Here for a good time... creating beautiful things, learning about whatever floats my boat, and thriving in the chaos of it all!

Join me on this journey of enlightenment, reflection, and joy!

This last Tuesday was one of the worst workdays I’ve had in a long, long time. Not one specific terrible thing happened, but the overall day was just ugh, awful.

But then I got home and thank goodness I got on Facebook, because I found out that once again, I could get photos of the Aurora Borealis from my hometown, in Arkansas.

This time was even more amazing than last year, they were absolutely visible to the naked eye. I’m so glad I got out and got some photos, it made the day a thousand times better.

I’d like to apologize for my post about how much I hate sourdough bread. I posted it as a funny thing, but it goes directly against what I want this page to be about…happiness and joy.

So…here’s something I LOVE: Cantaloupe. To me, a good, ripe cantaloupe is probably the most delicious thing on earth.

What do you love? What is your most favorite thing? I want to know!
And NO JUDGING ALLOWED. ❤️

Here’s the hill I will die on…
Sourdough bread is straight TRASH.
Anybody wanna be on my side for this one? 😂😂😂

I would rather never eat bread again for the whole rest of my life than eat another piece of sourdough bread.

I may (possibly) have strong feelings about this topic. 💁🏻‍♀️

The people that chose CORNBREAD on the last post are correct.
I mean, I love biscuits (with jam, jelly, honey, syrup-Griffin’s 😉, gravy -white or chocolate, butter, whatever) but cornbread-white corn meal, no sugar, baked in a cast iron skillet, with a decent portion of cold butter, that just can’t be beat. 😋😋😋
This is my subjective opinion, and you can’t change my mind! 😂

If you *had* to choose between:
1) the PERFECT biscuit or
2) the PERFECT piece of cornbread…
Which are you choosing???

I simply must know!

(And for the purpose of this poll, the PERFECT biscuit/cornbread is whatever YOUR imagining of perfect is. 😬)

Hey friends! I haven’t gone anywhere, or forgotten about this page.
But I have been doing lots of thinking about the direction I want to go. I want to say what I want to say…without caring what people I know in real life think about what I’m saying.
I don’t want to hold myself back for fear of being improper.
I want this to be a safe, positive space for EVERYONE.
I want to share silly stories and embarrassing moments.
I want this to be a place to share with your friends so we can grow together.
We’re gonna make mistakes, we’re gonna make progress, we’re gonna love one another.
But most importantly, we’re gonna have fun.
And so, for no reason at all, is a photo of the only pancake syrup you should ever own.
You’re welcome. ☺️

Our first stop in Glacier National Park. This beautiful lake with a tiny little island in it. Goose Island. We saw no geese. 🪿 😬
Glacier was kind of like Vegas, in that everything is SO BIG it’s hard to comprehend.
Glacier was unlike Vegas, in that there was something breathtaking no matter where you looked.

Heeeeeeyyyy, it’s Music Monday!
What are you listening to these days?
What’s your favorite song of all time?
What’s the best concert you ever went to?
What’s your craziest music related memory?

Tell me all the things!!!! 😃

I’m currently obsessing over Yungblud.
Love his face, love his voice, love his songs, love his joyful personality.
Can’t beat it! 🖤🖤🖤
Here is the cover art of his newest album. ☺️

I’ve been trying to come up with a category for Saturdays allllll day today, and I just can’t decide on one.

Shortcut Saturday? Silly Saturday? Salacious Saturday? 😂

What should it be????

…Think I’ll go with SURPRISE!!!! Saturday.
Can be about a time you threw a party for someone, or someone threw a party for you. Or even new information that was a total surprise 😮 to you.

Whatcha got?

My surprise of the day (that I’ve already shared on my personal page 😬) is that I went out to count watermelons-yes 1.5 months after my watermelons should have been harvested, I have at least 7 watermelon babies doing their best to grow big and strong-I found an almost ripe cantaloupe and another fully ripe one that popped off the vine as soon as I touched it. 😂

Guess tomorrow I’ll see if it’s any good. 😊

Tell me a good surprise from your life, I’d love to hear it!

Finally Friday! And this is pretty much how I feel about how this week went.

However, since I really want this to be a positive space, I’m going to share the highlight of my week, and I hope you share yours as well. 😊

Yesterday for lunch, I went to Chili’s, and it was *perfect*. 😋

(Unsweet tea (no lemon), chips and salsa as an appetizer, and the Old Timer with cheese…black bean patty, American cheese, no tomato, extra pickle; yes, fries are fine for the side.)

Your turn!

Soooo, it’s Thursday. We’ve almost made it through another week.
And we’re here for our very first Traditions/Traditional Thursday. (Subject to change, but we’re going with it this week. 😬)

I’m big on traditions. I’m big on having something to look forward to at set times. I’m big on enjoying those times and moments with family and friends.

If I had to choose one single tradition that is MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME, I’m gonna have to go with trick-or-treating/dressing up for Halloween/passing out candy.

When I moved back into my childhood home 15 years ago, one of the things I was most excited about was knowing how many trick-or-treaters I was likely to get each year. And so far, only one year has been a little disappointing in the number. I regularly have over 350 treaters and I love changing things up from year to year. I’m already excited about this year (and next for that matter, since I have my costume decided 💁🏻‍♀️)!

Bring on October 31, I’m ready!

Are you a tradition lover? What is your favorite? Doesn’t have to be a holiday, just something you look forward to every year/month/etc. 😊

Here’s a pic of me last year at our family and friend Halloween party! ❤️

This world isn’t always easy to understand. Bad things happen every day. I wish we could truly live in a world of sunshine and rainbows and unicorns, but we don’t.
We have to make the best of what we have, and do whatever we can to fill the world with light and love. We just have to.

We’re gonna call this Wellness Wednesday.

I’d love to hear the things you do for yourself, so you are able to spread joy to those around you. Do you meditate, read, paint, do needlework, write, exercise? How do YOU take care of YOU???

For example, tonight I went to a little painting “class” and made this super cute door hanger. It was relaxing, I was able to visit with my sister-in-law as well as some friends, and it was for a good cause. (Don’t ask me what cause, because I can’t remember for sure. 😬)
