I’ll let The Cure have Fridays.
It’s Saturday and lately I’ve been loving:
Sporting plaid shorts.
Like a boss.
#hotlikeme
Re-upping my hummus stash at the Farmers Market.
Gluttony. It’s no big deal.
Replenishing my Everything Bagel Spice stash. Again, no shame.
Free gifts with purchase!
Getting free stuff in the mail is cool.
I was mid-tossing this “junk mail” when something (?) stopped me. Surprise! Free cash money. $1 baby.
I’ve decided to love the name of this bakery.
It’s just too weird not to love it. Makes me want to randomly pair an adjective, a verb, and a noun and open a shop of my own. Plaid Drink Ball. Cold Vacuum Lemon.
Speaking of Cold Drinks….
Tea + lemon + stevia + hot day
= I’m in love.
Jake Gyllenhaal on a Friday night.
Yes please.
I love my Miller Girls.
And I’d LOVE to hit up the beach or pool today so I’m-a go see about that.
- What are you loving on today? There is so much I am NOT loving today (FOR REAL) so it’s nice to focus on the good.
I’m in love with you and your rosy cheeks!
i want those shorts, cute! and the hummus.. never enough!
<3
You could def sport those shorts.
Love a bit of Jake Gyllenhaal any night!
xx
I’m loving my nephew and niece taking over my set and playing some vibes all kid like and what not.
Love your shorts and wish I could say I could pull that off. You do your thang!
I certainly hope that was captured on film (0:
“I’ve decided to love the name of this bakery…”
How lame is it that I read “bakery” as “barkery?”
Hahahahahahahahaha!
#NotTheWine, I promise! LOL.
PS: To answer your question about Cocktail Sauce… it’s a total waste of calories. I don’t count, but I know. And 5 per serving for sugar free ketchup is so much more acceptable. x x x
I’d read barkery – as baery. #notthewine #foodon brain.
I’d much rather have doggy brain. Or perhaps your entrepreneurial azz is just thinking of a Canine Sophisticate Barkery — gourmet and conscious dog treats for the sophisticated dog lover with money. LOL> would you have a diet section? Lite fair for the portly pups?
PS- SOOOO….what I’m saying is if you like the taste go get some horseradish and put it in the ketchup (if you want) because that is what I do and I love sharing food ideas. And no coctail sauce for me either. Horseradish would make like 6 cals (?) per serving.
Also – now we are in trouble with the ED PC police. They’re gonna come after me for talking about calories.
Love your shorts and the movie!
Also I’ve never tried hummus in my life. Yup! Never!
WHAT.
Greta, please try hummus. (if you want).
But really. Do it.
I am loving (in no particular order they all have equAl love)
Your shorts
Temporary henna tattoos
Dog sitting my neph-pup
Playing with polymer clay
Making bracelets
My cute house
Polymer clay in high school was HUGE for me. Beads like whoa.
I am so so so so so happy about your house love. I now it has been a rough transition.
I love how you focus on the positives!

I love hummus, I’ve never tasted it anything but plain and beetroot hummus. Have you tried that? Delish! And it’s really good for you too – win.
I love that it was Sunday today, because it meant I got to catch up on sleep, rather than if it was during the week. Shalimar had a purrrrrty on my bed last night and I was exhausted!
I love funny names for businesses and products! I especially love Engrish fails.
I love my hot water bottle because I’m cccccold here.
I love your blog
Focusing on the positives is certainly better than the alternative and I try <—TRY to make it my norm but that is not the case always. There is always the subcurrent.
I need to try that beet hummus. Someone needs to roast the beets for me though because I just cannot with the mess.
Me too, I try so hard to be positive. I don’t go ‘over the top fluffy bunnies’ at all, because I like all human beings have my problems, have my ups and downs – but I try and find the positive in all situations and I find that actually made my life better just by itself. Like I’d been seeing my life standing on my head before, and now I was the right way up, that’s all, but it made that big a difference.
) taste) and hummus. I think if you had a thicker style hummus, you could perhaps roughly blend some beetroot in. Or you could ask the person at your hummus stall if they might make some – or you could make it yourself and create Missy’s Marvellous Mmmmmm… HuMMMus lol 
Yes, there’s always the subcurrent. One of the sad things for me is that no matter where I am, I’m always alone inside – always that sadness, fear, self hatred, stuffed down inside, no matter how much I’m smiling and laughing on the outside (pretending to a lot of the time). I will be real with my treatment team, and a few close friends, so that I can not be a party pooper with everyone else. I’m lucky that I have a treatment team that I can whine to as much as I need to. Other people don’t have that, and it must be really difficult to cope and very much isolating when you have problems you can’t really feel able to share.
