friday i'm in love...

♥ with how pugsley always finds
the perfect patch of sunlight
to bask in….

♥ coveting this blanket….so pretty

♥ they name their snowplows in scotland

♥ yep. pretty much.

♥ this made me laugh out loud.

♥ a quiet friday off…no plans, nowhere to be
and nowhere to go

looking forward to a
quiet night with blankets,
popcorn, diet coke and a movie
or two.

talk of clusters and covid,
testing and times
is making me feel tired
and a little bit anxious…
time to pull the plug on
social media for the night
and rest my brain.

Happy Friday.
xo

things i should not admit out loud....

but will anyway…

So…if you know me,
you know I love Sesame Street
with every vein and ventricle
in my heart…

And you probably know
I desperately want the
Sesame Street lego set
(seriously…LOOK AT IT!!!)

And if you know that much about me,
you probably know that I
slightly…frugal.
I have a hard time spending
money on…things…
like…in a weird way.

I have been trying to be healthier
(I promise, there is a connection here,
I didn’t just randomly change subjects)
so I decided that I would kill two birds
with one stone
(obviously I would never kill one bird
much less two, my aim is not that great!)

I’m getting way off track.

So…I set some rules…
tracking food - 2 points
10000 steps - 2 points
yoga - 2 points…
you get the idea.

Then…I just need 177 points
AND THE SESAME STREET LEGO
WILL BE MINE!!! heh.

So….because I like sticker charts
and visual reminders and because
i am apparently six….
I made this.

I ALREADY HAVE FOUR POINTS!!
:) :) :)

and zero dignity.
heh.

tuesday truths....

the truth is
i find february hard…
long and slow and tedious.

i try to fill my days
and nights with books
and movies and music…
things that will inspire me,
filling the well if you read artist way…

i try to accept that
this
is the perfect time
to hibernate,
rejuvenate,
restore, renew, rest…
but i start to get
itchy feet…
i want to get out and about again.

i have to remind myself
that this will pass.
that the days will get longer.
and warmer.

and that i should take a cue
from finnegan
and just catnap
while i can…
and wherever i want. :)

whatcha readin'? 2021 {goal 35 - book 3}

I can’t lie.
I completely struggled
with this book.
I am not sure why…I have read
Toni Morrison before.
I felt like my brain was thick and obtuse
and the words just would not
connect for me.
I’m 100% that it was not the fault of the book
but fully that of the reader, in this case, being me…
possibly lack of understanding on my side…
of phrases, of wording…
I just really struggled to grasp
what was going on
and who was who
and what things required
attention and importance.

I struggle to give it a rating
as I honestly feel the issue with me
and not the actual book

NEXT UP:: THE 18TH ABDUCTION - JAMES PATTERSON

♥friday i'm in love....♥

happy sunny friday. :)
i thought today was going to be stormy
so i worked instead of taking my adventure day…
and psych!
it was a beautiful, sunny day.
sigh.

and then, i thought
that after work,
i would quick clean the house and vacuum
and cook supper and be all productive.

instead,
i have watched countless videos
on how to build a front step,
how to make my own window trim,
googled the cost of an air nailer,
watched movie trailers,
signed up for Crave/HBO
so i can watch all of game of thrones
and ate pringles.

THINGS I AM CRUSHING ON:

♥ i finally broke down and got a hair cut.
my favorite hairdresser closed up shop
a while ago and i haven’t gotten a hair cut since…
so yesterday, i bit the bullet and went.
it was fun to explain to a stranger
what exactly is going on with my hair
as far as the purple goes.
she seemed very…perplexed
and said that she would brainstorm
with another hairdresser
before my next appointment
to come up with an action plan.
heeheehee.
i am that person. the person that
requires an action plan to be put in place.
and she had to take like an inch off the length
which made me a little bit sad.
but it had to be done.
it’s part of the action plan.

heh.

♥ if you follow me on FB or instagram,
then you have already been bombarded
with photos of MY NEW ASTRONAUT BOOTS
which came on the same day that the
Perseverance rover landed on Mars. :)

i am in love with these boots.

♥ I listened to this amazing girl talk
on the Rich Roll podcast
and she blew my mind.
so young and already
has done so much…
and she sounds adorable
and brilliant and funny and i
want to be her friend.

♥ i know i told you i downloaded
TikTok and that i am hooked…
well, i have decided to try different things
that i have seen on it…the first being this foundation
powder from L’oreal called Infallible…
and i really liked it! :)

next up on the TikTok list…
make-at-home caramel popcorn!!

♥ the new foo fighters

♥ ummmm…five seasons of the muppet show
streaming on disney plus? YES PLEASE!

♥ yoga with this cat…
right after this photo was taken
he rudely attacked my head
and i called him a bad name.

happy friday!!
i hope yours was supercadulastical.

(on fridays, you can just make up
your words.
that’s a rule, i think.)
