You know what feeling I've been craving amongst the bizarre, angsty, depressing, up and down world we've been living in lately?
Peace. It's as simple and as complicated as that.
Not easy to achieve in some senses, so we've been starting symbolically.

The above wreath was purchased at a local garden center, Mother Earth Gardens, but this is a similar one:
Here are some other variations, since we can never have too many options for peace.
Now, just because I am preaching peace, doesn't mean that I'm all kumbaya about what's happening in our country. Not one bit. That's why I cheered when I heard that on his or her last day of work, a Twitter employee deactivated 45's account. Amazing!

I like to fantasize that this is how I would go down, too. I feel a kinship with said former employee.
I also have always felt The Pioneer Woman was a kindred spirit, and now I have evidence.

I may loathe bananas, but I looooooove ice cream cookie sandwiches. True story. In fact, they may be my dessert of choice (I like that technically you are getting two desserts in one). So, I'll have to venture to the new Seventh Street Truck Park in my sister city in order to test out this giant 15 pound ice cream cookie sandwich. It's filled with Sebastian Joe's ice cream, so there is quality along with quantity. Who is willing to help me with this monster task?
Damn you, Polar Springs marketing team! You sure know how to reel me in to spend too much money on creatively packaged, mystery...water. Plus, these are mini-sized, and who can resist tiny things? The limited edition sodas were released in August, but you can still order variety packs HERE.

Can someone please buy this stunning number and wear it to some fabulous holiday shindig? There should be the promise of romance, perhaps a jazz band, and definitely a stiff drink in a vintage glass.
Some might be drooling in anticipation of the latest Star Wars film, but the release I'm jonesin' for is this:
I, Tonya Trailer #1 (2017) | Movieclips Trailers - YouTube
The drama! The characters! The scrunchies! I can't wait.
Fun fact: I was with my parents at the 1991 U.S. Championships when Tonya Harding became the first American woman to land a triple Axel in performance, but I was in my crabby pre-teen years and missed it because I was reading a book and refusing to watch. Luckily, there is YouTube and I can finally see the magic (starts around :55 - I keep trying to find myself in the crowd, but it whizzes by too fast).

Most of us have a love/hate relationship with Facebook and UPS, but its only love for both of them when it comes to THIS.

Dogs are a cure-all, no? You know what else clears the head and opens the heart? Getting to see our home in the greater scheme of things (thanks to NASA's Osiris-Rex spacecraft). Weird to think about what you might have been doing at the moment this picture was taken. Hello down there!

I finished a really lovely book called Wonder by R.J. Palacio.
It has been embraced as essential curriculum for middle school aged kids, but it is just as an appropriate read for us older folks. One quote that stood out to me:
“If you have a choice between being right and being kind, choose kind."
