Currently (August 2014)

Yo yo!  Another month, another Current Favourites post.  In the 4+ years I’ve been blogging, I don’t think it’s ever taken me this long to write a single post.  I answered one question, got distracted and then came back a few hours to answer another question…and repeat! Three days later, here goes…

Current Book:  I’ve been reading plenty this month and a nice variety of genres too including Defending Jacob, Where We BelongThe Invention of WingsThe Buddha In Your Mirror.  I know there’s mixed consensus about reading an actual book versus on a Kindle/iPad but I am definitely in favor of the latter…so much more convenient! 

Current Guilty Pleasure: Afternoon naps…okay ‘nap’ should be singular as it only happened once last week but damn, it was an hour well spent!

Current Music: I’ve been listening to Magic!’s Rude on repeat…so much that I’m pretty sure I’m going to be sick of it before the end of the week!

Current Drink: Keepin’ it classy with some H20

Current Nail Color: I’m not too sure of the polish name but it’s an OPI shade of aubergine

Current TV Show: I started Veep over the weekend & had a total binge-watch session yesterday morning…what better way to spend a rainy Sunday! 

Veep

Current Obsession: See above 

Current Need: Is it too soon to say I need a holiday?  More than needing rest or recuperation I just have an itch to see a new place.  One expression that continues to stick with me is Travel is the only thing you spend money on that makes you rich…time to go get rich methinks!

Current Triumph: I’ll share more when the first article is published but guess who’s going to be writing for a couple of magazines 🙂

Current Bane of My Existence:  I know everyone has a love-hate relationship with burpees but I kinda like ‘em.  Turkish get-ups however? FML!

Current Indulgence:  I think I ate my body weight in cookies on Friday, but there’s just something about freshly baked chocolate chip cookies that I can’t resist…especially when they’re from Ellipsis.  It was totally one of those Miranda moments (Sex And the City) where she bakes herself a chocolate cake and starts off with a sliver…and then can’t seem to help herself from going back for more, and more, and then even more.

Current Blessing: THIS pretty much sums it up:

Current Mood: I did a TRX workout earlier and I’m still riding that wave of endorphins…woo!

Current Food: These past few days were full of delicious eats, but I gotta give mention to what was probably my simplest meal of the weekend: Almond butter & banana slices on rye toast with an egg-white omelet.  Pancakes and waffles are great, but sometimes you just want to go back to the basics.

Current Link: Y’all know I am a FRIENDS addict…which means obviously I was thrilled to watch the FRIENDS Female Reunion on Jimmy Kimmel Live from last week.

What’s your current…

…mood?

…food?

…book?

…music?

    1. True story- I couldn’t stand her as Elaine buuuut I love her in Veep! It’s hilarious and because it’s based around politics, you don’t feel so guilty about watching countless episodes ;)!

  1. Writing for magazines?? WOW!! So exciting!!
    And I am with you on Turkish get ups. I am SO bad at them.
    Love the song, just downloaded it!
    I just had a hige plate of endive salad with freshly roasted scallops. Totally sad it’s over now!

  2. Ugh – I am not a huge fan of burpees – but they are good at getting the heart rate up quick – great warm up to a run or workout! Don’t think I’ve ever tried a Turkish get-up – and now I know what I will be doing for the rest of the morning 😉

  3. I can’t wait to hear more about the magazine pieces – congrats lady!!
    …mood? sleepy. but that might have something to do with the fact that I got home at 3 am yesterday…
    …food? working on banana oatmeal right now.
    …book? The Maze Runner! Pretty good so far.
    …music? Shake it Off (still embarrassed by that….) and Bang Bang – Ariana Grande, Jessie J and Nicki Minaj!

  4. Congrats on the magazines! Can’t wait to hear more – pretty sure world domination is next. 🙂

    My current mood is happy – feeling like there’s so much to be thankful for! And as far as food is concerned, I’m craving a huge salad. We’ve been eating out a lot and my body needs/want veggies in a major way!
