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!

Fem

I am no feminist, or at least not an activist for feminism, but I just read the most interesting article.  Someone started a tweet chat where they asked men 16 questions of situations that women experience nearly on the daily- down to texting your friend that you got home safely, because this legitimately is something that women have to do.  It was so interesting to me to see how these things are actually ever present in my everyday life. Being a woman- means you DO have to watch your back, you do have to carry pepper spray, or even a small knife with you.  It means walking on streets late at night that there is a chance for something bad to happen. It means that people can blame your emotions on "that time of the month." THIS is a big one for me.  I am allowed to be upset, cry, or express anything I want via tears or with haste if it is upsetting, and NO it doesn't mean it's that time of the month. It means there is a chance that your ideas at work may be look...

A Little Sap

My biggest fear is that I will forget my memories. Whether they be fond, happy, sad, angry, or confusing memories, I don't want to forget them. Hence the reason one blogs perhaps?  Definitely one of the several reasons why I re-started blogging.   Since October my life has been such a cluster.  A blurred-together-all-in-one-cloud--- life.  I can't differentiate what I did in November with what I did in February.  That is not said negatively.  I have enjoyed every moment, adventure, conversation, dinner, drink, walk, hike, drive, experience and discovery that I have encountered.   Someone said to me the other day, "don't just survive, live."  And then I realized, I am living, even though it may look like I am just surviving sometimes.  Although I look at my life and think, I am 28, I live in a tiny studio apartment with no parking, I have a Los Angeles address, I have no significant other, I don't have 35 different friends to hang ...

Good Morning Everyone...!

So a man just walked into the coffeebean I'm at, which is on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, and announced just like this, "good morning everyone! I am a piece of shit!" No one paid any attention to him. He was clearly homeless, and probably just hungry and has misplaced his marbles somewhere. He proceeded to say that talking bad about himself out loud will make people want to be his friend because they will feel better about themselves. He was then escorted out by an employee. What I'd like to know is who in the world taught him that notion? How sad to think that putting yourself down will attract people that will be your friend.  Poor guy. It's Friday! And hot damn August is almost over. I don't even know where it went. Down some avenue away to some imaginary land I presume. Ever since April I don't even know what I've been doing. Traveling to Los Angeles a hell of a lot to hang out with people, explore, see stand up, eat, drink and be merry. It...
