friday i'm in love...

A rainy, wet friday
but I’m ok with that.
I cleaned the house this morning
and now I am in fresh pjs
and a hair mask
and monster slippers
eating cinnamon hearts
and listening to
mumford and sons
while puttering around
at the little blue desk.

I know it’s immature
but I am avoiding the news…
I am scared that my brain
won’t know the difference
between the responsibility of
being informed
and the inability to
claw my way out of the
rabbit hole
a person can easily fall into.

I don’t know what to believe…
I don’t know what is true
and what is blatant speculation
and distraction and lie.
I don’t know enough about anything
to feel informed
and what is informed anyway
if what you are being told is
a slant, an agenda, a motive…

I am tired.

So instead, I put the phone out of my reach
and I watch the chickadees outside my window,
I crunch cinnamon hearts between my teeth.
I listen to songwriters and poets and
the pug snoring on the couch.
I stand on the deck
and feel the misty rain on my face
and I breathe deep.

This.
This is where I am today.

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE:

💜I absolutely positively fell in love with this house and property and this guy’s mindset.

💜I am hungry for music lately….like literally starving for it. Here is what is on repeat: this one, obsessed with this one, oh….and this one! and thisssssss!

💜I adore the colors in this kitchen…and the whole house really.

💜 cinnamon hearts

♥ coming home to find a big bag of smurfs on my doorstep
including these which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!! :)

happy friday…
i’m looking forward to curling up
on the couch with a blanket and a cup of soup
by the christmas tree
and losing myself in a good book
for the rest of the night.

friday i'm in love (the movie & music edition)

So….this is not really a love or a like…
just an observation so far
but Google Play (music)
is switching to YouTube music…
I’m not sure how I feel about it yet.

I listen to music daily..
even more now that I work from home.
It plays in the background all day,
in my car, all night when I sleep.

The only time I don’t listen to music
is when I am going for a walk.
I want to hear “outside” when I am outside.
Also, I am afraid to wear headphones
in public because I am afraid
I will sing out loud
and nobody wants that.

I have different playlists for
activities, moods, holidays, people…
and my tastes range from
a to z
and almost everything in between.

I am currently loving:
♥ angus & julia stone

♥ paper kites

♥ dermot kennedy

which kind of leads to a movie
that has completely stuck in my head
but mostly
because of music….

Rudderless

I adored this movie.
Billy Crudup
Anton Yelchin (who I might have the tiniest crush on)
it was sweet and thoughtful,
funny and interesting
AND OH THE SOUNDTRACK.
they do a cover of
the wheels on the bus
that I absolutely loved….
it’s not quite the same on the OST
but sooooo great in the movie….

and the song
sing along
breaks my heart every time.

I love movies about music…
got any suggestions? :)
or whatcha listening to?
