i loved this book.
i don’t really know what else
i can say
except…
i loved it (with great enthusiasm).
she is funny and sad,
cautious and bold…
definitely worth your time.
it’ll make you laugh
(but, not gonna lie, it might make you cry, too….)
5 out of 5 ♥♥♥♥♥'s
NEXT UP: EDUCATED - TARA WESTOVER
♥ fall leaves
♥ beautiful light in the morning and the view from my work window
(well…except for that day it SNOWED in OCTOBER. that was not beautiful. it was blech.)
♥ getting home to find an adorable halloween card from your bestie in your mailbox instead of
the constant barrage of “vote for me” fliers…
♥ and also the view from my “work” window at home…
(where i paint my cards and doodle my doodles).
i love love love that birch tree.
♥ that my girl posted this video for me the other night…
i was feeling a little down (she didn’t even know)…
and this totally made my night.
and….not going to lie…yeah, i LOVE prince
and that she chose that song for me
but the fact that she misses me…that was the part that
kind of made me cry… ♥♥♥♥♥
♥ the tips of my fingers have been cracking and peeling
which is totally weird and annoying…i have never had
had this happen before (and no…this is not my Friday-love, haha)
but i tried this stuff AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING so far…
fingers crossed…(hahaha. see what I did there…)
♥ i love this radio station…the music is great and the
announcers are not annoying which is usually my
biggest pet peeve with radio stations but this guy
is my total favorite….he toys with people that call in
and makes me laugh out loud…and…i like to laugh out loud.
♥ this show. have i already told you about this show?
i apologize if i did. But seriously….IT IS SO GOOD…
dark humor, brilliant writing and THERE ARE PUPPETS.
not going to lie…i have been googling “how to make a puppet”
since watching it. :)
***
i am not going to lie…
i absolutely love these giant crows.
i can’t remember the last time
i saw a piece of art that
stopped me in my tracks
and filled me with such
strong emotion….
with such strong
sadness.
and they are made out of tires.
and yet,
so
much
feeling.
wow.
you can read more about them here…
***
our cat, casey, had 2 kittens.
no photos yet,
because,
well…really…they aren’t all that cute.
they just look like mice that
can’t open their eyes.
***
annnnd i know i can’t keep them…
we already have 2 cats that kind of drive me crazy
but
i really want to keep them
and name them
ziggy stardust
and
major tom.
***
mackintosh toffee
and
an after eight bar
eaten at the same time
is a delicious combination.
i did not come up with this
on my own
but now
i can’t stop eating it…
(even though i might have
appeared to be grossed out by
the combination
when he suggested it…heh)
***
oh…and…i have writing group
on saturday…
and I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ONE WORD
ON THAT STORY
SINCE LAST SPRING.
sigh.
which might be a good reason
for me to commit to
nanowrimo
in november….
(once i get through in
inktober in october…heh)
this kid…
i went back and read old blog posts
written on earlier birthdays…
every year, I am surprised by his age, it seems…
every year, I am like…
how can this be?
how can he be nine? ten? 12?
17?
18?
19.
really?
nineteen.
old enough to go places he wasn’t before,
old enough to drink…
it boggles my mind.
happy birthday, bighead.
every year, I am also so happy
that you are who you are…
independent, strong minded, responsible
and so funny, creative and original…
you’ll be just fine as a grown-up, I think…
but I’ll always win in an arm wrestle.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
so this is likely going to be a post
with a lot of random things
that i am currently loving
but in no particular order
because my plan
WAS to do a fall list
but wanted to have some fall photos
to go with that
but i don’t have any yet
because my plan is to go out with the camera tomorrow
(and when i say camera, i mean poor little back up camera
because my 70D broke last weekend which is causing me
great sadness…but that sad story does not belong on a
friday i’m in love list…) and
so there will be some random shots thrown in to this post
because…well…that’s what i do…
including this photo
that i love in a hundred different ways
because i found this little bit of broken poetry
unexpectedly
while climbing
onto the back of a bench
when taking maternity photos
and immediately loved it.
i know.
weird things make me immensely happy.
so anyway!
on with the list of random things i am loving today.
♥ chicken burgers. I know…that’s a big stretch for me
from my usual chicken fingers but…I’m on a bit of a
chicken burger binge. Hahaha. Last week it was chicken fricot,
next week I plan to be on a grilled cheese kick.
High-brow culinary tastes, I know. :)
♥ this show. How did I not know about this show?
I loved the pilot…I REALLY hope it keeps going.
♥ i loved this…such a great idea…somehow i suspect it wouldn’t be the
same today…
♥ i can’t even tell you HOW MUCH I AGREE WITH THIS. Play is
incredibly important (and honestly, not just for kids…for grown ups, too).
♥ maybe I’m hungry…there seem to be a lot of posts about food…
but…..this is a gift I would write a thank you note for. :)
♥ working on some new cards…a little bit of fall…a little bit of anne & diana…
♥ this guy is coming to moncton!
♥ i was invited to trivia last night at a local restaurant/bar.
Normally, if I am already in my pjs, well, I’m pretty much done
for the night but I actually changed back into real person clothes
and went out AND I AM SO GLAD I DID. I suck at trivia but the
caesars were good. Oh! And the company, heeheehee!
♥ i started this course a couple of weeks ago and am really enjoying it.
This week they are talking about meditation and I can’t wait! :)
♥ this made me laugh…and think.
♥ this made me mad…and cry…and curse…and cheer…and think.
♥ my 18 year old has me totally hooked on this song…
