things i'm in love with

this week's involved a lot of sleepless nights, for no good reason. i slept 10 hours on tuesday night, simply because i was catching up on about 2 weeks worth.... and still woke up with black circles under my eyes. and then, i spent all day yesterday throwing up in bed, so needless to say, i'm in need of a god sleep.
i digress. things i'm in love with this week.

this little nook, which compels in me an urge for light, solitude, and a GREAT stool. perfect DIY for those who don't have enough room for a proper table, or balcony, but DO have a great window to stare out of.

this movie - the dark matter of love - which was one of my 'in bed for the day' movies, and i cried the entire time. a beautiful, heartbreaking, promising, loving, careful movie about the process of adopting older children into a home - even more, children from russia, into an american home. totally worth the watch.

this little ditty that's been making the rounds, and no matter how many times i watch it, i get all swoony and teary eyed. every day i say 'hello/goodmorning', and 'thank you' to the bus driver... and rarely do i get a response. and that's ok. that's not the important part. i read an article saying that only (something like) 5% of riders say 'thank you' on transit. and i'm not going to be one of those people.

i literally JUST planted my little seeds for my balcony garden - i've been gardening in small SMALL spaces for as long as i've been living on my own (12 years - whoa), and i love every second of it. while i dream of one day having a garden for veggies and chickens i can raise my own, for now, container gardening works for me.... and it works well. i love this article on small space gardening.
hope everyone enjoys the weekend immensely.
