there are so many things i SHOULD have done today...

February 17, 2017 Arlene Giddings

i totally was going to
clean out the area
where we keep our recyclables
and
put away the mountains
of laundry
teetering on the edge
of mayhem
and mess...
i was going to do yoga
and get my 11000 steps in,
sweep
and pick up the vacuum
that i left in my brothers van
over 2 weeks ago
or more...

but instead
i got wrapped up in videos
on how to do html and css
(and can i just say
i got SO excited when
i made a webpage open
and ask "what is your name"
that i might have squealed
and taken a photo of it
and sent it to S)(i'm sure he was not
nearly as excited...heeheehee)

i broke out the watercolors
and ate a chicken nugget kids meal
just so i could get the
lego batman toy
drank copious amounts of diet coke
listened to the lumineers
and rose cousins
and stared out the window
at the snow
for long periods of time.

i stayed in my pajamas
and wore 2 different colored socks.
my hair is a nightmare
but i did moisturize.

i didn't make my bed though.

and that, in a nutshell, has been
friday...now it's chicken wings & nachos
with that guy i love best,
guitar playing (not me) and diet coke (me)...

a perfect start to the weekend.

bullet journals and birthdays...oh my...

February 16, 2017 Arlene Giddings

march does not bring my birthday
but it does bring the birthday
of someone who has always been
very important to me...
DR SEUSS!

So with that in mind
aaaaand the help of the countless snowstorms
that have kept us trapped
in the warm cocoon of our houses this week,
i spent some time working
on my march bullet journal layouts...
 

i was pretty happy with how these have turned out!
i was going to go with all 4 leaf clovers and
shades of green for spring...but this
makes me just as happy.

now i just have to keep reminding myself
that we are already at the middle of february,
past the halfway point,
only 31 days, 6 hours and 8 minutes til spring.
just hold tight.
it's coming!

although i am not sure pugsley believes me... :)

happy big red heart day...(& a cautionary tale)

February 14, 2017 Arlene Giddings

if you make
chicken fricot
on a storm day
and then don't wait
for it to cool down
to an appropriate level
of heat
before consuming it
you will
burn your tongue....
and if you do
burn your tongue
on deliciously so-hot-but-you-couldn't-wait
chicken fricot
AVOID
CINNAMON HEARTS
AT ALL COSTS
even if it IS valentines day.

i think i have lost 3 layers of taste buds
between yesterday
and today.

i really wanted a hot chocolate...

February 12, 2017 Arlene Giddings

but didn't want to go outside...
or far outside at least...

i don't do well with cold...
i'm fragile that way.  :)
although my husband would call it
being a bit of a pansy...
well...
whatever.

pansies are kind of pretty...
are they purple?
cause i like purple.

but anyway.
i wanted hot chocolate
and to take some photos outside
because it was sunny
and looked deceivingly warm...
so with the help of my 17 year old
who ALWAYS jumps at a chance to
drive the car
i did both.

he went and got me hot chocolate and a doughnut
while i spent about all the time i could handle
in the cold
(roughly 15 minutes...heeheehee)
and then
i took photos of the
doughnut.

what can i say?
did you really expect anything different from me?
it's such a pretty doughnut!

friday i'm in love...the snowstorm edition

February 10, 2017 Arlene Giddings

♥ the anticipation of a snow day...a tank full of oil, kitchen full of groceries...safe and warm with nowhere to go.
♥ video chatting with our girl...since we couldn't go over this weekend

♥ tootsie roll suckers
♥ our new compost bin...this is going to sound so weird
but i seriously love this little bin!  it just makes me happy.
♥ with watching "studio" tours on youtube...and drooling over spaces
♥ this FANTASTIC kermit phone that my sweet cousin dropped off for me...
along with smurfs to add to my collection!

♥ and my new favorite treat (don't ask me why
this is new to me...i KNOW they are far from new, heeheehee)
hot fudge sundaes from mcdonalds

In 2017, friday i'm in love, it's a smurfy world, she's so weird, my girl Tags all the good things, fridays are the best days, snow day!, pei, kermit, smurfs
