yeah....there's a reason i was the weird kid in school...

May 3, 2018 Arlene Giddings

because I do things like this.

I was talking to a friend at work
about movies
and he had just seen the new Avengers movie
and I mentioned that
I would like to watch all the superhero movies
and he told me
that there are lists online
that will give you the order to watch them in
by timeline
rather than by movie release date
and I got all excited and thought
NEW PROJECT!
and then thought
ohhhhhh I CAN TRACK IT!
and came home and googled a list
(although I now realize there is more than one list out there
so I feel a little ill thinking what if this is wrong but
anyway...)
and yeah...
this is why i was the weird kid in school.

well...this kind of thing
and the fact that I cried every day
until about grade 8
oh...
and there was the time I built a
spaceship out of a cardboard box
in my bedroom
when I was like....12....

but anyway...

oh...and if you haven't watched this show,
you totally should. 
it's so good!
(i love yang.  she will always be yang to me).

tuesday truths...

May 1, 2018 Arlene Giddings

******
after using the same format
in my bullet journal for about the
past two years,
i have decided to make a change.
i need it to be
less formal
and more spur-of-the-moment.
it's a work in progress.
i'm still not really sure what i want to do with it
but the photo above is my
May cover page...
which i was pretty happy with....
because...

******
i love lilac season!
and it's almost here!!
the little lilac bush i planted
in the backyard last summer
has some bright green little buds on it
so yay!
i didn't kill it!
(yet)

******
i love the little signs of spring...
lighter jackets,
open windows (even if only for a short period of time),
sunshine waking me up
in the morning
and the day staying brighter
for so much longer...
i feel like i can breathe again.

whatcha readin'? {2018::book 11 - goal 24)

April 30, 2018 Arlene Giddings

I pretty much started and finished this book
in a 24 hour time period.
It was one of those fast paced gotta-know-what-happens books.

I especially enjoyed the fairy tale aspects
and the way it felt like she captured the way a child
might think.

It was both dark and haunting...and, yet unexpectedly hopeful.

getting into the spring of things...

April 28, 2018 Arlene Giddings

and suddenly,
it's spring.

the sun is shining,
the ice is melting
and my boots squish ankle deep
in mud
and i couldn't be happier.

spring is a game changer.

it's a whole new mindset.

it's a release
a reprieve
a cure for the winter blues
that you sometimes had
panic attacks
thinking would never come...
and then
one day you woke up
and it was here.

friday i'm in love....

April 27, 2018 Arlene Giddings

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. 

In friday i'm in love Tags lots of links, she loves to link, friday!
