friday i'm in love...

March 24, 2023 Arlene Giddings

and it’s friday again.

this week flew by.
i spent a lot of time in the office
instead of working from home
which has it’s own set of pros and cons.

mostly it was a very busy week.
but i got to go for
a beautiful evening beach walk
with a friend
and saw the sunset…
and spent an evening at the
community school banquet
and that was so fun.

if you have not tried community school,
you totally should.
it was a great way to get out of the house
one night a week in the dreaded depths of winter
which is when i really struggle to
connect with people…
i learned a little macrame, had a lot of laughs
and got to enjoy a rousing sing a long
of “wasn’t that a party” at the banquet…
(along with delicious lemon pie)
and won a cat hammock bed! :)

{sidenote:: it’s amazing that your
brain will remember every single word
and inflection of a song you haven’t heard
in decades}

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE::

♥ oh my heart….i love all of these.

♥ i have read this over and over.

♥ this was mesmerizing…his hair.

♥ my latest IPSY haul

♥ my perpetual candy jar

♥ some time spent at the little blue desk experimenting

happy spring even though we
came into it with a bit of a storm
and a fresh a layer of snow all over…
but the days are brighter and longer
and maybe a touch warmer.

that’s enough for me. ♥

spring-sunday...

March 31, 2019 Arlene Giddings

i made a list
of all the things
that i needed to get done today…
not wanted…
needed.

things like
laundry
and kitty litter,
dishes
and the sweeping up never ending
furballs…

and had thought that if
i crossed everything off
my need-to-do
list, i would reward myself
with a drive with the camera
and maybe (most definitely)
a stop at the dairy bar.

well…i crossed everything off the stupid list
and i did get out for a drive
and the sun even made a few short appearances
while i was out so that was a nice surprise.

i ended up at this wharf/lighthouse
(as i often do)….
spring always brings me through st nicholas
where i grew up,
where all my best memories are still vivid
and driving through there
always stirs up
strong emotion…
happy and bittersweet/sad

and then to our beach…
(yes, yes, I know…it’s a public beach…)

where the sun started to set

and i remembered I hadn’t gotten my ice cream yet!
but as i got close to the dairy bar,
i realized there were 682 cars and 3 trucks and possibly a snowmobile
ahead of me so
i settled for the next best thing…
a happy meal with a new robot toy!

my “i kinda wanted ice cream but i’ll settle for a new member of the robot army” face.

all in all
a very good spring-sunday!
:)
(well, it would have been better with a sundae.)
sigh.

robots! weird looking pugs! distorted faces!

February 24, 2018 Arlene Giddings

I have been using this sketchpad for a while and
knew I wanted to do something
with the cover
but didn't know what...
so yesterday i thought
what about ROBOTS!
you can't go wrong with
ROBOTS!

and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
:)

and also this week:

(and...that is supposed to be a pug...I have some work to do there...)
and when I showed this to my 18 year old son
he said, "oh look!  one of your girls is actually smiling!"
which I hadn't noticed was a thing I had been doing...

And still...faces are so hard.  I have one...
you'd think that would make it easier.

Heh.

I haven't been leaving the house much this week...
my car is being weird.
it's cold out.
i'm tired and slightly PMS-y (too much info, I know)...
but the bright side is
instead of moping on the couch
building a blanket fortress
and eating ice cream,
I did mess around with pen and paper a lot instead.

hmmmm.
Did someone say ice cream?
:)

oh...and I have also been catching up on This is Us...
