the little things – marginalia and such

the view from Sunday: outings and adulting

It’s been a good weekend, which feels like a good change. I did some adult things and some silly things, including:

Opening a secondary savings account for experiences and thrills, rather than the big life events.
Brunch at ikea, because pancakes and things. Not all of which were entirely necessary, but I can handle it.
Cleaning. Lots of cleaning.
Writing. And worrying about said writing.
Running. Yes, I did it again 🙂
Reading trashy reads, because they are the best.

Now, we have ginger snaps

Old plants in new “pots” (really a mug)

And kitties begging for treats

5 things: fall edition

When I think of fall, I think of autumn hues and new things to write. Of course, Fall means NaNoWriMo and all things writing. I’m still debating whether that will mean a new story or a rebellious revision, but the season of the pen is among us!

Bold red lips (or very pale nudes) are also a big fall factor for me, as well as mustard-colored everything (starting with a brand new cardigan… because, hello, librarian here). A new notebook and some new scents round off my musts, and while pumpkin is the scent du jour for most this season, I find that ikea vanilla candles always send me to my happy place.
