Life Lately II

In my life as of lately, I am…

Making : peace.  Peace with where I’m at in life.  Trying to reduce stress and just be at peace with how things are.  And remind myself that I am a lucky gal, even if I find myself in a funk now and then.
Cooking : Crock pot dinners – at least one night a week.
Drinking : Pellegrino with squeezed lime.  For the times I can keep my sugar/soda addiction under control…
Reading: Apparently, I preordered Allegiant, but totally didn’t remember.  So, when I got the email last week that it had been delivered to my Kindle, I was pleasantly surprised.  I’ve heard from others that it moves pretty quickly, so I decided to start with book one again.
Wanting: A money tree.  I know money doesn’t buy happiness.  I don’t want millions, just a few extra thou to keep things comfy.
Looking: tired.  All the time.  Hopefully after my doctor’s appointment Monday morning I’ll be getting some answers soon!
Playing: Games. Well, it’s what I want to be playing anyway.  I haven’t played a good board game or card game in far too long.  Too bad I live with a man that hates games.  Especially word games (which happen to be my favorite!)
Wasting: Leftovers. Too often.
Wishing: it was fall all year ’round.  I don’t mind winter one tiny bit, but if it was autumn all the time, I’d be thrilled.
Enjoying: this weather!  Everyone thinks it’s “too cold” here already.  But, I’m LOVING the 40/50 degree weather!
Waiting: for next weekend!  Packer game numero dos for the year!
Liking: my free time.  More than ever.  Going back to school keeps becoming more and more unappealing…

Kels on some Spaniard Adventure

Wondering: How my kid sister is doing.  Kels, it’s been awhile.  Can we FaceTime?  Soon?  puh-puh-puh-leeeeez?!
Loving: the pup’s Halloween costumes – just wait til you see!
Hoping: the pups still love me even after I dressed them, laughed hysterically, and took pictures.
Marveling: at how hot and cold I can get with this darn blog.  Some days I’m all gung-ho and others it just kills me to find something to write about.
Needing: a massage.  Oh, what I’d do for a professional massage…
Smelling: FALL!  Fires, falling leaves, crisp air.  Mmmmm.  My favorite.
Wearing: I DON’T EVEN KNOW.  I feel so freakin’ sloppy no matter what I wear and it’s killing me.
Following: the Skimm.  I’m telling you – greatest thing ever to subscribe to.  They keep it pretty light, even when talking about serious issues.  I can sort of feel like I can keep up with my incredibly-well-informed husband on the world’s happenings.
Noticing: how lucky I am.  I’ve been making conscious effort to stop, look around, and really take note of how blessed I am.
Knowing: It’s been far too long since I’ve seen Grandma Faye.  I promise a visit will come soon!
Thinking: I miss my family.  Between Kels and Gma Faye…it’s really got me realizing how much I miss my mom and pops, too.  Damn distance.
Feeling: Anxious. November will be a fun month of Packer Games and Nashville to see a couple of my favorite gals!  HURRY UP FUN!
Opening: a book. After a month or two of a reading hiatus, I’m enjoying being back into the pages of a book.
Giggling: This is just too much:

And in the spirit of Halloween…this:

Wrecking Ball pug…awesome
