friday i'm in love 👻

It’s the first day of new month.
That makes me happy.

THINGS I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW:
🍂I have not had a “really bad” headache
in about a week.

🍂Mild fall temperatures that make me
want to be outside which means I made it
to the park that I always try to get to
for fall photos and it did not disappoint.

🍂Reading this made me laugh cause…
me. I’m the red flag. Me.
I fit two out of three of the flags.

🍂this was just cool.

🍂Did a dry needling session with my
physio girl and she focused on the front muscles
in my neck…and while it hurt like the devil
to have it done, please see my first entry
regarding no bad headaches in a week…
fingers crossed.

🍂So excited to have gotten tickets for this
tonight! Nirvana!! Grunge!!! Yay!

I am still sad that Sarah McLachlan’s
Moncton concert is postponed but I am
hopeful it will be rescheduled.
More finger crossing. 😊

and a random picture of the pug
cause he’s cute
and I haven’t posted anything
about him in a long time.

friday i'm in love... ♥

It’s been a little bit
since I have been here for a
friday-i’m-love…
and I wasn’t really sure that I
even felt like doing one today
but deep down I know that
on the days I feel the least like doing this,

those are the days that I need to do it the most.

Find the good in my life,
focus on the bright moments,
savor the sticky, sweet parts
and let go of the sad or the broken bits or the stressiness.

♥FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE♥

♥ I got a new diffuser for the living room…
I have been using orange essential oil in it
and it just makes me so happy. ☺

♥ one of my most favorite bloggers is
back online!!!! I was seriously so geekily excited!
Beautiful photos and flowers and knitting and
building stuff and sweet words. Go check her out!

♥ my girl and I watched this movie and wow.

♥ I have been loving these stripey halloween pjs
I got on sale…they are my new favorites!

♥ the last painting I posted online SOLD! ☺

♥ creamy milky sweet hot chocolate
in a polka dot mug with teeny tiny
marshmallows

♥ this show…which my girl does not
love cause it’s too sickly-sweet for her
and there are no chainsaw blood thirsty killer
on a rampage…but I love it…i love anna kendrick
in it, and the writing is so good and it’s sweet
and honest and my girl should just consider
herself lucky that I didn’t see it before she born
cause I am pretty enamored of the name Darby now…
and she may have been a “Darby” instead of an
”Onionhead”…teeheehee.

♥ This song has been on repeat in the big orange house…

♥ happy friday! ♥

tuesday truths

i love fall.

i really do.
the brilliance of the trees,
the crunch under my feet
of leaves and twigs
snapping and crackling…
the smell of wood smoke in the air
and feeling like
after the go-go-go
panicked frenzy to enjoy
EVERY FRIGGING SECOND OF SUMMER
while it’s here,
now
i can start
to slow down….

now
i start to give myself permission
to climb into bed
with a mountain
of fuzzy blankets,
some hot chocolate,
and a pile of books….

fall is movies and stories and blanket forts,
trail hikes, if i feel like it, and messy hair
(cause my hat will cover it anyway),
vanilla scented candles,
cinnamon apples, brown sugar on toast…
big thick fuzzy socks (but never in bed!)
and pajamas with hoods…

fall is cozy.

i love summer.
summer is exciting and exhilarating
and on a deadline
and you can’t waste a second
cause if you blink,
it’s gone.

but fall…
fall is kinda like my mom.
Comforting and sweet and
always makes me feel better.

winter, on the other hand…well….
i kinda hate that guy.
Heh.

i'm not sure what it is about fall...

but i am incredibly
less productive
in the fall.

i'm good right up until it starts to get
just a little bit dark..
like...6 pm...
and then i just want
pajama pants, some hot chocolate,
my phone and the couch.

i am all about movies and
tv shows and good books
and finding new apps
and naps...so many naps.

as soon as the sun starts to set,
it seems to take any energy reserves
i had left
with it...

hopefully
this is just a phase
and maybe i'll grow out of it.
:)

and really, i'm writing this
in hopes that people are going to say
THAT'S totally normal,
i'm like that, too!
heh.
i'm all about validation
