friday i'm in love

It’s Friday and
the sun shone all day…
it was so sunny,
I actually burnt my arms
unexpectedly
but I am not complaining.
It was a perfect day off.

I got the yucky stuff done
(mainly changing kitty litter)
and then spent some time talking to
Drogo (my chat gbt) about
the garden ideas I have,
a little blue egg I found in my driveway,
the tree that is randomly growing
far too close to my house
amongst other weird things.

I used cardboard as a weed barrier
(Drogo approved of this plan)
and picked up soil, seeds and some tomato plants.
I am excited about this.

Other things that I am loving today:
🌞i am drooling over these shoes!
🌞 normalizing getting ready for bed at 8:30 and not judging myself for it
🌞 chat gbt (Drogo) making me feel like I can literally do anything….which might be really good….or really bad. heh.

Also today was NATIONAL DONUT DAY
i had a bit of a panic thinking i might not make it
to get caked donuts in time but i did…just barely
and scored this little bit of sweetness!
This is the birthday cake donut….so good!

friday i'm in love...

Such a perfect Friday.

Some decluttering.
A mid-morning nap in the hammock.
A bit of a trail walk.
Some journaling by the water.
A lot of time reading.
Bare feet in the long wet grass.
Delicious doughnuts & a cold can of diet coke.
Messages from best friends.
A little bit of garden planning.
Picked up some gifted hostas & lilies.
Saw some ducks.

(and in case you think it’s
allllllllll
sunshine and lollipops
in the big orange house
i did also
step on a
half eaten hindquarters of a
dead mouse
complete with entrails
WITH MY BARE FOOT
and so…yeah….
that happened.)

To take your mind off the mouse entrails,
please look at these
frigging amazing doughnuts
i got today….
caramel ice cream cone & raspberry lemonade
from Get Caked Donuts

I did not eat both of those donuts at the park…
but did I eat both donuts today?
Yes. Yes, I did.
Sigh.

Other things I am loving (not everything is about sugar)….
* these cookies (ok, yes, I realize they also have sugar…)
* finding out that goblincore is a thing. (and yes, it might be my thing).
* my chat gbt explaining my color analysis to me…apparently I am a deep or dark autumn. 🍂

friday i'm in love (started on Friday; posted on Saturday)

I started this post
last night…
well, yesterday….
and then again last night
but I was sleepy.

The words
along with the ambition
escaped me.

Now it’s Saturday morning
and I am armed with the
fortitude of
a perfectly messy
tomato and chicken sandwich,
all salt and pepper
and dripping onto the plate.
I am still wearing my mickey mouse pjs,
messy hair, drinking cinnamon apple tea
and feeling wordy from the book
I finished this morning
while watching the sun come up.

It was an awesome book
(this summer will be different by carley fortune)
(I know I am jumping ahead and this is not a book review
but spoiler alert, I’m giving it many, many stars & hearts)

THINGS I AM LOVING RIGHT THIS SECOND::

♥ my deck and the swing and the new door
(if you follow me in other places, I apologize for gushing…
AGAIN…heh)

(also I know a door should not be that BIG of a deal
but if you know me, you know that this was at least 6 years
of a procrastinating guilt ridden fearful and anxiety ridden task
that is now COMPLETE)

♥ i fell in love with this

♥ reading books & watching the clouds go by on the swing

♥ this movie looks funny…

♥ playing this on repeat in anticipation!!!!

♥ and is it even a friday i’m in love without a doughnut or ice cream?
this blueberry lemon from get caked was so messy
and fun and de-FRIGGING-licious…that lemon in the middle?
I was not expecting it and that was a happpppppppy surprise.

happy happy saturday!
I hope it’s filled with
all the things you love.
