Currently {February}

It has been quite a while since I’ve shared a Currently post. I think that whole move from one side of the country to the other side kind of threw me off my blogging schedule. I’m trying to regain a little more structure here. I want to plant myself in my new surroundings and flourish. 😉 However, I may ask for your help in the coming weeks. If I create a blog survey would you be willing to fill it out? I want to know what you like or …. don’t like. Anyway, let’s get back to why you’re here, here’s what I’m up to currently. 🙂

Currently| February

Thinking: Okay, I have a cyclone of thoughts going off in my brain right now. They do not necessarily correspond with one another, but that’s me: open tabs for days!

Tab 1: Don’t forget you have bleach on the counters. BE CAREFUL! Side note: We have tiled counters, I hate them. So, I bleach the grout. Reminding myself this is not our forever home.

Tab 2: You have to order birthday presents!! My daughter turns 14 this month!!

Tab 3: Phone case! You’ll see, it’s a creative post coming soon. 😉

Tab 4: Why is everyone being so ugly about the Iowa Caucus? And more importantly why is there debate about a candidate’s gender not being a big deal?  I’m an undecided voter. I want to gather all the facts to see which candidate closest aligns to my ethos.  I’m not sold on anyone quite yet. However, I do think it’s pretty awesome that my girls and all little girls can see that women can run for president. I love that there are two women putting themselves out there (I wish they wouldn’t get catty. pssst…  Ladies, that’s what they want us to do). I think it is a huge deal that a woman won in the Iowa Caucus. For people (and more importantly women) not to think so solely on the basis of who that woman is, kind of mind boggles me. We don’t have to like everyone, we don’t even have to respect them, but when someone breaks a glass ceiling for us as women- BRAVO!

Tab 5: Cam Newton’s pants. Yay or Nay?

I have more tabs, they’ll close, reopen, and then I’ll add more…

Creating: Well, as I mentioned, I’ll have a post with a creative spin coming soon. I also have a DIY post coming up for Touched Magazine (I’m really tempted to give y’all a sneak peek) Okay, maybe a little something..

I’m also going to TRY to stick with the #DNDChallenge that Dawn Nicole has created. Add another tab: Must create something for today’s prompt.

I’ve been watercoloring like crazy over here. 🙂

Listening: I’m currently listening to the sounds of my dryer and the tick tick tick tickety tick of my dogs paws on the wood floor. However, in the last few days I’ve listened to this song a lot:

Opened tab: I looked up this song while typing this up:

Which then led me to listen to this song:

Reading: Well… I just finished The Joy Luck Club and a book about writing. So, I need a new book soon! Suggestions?

I’m always reading blogs, lots of them!

Planning:

I have a few posts lined up. Okay, I have them planned. 😀

My daughter turns 14 this month, so I plan on celebrating 14 years of motherhood to my amazing teen!!

*It should be noted that I had planned to post this yesterday. I never got around to adding images… eh it happens..

Loving: Life.

Encouraging: I’m encouraging you to join me for Thank You Notes each Friday!
