mermaids
where have i been when i haven't been here....
honestly….i am not sure.
i guess we had a late spring
and now that it’s warming up out
i
just
want
to
be
outside…
all the damn time.
i have been cutting the grass
(with the new-to-me lawn mower that I bought all by myself)
and picking at yardwork…
taking the dog for long walks on trails
i have never been down before….
eating sundaes, watching sunsets, reading books on the deck.
i have done a little exploring,
taken some photos but didn’t feel like uploading anything until tonight…
i feel like creatively
i have been stalled…i just wasn’t feeling it….
which i don’t really panic about anymore
because i know it will come back,
it always comes back.
and sure enough, tonight
i found myself getting excited about editing the
photos that have been on my camera for too long…
i am thinking about pulling out the watercolors,
about how to build a giant cardboard castle in my backyard,
wondering if i could do a kid’s art class on saturdays,
thinking about how to build mushrooms and
trying to remember where i put the plans for the robot?
i knew it would come back.
it always comes back.

friday i'm in love...
♥ with getting back outside again…sometimes with a pug on a leash,
sometimes in polka dot rain boots and a winter hat
but almost always with a camera of some kind…
this is where I am always happy.
♥ this trailer just gave me goosebumps. :)
♥ and this one….
♥ i am trying to put my phone down more often
so this article on binge reading struck me….
♥ i get a lot of headaches…and no, that is not my friday i’m in love…
but i started thinking that it was related to my neck and maybe
either how i am sleeping (or not sleeping as the case often is)
and the amount of time i spend on a computer…so i tried some yoga
for neck and shoulders and i honestly cannot believe the difference
it has made. i had no idea that the trapezius muscle could actually
be the root cause of my headaches…
♥ if you know me, you know i love ice cream…almost as much as i love fridays!
whatcha readin'? 2019 {book 10::goal 25}
I debated on how many hearts
to give this book.
The writing was pretty good but,
occasionally, in places,
it felt forced…
like…too much…
it reminded me of how I loved books like
VC Andrews and SE Hinton when I was a teenager
but, now, the writing makes me
cringe
just a little…
it’s just trying a tiny bit too hard.
But…the story totally carried me along
and held me til the end.
In the end, I gave it
4 ♥’s out of 5 ♥’s

whatcha readin'? 2019 {book 9::goal 25}
Wow.
This book.
This book broke my heart
into a million jagged little pieces
and then stomped all over them
with big black combat boots
and then
melted it all back together again
and left me a
jumbled crying mess.
I fell in love with this book…
the story, the intensity, the brutal descriptions
contrasting so sharply against the
tender moments….
Read this one.
(and when I rated it in the log I keep on my phone,
I rated it with five broken hearts).
5 out of 5 ♥♥♥♥♥'s
