Currently-Edition 3

December is in FULL swing and it is lovely.  I have done so many fun activities that have been so festive and joyful.  There are no bah-humbugs here! I even put up a Christmas tree for the FIRST time this year! So exciting, you have no idea.  I packed up my ornaments from my parents' house in Seattle and shipped em on down! So here we go with Currently-Edition 3. Woohoo!

Here it is, nestled in the corner of my sweet, studio apartment!  


Drinking

 Dry January is fast approaching, I will be doing a massive health kick as I am going to Hawaii on January 27th and I need to feel a little more...fit if you will? ;) So currently I am enjoying all beverages.  I try not to drink alcohol during the week but that is difficult given all the holiday festivities including my office party that is tomorrow night & a friend's 30th birthday celebration that is Friday! EEK! So a lot of water and the normal coffee routine during the weeks.

Eating

 Healthy! TRYING!  Getting daily treats from patients at work and Trader Joes has these dark chocolate covered peppermint OREO type cookies. HEAVEN & HELL in one box.  So strict eating during the week with 1-2 treats from wherever they show up and working out every day. BLAH.
Side note: tried a new restaurant on Sunday (do I need to do a restaurant blog? YES)....
Sotto (click link to see the divinity that is this restaurant!) was it's name, actually saw the main guy from NCIS... haha.  It was a fancy shmance place but absolutely delicious.  We went with our foodie friends and they know how to pick the entrees, appetizers, desserts, etc and we just share.  It was SO GOOD.  We are talking risotto, flat bread pizzas, roasted chicken, smoked olive oil to dip bread in, cannoli for dessert, cocktails AND red wine.  This meal was no joke.  Loved it!

Listening

 Zooey Deshanel "Baby It's Cold Outside,"  and it is heaven.

Wearing

 My most recent, absolute FAVORITE purchase is my ice blue, satin, pleated midi skirt that I will be wearing for tomorrow night's holiday party.  Oh yes.  The one I ordered is here and it is GORGEOUS!

Wanting

 Well, 'tis the season of Christmas lists and giving and receiving.  I am sure Santa knows what I want this year..... ;)

Reading

 Well, I finished a new book since the last post, "Small Great Things" by Jodi Picoult.  I give this book 5 VERY BIG stars.  It was excellent, eye opening, sad, happy, and mesmerizing.  Highly, HIGHLY recommend.  It was a learning experience for me to read this book and I am so thankful for it.  Learn more here!!

Watching

 So the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead was CRAZY.  I also binged and LOVED Westworld on HBO, seriously, blew my mind and I am a little upset that we have to wait until 2018 to watch season 2!? Say what??? Loving Divorce and so happy it picked up for a second season, SJP is just brilliant.  This Is Us winter finale was gut wrenching good.  That show is seriously incredible, I have not been disappointed once.  WATCH IT!

So...this 'Currently' was a little more short and sweet- but I hope you enjoyed it! XOXO, Happy Holidays, and see you next year!

your Passion(s)

What's your passion? Movies? Music? Reading? Writing? Running? Etc? One thing I know about me, I don't have just one, in fact I get really ADD, as in, I'll start a book, then forget about it and finish it months later (disclaimer: UNLESS it's a James Patterson thriller).  I will binge a series on Netflix then not watch TV for days, I'll re-watch the same movies because it's easier then attempting a new one....and the list goes on. One other thing I know about me: since the day I saw Titanic, I knew I would never be the same.  Don't laugh.  The movie itself unleashed an obsession, infatuation, and love for not just Leonardo DiCaprio, but more seriously, ships. Sunken ships mostly, but also boats, cruise ships, oil rigs, sail boats--- you name it, if it floated, or sunk, I wanted to know about it. Before I knew it I lived, breathed, and dreamt of sunken ships.  Of seeing one in person, of the books I had bought at Barnes and Noble, and second hand book...

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 M...

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 ...
