To be honest, my weekend was not worthy of an entire blog recap, but it was very nice. We spent some time at home, we went to an art festival with friends, we ate Chinese food and played games, we rode our bikes, I went to CrossFit, we had a Sunday coffee date where we drank our iced Thai coffees in the sunshine, I went to a book club, and we spent time with the Husband’s family to celebrate his mom’s birthday.
It was really, really a great way to spend a few days! (But did I take any pictures? NOPE! Sorry Instagram followers.)
I realized the other day that it is, indeed, September, but since I’m in fall-denial (even though I love fall) I didn’t want to post this ‘Currently’ post until the last minute. Well, I think September 9th can be considered ‘last minute’ so here it is…
Sadly we were not at the game yesterday, but for all those who missed it, Da Bears did beat the Bengals (my second favorite team).
____________________
In September I’m currently…
Reading: I just finished ‘Atonement
Watching: FOOTBALL! I love college football, but I don’t cheer for any one team every weekend. Well, unless you count whoever-is-playing-ND as a team. But no, my real love is for the Chicago Bears and for all the games on Sunday and Monday night! (Yeah, I’m aware of the whole Thursday game thing, but those just don’t rock my world.)
Listening to: Spanish podcasts! I can’t believe I have a Spanish minor and have gotten so NOT FLUENT in Spanish. It’s embarrassing and I’m trying to correct it!
Obsessing over: Fall clothes. I love, love, love fall clothes.
Shopping for: (see above answer)
Wearing: My hair as naturally as possible, shorts, layers when it’s cold enough to.
Learning: Spanish! (Well, I’d like to think I’m reviewing it, but who am I kidding… I’m pretty much just learning it.)
Thinking: I’m still thinking about what direction to go in this career/job search of mine. I’m also trying not to think about the future as much as I have been.
Bothered by: People’s decisions. The control freak in me gets super bothered when people make decisions that I would never, ever make. I know I shouldn’t be bothered by what other people do, but I just can’t help it! (But to be fair, some of these decisions do affect me, so I’m not being completely irrational).
Eating: More home-cooked meals than I ever have before! (More details on this later).
Drinking: As much water as I remember to drink. I woke up the other day with SO MUCH lactic acid in my legs (well, I hope that’s what it was, I’ve never felt so achy and sore in my life) that I decided I need to flush out all of that crap with lots of water.
Wasting time on: Sleep and Candy Crush. WHY did so many people tell me to play that game?! I love it but I hate it.
Loving: Life and travel and the Husband and the weather…
Praying for: Clarity and patience! There are just so many uncertainties in life right now that I just need to start feeling good about directions we’re moving in.
Working on: I still have some wedding-related projects to work on (oh yeah, that wedding that we had 10 months ago… yep, still not done with photo albums!) And I’m trying to plan our travel for the beginning of next year – woot!
Looking forward to: We have friends expecting babies soon and I cannot wait to meet the little ones!!!
