I am not sure why
but turtles seemed to take over
my brain when it came time
to create my bullet journal
for March…
i kinda liked that sleepy little guy above…
and the upside down one below…
well, i’m pretty sure that’s a self portrait.
it’s definitely how i feel sometimes…
diet coke, salty crackers, Guns and Roses really loud,
and working on cards for mother’s day.
because I do things like this.
I was talking to a friend at work
about movies
and he had just seen the new Avengers movie
and I mentioned that
I would like to watch all the superhero movies
and he told me
that there are lists online
that will give you the order to watch them in
by timeline
rather than by movie release date
and I got all excited and thought
NEW PROJECT!
and then thought
ohhhhhh I CAN TRACK IT!
and came home and googled a list
(although I now realize there is more than one list out there
so I feel a little ill thinking what if this is wrong but
anyway...)
and yeah...
this is why i was the weird kid in school.
well...this kind of thing
and the fact that I cried every day
until about grade 8
oh...
and there was the time I built a
spaceship out of a cardboard box
in my bedroom
when I was like....12....
but anyway...
oh...and if you haven't watched this show,
you totally should.
it's so good!
(i love yang. she will always be yang to me).

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.
i know i haven't talked a whole lot about
bullet journaling here lately
but it is definitely something i am still doing.
i recently put together my 2018 pages
and my january layouts
and i am pretty happy with how they turned out.
i am loving the watercolors...
and i absolutely love the blue and purple mix.
i kind of wanted it to have a
winter
theme which i think the colors have helped achieve.
i know i already talked about my goals and resolutions
for this year being focused on fun
but, after debating for a bit, i decided that
i would go with the word
embrace
for my "word" for 2018...i'm not sure why
but this word had just stuck with me...
and i think that all of the fun things i want to do
can still be encompassed if i make it my intent
to embrace 2018.
i kind of picture it as going into 2018
wholeheartedly...open minded...and positive...
my main goal for every year
always boils down to the same thing...
i just want to be happy.
because really...what's the point otherwise.
here are some of my january pages:
monthly calendar and habit tracker
3 things i really want for today - daily prompt i use
3 things i am grateful for each day...and usually...i have more than 3...
and the weekly layout...i have been using this layout for a long time now and still love it.
i tweak it a bit here and there but it pretty much stays the same.
and that's the january bullet journal.
sorry for the lame photos...one of my resolutions
is to get the big camera out again and start using it
and stop relying on my phone...
but it'll do in a pinch.
:)
I was going to go to the gym
AND the sauna
(which requires two clothing changes
so that is worthy of all caps).
i was going to dig out the christmas decorations
from that scary place
under the stairs
where no one wants to go.
i was going to clean off the deck
and tidy up the yard
and bake muffins
and buy groceries.
instead
i wore my pajamas all day
while i read new blogs
and got all nostalgic about
how blogging used to be
when i first started...
(in 2005...lonnnng time ago...)
i listened to the same christmas playlist
for 8 hours straight
while i annoyed the cats
trying to get them to sit still
for a picture or 10.
yeah. this made it much easier to use the computer. thanks, casey.
i ate stale day old doughnuts for
breakfast and lunch
and didn't brush my hair.
i made lists of all the things i
was going to do today
but
then didn't do them....
but the lists are pretty!
i edited some fall photos
instead of taking some new ones...
because that would require
going outside...
and also
getting dressed.
i doodled a little bit
and that was fun...
i can't decide if this needs more color or not...and this is a rotten photo...stupid early sunsets.
and now it's only 4:30
but it's starting to get dark
which means
i will eventually migrate to the couch
and eat popcorn for supper
while watching christmas movies.
the only good thing about it getting dark
this early is that i won't have long to wait
for it to get dark enough for me to
walk to the store in my pajamas
(because really...why change now?)
so i can get some diet coke.
cause you can't have popcorn without diet coke.
