Currently I'm ...

What's New With You
Yes, I realize that I just wrote a "life lately" post last week and a "currently" post is basically the same idea. But I really wanted to link up with Kristen and Gretchen today, and, to be completely honest, I wasn't feeling any of the 20 blog posts I started before this one.

So I'll save those for another time, and talk about some completely random shit today.

Currently I'm:


Reading: The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. This is my second book for Book Challenge by Erin 4.0, and I have several others from my list already checked out from the library. I think I'll probably go for Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson next.

Listening To: A lot of Radiohead.

Especially this:



And this:



Wishing: I had more time to do everything I want (and need) to do. Seriously ... 24 hours just isn't enough most days.

Spending: Less money in general. One of my New Year's resolutions for 2016 is to be more frugal, and I think I've been doing pretty well so far. I'm not on a spending freeze or anything, but I'm trying to be more aware of my spending habits in order to cut back on unnecessary expenses.

Trying: To avoid getting sick. Eric has been feverish and coughing his head off for the last couple of days, and I've basically been like this:

Thinking: That I should have chosen something less time consuming to make for work tomorrow. I have to bake a couple of pans of pasta tonight, and, while it isn't difficult, it takes time. (And yet I keep putting it off.)

Craving: Mediterranean food. Specifically falafel. And hummus. And kebabs. Yum.

Loving: That this weekend is going to be mostly free and relaxing. I have a Skype date with two of my girlfriends on Saturday, and I'm planning to work out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But other than that? Totally free.

Planning: To spend some time reading, stalking checking out new blogs from this link-up, and working on some blog posts this weekend. (Obviously I give zero fucks about the Superbowl.)

  1. Stopping by from the linkup and you grabbed me right off the bat! Radiohead is my go-to when I don't know what to listen to. Love!
    I want to be more frugal this year too. I don't think my spending is crazy out of control or anything, but I'm definitely not frugal and I'd like to get a little closer to that end of the spectrum!
    I couldn't care less about the Super Bowl either :/
