a quiet kinda halloween-y day...

It’s been a quiet, windy and rainy Halloween Sunday.
I have spent the day decluttering
and tidying,
adding songs to my newly made fall playlist,
drinking chai tea
and stealing bits and pieces
of the halloween candy…
making lists and
plans for November…
that include
attempting to wear
real clothes
during the day
instead of my parade of pjs
and
maybe a 30 day yoga challenge.

October was a great month.
The weather was incredible….
but that meant I had a hard time staying home…
I didn’t want to miss a second of
the fall colors
and remaining daylight hours…
but today I settled back into
the idea of home…
of coziness and books and
maybe starting some new cards
and paintings…

Inktober also ended today….
I will be honest, I am a little sad to see it go.
I really enjoyed it this year,
especially focusing on little geek girl
every day…
I’m not sure what November will bring.
People have asked about
what will happen with the daily little geek girl doodles
but I’m uncertain…
and also toying with the idea of
writing group again
and maybe challenging myself that way…

I also have to do some hard core reading
if I want to reach my goal of 35 books this year…

Happy Halloween to you…
stay safe but EAT ALL THE CANDY.
:)

whatcha readin' {goal 35::book 11}

I did not expect to love this book…
or even like this book
but I totally LOVED this book.

It was so interesting!
and heartbreaking.
and exhilarating!
and sad.
and exciting!

Read it. I heard people say
that they loved the movie
and it was ok
but for me, it did not match the book…
but there is so much in the book
that you couldn’t really
portray in the movie
without making it a different kind of movie,
I think.

whatcha readin' {goal 35::book 10}

So, I can’t lie.
This is not my usual kind of book.

It was given to me
either as part of a trade
or from the sweet woman
down the street
who randomly gave me
a laundry basket full of books.

It was cute and quick,
a relaxing sweet read…
and sometimes,
that is exactly what you need.

friday i'm in love

I know it has been a minute since I have been here.
I had a crazy good summer, that I did take lots of photos of
but I found it hard to find the time to sit down
and write anything…

Now that fall is officially here,
I feel like the creative side of me
is stirring again…
and it’s a good feeling.
♥

THINGS I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW::

♥ my daughter moved home recently for a little bit
and i couldn’t be happier. ♥♥♥

♥ spending whole days parked by the water
reading, journalling, watching the waves crash….

♥ love on the spectrum

♥ watching videos about people
living and traveling in their jeeps
makes me think…also
i would like a drone.

♥ picked up the new bella grace magazine
and can’t wait to read it

♥ dirt roads. :)

whatcha readin'? {goal 35::book 9}

I loved this book.

I actually had no idea that
it was part of a trilogy until just now.

(and the truth is
I have waiting so long to write these reviews
that I am going to find it a bit of a struggle now…
hahaha. My memory is always faulty
after finishing a book…)
