friday i'm in love...

It’s a funny kinda friday…
a little dark, a little gloomy…
sorta stressy
with the whole no debit/credit
thing, not that it really affects me
directly at the moment
but my brain
gets all
this is how the end of the world happens
and wondering if the conspiracy
theorists know more than
given credit for
and then I fall down in that
little bit of a fear spiral
sooooooooo
I have just put on my smurf pjs
and am going to
hunker down with a
cold can of diet coke
and maybe get lost
in a movie for a bit…

How’s your Friday going?

THINGS I AM LOVING ON A FRIDAY:

♥ give yourself permission to be creative
♥ i heart roald dahl
♥ wild horses….oh my heart….
♥ i love this!
♥ if you are like me & perpetually undecided….

a little mini-stay-cation

I have been off since last Thursday…
and I feel like I have made the most of those days.

Supper with the girls
at Island Stone Pub Wednesday night…
beach day with an old friend
Thursday in Cavendish
then supper on the boardwalk
at Poutine Plus where
I got to see some old friends
that always makes me happy
and an adorable little 3 year old came
and sat with us to eat her food…
then a walk on the Summerside boardwalk
to finish off the day…

Friday was Canada Day
and I was sunburned and
kinda missing how when the
kids were little
and we’d all spend Canada Day
together…
but I decided to do the
Homestead Trail in Cavendish
with the additional MacNeill Loop
so…10 kms.
I had a little rest/nap on one
of the benches partway through…
heh.

Friday night was fireworks
in Charlottetown…
which I think I might have sat
directly UNDERNEATH…
but still pretty enjoyable
plus I got to hear Fabulously Rich
and glad that I went
even if I went all by myself….

Saturday was trying out the new
car tent…which I love!
Attempting a walk but the
thunder rolled in
so spent some time at a beach
reading and eating fresh strawberries…
Saturday night, I went to the
movies all by myself to see
the new Minions movie in 3D…
and I am so glad I pushed out of
my comfort zone to do that.

Sunday was spent
early morning setting up
at the beach with
my little beach tent
and a radio
and a book…
some friends came by
and hung out for a bit
just before another
thunder storm rolled in…
I got the tent down literally
just - in - the - nick - of - time.

And I still have one day of vacation left :)

friday i'm in love...

This was not taken today….
today is not a blue sky
sunshine-y white cloud Friday.

It is gray and cold and windy
with a constant threat of rain
but small moments where
the sun breaks through
and I bolt outside
in my pjs and ginormous bathrobe type sweater
and bunny slippers
scared that I will miss it.

It is a friday that I should be using
to clean the house,
to pay my bills,
to make to do lists that I
probably won’t do
because by the time
I have done creating them
with indexes and color coding
and fancy doodles,
the sun will have come back out
and I will be gone looking for
adventure
that does not involve checking
anything off a to do list….
unless it’s various flavors of ice cream to try.

Anyway, with that in mind,
I bring you today’s list:

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE WITH:

♥ me and a bestie are going here to see them again Tuesday night!! :)
Andy Maize and Aaron Comeau of the Skydiggers come together for a special night of music at the Trailside.

♥ Ummm. Did someone say Space Treats? Like…astronaut food? Yes please!
I desperately want to try the freeze dried ice cream sandwich :)

♥ I want this in my life. I don’t need it. But I want it. :)

♥ Jinkies! Look at this!!!

♥ this post….

♥a chance to see a whole lotta people that
I haven’t seen in a whole lot of a long time for a summer BBQ.
It’s hard to explain how happy that made me.

whatcha readin'? {goal 35::book 10}

I can’t lie.
I bought this book for the
title alone….
it just made me happy
in a David Bowie kinda way…

But it was a good read…
biographical fiction that is
based loosely on the life of Talitha Getty
who was beautiful and interesting
and slightly tragic and sad…

It took me a little bit to get into it…
at first, it felt like one of those
”trying too hard” kinda books…
but it grew on me.

NEXT UP:: BOOK OF LONGINGS - SUE MONK KIDD

friday i'm in love....

I met this little guy
while out taking photos
of dirt roads
and blossomy trees…
he was sweet enough to
pose for a photo…
but then he said he had to run,
something about a meeting
he was late for.

THINGS I AM LOVING ON A FRIDAY….

♥ this resonated with me…how do YOU define success…
