friday i'm in love....♥♥♥

It’s the kind of night
that’s a little bit crisp,
a little bit cool
but the sun is still shining
and I just can’t make myself
go inside
so I am wrapped up
in a blanket
curled up in the pop tent
with some ginger ale
in a fancy glass
while I click away
on my laptop
and I am happy…

truly seriously happy.

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE:

♥ with how this budget walkway turned out….
I wasn’t really sure at first but now I am so happy with it

♥ polka dot dresses and naps in the hammock

♥ with watching this with my daughter…
she had never seen it so it’s fun to watch it with her.

♥ this perfect poem for today

♥ starry, starry skies

♥ perfectly lemony, perfectly powdered sugary doughnuts

I hope you had a fantastic friday! :)

whatcha readin'? {goal 35::book 8}

I feel like lately the only thing
I get on here to write
are “whatcha readin’” posts
which is good in a way…
it means I have been reading a lot
but I haven’t been saying much more.

There is lots going on for sure
and now that I have figured out
how to write blog posts
OUTSIDE
well…….
you may be hearing a lot more from me
(which may be good
or bad
depending…heehee).

Back to the book.
I picked this up
because of the cover and
the title
and the author’s name
which seemed so perfect
for a book about witches….
Hester Fox.
Like…..yeah. ♥

It was a good book…
It was a nice quick easy read…
the writing felt a little….
young to me,
if that makes sense.

But it was an enjoyable read.

whatcha readin'? {goal 35::book 7}

I love when I accidentally
come across a “Reese’s book club” pick…
this was one.

I really enjoyed reading this.
The writing was pretty, the story line was
interesting and it was a pretty quick read.

I just read that it is now part of a trilogy
and that a movie has been made of it
so I may have to check that out.

whatcha readin'? {goal 35::book 6}

I picked this book up
while I was still in Halifax
but at the tail end of my dad’s stay
in the hospital…
it’s not my usual kinda book purchase
but it ended up being a pretty good choice…
a lot of twists
a lot of turns
a lot of thinking you know
what’s going on
and then a lot of realizing
you don’t actually know
what’s going on….

so…
kinda like life
in a nutshell.

(seriously
every time I write about a book
I have read
I feel like I need the disclaimer
that this is
obviously not a
real book review…
this is just me saying
hey, so I read this book
and then going completely
off topic
with whatever seems
to be currently occupying
the space in my
brain….)

friday i'm in love....a little bit of ranting, a lot of raving. ♥

While the day started off
iffy
with a frustrating trip
to the walk in clinic
(getting there half an hour
before they opened according to
their website but finding out that
if you want to register
you really have to come AN HOUR
before the time posted
ON THEIR WEBSITE…
am I bitter? maybe a l'il bit)

it got better.

I spent some time reading a new book
(that is SO good, by the way)
by the boardwalk
and even did a short walk
in between weird little rainshowers…
AND I ate at Subway
which I can do now
because I can order using the app!!!
If you know me, you will know
that ordering from Subway stresses me out…
it’s too many questions…
as soon as they ask me what kind of bread,
i’m done. I’ve drawn a blank. I begin
stuttering & stammering and then
I lose the thread of the entire food order
and sometimes just leave.

So yeah…the app saved my life. :)

and then…..there was ice cream…. :)

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY & YOU KNOW IT….

♥ can i please have a school bus????
♥ i want want want WANT this.
♥ when 26 was about 3, she said “that’s ok, I’ll wear it again when
I come back as a little girl” because she had outgrown a favorite dress…
this made me think of that.
♥ I really, really wanna stay here….I know it’s slightly out of my
usual range of “maritime travel” though. Heh.
