Be Weird. Normal is the New Boring.

Posted on the 06 June 2014 by Lynne @lynneknowlton

Helllooooo Pumpkin !  Have I told you lately ?  Have I really told you?  Man, I lurve ya and I’ve missed ya.   Get ready.   This month is going to be a hot one on the blog.  I have some awesomeness lined up for you, YOU and you.

Where  have you been in the last few weeks?!!

I know. I know.

My bad.

 It’s me.

Where the bejeezuz have I been?!

Uhmmm … Chasing treehouse squirrels and Florida palm trees.

We went on a road trip to Florida.  It was for a cancer conference.

Road Trip !*+

Note to self:  Palm trees are dope to a Canadian.  They are like Valium leaves waving in the wind.  Palm-gasmic.

Cool  Things  Whiz  By  You  on  Road  Trips

I interrupt this watermelon fiasco for a little interlude … I have a wee question for you.

The question that I’m going to slap on the table, sprinkle with sugar and offer up to you is:

Are you ready for all the creative awesomeness that’ll be coming your way on this here bloggy blog blog this month?!!

It’s going to be epic shit.

There.  Warned you fair and square.

There  will  be  no  time  for  cat  napping,  Missy

I came to the wild conclusion that you like peaceful photos in the countryside.  Who knew?  Well, you asked.  I’m delivering.  I love you like that.

Living in the countryside makes me chill it.  Apparently it does the same for you.   Yeah !!

Here’s your first chill it moment …

Shhhhh.  That  Is  a  Legit  Deer  In  The  Front  Yard !!

Why has it been weeks since we chitty chatted?

I have an imagination that is curlier than a crazy straw.  It’s a blessing and a curse all at once.  My head may get a little loopy sometimes when full of creative ideas, but that kind of magnificence is worth the time it takes to share on the bloggy.

Good stuff is coming. You want to kiss me right now, don’t you?

Pucker up.

I have the coolest projects lined up to show you this month !!  I’ll be showering you with awesomeness.

Shower   Head  All  Gussied  up  With  a  Metal  Flower

Truth is, blog procrastination has been hanging around like stink in my head.  I’ve been so busy making shit (read: fabulous stuff)  that I haven’t had time to throw the words out into the interweb for you.

I do worry every now and again that I might be becoming an asshat, completely incapable of getting a blog post written down.  Like ever again in the history of ever.  Imagine that?  Shoot me. Shoot me now.

Sometimes I just get blog post scaredy pants.  I have a lot to share, but word co-ordination doesn’t always just spill out.

DIY and blogging about it takes coordination.  It’s sort of like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time and all the while wearing a gold star, a pinterest paper crown and wishing that common sense was a super power.

Jacked  Up  On  Coffee

How’d I get ‘er done?  One foot in front of the other.  One sip of wine after the other.

Suddenly.  Done.

Projects complete.  Now the writing time squeezed in between meals and binge watching Netflix.

I had to sit at my ‘puter and get the words on the page for you…

… My sweet mango <— remember those words.  Watch for them in the upcoming video in this blog post.   Note :  I screamed that awesomeness. 

oh my

Sometimes I wrote the words down on my ‘puter.

Sometimes I just horrified myself by turning on my laptop camera to see if I could scare myself silly.  It worked.

Note to self : Don’t do it.  It’s official.  Laptop cameras make you look like the little shop of morning horrors.

I interrupt this blog post for some more countryside chilling it.  Sip your coffee.  This is what relaxing stuff is made of…

Ahhhh….This   will   Float  your  Boat   Of  Relaxation

Now that your all relaxed, I have a little sumthin’ sumthin’ for you !

Here you go,  MY SWEET LITTLE MANGO ….

No matter what anyone else thinks of you, you always have to believe,I don’t care~that’s their opinion

Take Nolan’s words and think about them.  Remind yourself every single day that there is beauty everywhere and in every single person.  There is beauty in YOU.

Lather. Rinse.  Repeat.

Do you want to know something w.e.i.r.d. ?  It is great to be weird.

Be weird.  Normal is the new boring.

Here’s what happened in these past few weeks, when I wasn’t looking …

1.    Our Treehouse was on A Beautiful Mess BLOG!!

#Treehouse LOVE via DESIGN THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE http://www.lynneknowlton.com/be-weird/ ‎

Treehouse   LOVE   +

One of my bucket list goals was to be a guest blogger on A Beautiful Mess.  You may remember when I wrote about my fave super dope rad entrepreneurs.

Oh, and I should mention that having a mad love affair with Channing Tatum is on my bucket list too.  Channing and I go way back.  Way back in my imagination.

Be careful what you wish for.

*Snicker*

2.    Glamping LOVE

I fell head over heals in love with AirStream.  Again.  And again.  Oh, and over again.  It’s a mad crush, and I think you should enjoy this mad crazy crush with me.  Let’s dream!

There’s more Airstream smoochiness on this glamping pinterest board.

AirStream  Love

3.   Tiny Cabin  Inspiration :

We built a treehouse ‘bathroom’ cabin <— pretend that I am standing on a rooftop and shouting those words out at the top of my lungs.  While you’re at it, can you also pretend that I’m a super model in a string bikini on a deserted island?!!  Great.  That was nice for a second.

Snap.

Back to reality.  I have muffin top and I wouldn’t be caught dead in a string bikini.   Now I need a drink.  With the rooftop chill, bikini shock and my fear of heights … hard liquor is now a requirement.

Liquor and pinterest go well together.  I drink and dream over here:  This pinterest board was part of my inspiration for the cabin DIY.

Come follow me on pinterest and we can sip virtual drinks together.
