Friday Favorites: Currently

(via)

Y’all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a currently, so I figured I’d loop you in on what’s been going on through a Currently post.  I started teaching online and took on more and more responsibility with that role.  So, I’m back to being in over my head some days.  Thanks for bearing with me for skipping a couple of days posts and catching up on blog reading!

So here’s what’s been going on:

Making

Plans for our Christmas trip & my 30th birthday extravaganza

Eating

All the candy corn & peanuts.

Drinking

La Croix, Prosecco, but starting to transition to red wine.  Any recommendations?  I generally lean towards Malbecs.

Reading

Student work.  I have a pile of magazines and blogs to finish reading this weekend!

Listening To

Songs that make me nostalgic for college.  I always get this feeling in the fall.  I’ve been listening to Dave Matthews Band Pandora on repeat.

Watching

Quantico, Madame Secretary, This is Us, and the debates!

Looking

For the perfect Fall outfit

Wanting

A day where I can relax.

Enjoying

All the fall scenes, like this amazing pumpkin patch.

Waiting

To purchase a few big items.  I’m in the market for a new laptop.  Any recommendations?

Wondering

If I’m the only one who is having (or had) mild freakouts before turning 30?  I’ll be 30 in a little over 3 months, and I’m not gonna lie… it’s a little scary.

Loving

This nail polish color

Needing

A pedicure!

Wearing

This perfume, this shirt on repeat*, this necklace*, and this nail polish

Smelling

This candle!

Noticing

That DG and I have lived in our house for almost 5 years, but we have a lot of half finished projects.

Knowing

I should start saying no more often, but I have major FOMO.

Laughing

At Winston & Gizmo.  Always.  These dudes are the best.   Side note: they were having to stay in their kennels during the day because of Gizmo’s anxiety.  Winston went from staying out 24/7 to having to be crated.  However, the’ve been staying out for the past week and have done great and they’re both even happier.

Daydreaming

About college and how much I enjoyed my time in Greenville.  I always miss eastern NC during this time.  Proof here.

Feeling

Proud of my university.  Our country is going through tumultous times right now, but change doesn’t happen without conversation.   I’m proud that ECU is bringing some crucial conversations to the forefront.  Isn’t it a great country we live in that we have such freedom to speak out about our beliefs?  Let’s not ever take that for granted.

So that’s it.  That’s what’s up.  We were supposed to go to the beach this weekend for a little getaway, but Hurricane Matthew had different plans for us.  So, we’ll stay around here and try to check off some of those partially completed projects on our to-do lists.

Have a great weekend, and stay safe!

P.S. Did you catch this week’s posts?  Here’s some motivation for your Mondays, an olive dress with elbow patches & a vest, and a layering outfit.
