friday i'm in love...

It was a rainy Friday off
but I didn’t really mind.
I spent the day drinking coffee in a pumpkin mug,
catching up on blogs and pinterest,
making big plans for updating
my living room colors and
creating a new artsy/creative space and
reading nook
and finally getting back
to the little blue desk and
tried out my new paints.
Big learning curve…..but still so fun!

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE

♥ i am super excited about this and have been adding the bands
that i am not familiar with to my playlist!

♥ did you know that a group of jellyfish is called a smack?
Now you know.

It’s Friday and I am off until Tuesday…
and then off most of next week, too.
I am feeling a strong
hello summer where have you been vibe
happening in my life
right now.

Today I spent 3 hours on a trail
and just lost myself in flowers
and butterflies and rainstorms
and the smell of sweet clover
and fresh cut grass
and watched the clouds pass by.

And I realized
I am a
meanderer.
Which is not a real word
but it aptly describes who I am
so I am owning it.
I meander. Aimlessly.
I explore. I mosey along….
I lollygag….I putter….
I get lost in the details of bark on a tree
or see dragon heads emerging from clouds
and then I make up stories
in my brain as I
meander.

It’s why I am alone so much. :)

All in all, it was a very good Friday.

THINGS I AM LOVING:

• i love miniatures

• this. i am considering doing this for myself….as I STILL often reach for my no longer existent wedding ring.

• this feels appropriate right now…and honestly, all of the time.

• my perfectly perfect new adventure backpack that got fully broken in on today’s hike

• i know if you follow me anywhere else, you will already know this but THIS BOOK. I am loving this frigging book….I took book breaks while walking today. And also, Finnegan loves the book but was slightly distrustful of the hammock. :D

I kinda feel like this is how I want summer to be…
books, yummy food, hammock, trails, books, photography,
beaches, bare feet, messy hair….just leaning into summer
with all my might.

What’s on your list? ♥

friday i'm in love...

It’s hard to believe it’s already the
middle of January.

And, so far, as far as
Januarys go…
this has been a pretty good one.

I got out with the camera
on a wintery-sparkly Friday adventure
today and I’m so glad I did.

Granted I drove for
four hours
and didn’t really
go anywhere
but that’s kinda the way I like it.

It was a perfect morning.
Snow-sparkles
every where you looked…
a perfect playlist…
mild temperatures…
and nowhere to be.

No candy or diet coke though.
Still hard into the new year resolutions…
it’s early yet. :)

Things I am loving right now:

♥ that the book trading continues to grow…
I love that when someone is coming over now
we automatically talk about possible book trades
and I keep mine by the front door so people
can easily choose what they want
(at a safe 6 foot distance)

♥ being able to go out in a hoodie in January

♥ speaking of hoodies, this is my new favorite hoodie
that Santa brought me as a late surprise! :)

♥ Making time for tea…journals…music…hot showers
giggly phone calls…taking a best friend out for her birthday…
and tried a new meditation/women’s wellness session
that was so interesting. #glow2021 was a good word for the year
so far.

friday i'm in love....

♥ with dashing out the door at the end of the day, camera in hand,
to catch the last rays of light on a pretty dirt road

♥ with how people send me messages telling me “you need to try this dirt road”
or tag me in things related to smurfs, sesame street, toys for sale, happy meals…

♥ with this song….i am officially obsessed

♥ blog posts like this

♥ second season of this show

♥ a lunch-on-the-deck visit with a best friend

♥ my new fitbit clockface…his spidey-sense tingles less as the battery dies!

♥ winding dirt roads that lead to sunlit surprises…

♥ with knowing that my kid will always check my car for me…
while also accenting it with stickers and plates… :)
