Currently- Edition 2

Currently-Edition 2

Two weeks later, I have been 31 for 14 days, I have had the WORST cold for almost 1 week, I went to North Carolina and back and it is NOVEMBER 1st!!! WOOHOO! You know what this means...Fall is in FULL SWING (officially we 'fall back' in a few days), time to break out the boots, scarves, coats, flannels.  Put away the Halloween decor and break out the in-between Halloween and Christmas decor (which for me is one in the same...I put out "winter" decor, I'll do my tree a little later on.  And drinking hot drinks, and quite possibly attempting to add a Christmas playlist into your Pandora shuffle just for a light preview.  So now, day 1 of November, here are the 'currently's' happening!

Drinking

My body is begging me to drink water, water and more water.  But on the first day of November, I splurged on a fancy (free thanks to earned rewards!) Starbucks drink, it was my go-to in college, Grande Soy White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha...HOWEVER, since I used to work there, I know the ins and outs of how to order and how much damn syrup they actually put in those cups if you don't request otherwise- so I do ONE pump white mocha and 2 pumps of peppermint (Just a heads up- Starbucks would do FOUR (4!!!!!) of each syrup if I had not requested otherwise.... GROSS, not too mention sugar overload).  It was delightful and just what I wanted, however since I have been at my desk I am going on about my 40th oz of water and 2nd hot cup of green tea.  MENDING.

Eating

Beside my oatmeal with blue berries, nothing yet, it's only 11AM.  For lunch I plan to walk to Whole Foods and make a salad full of antioxidants and vitamin C. Gotta kick this damn bug!

Listening

Don't judge... but I added a few Christmas playlists to my Pandora Shuffle...I am in the mood early this year! I want to soak up every ounce of Holiday that I can get my hands on!!

Wearing

I got the cutest flannel at a Target in North Carolina!  It's navy and the plaid has a bright pink line going throughout.  Not to mention comfy factor, and casual Tuesdays at work! Paired with Navy pants and brown knee high boots...for LA not being freezing but FINALLY staying in the high 60s low 70s, I feel it is time to break out the boots!

Wanting

Still want Anne of Green Gables (CHRISTMAS LIST!!) But as of late, I got so many gift cards for my birthday (so much YES) that I have been frequenting Marshals and TJ Maxx and have found the BEST things ever.  I have already spent $150, do you know how far that stretches at these stores!? It's amazing.  So my wants are dwindling since I have been fulfilling them so much lately. :)

Reading

So last time I wrote, I had just finished "Behind Closed Doors", now since then, I have finished "Woman in Cabin 10".  OMG. SO GOOD, such a thriller and I just got lost in it.  On to the next thriller...need to find a new good one!!

Watching

Still, 'This is Us', and loving!  Also started SJPs newest, 'Divorce' and it's interesting! I am not hooked yet but I will definitely keep watching.  It's dark, and comical, and definitely a different vibe then all the other shows I am watching.  Also, TWD FINALLY CAME BACK. I am devastated after the loss of Glen and Abraham- RIP. But excited to see where this season goes!!

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...