I think beetroot hummus is awesome because it has two of my favourite things in it – tinned beetroot (because it has that pickledy (yes that’s a word cause I said so
Fiona, that space inside where you feel you are alone — you need to recognize (or think about trying to if you want)that GOD – His Loving Presence is precisely there. Ever present. With you. You are not alone.
Start with that and work from there — you know? And yes, it is a daily – multiple times a day-ly – thing to keep returning to because your mind will take you ALL sorts of places.
I agree with what you said – I know people who have NO ONE that knows about their schtuffs. Except me, I guess. Or very few and it just boggles my minds. I have lived so long “out of the closet” I don’t recall being so secretive about it.
Yet – there are things I still keep secret to a certain extent. As you know.
I don’t really like canned beets though so it would have to be fresh. But as soon as someone makes them for me I will do Hummus in your honor.
PS- “Fluffy Bunnies”
This thing keeps losing my comments to you
La La La wouldn’t that be simply gorgeous?
Third time lucky I hope!
I think you are right – it IS when we feel most alone that He is most with us. I think in these times, I let my mind get so loud that it drowns Him out so I have to remember to stop and breathe, shut it all up so that I can listen again.
I used to think that He had turned His face from me perhaps in shame or disgust or anger or disappointment – it turned out He never had, it was me who had turned away from Him. Which I realised when God found a way to ‘find’ me – through other people, but He found me all the same. He never gives up on us. But yes, it’s a constant thing we have to do – stop and listen, look, because He’s there.
I’ve been out for years too – there is no way we can hide it after a certain point anyway. But I still hung on to some things. I felt a lot of shame, and a lot of fear. I’ve since learnt that I am my harshest critic, bar a few, and those few really don’t matter. It’s hard though. My harshest critics apart from me were my own family – who were downright cruel and belittleing about it all – adding to the shame. And even though I know they are screwed up people, it still was a dagger to my heart because on some level we probably will always seek the respect of our own family, even after we have realised they are not respectable people themselves. Same with certain people online, I’m sure you can well guess the person of subject
I have the sads that you don’t like canned beets, because that tangyness, oh my! I don’t like many things canned, but beets – bring’em on! I guess, there must be a way to make fresh beets taste even better on their own. Or with hummus! Here’s hoping your hummus-maker gets a light bulb moment asap
Off to scribble my thoughts on your next post and then go back to BED since it’s not even 6am yet. Do you get up ridiculously early on the very few days you can SLEEP IN? Gah. xxx
I NEVER get up early.
I am trying so hard to change that.
Owww! You are burnin’ hot in those plaid shorts!
I can’t wait to head out to the farmers market today and get some goodies. There is nothing like stocking up on your faves. That hummus looks lovely. What do you do with the everything bagel spice?
I’d probably pay to see you in those shorts, my imagination is curious. You’d probably mae them look lie haute couture.
A better question is what DONT I do with the Everything bagel spice. Oh my goodness. Love it on wraps (ezeiel) with vegan cream cheeze (tofutti) and maybe turn that into a sandwich with other stuff…on fish, on veg, in salad, on my egg whites, in my hummus…….
Loving the shorts. I’ve got a wrap skirt that I made years ago made with a similar fabric – plaid, but yellow, red, and green. I wear it at least once a week in the summer.
I’m loving reading. Being outside. Taking walks. Grilling. Gardening. You name it, I’m loving it these days.
I’m in a happy mood!
I love that you are loving on errthang. MORE PORCH SWINGING less list-maing. YES!
And…don’t be scared…I now exactly what sirt you are talking about. Blogging is so wonderfully weirdly wonderful.
I am loving this post.
You are wonderful to focus on what to love despite the stuff that’s not so much to love!
I am loving Winter weather where I am…jeans,boots,jumpers…we have such a fast,blink-and-it’s-over winter season, so I enjoy it while it lasts before heat wave conditions return.
I am also loving my cosy doona and having my dog curl up with me while it’s chilly.
My hot coffee to start the day, keep the day going, and end the day,lol, I am addicted when it’s cold weather.
So happy you are finding things to love.xxoo
I need to adopt your attitude when it comes to the cold weather thing…I am lie a demon when it gets below 75. Hence, the Florida love.
You are totally a bossy britches in those shorts and all other attire – love it so much
And gosh girl, yes, agreed. Focusing on the positive is like a total necessity in light of OTHER CRAP oops I switched gears right quick. Okay! So, positives! Living by the beach
The option of taking my laptop to a coffee shop located in a bustling casino tomorrow. I mowed the lawn for the first time. I could go on, actually! 
Big hugs Missy
The thing I say is “Sassy Pants” and you have just blessed me with yet another way to delight in words with Bossy Britches. I owe you.
Coffee-shop in casino. Hello people watching. I have like two posts on your blog to catch up on and I am hoping one has pics.
Ooh glad I saw this
I’ll take more photos tomorrow…sassy pants!
