wordless wednesday...
tuesday truths...
today was kind of an up and down day...
1.
i walked to work
in the misty rain...
but then the sun came out
for the walk home.
2.
emma found out today
that she has been accepted to
a school an hour and a half away...
which is fantastic!!!!!
(but deep down, i feel a little teeny tiny
shard of sadness...my little girl...off on her own...
it kind of makes my heart hurt a little)
but really, i'm proud and happy and excited for her!!!!!
(if it wasn't for just that little itty bit of sad).
3.
and
there is no up and down with this one...
there is just sad.
whatcha readin'? {2016::book 10 - goal 12}
ok....before I can say anything
about this book
I have to say...
she is adorable.
a-dor-able.
so quirky & cute & funny
and she totally gets off track in interviews
(which is a trait that I can completely relate to...
except not really in interviews
because, well, I'm not famous,
but in every day life conversations
and during what other people would easily consider
to be making small talk...)
and I loved this book.
I really knew nothing about felicia day
when I started reading this
so it was all a pleasant surprise to me...
I have since starting watching The Guild
and her interviews and may
have tried to find her home number and
address...you know, just to say hi...
and oh-my-gawd-you GET me!
(and i'm only slightly kidding...heh)
any book that appears to have
EMBRACE YOUR WEIRDNESS
as its main theme
is obviously right up the alley
of a girl who was always called weird
(and, for the record, it only stopped kinda hurting
to be called weird
when you decide to take it as a
compliment instead of an insult)
plus I made a list of things
that I really seemed to identify with her on:
- Anne of Green Gables:: how awesome is that! and she wanted to move to PEI!?! C'mon over, it's never too late! you can stay with us! :) (i know, i know...the stalker vibe again)
- She talked about a period of "who am I when The Guild ends" and I feel like I have been going through a bit of that myself with the end of the weddings...not on the same level (again...I am not famous), but still, identifiable.
- She also refers to herself as neurotic a lot. Which made me think...wait...am I neurotic because I relate to so much of this? Is that neurotic for me to think that? I need to go google neurotic.

NEXT UP: THE HEART GOES LAST - MARGARET ATWOOD
friday i'm in love...(the long weekend edition)
♥ with long, extra long weekends...mine started on thursday
with a trip to moncton with my girl...
which meant two things -
one: i got to spend a full day just hanging out with emma :) :) :)
two: i can cross "drive to moncton" off my bucket list
there were teeny tiny mushrooms and lots and lots of moss...
♥ meatball subs & cherry vanilla dr pepper with my favorite guy
♥ got up early this morning & spot cleaned the house
so that i could go out hiking
guilt free
with one of my best friends...
armed with a hand drawn map, a camera, 1 banana
and a lot of enthusiasm...
we got lost a couple of times...picked up a cute beagle
for a companion for a while,
might have wandered through a christmas tree farm...
definitely trailblazed through a golf course
and one of us peed in the woods.
someone said it's not an adventure til you get lost.
personally, i feel it's not an adventure
until someone cries
in the fetal position
but those might just be my rules.
♥ this kid singing this song...he also does hallelujah
♥ still 3 more days off to look forward to...and sunshine in the forecast!
