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 alllll day with all this water.  I will be doing a dry time from June 4th (after a weekend trip with friends) through July 18th (BF and I go to Europe!!! That'll be a blog, don't worry) so that month will be no soda, which I hardly drink anyway, no alcohol, no juices, water and coffee with no added sugars only.

Eating

 I don't talk about this much with the world, but I do Weight Watchers...to lose weight AND for the lifestyle changes it instills in me.  Anyway.. since June of last year I have lost a substantial amount of weight.  I go slowly but surely on it but it has opened my eyes to how TERRIBLE some stuff is...like I know it's terrible but I didn't realize HOW terrible.  So it has been good!  And boyfriend enjoys the recipes I make too, so that's a plus! Here's to HEALTHY!  Plus side is you can still eat whatever the heck you want...but it helps you understand portion, moderation, and helps make healthier choices!

Listening

 BIG LITTLE LIES SOUNDTRACK ON REPEAT- that is seriously all you need in life right now.  It's SO GOOD.

Also S-Town Podcast. LISTEN. GO. NOW.

Wearing

  LA cannot make up it's mind, one day it's 79-82 degrees-ish and the next it's 65.  And it's been raining A LOT! So I have only broken out sandals a couple times.  And since my doctor is out the whole month of April...it's casual jeans, vans, and button ups or t- shirts for me right now. Which is amazing.

Wanting

 KITCHEN STUFF.  I have been an amazon FIEND lately getting all the gadgets I can get my hands on!  Practical, but fun ones.  I want the Veggie Bullet SO BAD, that's on my list of wants.

Reading

 I haven't read in a while...I have Devil in a White City downloaded on my kindle...I figure I will save it for my 10 hour flight to London in July if I haven't started it yet.

Watching

 Little Big Lies is my recent favorit! Now that it's done.... SADNESS.  I watched The Crown also, it was AMAZING.  Need a new show- STAT.

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 ...
