i wasn't going to go out this morning...

September 22, 2018 Arlene Giddings

it sounded windy, it looked like it might rain…
I wasn’t going to go.

I woke up late.
I had a little bit of a headache.
I wasn’t going to go.

But then I did
AND I AM SO HAPPY THAT I DID!

It’s funny. I go for drives
all the time…
and I have gone to this wharf
in Egmont Bay
a million zillion times
but this was the first time
I ever drove down the little
dirt road that takes you
to the lighthouse
and I literally
was so excited
that I am pretty sure
I squealed and
clapped my hands
when I saw the view…
all I could think was
HOW have I never been here before?

and how many other views
on the island
have I never seen before?

and, for the record, it was REALLY windy…
to the point that I was a little afraid to go too close to the edge
of the cliffs because I was literally afraid
of getting blown off…

all in all, a pretty good first day of fall <3

whatcha readin'? {book 25 :: goal 24}

September 17, 2018 Arlene Giddings

I am not going to lie.
I did not expect to like this book.

I was totally prepared to be fully
underwhelmed…
to push my way through it,
to force myself to finish it through gritted teeth
and bitter irritation.

I was
totally wrong.

It was soooooooo good.
Seriously, that many o’s…
soooooooooo good.
The writing, the words…
the way it made me tear up unexpectedly…
the crush I had on Benji…
and also how the author so skillfully
shifted my anger at different characters
and then made it melt away
without me even realizing it.

It made me think a little of one of my
favorite movies…Mystery, Alaska…
again….just the small town hocky fever idea…
but…it made me want to watch it again.

Anyway….read Beartown.
I hear there’s a sequel (*clapping hands excitedly!)
I also have “A Man Called Ove” but it’s still on the “To Be Read” pile…
:)

tuesday truths...

September 4, 2018 Arlene Giddings
  • I have been eating an abundance of cucumber sandwiches
  • Stir fried string beans are my new favorite.
  • I sold 3 watercolor cards...and am SO EXCITED...it always
    kind of blows my mind to think someone wants to pay MONEY
    for something I made...I will never get used to that.
  • I am loving this radio station.
  • I totally and unabashedly sang Rock Me Amadeus in the car today.
    I seriously forgot how frigging awesome that song is.
  • I need to make a new playlist...any suggestions?
