friday i'm in love...

♥ with how pugsley always finds
the perfect patch of sunlight
to bask in….

♥ coveting this blanket….so pretty

♥ they name their snowplows in scotland

♥ yep. pretty much.

♥ this made me laugh out loud.

♥ a quiet friday off…no plans, nowhere to be
and nowhere to go

looking forward to a
quiet night with blankets,
popcorn, diet coke and a movie
or two.

talk of clusters and covid,
testing and times
is making me feel tired
and a little bit anxious…
time to pull the plug on
social media for the night
and rest my brain.

Happy Friday.
xo

♥friday i'm in love....♥

happy sunny friday. :)
i thought today was going to be stormy
so i worked instead of taking my adventure day…
and psych!
it was a beautiful, sunny day.
sigh.

and then, i thought
that after work,
i would quick clean the house and vacuum
and cook supper and be all productive.

instead,
i have watched countless videos
on how to build a front step,
how to make my own window trim,
googled the cost of an air nailer,
watched movie trailers,
signed up for Crave/HBO
so i can watch all of game of thrones
and ate pringles.

THINGS I AM CRUSHING ON:

♥ i finally broke down and got a hair cut.
my favorite hairdresser closed up shop
a while ago and i haven’t gotten a hair cut since…
so yesterday, i bit the bullet and went.
it was fun to explain to a stranger
what exactly is going on with my hair
as far as the purple goes.
she seemed very…perplexed
and said that she would brainstorm
with another hairdresser
before my next appointment
to come up with an action plan.
heeheehee.
i am that person. the person that
requires an action plan to be put in place.
and she had to take like an inch off the length
which made me a little bit sad.
but it had to be done.
it’s part of the action plan.

heh.

♥ if you follow me on FB or instagram,
then you have already been bombarded
with photos of MY NEW ASTRONAUT BOOTS
which came on the same day that the
Perseverance rover landed on Mars. :)

i am in love with these boots.

♥ I listened to this amazing girl talk
on the Rich Roll podcast
and she blew my mind.
so young and already
has done so much…
and she sounds adorable
and brilliant and funny and i
want to be her friend.

♥ i know i told you i downloaded
TikTok and that i am hooked…
well, i have decided to try different things
that i have seen on it…the first being this foundation
powder from L’oreal called Infallible…
and i really liked it! :)

next up on the TikTok list…
make-at-home caramel popcorn!!

♥ the new foo fighters

♥ ummmm…five seasons of the muppet show
streaming on disney plus? YES PLEASE!

♥ yoga with this cat…
right after this photo was taken
he rudely attacked my head
and i called him a bad name.

happy friday!!
i hope yours was supercadulastical.

(on fridays, you can just make up
your words.
that’s a rule, i think.)
♥♥♥

friday i'm in love...with so many things... ♥

So many things making me happy right now::

♥ Today is my mom’s birthday. It’s a big one. ♥♥♥

♥ I have been making this chicken noodle soup
lately and loving it. I don’t know why I am still
always so surprised to find out a homemade
version tastes SO much better than a can.

♥ This little list fits in perfectly with my self-care word
for 2021 - glow.

♥ As does this…plus I just love that he thinks about
the poems over night…that he is really absorbing them…
so sweet. And makes me miss when my kids were littles.

♥ Just floss one tooth…start there….don’t think about the rest…

♥ I am on the last episode of the last season of this…
I loved it. I really did. It kept me on the edge of my seat for
most of it…

♥ I set up my new Canon Pixma printer today!!

♥ This week, I have seen chickadees, a squirrel and 2 foxes
in my yard. :)

♥ I finally caved and downloaded TikTok. I am not sure
why I held off for so long. I assumed it was all funny stuff
and pranks, etc…but I was SO wrong. :) There is so much
creativity happening there! Music, arts, videography,
photography…DIY, interior design, wellness, healthy eating…
I fell in love with this song because of a TiktTok duet. I’m hooked.
(also I love the line “I can’t save you with embers in my lungs….”)

Happy Friday!!! :)

friday i'm in love...

It’s hard to believe it’s already the
middle of January.

And, so far, as far as
Januarys go…
this has been a pretty good one.

I got out with the camera
on a wintery-sparkly Friday adventure
today and I’m so glad I did.

Granted I drove for
four hours
and didn’t really
go anywhere
but that’s kinda the way I like it.

It was a perfect morning.
Snow-sparkles
every where you looked…
a perfect playlist…
mild temperatures…
and nowhere to be.

No candy or diet coke though.
Still hard into the new year resolutions…
it’s early yet. :)

Things I am loving right now:

♥ that the book trading continues to grow…
I love that when someone is coming over now
we automatically talk about possible book trades
and I keep mine by the front door so people
can easily choose what they want
(at a safe 6 foot distance)

♥ being able to go out in a hoodie in January

♥ speaking of hoodies, this is my new favorite hoodie
that Santa brought me as a late surprise! :)

♥ Making time for tea…journals…music…hot showers
giggly phone calls…taking a best friend out for her birthday…
and tried a new meditation/women’s wellness session
that was so interesting. #glow2021 was a good word for the year
so far.

friday i'm in love...the comfort edition

♥ with long periods of deep, uninterrupted, heavy comforting sleep

♥ manchester orchestra - the gold

♥ chicken noodle cup of soup with crackers

♥ cinnamon-spicy tea in a polka dot mug

♥ a book read by the glow of the christmas lights

♥ this guilty pleasure show

♥ my new smurf display

♥ it is the season of stripey leggings and oversized socks…

♥ 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.
