favorites or tricking myself to write

Y’all I’m so distracted.
Between the construction and a house full of people I just don’t stop and do any of my normal things.
You know it’s serious when I’m over here like, “I’m going to need you to get it together.” to my own damn self. I keep recognizing that I need to, but don’t quite seem to get around to doing it.

You hear about the glorification of busy…I’m not there. I’m not enthusiastically embracing being busy. I am simply more busy than I’ve been in a while. And the kind of busy that isn’t actually accomplishing much, you know?
Toddler in the house keeps us all on our toes.

I’m making the time to write today.
Of course I sit with my fingertips on the keyboard and wait…where are the words?
My brain is simultaneously empty and full.
Full of ‘stuff’. Empty of words.
In the hopes of jumpstarting the writing, I’m tricking myself by doing a random favorites list and inviting y’all to join me.

  1. Oooh….you know I’m a sucker for favorites!Cacio e pepe!! Yes. Vacation? So many….hawaii? Don’t watch discovery channel😞 dolls for sure! Under eye concealer!!! Browse at Barnes and Noble! Kittens!! This week I’ll go with Adele version of a Feel my Love, children’s show Romper room! Stars in the sky…though I’m watching Away on Netflix. So that could change soon!

    • You inspired me to try a favorites post. I predict I’ll become an addict 😉
      Discovery channel is hit or miss for me, I just happen to love archeology and anthropology and though its sensationalized for TV, I enjoy it.
      Bookstore browsing is in my top 3 all time fave things!
      Now I’m going to go listen to Adele…
      And try to write more.
      Thanks for playing! ❤
