I am not sure why
but turtles seemed to take over
my brain when it came time
to create my bullet journal
for March…
i kinda liked that sleepy little guy above…
and the upside down one below…
well, i’m pretty sure that’s a self portrait.
it’s definitely how i feel sometimes…
diet coke, salty crackers, Guns and Roses really loud,
and working on cards for mother’s day.
I called this almost wordless wednesday
because
there has to be some words
to explain where these came from..
a friend recently told me he was
going through some items to
donate/sell
and sent me a photo of
THE FULL SET OF SNOW WHITE AND 7 DWARVES.
(please note the all caps…
that is not a mistake…
that is how I still feel about this…
LIKE I WON THE TOY LOTTERY!)
I felt incredibly lucky that he passed these along to me.
They will be well taken care of…as long as they don’t mind
sharing the spotlight with the smurfs and couple robots…
:)
(also…there were more surprises…
but I’ll save those for another day…)
20 left for Toronto this morning
after a stressful, snowy, slushy 3 am drive
to the airport.
I am always proud of him
for his role in these youth conferences
and happy that he gets to
have these amazing experiences
and meet so many people
and I know it has helped
develop him in ways that
it would have been difficult to
provide here…
but…I miss him.
And I know it’s only a week
and that lots of people go farther away
and for much longer but…
I don’t care.
I still miss him.
Today was a day full of ups and downs…
I am excited about the online courses I am taking/
I am terrified about the online courses I am taking.
A hard decision I made kinda feels right/
the same hard decision makes me a little sad
and not always sure that it was right.
I am happy that spring is coming/
I just remembered my leaky front door.
Up and down.
But instead of ending this post with that…
how about this instead…the other day I ran
into a friend at the grocery store who said
”oh wait! I have something for you!”
and she dug into her bag and found me some smurfs
which ALWAYS makes me happy
but one of them…was smurfette…on a keychain…
and soooooo tiny!!!!
I could barely contain my excitement.
Heeheehee.
(but…truth…i still miss 20).
I know I say this all the time
about Philippa Gregory…
that she is a guilty pleasure of mine,
that I am always a little shy to say
how much I like her writing…
but…I really, really do.
And this book did not disappoint…
not me anyway.
I have seen some poor reviews for it
but I enjoyed it as much as I didn’t like
(despised) James…
I loved the descriptions of the marshy tidelands,
the primitiveness, the barren landscape,
I was on the edge of my seat at one point and
the writing took me away.
And I was very excited to learn that this is
actually the first in a series of books!
I am looking forward to more!

NEXT UP:: CIRCLING THE SUN - PAULA MCLAIN
It was a slow, snowy sunday
at the big orange house.
There were naps taken
and yoga, bullet journalling and
a fair amount of shovelling.
In attempt to “embrace winter”
I took a quick walk to the park
to catch some snowfall photos…
and on the way back,
I decided today was the day
to make a snow angel…
snow angel. not a very good photo. but a snow angel regardless. :)
how naps are taken in the big orange house…
Then when I got back to the house,
I realized my neighbor was out shoveling her driveway
so I went over to say hi and introduce myself
and only realized after the fact
that I was wearing pink plaid pj pants
with pink polka dot rubber boots
and was COMPLETELY covered in snow…
you know…from the snow angel making…
and the very first thing I said to her was
”I lOVE THAT YOU BUILT A SNOWMAN!!”
Sigh.
Happy snowy, sweet, slow Sunday.
