- the idea that summer is coming
to a close is making me feel
panicky and anxious
like
i haven't done it all yet,
i'm not ready for it to end! - i loved the garden so much
that i made myself
sick
of the friggin' garden.
enough already with the
watering
and the picking
and the watering...
next year, i'm using a hose.
and not planting 60 billion
of EVERYTHING. - i want to go to the trailside cafe
and see dylan menzie...
because seriously...
have you heard him?
(and this one is in my most-favorite-church!) - i had a small panic attack
and thought that EVERYTHING on my
summer bucket list
had to be done by labor day
until someone kindly pointed out to me
that labor day is NOT the first day of fall.
heh.
but still...SO LITTLE TIME...
(there's that panicky feeling again) - maudie may have replaced the muppets
for now as number one in my
desert island movies...
i know that seems like a weird contrast...
but...if you didn't know that i might be a little weird by now
then you may just want to stop reading...heh...
(but....don't really stop reading! i was just kidding!)
tuesday truths...
i have not been here
in a long, long time.
it's not that i haven't thought
about coming here...
i just got carried away
with spring
and tiny sprouting sunflower seeds
and planting string bean seeds
and daydreaming about
what to plant where
and how much
and should i build a fort
in the backyard
and camouflage it with string bean plants.
i feel a little obsessed.
but in a good way.
:)
my back is aching and my
tennis elbow does not like raking...
my neck is stiff and face is
slightly windburnt...
my polka dot rubber boots
have stepped in sheep manure...
most of the time, i have no idea
what i'm doing
but
that's kind of half the fun.
oh...and when i am not out tearing
the yard apart
i'm in the house rehearsing my lines
for the next play...
i know...i know...
i might have said i would never do it again,
ok...i might have swore that i would never do it
again but you know me...
i secretly like to be shoved out of my comfort zone.
and it really was a lot of fun last time...
and even better this time now that i have a little
better idea of what to expect.
and again...if you see me muttering and gesturing
to myself as i walk home from work,
it's ok! i'm just repeating my lines..over...and over...and OVER...
i'll understand if you don't make eye contact...
i would probably do the same.
:)
happy big red heart day...(& a cautionary tale)
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 have been completely blown away by the surge in blog traffic
as a result of being mentioned in a recent CBC article about the
top 5 island bloggers...
and i also think it's funny to be able to say
"no, no...i was mentioned BY one of the top five bloggers...(one of my favorites, i might add) but i'm not one...yet...hahahah"
if you are visiting from the CBC article, HI THERE! :)
i'm so glad you dropped by!
♥ i have to get a bite plate....did i tell you that? sigh.
♥ i love taking pictures of pencil crayons.
♥ i might have dyed my hair slightly purple.
i see it in certain light and it shocks me sometimes...
but...mostly in a good way...
♥ i'm praying for a snow day.
♥ i sharpened ALL of my pencil crayons the other day...i have a lot of pencil crayons.

i've made a lot of new years resolutions this year
but, you'll be relieved to know,
giving up diet coke
was not one of them.
♥♥
i am in love with this show
and cannot believe that more people
are not raving about it...
it. is. so. funny.
♥♥♥
speaking of tv's...
ours decided last night that it no longer
wanted to exist in this world....it finally broke for real...
after warning us for months that this was coming...
which has made us very sad
and slightly panicky...
WE HAVE NO TV.
♥♥♥♥
i almost forgot to tell you this
but it's very, very important.
i loved the book "girl on the train"...
like...loved it....
but ohmygawdthemovie was SO freakin' bad.
and i LOVE emily blunt....normally...
what has happened.
i mean, i am used to and slightly expecting
that a movie is not going to live up to a book
but this....
this was painful.
♥♥♥♥♥
i dropped my phone twice yesterday.
do you have any idea how absolutely
terrifying that is...
if i break my phone,
THERE IS NOTHING TO REPLACE IT WITH
UNTIL THE NOTE 7 STOPS EXPLODING.
it's like carrying around a limited edition
12" EP of little red corvette that was pressed
by Prince himself in his own studio in the backyard
of Paisley Park and autographed
in his own blood
every day...
it can't be replaced and
it could break AT ANY TIME...
♥♥♥♥♥♥
one of the new years resolutions
that i DID make
is to blog more
so...
consider yourself warned.
heh.
but the good thing is
my resolve to follow resolutions
is
generally short lived.
:)
