home.
♥ my newly decluttered little blue desk space
♥ ben howard
♥ lemon, garlic and olive oil…on everything
♥ such a great idea!
♥ getting back to the bullet journal
♥ sunflower seeds
♥ this made me cry…just a little tiny bit
♥ this made me cry just a little bit more
happy freezing rain friday….stay warm. :)
I was going to come here and do my usual
friday i’m in love post
but somehow
i got sucked down an alice in wonderland rabbit hole of
searching for
(and getting incredibly excited about)
the following things:
building a doll house
how to deconstruct & re-construct a blythe doll
i want ALL the calico critters
also little people
and bella grace magazines
plus a new hot chocolate recipe
and cute skates
so i can build a light box
and a doll house (which brings me full circle).
Do you ever have those moments though?
Where you are kind of bobbing along, doing your every day thing
and slightly inspired by the world around you
but then, all of a sudden, it’s like you wake up
and EVERYTHING is inspiring…
shades of light,
music,
the color of the sky,
random you tube playlists,
the book you are reading,
ads for kids clothes,
snippets of conversation in the mall…
literally everything suddenly makes you want to
grab a paper, pen, saw, scissors, keyboard, chainsaw…
you feel excited
about
everything.
That’s how I feel…right now.
I like this feeling.
I want to keep it.
:)
(also, this little guy
had a friday adventure of his own…and
went to the vet today…but he is ok! Yay!)
♥i just realized i could probably do a whole album of
middle of the road
photos. I might just do that. :)
♥the northern pikes are playing in moncton.
i just literally belted out teenland just now
and realized i’m just a girl with a problem
(haha…not really, that’s just next in the playlist)
♥i love the internet
i know there is no secret in that.
but i absolutely love the small connections that can be made.
i was talking to someone today that i have not met yet in person,
just in the virtual world….
happy meals became a topic of conversation, as they often do
when conversing with me…and he said “i still have the happy meal
muppet baby toys” I was like, “me too!” and excitedly snapped
a photo of baby gonzo (missing his trike) to show him…
meanwhile…he sends me a photo of ALL FOUR muppet babies
STILL IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING….
and didn’t even have to look for them…
had them right there at his fingertips!!
(so then i had to try to one up him with my 119 smurf collection
but, honestly?
i was totally jealous of his muppet babies.)
♥this artist….i am in love with these.
♥this hits home right now…know someone struggling with anxiety?
it’s hard to watch…you feel pretty helpless. This was a good read.
♥i kinda can’t wait for this…and now i want to re-read the book
♥i seriously want to do this…preferably with someone who has
maybe done it before or at least knows what a coywolf is…
but…wild horses, you guys!
♥and i can’t tell you how much i love how many comments,
emails and messages I got about my 50 before 50 post….
that totally made my day. Every time I release something to the universe
via this website or social media, I cringe a little inside thinking
”well. you’ve done it now. people are going to officially think you are weird.”
and then everyone is so sweet which really only encourages me more,
you know that, right? Heehee. But seriously…thank you for that.
:) :) :) :)
