friday i'm in love.... ♥

October 14, 2022 Arlene Giddings

I had planned to have a
friday adventure
today but then a
half-headache
(which is an annoying headache
but not bad enough to render me useless
if you are wondering about my
definitions…a frigging rotten headache
really ruins my day…a migraine incapacitates me)

So instead,
I gave the big orange house
a much needed cleaning
and then spent some time
working on some new plans…
health-wise and creatively.

(The irony that I am eating 3 large
sugar coated gumdrops while writing
this is NOT lost on me…heh)

But I am thinking about making some
small changes to my lifestyle
and possibly some large ones…
like maybe joining a gym…
and maybe finally creating a calendar
with some doodles to sell…

I like fall.
It makes me feel
inspired….
even on days I have
half a headache.
:)

FRIDAY I AM LOVING:

♥ this blog post definitely made me wonder. There were a lot of “oh…that is so me moments while reading it.
♥ my glow in the dark skeleton pjs
♥ this series….though not gonna lie (ironic given the name of the series….heh)…but it’s a little bit soft core porn-ish. Just a warning. :)
♥ heeheehee….as I become somewhat jaded about dating apps (they were so fun and shiny in the beginning) THIS made me laugh out loud. Yes for wearing red.
♥ Love this guy’s channel

Happy Friday….I hope it’s fantastic, just like you. ♥

almost totally wordless wednesday...but with a few words...

November 24, 2021 Arlene Giddings

catching up on the huge number of photos
I took this summer and fall…
so will be posting randoms
here and there
as I try to make my way
back to this page…

also…
I think my poor old faithful computer
might be breathing his last breath.

He’s been with me for
about 12 years and has been
a very diligent, hard worker
so I really, really can’t complain.

But it is going to make me very sad.

So now I am in the market for
a new computer…or a laptop…
but the choices,
sweet mother of gawd
there are so many choices
and I have mentioned that I am not
good at choices?
It’s why I can’t eat at Subway
even though I love Subway.
Heh. I wish I was kidding.
I’m not.

Ok. Sorry.
This was not a very
wordless
wednesday.
I’ll try better next week.
:)

tuesday truths

October 22, 2019 Arlene Giddings

i love fall.

i really do.
the brilliance of the trees,
the crunch under my feet
of leaves and twigs
snapping and crackling…
the smell of wood smoke in the air
and feeling like
after the go-go-go
panicked frenzy to enjoy
EVERY FRIGGING SECOND OF SUMMER
while it’s here,
now
i can start
to slow down….

now
i start to give myself permission
to climb into bed
with a mountain
of fuzzy blankets,
some hot chocolate,
and a pile of books….

fall is movies and stories and blanket forts,
trail hikes, if i feel like it, and messy hair
(cause my hat will cover it anyway),
vanilla scented candles,
cinnamon apples, brown sugar on toast…
big thick fuzzy socks (but never in bed!)
and pajamas with hoods…

fall is cozy.

i love summer.
summer is exciting and exhilarating
and on a deadline
and you can’t waste a second
cause if you blink,
it’s gone.

but fall…
fall is kinda like my mom.
Comforting and sweet and
always makes me feel better.

winter, on the other hand…well….
i kinda hate that guy.
Heh.
