I love a long weekend.
I am not back to work until Tuesday
and I don’t even really care
(ok, I care a little bit)
that the weather sucks today.
I am warm and toasty
with a full tank of oil,
food in the fridge,
books to read,
shows to watch
and so many things to distract me
like planning my garden,
playing with my new phone,
and watching the birds that finally
found the feeder on my window.

Micro bits and pieces of joy.
There is happiness in noticing.

TO THE LIST…THINGS I AM LOVING: 😍

🐣I am obsessed with birds stopping by my little bird cafe. And the funny thing is that Finnegan the cat also loves to watch them. For an inside/outside cat, he is pretty laid back about them and will lay on the desk and watch them but never goes after them when we are outside.

🐣Last weekend, we went to a spring market
specifically so I could get this Tide and Tallow
hair mask and blush…I know I just posted about a
blush but this one is a different color
ANDINEEDEDIT, don’t judge me.
and hair mask? ohhhhh. You are speaking my love language. :)

🐣so excited about spring and gardens and plants…
I even ordered a ladder! I have plans. Big plans.
Possibly slightly dangerous plans.

🐣I am SUPER EXCITED about this movie coming out!
I laughed out loud watching the trailer.

🐣speaking of movies, I watched this for the first time
last night and it is such a beautifully animated movie.
I loved it. I was surprised to see it had some bad ratings
about the animation specifically, because I seriously loved it.
I don’t care a lot about critics anyway…
I like to form my own
twisted opinions.

🐣I don’t think I have to say this but I will.
I loveeeeee my new phone. (Galaxy S26 ultra, as usual)
I am sad I couldn’t get the same case I had on my S24
but I’ll adjust. I just don’t like change that much. Heh.
AND I AM FREE FROM THE REIGN OF CONTROL
BELL HAD ON ME. That change I am more than ok with.

Happy long Easter weekend to you….
I hope the bunny finds you and
brings you eggs and bubbles and maybe a
skipping rope.
(or wait…maybe that’s what I want.)
:)

so this friday
i can definitely gush
about the new phone…
now that it has a case
and screen protector
AND
i have actually taken it out of the box.

i love it.

(what i don’t love is no headphone jack…just sayin’ samsung…)

but…
the camera.

i am loving the camera…
i am not really a big fan of super zoom photos
on anything so that didn’t really matter to me
but i like the option for wide angle
and for fitting more people into a selfie.

i’m still just playing with it all
and learning but
i am not disappointed with my choice.

other things i am loving
in random order:

covered bridge sweet bbq kettle chips
naps
cucumber fresh out of the garden with salt & pepper
the charlie brown theme pack i am using on my new phone
the new dress i got from how bazaar
