  I missed last week, it feels good to be back!

Reading: The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I've seen it on tons of reading lists and a few book clubs, so I was curious to see how it was. I'm only a few chapters in, but really liking it so far.

 

Writing: more blog posts than I have in awhile, yay!

 

Listening: the shows Justin's watching. First it was Bob's Burgers, now Falling Skies.

 

Thinking: how nice our apartment looks with everything arranged and in its place. Home sweet home!

 

Smelling: nothing

 

Wishing: Justin didn't have to go to Pennsylvania for work on Tuesday. He'll be gone for a week and I'm going to miss him :(

 

Hoping: our little goddaughter Amelia doesn't arrive until he gets back, so we can meet her together!

 

Wearing: sweats just kidding! a black and white striped maxi dress :)

 

Loving: all the owls that are under our tv...the majority of my collection is living there now and they make me happy when I see them.

 

Wanting: another weekend off, pretty please?

Needing: to get a lot of wedding planning done this month, only 3 more to go!

 

Feeling: slightly stressed, but happy

 

Clicking: blogs, blogs and more blogs...I'm SO behind!

Linking up with Lauren for this post!

The Sunday Currently #8

I've been such an absent blogger this week, but the good news is we finally got all moved into our new apartment yesterday, so I should have more time now!

  

 

And with that, it's time for the usual Sunday routine!

 

Currently

 

Reading: haven't had time to read much of anything, which makes me sad. Today I'm playing catchup on all the blogs I follow!

 

Writing: my monthly to-do list and schedule of bills...gotta love being an adult.

 

Listening: to footsteps on the floor above me. It's weird transitioning from a house to an apartment again, so many odd noises to get used to.

 

Thinking: that I should probably go shower so I can at least LOOK productive today :)

 

Smelling: air? haha nothing really

 

Wishing: it was a little warmer in here, we're a little below ground level so it's cooler than I'm used to.

 

Hoping: the sun will come out!

 

Wearing: I bet you can guess, sweats and a hoodie. I need to start writing these later in the day, I promise I have actual cute clothes!

 

Loving: the view from our living room window, there's a little courtyard with some pretty plants.

 

Wanting: I could go for some coffee right about now.

 

Needing: some nude colored tights and a few plain white tees for layering so I can wear all my pretty sundresses to work!

 

Feeling: still tired from the move...wake up, self!

 

Clicking: my Bloglovin' feed...I have 299 unread posts!

The Sunday (er, Monday) Currently #7

 A day late, yes, but no matter, here we go!

 

Currently

 

Reading: Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon, and the newest issue of Bust. Forgot how much I love this magazine!

 

Writing: as usual, not a whole lot

 

Listening: at the moment I have Aaliyah in my head. Anyone remember that old song of hers, Are You That Somebody? Classic.

source

 

 Thinking: about how awesome the goodies I got in the mail from Rachel are! Full post to come soon :)

 

Smelling: rain, rain and more rain. Yesterday we had to try three different routes to get home from Justin's parent's house because the roads were flooded. Fail, Mother Nature.

 

Wishing: I had this coming Saturday off work so I could help with the moving process. My dad is coming down, so Justin won't have to do everything by himself, but still.

 

Hoping: our roommate stays upstairs playing his video game all day. I just want time to myself, dangit!

 

Wearing: what has become my day off uniform, sweats and a tank

 

Loving: Iced coffee, I could drink it all day. But then I'd be a crazy, over-caffeinated weirdo talking a mile a minute. So maybe it's better that I don't.

 

Wanting: Wedges. Heels hurt my feet too much and I can actually walk in these! Particularly looking for ones that are cute, not open-toe so I can wear them to work, and not super expensive. Let me know if you spot any!

source

 

Needing: to make myself some lunch, but I haven't yet decided what I want.

 

Feeling: relaxed, and excited to move!

 

Clicking: random articles on Thought Catalog. Seriously, I get sucked into this site for hours just clicking from one article to the next. 

Per usual, linking up with Lauren for this post!

 

 

The Sunday Currently #6

Can I just say how glad I am that it's Sunday? Finally, a day where I don't have much to do!

