- I have been eating an abundance of cucumber sandwiches
- Stir fried string beans are my new favorite.
- I sold 3 watercolor cards...and am SO EXCITED...it always
kind of blows my mind to think someone wants to pay MONEY
for something I made...I will never get used to that. - I am loving this radio station.
- I totally and unabashedly sang Rock Me Amadeus in the car today.
I seriously forgot how frigging awesome that song is. - I need to make a new playlist...any suggestions?
2 truths on a tuesday...
truth #1
this...well....this is the best sundae i had all summer.
this one wins.
and truth #2...
these cows kind of freaked me out.
at first, i was like
oh look!
cows!
and i pulled over on side of the dirt road
to take some photos of them
and then, they noticed me...
they started
looking
at me...
and then
they started walking towards me...
slowly
but steadily...
and all of them started doing
it once like
some kind of horde of zombie cows...
and i'm not gonna lie...
the truth is they
kinda freaked me out a bit.
:)
tuesday truths at 10:30 pm....
i should have done the dishes.
i should have changed the kitty litter.
i should have put some laundry in the machine.
i should have swept the tumbleweeds of cat fur
out of the corners of the living room.
but the sun was shining.
and the car was home.
and the gas tank was full.
so instead
i went looking for pretty light
and abandoned boats
and dirt roads...
and now my heart feels
satisfied and content
(but also can't wait to go again!)
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.
tuesday truths
♥♥♥
this morning
the world looked like
something you see
in a picture book
about a magical land of winter and
glittery shiny ice...
veiled in a thick fog
with the sun trying to burst through.
i grabbed my phone (no camera with me, boo)
and went for a quick and somewhat cold walk
mesmerized by the bright white of the trees
and the frost covered weeds...
it was perfect.
the air smelled like woodsmoke
and faint exhaust fumes
(which, if you know me, you will know i
love the smell of exhaust fumes
almost as much as the smell of woodsmoke).
it was perfect.
i climbed a snowbank
in my work skirt and purple docs
so that i could take the photo of the
two perfect rows of trees above...
it was worth the possible humiliation
of falling off the bank into the middle of Duke street
on a busy Tuesday morning.
on the walk back, my hands tingled
and i got little chunks of road salt
stuck in my docs
and my eyes watered from the cold
and still...
it was perfect.
♥♥♥
i popped into the liquor store
to pick up some cold shots
for my husband today.
somehow
i got my thumb
stuck in the box.
"well...that's a first"
the cashier said as
she helped me wrench the box
off my hand.
she thought maybe it was a flaw in the
packaging.
i suspect, however, it was just me.
