My Own Little World

What’s bringing you happiness this week? For me, it’s:

The smell outside after rain (we’ve needed rain so badly)

The freckles on my cheeks are making their summer appearance

New records and dancing in the kitchen

My new Miffy strap I have hanging on my favorite canvas totebag

Petting every neighborhood cat during my evening walk

Your turn! Tell me what’s lighting you up this week 🤍

What brought me happiness this week:

· My kids. Being divorced and not seeing my kids everyday is a double edged fucking sword. It's good to have more time to myself, but I miss them loads. So seeing them again and spending time with them brings me extra happiness.

· My boyfriend. I feel blessed to have met him every single day. Again, double edged sword because long distance fucking SUCKS. But he's such a steady constant even though we don't see each other often. He's still one of the reasons I enjoy life a bit more than I used to and I have a little more hope for the future (feel free to throw up).

· The weather. More sunshine. It does wonders. Even though warm...

· There is probably more. But brain is tired and migraine -y so I'll leave it at this.

Happy sprinkles this week:

✨ since Monday was Memorial Day my husband had the day off work and we took our kids for a train ride. There was a man on the train and I so so badly wanted to take a picture of his profile. He had that Roger from 101 Dalmatians profile. Just the longest. straightest nose. Ichabod Crane nose. I wanted to be like "respectfully sir your facial proportions are divine." but I did not.

✨ the carnival was in town this week so we went. The kids had a blast riding the rides, suckered their dad into buying them 3D printed Charizards (I'm sooo over 3D printed shit but ugh they were so happy about them), I lost my phone in the first ten minutes but luckily we found it quick, and to finish it off we bought funnel cake that I brought home and promptly covered with an obscene amount of extra powdered sugar.

✨ I changed the bedsheets and it was my favorite sets turn in the rotation. I picked them up at Ross for like $12 about a year ago and I knew I needed them the moment I saw them because I thought to myself "those are the kind of sheets Blanche Devereaux would have on her bed". It's always an extra good week when it's their turn.

✨ My husband bought me one of my wishlist Pokemon cards 😭💕 angy boi Charmander my beloved.

✨ My kids have been obsessed the last three days with singing songs about macaroni and cheese. Neither of them like macaroni and cheese. Straight up refuse to eat it, period. I'm confused as hell but they're so cute it doesn't even matter.

💫I was able to continue doing some organizing in our spare bedroom~ it’s come a long way from the level of disarray it was in~

💫Went to the Edgar Allen Poe Speakeasy with my bestie and enjoyed a night of readings and mocktail versions of the drinks that were featured~ The one drink that surprised me the most was one that had coffee in it. I cannot stand coffee but here I am still thinking about that drink 🤣
