What I am...
Watching - We finished Making a Murderer over the holidays. It didn't make me believe Steven Avery was necessarily innocent, but it sure did get me all enraged about the justice system. Since then, quite a lot of football. Go Patriots! (But only because the Bills didn't make the postseason.)
Wearing - Jeans, sweaters, and boots. Slacks to work. Easy, comfy, warm. But still cute. At least that's the goal.
Loving - My boys, even when they fight all day long and generally drive me crazy.
Eating - Tons of chocolate-chip walnut cookies. And kale, to balance things out.
Listening - Lots of Adele and Glen Hansard at the moment. Nathan is decidedly NOT a fan of Adele, and he's declared "Hello" to be his least favorite song ever. Well then. Maroon 5 seems to be more his speed. To each his own.
Wanting - New earrings. I only have a few pairs, and although I've never been big on jewelry, I do enjoy wearing a little something on my ears.
Reading - Well, I've already posted what I've finished. I'm currently reading a book of short stories by Colum McCann called "Thirteen Ways of Looking". Next up: The Nightingale. (I've heard great things.)
Enjoying - The Martian movie. It was good, but I'm sure I would've enjoyed it more if I had not read the book. They left out a bunch! But it was fun and well done and who doesn't love Matt Damon?
Drinking - A lot of sparkling water. Kevin and I are taking a break from alcohol for the month of January. It feels good, but it's harder than I expected.
Thinking - That our election cycle is waaaaay too long in this country. Can we all vote now and get it over with?
Appreciating - The fact that my boys are old enough to clean toilets now. They do some cleaning every weekend, and it makes me happy. They shoveled the driveway yesterday too! Nice.
Planning - Vacations! We have three major vacations planned for this year, and they are all booked! Disneyworld, Cape Cod, and Dublin/Barcelona. A lot to look forward to.
Working - To incorporate more yoga into my week. I'm in a good phase. I did 30 minutes before work this morning, and my shoulders feel good.
Feeling - Pretty good about everything in my own life, which makes me feel like I should be doing more for others.
Noticing - It's been a mild start to Winter again this year, but there's talk of a storm this weekend.
Wondering - Is it going to be another Winter like last year?
You sound like you are in a happy place and have everything in control!! Whoop whoop that's a good place to be. And well done for doing yoga before work. I am finding that unless I do a class I don't do it, which is a shame. I just like being told what to do! I might just try it alone again though. Keep warm, Lou x
ReplyDeleteI just read the comment you left for me!! Made me laugh out loud. I wondered: does 'turning your husband up loud' mean something that I don't understand? Is this an Americanism? Is this new?!! I LIKE that term. I think it's actually spot on - once the kids leave we will turn our husbands up loud - maybe they have been on 'quiet' since the babies were born? Inspired!! Oh and loud music also good. We just got speakers plumbed into our ceilings so we play music a lot. A great investment I can tell you. It's made music part of our family life, who gets to choose what is played etc during dinner. All good. Here's to LOUD!! L x
