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.

4 Goodbyes...

If you are faint of heart...don't read this blog post. Death for me was a distant thought, I had seen it in movies, I had watched friends lose friends and family members, but up until the last few months, I hadn't personally experienced it, minus my great-grandmother when I was 17, she was 99 and healthy, just died in her sleep of old age and I was not close to her so I really didn't feel all the feels. My experiences started several months ago, some meant a lot to me, some were just weird and some gut wrenching. I was a nanny for several years, before I moved to LA 2.5 years ago, for many different families and usually ended on wonderful notes with each family when I parted ways, however, with on in particular mom, it ended not so sweetly. Her name was Kim, and I was basically hired to be her friend.  She was a surgeon's wife and had two kiddos.  She wanted companionship, someone to talk to and hang out with, she fast became someone I could tell all my stories ...

Giving & Thanks

Well....INSPO from one of my favorite bloggers whom I feel like I am friends with even though we have never met personally but we "follow" each other's lives from one big city to the other across the USA and engage with each other--- ALL THAT creepiness being said, her blog is  here .  ANYWAY, the whole point of that paragraph was that I felt, even though I rarely write/blog anymore, I should write a thankful/grateful post! I enjoy a good list so I will be listing these out- First and foremost, I don't care how gross you think I am but I am thankful for Almond Nog, Trader Joes' version of Almond Milk Egg Nog, don't know how it all works, but it's damn delicious and has been in my gingerbread ground coffee also from Trader Joes, every single morning this week!  Yes I am a sucker for seasonal flavors, I am what they call #basic, and I own it. AIR TRAVEL, even though I know LAX will be a complete cluster F tonight I am thankful that once I board...

Dating Handbook

I have a friend who is currently in the process of writing a book.  I won't disclose details because it's such a great idea I don't want anyone to steal it!  Anyway, I am heavily supporting, encouraging and offering my crazy input, grammar correction, etc. as he writes it.  He's a hilarious writer, I die every time I read an entry even though I know him & am biased, I know other's will love it, find it hysterical, and I can't wait for his world wide book tour and accompanying him, and I know he can't wait either...;) Anyway, in my world, I have been single for a long time.  Ready to mingle, for sure.  But single most definitely.  There have been a few weird in-betweeners, but you could say, safely, that I have not been IN a relationship since I was 19.  A decade, a DECADE of me time, a decade of not knowing what it's like to have someone in my life to call "mine". Or someone to spoil, dote, take me on dates, and all that sappy shit. A dec...
