whatcha readin'? 2020 {book 18::goal 30}

I don’t actually know a lot about anna kendrick
to be honest
but I was drawn to this book
but that cute little title….
scrappy little nobody.

That just sounds like a book I want to read.

And it was good.
I like memoir kind of biography mixed with
a little coming-of-age….
I fully enjoyed reading this.

sunday, sunday...

where have i been?

i have been asking myself that same question.
during summer,
i usually let things slide
over here in the land of
geekiness
but this year,
it seemed to slide right into fall.

when that happens,
i try not to panic.
i think maybe it’s just my brains way
of saying to take a rest
and let yourself be inspired instead,
a gentle reminder to
fill your well - it’s getting empty.

i did take a lot more photos
this summer & fall then i have
in a long time
so that was a nice change.

i also finally went to a book club that
i have been a part of for a long time…
and the book we are doing is the Artist’s Way
which made me very happy.

i have done the book before but
it was years ago and on my own.
this is a fun, different way to do it…
i like being held accountable to some degree
and it’s been interesting to get other views on it
and ideas plus i love the thought of making
connections with other people
outside your own circle…
i kinda think
that’s where the synchronicity seeds can start being planted.

happy sunday! :)

I had a bit of a love/hate
relationship with this book….
actually,
not even really love/hate.
It was more of a meh/hate
relationship.

It was an ok read.
I didn’t love it.
It was amusing in places but
I found it long…it took me a long time to finish it.
I just wasn’t drawn to it.

that time i actually left the island...for another island...

for years
i have been saying
i am going to go back
to cabot trail.

when we were kids
cabot trail was the family vacation
for many years…
4 kids (sometimes more)
2 adults (sometimes more)
jammed in the back of a van
with no windows
and no seatbelts
(sounds more like an abduction, i know
but i like to flair on the side of the dramatic…heehee).

this year, i did it
with the help of my brother and his sweet girlfriend
who let me tag along
with two of the teenage kids
and it was so much fun…
(plus i had my own window AND a seatbelt!)

we had to do a pretty quick trip
but it was so fall and pretty and
was also a great time to spend some concentrated
time with family.

i can’t wait to go again.

(also…one more thing off my 50-in-50 list!)