 

Currently

 

Reading: Promise Not to Tell by Jennifer McMahon. So good, I already have another one of her books for when I finish this one!

 

Writing: nothing, except this post

 

Listening: new favorite this week is Karmin.

 

source

 

Quite possibly the most pop-ish hip hop I've ever heard, and I'm in love. Just happy music, that's been my jam lately!

 

Thinking: about what a strange show Justin is watching. It's called Falling Skies and it has Noah Wyle in it. As a former ER addict, all I see is Dr. Carter. Sorry not sorry.

 

Smelling: fresh air after the rain

 

Wishing: we would have won the lottery last night. Every once in awhile we buy a ticket just for shits and giggles. I wasn't expecting to win, obviously, but it would've been nice.

 

Hoping: that the new registers at work this week aren't going to be a huge pain to learn how to use.

 

Wearing: black yoga pants and a hot pink tank 

 

Loving: Amazon Instant Video, it's like a second Netflix! 

 

Wanting: some new crafty supplies. We got a bunch of cool stuff in the papercrafting department at work and I kind of want all of it. I have to keep telling myself that we're trying to get rid of things, not buy them. But still

 

Needing: to make another eye appointment. Apparently I have an abnormal nerve in my eye and they want to run some tests. Best case scenario, it's nothing. Worst case scenario, it's the beginnings of MS. I know, lovely right? Thanks eye doctor, for your optimism.

 

Feeling: lazy, if anyone wants to come do some packing for me, I won't argue with you :)

 

Clicking: Bloglovin', gotta catch up on my favorites and some new discoveries!

The Sunday Currently #5

I spent all yesterday with my mom and grandma celebrating Mother's Day, so I didn't get a chance to do this. Better late than never, right?!

 

Currently

 

Reading: the newest issue of Glamour on Zinio. I won a free subscription from Lauren and it's pretty awesome!

 

Writing: my to-do list

 

Listening: I've been loving Ellie Goulding's newest album Halcyon, it's been constantly playing in my car for over a week now!

 

Thinking: about how much packing we have to do for the move.

 

Smelling: coffee, one of the best smells ever

 

Wishing: for my bank account to magically double in size...all the bills seem to come in at once

 

Hoping: it'll be a good week at work; we're doing a lot of department resets and it can be stressful at times

 

Wearing: pjs, waiting for my clothes to be done drying so I can shower

 

Loving: all the pretty flowers outside, I forgot how much I love tulips!

 

source

 

Wanting: to be done with my workout for the day, but I gotta stick with it

 

Needing: to make an appointment with the eye doctor. I want contacts again, I'm getting tired of the glasses every day.

 

Feeling: good, relaxed, optimistic

 

Clicking: on all the blogs I need to catch up on!

 

As always, linking up with Siddathornton!

The Sunday Currently #4

It's Sunday, and you know what that means!

 

Yep, it's linkup time!

 

 

Reading: the newest issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I'm still on my decorating ideas kick and drawing inspiration from everywhere I can.

Writing: my to-do list for the week. I keep procrastinating on things that have to be done, and it needs to stop!

Listening: to the birdies chirping in our yard. Spring for the win.

Thinking: about how I need to run to Target later to pick up a few things. I might look at some swimsuits while I'm there, hoping that goes well!

Smelling: hairspray, it's my secret weapon on days I don't feel like doing my hair.

Wishing: there were more hours in the day. So many things I'd like to do, so little time! Also, that I lived somewhere that this was possible:

 

source

Hoping: Justin will be back from his guys weekend early enough that we can have a date day :)

Wearing: truth? I'm still in my pjs...but that will change after this post.

Loving: that the stupid snow we got on Thursday is gone!

Wanting: to be done with my workout for the day, but I know I'll feel better once I do it.

Needing: Lunch. I'm looking at you, Little Caesars.

Feeling: Productive, I'm close to catching up on all my blogs for the week!

Clicking: Etsy, still looking at wedding invite options.

 



The Sunday Currently #3

Good morning everyone! It's morning for 2 more minutes here, so it still counts. ;)

Justin and I getting our picnic on in the park yesterday!

