Lately

I saw this post on One Little Momma and thought it was a fun little thing, so I’m copying it. I like these types of posts because it’s makes me stop and really think about things and sometimes reminds me that I need to add more things in my life – more playing, more feeling, more stopping and thinking, just taking in life, being intentional about life.

Making: my bed always relaxes me. It creates instant calm in my room.
Cooking : Sporadically. Life has been so busy lately and I’ve been eating really simply, i.e. No recipes, just tossing stuff together. But last weekend I experimented with gluten free pumpkin bread and donuts. I need to share the recipes!
Drinking : La Croix. All the La Croix.
Reading: multiple books, per usual. 1Q84, Jab Jab Right Hook, Remember Me Like This. And I just finished Where’d You Go Bernadette?
Wanting: a house cleaner. But I probably really just need a de-clutterer to go through my cabinets and storage closets.
Looking: forward to seeing Garth Brooks. So. Damn. Excited. I’ve wanted to see him in concert since I was 11 years old.
Playing: Not enough. I need to figure out what “play” means for me as an adult.
Wasting: too much time on social media.
Sewing: Never. But I really should learn since I have to get half of what I buy altered.
Wishing: there were direct flights to the West Coast out of the Greensboro airport.
Enjoying: some beautiful mountain views.
Waiting: for my coffee to kick in so I feel alive.
Liking: All the articles Jen shared on her blog yesterday.
Wondering: when I’ll have all the answers to what I should do with my life. 🙂
Loving: my latest purchase from Fabletics – the dark plum lima capris.
Hoping: I can PR at this year’s Mistletoe half marathon since last weekend’s debacle.
Marveling: at how much Maizey cheers me up.
Needing: new socks. And I hate buying socks.
Smelling: the best candle ever.
Wearing: Lima capris (see above) and a t-shirt. Sexy up in here.
Following: Way too many boxer accounts on Instagram.
Noticing: my breathe. I’m focusing on taking deep breathes more frequently throughout the day.
Knowing: I need to learn to listen to my gut better.
Thinking: how excited my dad will be when I tell him I’m coming home for Thanksgiving! (He doesn’t read my blog so I didn’t ruin the surprise. :)) Plus, he’s out elk hunting this weekend.
Feeling: a wee bit stressed.
Bookmarking: lots of soup recipes to try.
Opening: a new bag of coffee beans and inhaling the smell is the best (I get to open a new bag in a few days I think!)
Giggling: when I make time to chat with good friends. Sometimes nothing beats a phone conversation.
Feeling: so incredibly grateful to have a job I LOVE.

I’d love to hear a little from you! What are you cooking, feeling, or wasting time on today?
