Sunday Happy

January 24, 2016 Colleen Stem

Our adventure so far has been pretty freaking fantastic. We have driven all over the mid west coast of the Irish country side (driving on the left.. so weird, but so cool) Walked the cliffs of Mohr, collected seashells on the ocean, visited a few little cute as hell towns, talked politics and agriculture over tea for hours with our Airbnb hosts, and have eaten a fair share of cabbage (nothing changed there). The only complaint that I have is that I am getting a wee bit sick and I am blowing snot like its my job.(cause you needed to know that)  Oh, and I have been getting like 4 hours of sleep a night. I can't seem to shake the jet lag. (so if  I sound like I am rambling, I probably am)

The internet where we have been staying is not very strong. It takes a long time for a page to download and there is no streaming, which I though was going to be a problem, but honestly, I have quite enjoyed. It has been so nice to unplug from everything (no i phones, and one in a great while check the social media stuff and only texting when we need to check in). There was even a point in our trip that I was so absorbed in my surrounding and the beauty of it all that I completely forgot to take pictures. I alway have my camera on me, but I also have realized that sometimes its nice to just see and experience without trying to capture. (I am a little sad that I missed taking pictures of some of the stuff…I will next time I am here.) And at the moment, or really until I get  home to my computer, all my pictures are stuck on memory cards, which is not a bad thing  because it will give me so much pleasure to look through photos when I do get them on the computer  So until then… The one picture I did manage to download is from the plan on over here. I might not like to fly, but the view….. can't complain too much.

So I could go on and on, but I am not going to. We are getting ready to head out for the day in search of castles and dolphins.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Sunday Happy

September 6, 2015 Colleen Stem

The official, unofficial, last weekend of summer. A little sad, but not really, cause I am super pumped for fall. I have my sweaters unpacked, my knitting started, and am looking forward to eating nothing but apples and pumpkins for a while. I am ready.

Now to get through the next few days of close to 90 degree weather. (Globaly warming... you suck!)

This past week of summer has been great. We have managed to get a lot of work crap done, but also had time to do a little river hopping, have a sleep over with a few littles, and go to a family gathering. The mr, being the most bestest guy, even hand mowed out little yard so we can actually sit outside without being surrounded by 3 ft tall weeds and hay. He is so nice. We did get a chance to pick a few apples from our community garden (not sure of the variety, but they are so good!) and we played on one of the coolest,most dangerous, playgrounds around here. All in all, not a bad way to leave the summer behind.

And now it's Sunday and I am feeling good. Going to sit around and read, knit, garden, and drink so much coffee. And best part? Tomorrow is Labor Day! Three day WEEKEND!!! so I will probably make tonight a party night and stay up past 9:30 (yes, I am an old lady) and  binge watch the rest of season 1 of Playing House (fucking fantastic show) before it goes away and I don't get a chance.

Lofty goals, but I think I can manage. 

So how about you? Is this a three day weekend for you as well? Hopefully so and hopefully you are spending it doing you, and having fun, relaxing and remembering not to labor or at least not labor to hard.

Some internet stuff for you to peruse if you want. 

-Another dream home/studio/camper. Why don't I live here?

-Because I am support to live here! (This is the pretty much perfect in every way)

-Got 230K? If you do, you can buy a whole Spanish Village

-An oh so lovely home

-Writing in trees looks cool, but not something I would want to of by hand.

-Inspiration from 5 Super Organized Garages… If only

-Are you a stinky farter? Check these out! (hahaha)

-Which Hogwarts House Do You Belong In? Your Cooking Style Will Tell. I am a Ravenclaw 

-So I don't have a baby or one on the way, but when/if I ever do, I want this for baby.

-Why Are We Drawn To Heirloom Fruits And Veggies? 

-A carrot cake that tastes like carrot. Because it should.

 

And some pictures from the past week.
