Currently Edition 5

I am the worst.  I tried to be a blogger, tried to be a writer but I just don't have time, energy or enough creative juices going through my brain that are devoted to writing as of the last couple of years.  I don't know what it is, but it's ok! I  have been putting my energy toward making a home, cooking new recipes, life changes, PLANNING A WEDDING, basking in my best friends' wedding planning (I am a grooms-gal!) and enjoying living.  However, I do enjoy these Currently blog posts because it's fun to look back at what I happened to be into.... so here goes #5!

Drinking

Well..I am a water FIEND. I'm telling you... I think I log just shy of a gallon every day.  Maybe I reach a gallon at least.  All I know is that my Swell water bottle is my pride and joy and goes with me every where.  And I frequent my offices water station so many times a day to a. get steps, b. move away from the computer screen and c. get that H2O in my system!

Also, my fiance has been making Tiki drinks! It has been so much fun.  He makes his own simple syrups from scratch and fresh squeezes all the citrus! It's nuts and I love it!  It definitely doesn't happen nightly because I don't drink during the week except for a special occasion, but Friday nights or Saturdays I am drinking those suckers!  Everything from a Navy Grog (Sinatra's signature drink!) to a Hurricane (can we say BYEEE! Because it is strong) but it has been so much fun taste testing and enjoying them together on a night in, which is pretty much what we do every night- stay IN.

Eating

 Healthy, clean & delicious! Eating healthy doesn't mean a chicken breast with a side of broccoli.  It means I can make so many different options and watch my portions and added sugars and saturated fats.  What is on the menu tonight? Two-ingredient pizza dough topped with Trader Joes Kale Pesto & Mushrooms and lite mozz cheese.  I will devour half and fiance the other half and won't feel a twinge of guilt because I know exactly what I am eating and am keeping track of my daily intake! It's been really fun to enjoy all foods, feel happy and also lose weight at the same time.  Thank you Weight Watchers.


Listening

60's pop playlist on Apple music. It's perfect for this Tuesday.

Wearing

Well outside it's muggy, 85 and gross. Inside it's freezing so a sweatshirt with jeans and flip flops, casual month at work.

Wanting

All the items at the Nordstrom sale! My cart is full and my budget says NO! UGH.

Reading

More like listening...on my god-awful commutes! Audible is my best friend.  Just finished A Simple Favor, which was creepy, weird and SO GOOD, and is going to be a movie in September with Blake Lively & Anna Kendrick.  Just started Something in the Water.  So far no huge opinions on it, it's interesting and based in London and focused on a couple who go on their honeymoon, scuba dive and SEE SOMETHING IN THE WATER...so we shall see! Stay tuned.

Watching

I am re-watching Desperate Housewives that aired on ABC back in 2004-2009 roughly, I think?  Anyway, I was a HUGE fan of the drama and laughs and am loving re-watching it on Hulu!

That's all for now!

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...

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 ...

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...
