Currently- Edition 1

I think it would be fun to try a new approach to my blogs.  Right now my blogs are just my thoughts, randoms, and have no direction or path, but hey, it's a blog and I don't care who reads it and I post whatever the mood suits.  I do it for a fun hobby and enjoy it.  I thought it would be fun to do a weekly or monthly 'Currently' post and talk about my current favorite things/currently what I am doing/reading/watching, etc.  Categories could be, drinking, eating, listening, wearing, wanting, reading and watching.  So... here, on the date of my 31st birthday, goes nothing!

Currently- Edition 1.

It's fall and finally the trees seem to be SEMI changing here in Los Angeles.  Though we had nice cool (73 degrees) weather and some light rain on the weekend, the forecast says to prep for a 95 degree heat wave. Kill.Me.Now.  Lucky for me I am heading out of town for a wedding trip and leaving Los Angeles in the rear view (or airplane window) mirror.

Here are the 'Currently's' going down right now!

Drinking: Water.  I had about 95 (ok not that many) beers on Sunday where I celebrated my 31st a little early at a brewery, Arts District Brewery, in downtown LA.  It was AMAZING and so fun and several wonderful and lovely friends were there to celebrate with me!  But I figured I better hydrate before a wedding that is bound to have an open bar.  So this week, I have been drinking a lot of H2O.  HOWEVER- tonight I will be going to CATCH restaurant with the BF to celebrate my birthday, and you better believe a fancy beverage will be downed.   Maybe I will write about it in another blog post!

Eating:  Just had an Avocado Burrito from COMPOS, a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that has all the authentic flavor one could hope and wish for.  I will be going on a one mile walk for lunch hour to burn off some calories before the birthday dinner tonight though.

Listening: Well, at work I do a Pandora SHUFFLE of everything from Billie Holiday to 90's pop hits to Halloween songs (because, duh).  But my current new favorite artist is:  Johnny Swim, and the song I fell in love with him for is 'Drunks'. Try it on for size, I bet you'll LOVE IT.

Wearing:  Jeans and a baseball tee with pumpkins on the sleeves from my sweet sister for my birthday.  It's comfy and festive.  Casual day at work today so that is a plus!  

Wanting: Right now my BIGGEST want is Anne of Green Gables BOX set that has all three of the movies on DVD.  It is out of stock on Amazon and I don't know where else to buy it. UGH. :(  I will wait and see!

Reading: Ok, I JUST finished 'Behind Closed Doors' and it was SO GOOD if you are into thriller, crazy suspense drama books.  I just bought 'The Woman in Cabin 10' which is the same genre.  I will probably finish it in a week or so, so stay tuned!

Watching: The question is, what AREN'T I watching, with Hulu, HBO, Starz, Showtime, AMC, and Netflix apps all at my finger tips- GEEZ.
I am however a die hard Once Upon a Time Fan, so I am watching the new season that is only three weeks in.  NEW FAVORITE SHOW ALERT: 'THIS IS US'. Tuesday nights on NBC.  It is HEAVEN.  Family, drama, attractive actors and actresses, real life stuff.  I absolutely love it.  Watch it if you haven't!

There we have it. 10\18\16 Currently. Done.

"What part of LA do you live in?" And Other Important thoughts and questions that go through my head

Oh me. Single as all get out, in the dating world, BIG TIME, not just a toe dipper, nope I am full on doused into the deep end of it.  Yes I am on Tinder, yes I am on Ok Cupid, and yes, I am too cheap to join Match/E-Harmony so I am going with the free ones...which has not proven to be worth it yet but can you complain when you aren't paying for anything....? The things I have stumbled upon, the people I have met, and the amount of drinks I have downed to get through some pretty horrendous dates are quite....interesting.  My last two blog posts can show you a little insight into that. Here are a small amount of things that go through my mind when I am gandering (it's a word even though this tells me it's not- I made it up apparently) at these so called "Dating Bios." How old is he...? Dating sites have filters mostly...unfortunately for Ok Cupid, anyone can message you- but it filters out the age you don't want from your viewing.  So this week for inst...

Rants and Rants and No Raves

Just some things that drive this girl batty- LA DRIVERS- Sometimes I think I need my own reality show (pause for hysterics) but seriously, like just when I am driving in my car.  Can we talk about Los Angeles drivers (literally as I typed that sentence I hear a symphony of car horns on the street below my office window) they are the WORST, although when I was in NYC I feared for my life in the cab, more then once....  BUT LA! I MEAN HOLY CRAP.  I am from Seattle- the traffic there is a fraction of the traffic here, and at the appropriate times- morning, and evening.  Traffic in LA happens at 7AM,  8am, 11am, 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, 6PM, 7PM, 8PM, and etc etc etc etc.  It is one of the main of a small amount of reasons I hate this city, the lack of transportation and how the geography is laid out.  If you live in West LA, and I live in East, you can forget hanging out until Saturdays or Sundays.  When I was on dating apps (SO glad those days are over...

Currently Edition 4

Oh hello!  My last Currently  was in December! My how time has flown!  Already 11 days into April.  OH and FYI, it's been 105 years since Titanic's maiden voyage (NERD ALERT, if you have read my past blogs, you know I am a Titanic fan) and on April 14, it's been 105 years since she sunk.  Since I was 11 I have been remembering this date as if it should be a national day on calendars, to remember. ANYWAY...April 11! So much has happened since December.  Work pace has picked up, I am heading 3 brand new, and time consuming projects that are actually SO MUCH FUN and I am loving them.  But...alas this is not a blog about my job, it's about the going on's in my life! Here goes nothing... Drinking This isn't really as exciting when it's not a festive time of year...but the usualy, coffee from the Keurig in the AM with almond milk.. TONS of H2O throughout the day, I think I spend equal amounts of time at my desk and in the bathroom because I have to go ...
