friday i'm in love...on saturday...

March 21, 2020 Arlene Giddings

forgive me…
the days have become a bit of a blur…
:)

I started the week with
a schedule and a plan
but today
I feel a little detached,
a little lost on what I should do next…
I know I have lots I can do
but there seems to be nothing
I want to do.

So I thought I would distract myself
with the rabbit hole of the internet
for a little bit
and see if I can find some
inspiration.

Wanna come along?
I promise to keep 6 feet away
(I know what 6 feet is now after my
Christmas light debacle…heehee)

♥ gotta wash your hands anyway…look at this SHEEP SOAP!!

♥ got some spare time and looking for something to learn…

♥ a new meaning for book nook

♥ he can make an action figure out of a rubber duckie!!?

♥ drawing is a coping skill

♥ i so love this…

and stay tuned tomorrow…I have a new framed print to share!
:)

friday i'm in love...

November 23, 2018 Arlene Giddings

I know it has been awhile since I have been here.

I had started the NaNoWriMo challenge
but let’s face it…
I don’t do well with full month challenges
especially
right after a full month of inktober
and especially
when it involves something as
time consuming
as writing…

But I also did want to say thank you to everyone that
took time to read it.
I really really appreciated it!

So…good for me, I gave it a go…
but let’s just agree
that we all knew it wasn’t really going to happen
and move on.
:)

So! Back to my regularly scheduled programming
which means…friday i’m in love….

♥ this story about one of the first ever water parks killed me.
And it actually DID kill others. Crazy.

♥ i desperately need a dollhouse…desperately.
i don’t know if you really grasp how badly i want this.

♥ i think pugsley really needs a sweater and a coat and
maybe some rainboots….AND A BACKPACK.

♥ I NEED THESE SOCKS….

♥ i think i could do this…if i had a van…and a hammer…and a saw…
and…some other stuff.

♥ new disney movies coming out!!!!!

and finally, I just wanted to say how surprised I have been
by everyone’s reactions to my recent obsession…
watercolor cards.

I never expected the reaction to be so great…
and people to stop me on the street or in stores…
but I love it.
People have asked me how they can purchase them
and I will have them for sale soon on this site…
and stay tuned for a new contest…
and….maybe a calendar for 2019…if there is any interest in that…

Happy Friday!!!!

friday i'm in love....

June 8, 2018 Arlene Giddings

it's a cold gray friday...
i have the day off but
don't really feel like "adventuring".

instead
i think i am going to hunker down
with blogs and books,
paintbrushes and markers,
paper and pen
for most of the day
and meet a friend for coffee & treats
at samuel's this afternoon.

i heard a rumor that the sun might come out tomorrow.
so...maybe a saturday adventure instead?
are lilacs even out yet?  I was sure I saw some in Charlottetown
but I haven't seen any here yet!

there's no rule that it HAS to be a friday adventure.
(and, even if there was...I make the rules soooooooo...)
heh.

here are some things that have caught my eye this week though :)

♥  look at these doughnuts! 

♥  someday i will have a greenhouse...

♥  i want to write like this....

♥  i like this idea.....

♥  i didn't watch mr rogers...he must have been on cable...and i was
totally a mr dressup and sesame street kinda girl but i really do want to
watch this
....

♥  and ok.  i know i have already bugged you about this on my blog & facebook
and if you are lucky/unlucky enough to know me in real life,
i have likely bugged you about it there, too.
BUT THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD.
will someone else PLEASE watch it so that i have someone
to say "i KNOOOOOOOW!" when i say "that show is SO GOOD!"
AND i love the soundtrack.

"you should never tell a psychopath they are a pyschopath.
it upsets them."

April 27, 2018 Arlene Giddings

I know I haven't been here a lot
lately but with the sudden and sweet onset of spring
I am feeling like my batteries have been recharged
and I am ready to get back to the things that I love...

Speaking of things that I love
here is a bit of a list of what I am currently crushing on:

♥  It was Administrative Professional Day on Wednesday...
I know I don't talk about my "real" job a lot here (or any
social media...I like a firm line between home and work),
but I have to say that the people that I work with
were incredibly sweet this whole week...and the
countless cans of diet coke and enormous supply of jujubes
made me smile.  I love my job.

♥  I love that a real life ongoing game of tag was the inspiration
for this movie which looks like it is going to be hilarious!

♥  sunshine

♥  an evening ritual of taking the dog for a walk through the park

♥  an evening of Caesars and salty french fries, old friends and new ones,
loud jazz and lots of giggling...

♥  i still love this show.

it's been a long time
since i have done a "friday i'm in love"...
:)

♥ with season premieres!  old favorites and brand new ones...(what are you watching?)
♥ with this show...i am so sorry that i scoffed at it once upon a time...i'm definitely hooked now.
♥ the foo fighters have a new album (again...what do you call it now? album? cd? songs you magically pull out of the air?  i never know anymore)...and i have heard that i should check out the documentary on netflix, so i am adding that to my list.
♥ this song
♥ people finding things they thought they had lost forever...

♥ with all the sunflowers in my yard finally
♥ with my maple apple cider bourbon scented candle from Superstore.  i regret not buying more of these.
♥ with the thought of maybe trying this for October...but sticking with robot theme maybe...
♥ i don't like the weather is getting cooler...but i do like chicken fricot.
♥ superstore had the markers i was looking for...for A DOLLAR NINETY SEVEN.  and yeah, i'm not embarrassed to say they were crayola markers for ages 5 and up.  heh.

what are you watching/reading/listening to right now?
i'm always looking for ideas!
:)
