Life Lately

After I had Lucy last year, I decided that blogging was just not something that I could commit to with the same voracity I used to (even though that was still minimal compared to many blogs). However, I still like connecting with other people, and I like taking some time each week to document a bit of what we've been up to. Lately, I have definitely only really been blogging about books with an occasional other post here and there. So today I want to have a bit of a "catch up" post so that I can look back on this in a few months and remember where we are at right now.

(I'm also working harder at keeping a personal journal because you just can't share EVERYTHING on the internet ;)).

My first finished "adult colouring" page...thinking I'll stick with my day job but it's pretty! haha

CURRENTLY... 

READING: My True Love Gave to Me (short stories by various authors). I'm working through my Fall list with some extras added in!

ANTICIPATING: Thanksgiving with my family, Christmas when my sister has her first baby and my brother visits!!!, My first 10K race in 6 years on October 25, seeing The Martian in theaters sometime in the next few weeks, Halloween with our girls!

CRAVING: Something with pumpkin in it...I think I have to do some baking this weekend!

LONGING FOR: A quiet night or two away with Brian (we're working on it!)

MISSING: How easy it was to form friendships in my early 20s and single days. As much as I love our life, it can be hard to schedule time with friends and I am really missing those moments these days.

WORKING ON: Increasing my running - training for that 10K race!

LISTENING TO:

I love this song.

GRATEFUL FOR: My beautiful girls, my wonderful husband, my "I love Mondays" yoga class :), my job

NEEDING TO: Keep organizing our house and purging unnecessary items (plan for tonight: go through ALL of the kids books...there are about 250 of them?!)...plan a solid October meal plan and grocery budget (today's job!)

RECOMMENDING: A Couple Things podcast.

LAUGHING AT: These people who definitely didn't get the job.

I'll be back tomorrow with some October goals to share :)

Happy Wednesday!!
