05/30/14 | assorted, Life Update

Because my brain is on overload right now and I am so indecisive about which of my 102 draft posts should get the push into the land of published thoughts I am copying an idea from one of my favorites, Erin, for today.  Besides actually becoming friends with bloggers in real life I am thankful for other people who come up with good ideas and do not mind when I shamelessly emulate.  So without further ado, my current status on this last Friday of May:

Making: A list of items of items that I still need to pick up for my new apartment.

Cooking: Nothing.  I am overdue for a trip to the grocery store but at the same time I am really trying to clear the cabinets before my move.

Drinking: Starbucks Venti Green Iced Tea – no water, no sugar – and lots of green juice.

Reading: Just finished Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Very odd, definitely not my type of book.

Wanting: It to be the weekend already.

Looking: At apartments. Very small apartments.

Playing: 2048 – I am ashamed to admit that after weeks of trying I still have not beat the game.

Wasting:  Time on Sporcle and BuzzFeed.  Those two sites are my downfall.

Wishing: There was a Target close to my apartment.

Enjoying:  Wearing dresses with out tights – they have been banished until fall.

Waiting: For my best friend to get here from England – she arrives Saturday morning, yay!

Liking: WordPress so far, especially the SEO plugins.

Wondering:  How I did not know the part of eyeglasses that are called the temple.

 

Eyeglasses-Parts

Loving: That I still can use my college ID for student discounts.

Hoping:  The NYC weather finally gets the memo and stays warm.

Marveling: At how small the world is – I found out two of the most unlikely people are friends.

Smelling: Clean sheets.

Wearing:  This mitered stripe keyhole dress from LOFT and obsessing over how soft it is!

Following: Rules very rarely.

Listening:  Luke Bryan’s  That’s My Kind Of Night.  No idea why.  It is stuck in my head and thus it is on repeat at work.

Noticing: All of the Paul Walker posts on social media – I can not believe it has been six months since he passed.

Knowing: I need to get the ball rolling on my personal Google AdWords certification.

Thinking: I have laundry to do.

Feeling: The remnants of my Memorial Day sunburn.

Giggling:  Over this video that is going viral.  So adorable.

Bookmarking: Amazing outfits that Blake Lively has worn as she is my next Style Icon.

Needing: To order new blog business cards with my photo on them.

Opening: The packaging on new workout socks – they make all the difference!

 

So there you have it, a quick life update in not so many words.  Even though this was a short week it certainly felt like it never ended.  Here’s to a great weekend!

    this is a super cute post, I might have to copy, although most of the things I don’t have time to do, so it would just be blank, hehe. I JUST discovered 2048 last night, obsessed, it’s unhealthy really.
