I saw this idea on Annie's blog Turning Pages last week, and thought I'd try it out (AKA I'm totally copying her). Here's what I've been up to lately.
Listening... to Taylor Swift's new album Red. Seriously love it. Particularly songs "I knew you were trouble" and "The Last Time." Also, Christmas music. Yep, it's started!
Watching... Homeland!! SO GOOD. And of course Modern Family, Parks & Rec, and The Office.
Eating... Cheeseburger Pie for dinner last night and lunch today. Mmm mm good. Also apple crisp pie and apple muffins.
Drinking... spiked apple cider. Yes, I'm kind of on an apple kick!
Pining... after Young House Love's new book. I'm dying to browse through all those DIY projects!
Traveling... Claytor Lake in Virginia for a girls weekend a few weeks ago, Charlottesville, VA to go apple picking, Greenville, SC for my grandpa's 80th birthday party, and soon we're off to Charlotte, NC for Thanksgiving!
Wearing... lots of scarves and sweaters, gray skinnies, and Essie's "She's Pampered" on my fingernails (which is more of a deep red than the website shows).
Needing... new running shoes. I really need to go get an evaluation done at a running store to find out the best shoe for me. I have never done this, and since I've been running consistently lately, I think it's time!
Inspired... by this amazing glitter garland. I can't wait to do something similar for my Christmas decor, once I get it all out after Thanksgiving.
Feeling... thankful and excited about my new promotion at work. It kind of just fell into my lap and I'm so grateful to be trying something new and to have more responsibility. Plus, a raise ain't bad either! I'll be starting after Thanksgiving, and I can't wait.
Enjoying... adulthood. I feel like I'm finally where I'm supposed to be and I'm loving this stage of life. I'm content and happy where I am, and that's a glorious feeling.

man i loved this - especially that last tidbit! that is the feeling! and again - congrats on your promotion, that is the best. it feel into your lap rather than others because of your hard work - you should be proud!
ReplyDeletealso - yes, yes and yes to your tv shows. although i haven't started homeland yet, but i think i need to.
spiked apple cider sounds...really good. i'm about to go buy some bourbon for a dish i want to make - i think i know what i'll do with the leftover bourbon ;)
lastly - for the running shoes. when you go buy a new pair and do the whole see what they recommend bring in your old pair of shoes, too. they should be able to see from the tread what your gait is like. always helps me!
This is such a fun idea! :D Maybe I'll have copy you copying Annie sometime ;)

I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying this stage of life - I have been feeling the same way lately! I feel really settled into our life and routine here, and I'm so thankful that I'm enjoying it so much! This was a good idea for a post... I'm going to borrow/steal it sometime :)

Love this little round up! So many things to love... I just bought new Brooks (after a running shoe evaluation, so helpful) and I'm loving them! You should definitely get some new kicks- it makes you feel inspired to run! Well, it makes ME feel inspired to run : ) Also, congrats on the promotion! That's awesome! PS. LOVE Anne of Green Gables... it was one of my favorites growing up : )
