friday i'm in love...even if it's kinda rainy...

June 12, 2020 Arlene Giddings

I haven’t done a friday i’m in love for a bit…
just a few things that I am loving right now
and grateful for.

♥ i have been obsessed with this show “Bonus Family”
It’s Swedish…and ALLLLLLL subtitles
which I actually don’t mind because it means I can’t
scroll mindlessly on my phone while watching it…
but I seriously adore it.

♥ when a friend messages to tell you to look outside your door
and when you do, you find the cutest little tomato and pepper plants!
and then the same friend offers to show you how to make salsa
AND can it or bottle it or whatever it’s called in the fall
and you giggle to yourself because this friend
obviously
has no idea what she is getting herself into….hahahaha.
let’s not forget the fact that i once deep fried french fries…
in water….just to give some perspective. Haha.

♥ this. I am not sure what it is about the cello but
i kinda love it…

♥ jumbo mr freezies

♥ sugar cones with ice cream

♥ how green and vibrant the world looks after it rains

♥ listening to the radio loud while working from home

♥ that my favorite ice cream truck is opening up again!

Happy weekend! Hopefully the rain holds off
and if it doesn’t,
hopefully you find a nice dry place
to curl up and watch a movie or read a book or listen to music
that takes you to somewhere nice.

Also…taking recommendations on
any 3 of those things! Heehee.

my new friends.  heehee.

my new friends. heehee.

friday i'm in love...

April 10, 2020 Arlene Giddings

♥ April is national poetry month…

♥ i watched this last night…rented it for 2.99 on Google Play…
and it was the perfect way to decompress…and de-stress…

♥ when i grow up, i want to be agent carter

♥ speaking of people you wanna be when you grow up…wow…

♥ this girl and her little snippets

♥ i had no idea dave matthews was so amusing and…slightly bizarre…in a good way.

and…i bake banana bread today…
and it LOOKS like banana bread!
I can’t eat it yet because apparently
it still too hot
and there is a chance
it may be yucky since I over did some ingredients
and under did others…
plus…I have to turn on the oven
with pliers
so it’s kinda hard to tell if
i got the right temperature or not…

Heh.

Adventures in the big orange house.
:)

happy long weekend (whatever that means…haha)

friday i'm in love...day whateverteen...

April 3, 2020 Arlene Giddings

i don’t feel like doing anything
right now
except losing myself in the rabbit hole
world of internet
researching new rubber boots,
making garden plans,
looking at pretty dresses,
and googling why my nose is twitching
on one side…
(i am hoping it’s actually the beginning
of a super power that i am secretly developing
and not the symptom of some new virus)…

♥ I need to learn how to do embroidery.

♥ I have seriously fallen in love with peter pan collars.

♥ I know I have said this before but I love this blog.

♥ such a sweet story…

Happy friday…do something fun! :)

friday i'm in love...on saturday...

March 21, 2020 Arlene Giddings

forgive me…
the days have become a bit of a blur…
:)

I started the week with
a schedule and a plan
but today
I feel a little detached,
a little lost on what I should do next…
I know I have lots I can do
but there seems to be nothing
I want to do.

So I thought I would distract myself
with the rabbit hole of the internet
for a little bit
and see if I can find some
inspiration.

Wanna come along?
I promise to keep 6 feet away
(I know what 6 feet is now after my
Christmas light debacle…heehee)

♥ gotta wash your hands anyway…look at this SHEEP SOAP!!

♥ got some spare time and looking for something to learn…

♥ a new meaning for book nook

♥ he can make an action figure out of a rubber duckie!!?

♥ drawing is a coping skill

♥ i so love this…

and stay tuned tomorrow…I have a new framed print to share!
:)

friday i'm in love....or how I am distracting myself...

March 13, 2020 Arlene Giddings

♥ this song…in every version I can find.

♥ jujubes & diet coke

♥ this podcast. And the whole idea that failure
is something we should strive for…not to fail,
but to put ourselves out there…to push out of that comfort zone…
sure, you might fail…
but…you might just succeed.
This hit home for me…I think I have already been moving
with that mindset
but this kind of reinforced it.

♥ chase & sierra covers

♥ working on some new ideas…expanding past cards…
this is my first framed print…and I am kind of excited about it…
if it doesn’t sell, I’ll keep it for me. :)