 

 

Reading: the newest issue of Glamour and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

 

Writing: Just this post

 

Listening: to Rules of Engagement, it's Justin's new favorite show and it's pretty hilarious

 

Thinking: about the baby shower I'm going to for my cousin's wife later this afternoon. Time to look at cute baby things!

 

Smelling: nail polish, just painted my nails neon pink

 

Wishing: that I had another day off tomorrow. These nice, sunny days make me want to be outside!

 

Hoping: the books I ordered come in the mail this week...I may have completely nerded out and bought two official Bones books...don't judge me!

 

Wearing: pink polo shirt and a black skirt

 

Loving: my sweet fiance, got to spend the whole weekend with him :)

 

Wanting: I wouldn't say no to a cheeseburger right now, that sounds pretty dang good!

 

Needing: see last answer. Any food really

 

Feeling: relaxed, gonna hang with my mom and sister for part of the day

 

Clicking: the Home board on my Pinterest, I can't wait to decorate our new apartment when we move...so many ideas!



The Sunday Currently #2

It's Sunday again, and time for my weekly linkup with Lauren!

Currently

 

reading: just about done with Sharp Objects! 

 

writing: this post :) 

 

listening: to Justin playing Injustice: Gods Among Us 

 

thinking: about what a relaxing day it's been 

 

smelling: nothing really 

 

wishing: that we could move into our new apartment now. I can't wait for us to live by ourselves!

 

hoping: it'll be a good week at work 

 

wearing: fleece and yoga pants

 

loving: being able to spend the morning at Starbucks with Justin, reading and sipping our coffee

 

wanting: to see flowers outside! In the meantime, I might get some fake ones from work. I'm thinking yellow tulips would be pretty.

 

needing: honestly, I can't think of anything! Other than I would like a few more items of spring clothing, but that's more of a want than a need ;)

 

feeling: content, it's been a good day so far

 

clicking: my usual reading list of blogs...gotta stay caught up! 

The Sunday Currently #1

Linking up with Lauren for this post!

Currently

 reading: Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. I read her newest book, Gone Girl about a month ago and loved it, so I decided to check out her other work. And guess what, this one is just as good!

 

writing:  checks for bills that need paying. The joys of being a full-fledged adult.

 

listening: to Justin's workout playlist. I think I've succeeded in getting him hooked on pop music! 

 

thinking: about how I need to have breakfast for dinner more often. Cheerios and orange juice, don't mind if I do!

 

smelling: rain, it makes everything smell amazing.

 

wishing: that my hair would be highlighted for free, without me having to do anything. I don't trust myself to do it, but I don't want to pay $$ either.

 

hoping: that we find a house to rent soon. The one we wanted didn't work out, so we're back to hunting.

 

wearing: sweats and a hoodie, comfort is key on Sundays. 

 

loving: my new polos from Aero. Haven't had any since high school (that would be 8 years ago, for anyone who's keeping track) but today I suddenly decided I wanted to wear them again!

 

wanting: warm spring weather, not this weird 40 degree stuff.

 

needing: I'm actually pretty content at the moment. Give me some snuggles with my man and I'm a happy lady!

 

feeling: Relaxed. And like I need to get back to my book when I'm done with this.

 

clicking: this site, because I'm a nerd who can literally spend hours reading about urban legends.

Justin and I at lunch on Sunday

 

 

Thinking about- How happy I will be when it's the weekend again. I have to get my taxes done on Saturday (boooring) but then I'll have plenty of time to do whatever! 

Reading- the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris...I wasn't sure I'd like these books, but I've been borrowing them from my friend Amanda and now I'm hooked! I'm on the seventh one (All Together Dead) and don't want the series to end

Listening to- Muse, Lumineers, and maybe a little Taylor Swift now and then.

Looking forward to- Our friend Kristin is having a baby girl in July and Justin and I are going to be godparents! I can't wait to have a little niece to babysit and spoil. It'll be good practice for when we have one of our own in a few years.

Watching- Lately it's been Gilmore Girls. I never actually watched the show when it was on tv, but it's so good! 

Making me happy- how it's finally getting dark outside later, hearing birds singing, neon colors, pretty nail polish, my hair getting longer, Crest whitestrips, reading in the bathtub every night, statement necklaces, ordering things online and cupcakes.
