A Little Friday Fun...

I found this list on Pinterest yesterday...a journaling prompt of sorts. Thought it might be fun to blog!

CURRENTLY I'M.....

Reading...the book Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist. This is her third book, I think, but the first I've read and I'm IN LOVE with it. I love reading how she weaves food, recipes, memories, and life lessons.

Playing...catch-up!! At least at work. Lynne is off all next week, and I've been preparing encore shows to air, which has put me dreadfully behind on paperwork. I'm sure somewhere under all of it is a desk surface.

Watching...America's Got Talent. Ryan and I are so excited that we've found another show we both love to watch, and we're recording it so we don't miss anything!

Trying...to work out three days a week. Finding a workout routine/time to do it that actually FITS my new, married life is so hard. But I'm working hard to defeat the temptation to give it up completely.

Cooking...exclusively from the Dashing Dish website. I love making new recipes, cooking with real, normal food, and finding treasure after treasure on Katie's site!

Eating...a lot of Kind bars. One every single day for my snack. Oh Lynne Ford. Why did you get me so hooked on those???

Drinking...a lot of iced tea. Thank you for arriving, summer!! I love the excuse to "need a tea."

Calling...Ryan. Even though we're married, we still talk to each other for our entire commutes. Unapologetically sappy, we are.

Texting...Ryan. That's shocking to you, isn't it? I love the messages that flood my phone every chance he gets. Just little words of love to let me know I'm not forgotten.

Pinning...everything under the sun! Finding new ideas for across the board is one of my favorite things in every single day. I. Heart. Pinterest.

Tweeting...much better for work than I am for personal use. I'm a Facebooker much more than a Tweeter, I'm afraid.

Crafting...well, I'm a bit behind on this one too, but I do have a couple of Pinterest-inspired projects waiting in the wings.

Scrapping...a cool scrapbook sort of inspired by Shauna Niequist's book I'm reading. I'll have to tell you more about it sometime.

Doing...a lot of driving. And these days...in construction. Ahhh how I love construction zones. And I've finally started to remember about the cop that hides under the overpass at the one end....

Loving...my new haircut. SO GLAD I gave up the need to try to look 20 and got it all chopped off.

Hating...my recently acquired farmer's tan. I try SO HARD to get tan lines that look okay with all outfits. Shot that one on the first burn of the season!!

Discovering...that vegetables aren't so bad. Don't you DARE tell anyone I said so.

Enjoying...our pirogi and the chance to sit out there often with Ryan. LOVE eating outside.

Thinking...about how to celebrate our first anniversary. Yes. It is just under six months away.

Feeling...grateful it's THIS year at this time and not LAST year at this time. God has done so much in one year!

Hoping...to complete all our renovation/update projects soon so we can sit back and ENJOY!

Listening to...the radio! What else!! :)

Celebrating...life. There were too many years when I merely tolerated it. I'm celebrating it now.

Smelling...coffee. Story of my life. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanking...God for protection in the crazy storms that hit our area this week.

Considering...retirement. Okay not really. But doesn't it SOUND fun???

Finishing...the encore shows we'll air during Lynne's vacation next week.

Starting...a writing idea in my head. Hope it transitions to paper soon.

So, bloggy friends...you up to any of these things above? I'd love to hear!!!!

cute post!

Do tell me what Kind bars are!

Kind bars are pure goodness. I posted a link (forgot to do that earlier) so you can see. They come in a variety of flavors - some with chocolate, some without, some with fruit, some with nuts, some with a combo. They're gluten free (which is neither here nor there for me, but is an important thing for some to know) - and I just find them very good and filling for a snack!!

On the days I leave the office for lunch, I call Bill while heading to whatever bad-for-me place I'm going that day. It's wonderful to have a non-work related conversation in the middle of the day.

As you know I'm Watching Gilmour Girls and also Trying to work out three times a week. Making it a priority is difficult but oh so worth it.

I really want to read "Bread and Wine." I am finishing up "Anything" right now and I hope to get time to read that book before the end of summer.
