friday i'm in love.....(but not with fiona....stupid hurricane head)

September 23, 2022 Arlene Giddings

well….the hatches are battened
and there is chicken fricot on the stove,
fresh biscuits and cinnamon sugar donuts
from water street bakery,
frozen water bottles
ready to do double duty
as a cold back up if needed for food,
phones are charged,
all the animals are safe in the house,
even the roamer Finnegan the cat
though he is not happy about it.

It’s a funny kinda friday…
a little dark, a little gloomy…
sorta stressy
with the whole no debit/credit
thing, not that it really affects me
directly at the moment
but my brain
gets all
this is how the end of the world happens
and wondering if the conspiracy
theorists know more than
given credit for
and then I fall down in that
little bit of a fear spiral
sooooooooo
I have just put on my smurf pjs
and am going to
hunker down with a
cold can of diet coke
and maybe get lost
in a movie for a bit…

How’s your Friday going?

THINGS I AM LOVING ON A FRIDAY:

♥ give yourself permission to be creative
♥ i heart roald dahl
♥ wild horses….oh my heart….
♥ i love this!
♥ if you are like me & perpetually undecided….

friday i'm in love...

This was not taken today….
today is not a blue sky
sunshine-y white cloud Friday.

It is gray and cold and windy
with a constant threat of rain
but small moments where
the sun breaks through
and I bolt outside
in my pjs and ginormous bathrobe type sweater
and bunny slippers
scared that I will miss it.

It is a friday that I should be using
to clean the house,
to pay my bills,
to make to do lists that I
probably won’t do
because by the time
I have done creating them
with indexes and color coding
and fancy doodles,
the sun will have come back out
and I will be gone looking for
adventure
that does not involve checking
anything off a to do list….
unless it’s various flavors of ice cream to try.

Anyway, with that in mind,
I bring you today’s list:

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE WITH:

♥ me and a bestie are going here to see them again Tuesday night!! :)
Andy Maize and Aaron Comeau of the Skydiggers come together for a special night of music at the Trailside.

♥ Ummm. Did someone say Space Treats? Like…astronaut food? Yes please!
I desperately want to try the freeze dried ice cream sandwich :)

♥ I want this in my life. I don’t need it. But I want it. :)

♥ Jinkies! Look at this!!!

♥ this post….

♥a chance to see a whole lotta people that
I haven’t seen in a whole lot of a long time for a summer BBQ.
It’s hard to explain how happy that made me.

I met this little guy
while out taking photos
of dirt roads
and blossomy trees…
he was sweet enough to
pose for a photo…
but then he said he had to run,
something about a meeting
he was late for.

THINGS I AM LOVING ON A FRIDAY….

♥ this resonated with me…how do YOU define success…
♥ the surprise sesame street bag that was left on my doorstep

♥ a co-worker friend dropping off eggs and tomato plants!!
♥ attempting to cut my back lawn at least 3 times now & coming
home today to see that someone finished it for me….people
are seriously so sweet
♥ spending part of my Friday adventure in a BFF’s
brand spanking new hot tub! :)
♥ now THIS is my kinda connoisseur, heeheehee…no…seriously.
♥ They found Manuela!!!!!
♥ this is soooooo mesmerizing!!!
♥ pretty pink flowers and sparkle shoes

Happy Friday to you!!!
♥♥♥♥♥

It’s a quiet, contemplative friday
in the big orange house….
rain hitting the window,
pretty music playing,
lilac candle lit…

I feel very
sensory
today…slow, calm, thoughtful.
I feel hungry
for things…in a way I can’t explain…
soft, loose clothes…
the smell of wood smoke, bubbly sprite in a fancy glass,
fresh berries, juicy jams on thick buttered toast,
books in a steamy bathtub,
misty rainy walks,
thick body creams that smell like marshmallows,
i want to lose myself in moments
by myself…wandering, wondering
and just absorbing life.

Days like this
I want to shut off social media,
I want to disappear in a little cabin
in the woods…I want to get lost in
music and books and nature.

I have been feeling
conflicted
lately…walking a thin line
between completely happy and content
and being confused and uncertain and
honestly…a little scared
but I am not even sure of what.

Age maybe.

I fear being alone
almost as much as I fear
opening up enough
to allow myself to
let someone else in.

And that
was Friday’s confession.
Heh.

Somedays I come here to write one thing
but something else comes out
and I say eff it and hit publish.

(cause maybe somebody else feels like me)

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE WITH:

♥ this song. I love that it’s by a band called Whiskey Myers. And I love the twang. :) And the harmonica.
♥ i always love this blog but this post really struck me today.
♥ just a “nice, plain walk” - best advice ever :)
♥ yes please
♥ i got bamboo!! Hmmmmmm.
