friday i'm in love....

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."

friday i'm in love....

♥ with the Agent Carter series...
So....remember when I said I was going to watch all the
Marvel movies & shows in order of timelines (not release dates)?
Well...I started.  I watched Captain America - The 1st Avenger
and really liked it (although I fell asleep at the end of the movie
TWICE and had to re-watch but the lesson to take from that is
that I really cannot stay up past 10 pm.  It's pretty much impossible.)

So next on my list was Agent Carter.  Who I had never heard of
before the first Captain America movie.  And, I will admit, I was a little
dubious...I wasn't sure that I really wanted to commit to 2 seasons of a
show I had never heard of.

But I LOVED it.  LOVED it.  All caps bold type LOVED it.
And I have totally revived my dream of wanting to be a secret agent
when I grow up (the last time was when I desperately wanted to be Agent 99
from Get Smart).

♥ with this themed book box....all about Anne of Green Gables!!!!  :)

♥ with everything about this woman's house and gardens
and now she's building a STUDIO!!!
I know I have posted about her blog before and the
truth is, I will probably post about it again because I am
seriously smitten with everything she shares.

♥ I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS:

♥  And...since we are talking about awesome movies I can't wait for...

♥ and since we are talking about things I can't wait for...THERE WILL BE A WHOLE MONTH OF SUNDAES IN JUNE!!  Now...this is a culinary event that I can truly get behind. 

Happy long weekend!  :) :) :)  It's not too early to start eating sundaes, right?

friday i'm in love....

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. 

friday i'm in love...

☻ this cracked me up.

☻ it's 7 pm and still bright out... :)

☻ i love when you really aren't expecting a movie to be that great
and then it ends up being THAT great...this was one of those movies...
darkly funny and sad all at once. 

i need one of these...

seriously...I WANT EVERYTHING!

☻  don't mess with Canada...

☻  i loved everything about this blog post...

☻ this.  this was brilliant. and sad.  and scary. 

this blows my mind.  i could watch it again and again.
 

friday i'm in love...

♥♥♥
i have finally seen the movie Wonder
and i will tell you right now,
it did not disappoint.
i am not going to lie
i sobbed my way through most of it
but...a good kind of sobbing...
if you know what i mean...

♥♥♥
week 2 of 52 drawing labs book project...
check in on Sunday to see how it went

♥♥♥
yoga with adriene youtube videos...
for those days when i just can't make myself leave the house.
(cause, you know...winter.)

♥♥♥
neil gaiman.
i am seriously crushing on neil gaiman.
i want to be neil gaiman.
really.
my obsession with him right now
could qualify
as unhealthy.
(and if, by some cosmic twist in a bizarre but benevolent universe
he happens to read this blog post
or comment on the associated tweet,
i will most likely self combust from happiness...)

♥♥♥
i feel like a lot of us should read this...
more than once.
or ok...i feel like i should be reading this...
like once a day...as a reminder....
because i do all of these things.
i try to balance but
it's so easy to slip back into old habits.

♥♥♥
maggie's getting married!  are you going?  you should!
(and sidenote...i really miss not being involved in a play this year...
i was surprised by how much i missed it.)
