A month or two ago, I saw a survey pop up on Chelsey’s blog and bookmarked it because it seemed like a lot of fun! (Speaking of Chelsey, she is currently pregnant with twins! Check out her blog for all the details and to wish her congratulations. What wonderful news!)
Anyway, this survey is appropriately called “currently” and takes you through some things I’m currently loving. Feel free to play along in the comments section!
Current Book(s):
On my recent vacation I read Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling and loved it! It’s a quick, hilarious read.
I also read Summerland by Elin Hilderbrand. A previous passenger left it on the boat that we stayed on in the Galapagos Islands and I breezed through it. A bunch of side stories surrounded the main plot and kept me interested. It was an easy read. A great beach book!
Current Music:
Even though I ran in the ZOOMA half marathon back in January, I am still rockin’ my half marathon playlist.
It is probably my favorite workout playlist to date and never fails to pump me up.
Another song I am loving? Mission Bells by Fighting Gravity. A friend of mine burned it onto CD for me in high school and I recently rediscovered it. Such a great song!
Current Guilty Pleasure:
Malted milk balls. I never used to like these things, but lately I think they’re freaking amazing. I get them from the bulk bins at Earth Origins (10x better than Whoppers) and love them.
Current Nail Color:
Bright pink! I also tried sea foam green a week or so ago and liked it, but I always seem to go back to pink.
Current Drink:
Sparkling water. Always a favorite!
Current Food:
Kettle corn. I can’t get enough of it lately. Also, almond butter.
Current Favorite Show:
The Big Bang Theory! So, so great!
“Penny!” (knock, knock, knock) “Penny!” (knock, knock, knock) “Penny!” (knock, knock, knock)
Current Wish List:
I need to find a pair of strappy silver heels to wear to my friend Laurel’s wedding next weekend.
All of the bridesmaids are supposed to wear strappy or open-toe silver heels with our long, lilac dresses and I am on the lookout!
Current needs:
A haircut.
Current Indulgence:
Ice cream. Always, always ice cream.
Current Blessing:
The ability to travel. Traveling lights a fire within me and I am so grateful for the ability to explore some of the fabulous places on this planet.
Another blessing is our small group. I cannot express how much Ryan and I love our small group and the discussions we have with such a wonderful group of people.
Current Outfit:
Right now I’m typing up this post in my pajamas but my current favorite thing to wear is a maxi dress. So darn comfortable!
Current Excitement:
My friend Laurel’s bridal shower this Sunday! And her wedding next week!
