Currently {March}

This post is a little late. My plan was to post a Currently update each month on the first week of the month.  I’m sure that would have worked had I remembered to add that to my planner! I guess we’ll check in mid-month each month for now on. 🙂 Confession this post is a day late. I was supposed to schedule this post to go live YESTERDAY.

Thinking {Open tabs}

Tab 1 The show Catfish is fascinating in a sad “is this real life” kind of way. I mean, obviously the people that get on the show know there’s something not right but yet it takes them YEARS to finally want to seek help in meeting their lover that they’ve never met in real life or via a video chat.

Tab 2 Do you think I’m Catfishing you? I know there’s been questions about my “real name” Mrs. AOK is kind of my real name. My real life initials are AOK I added the K when I got married to my hubby making me MRS. AOK. 🙂  I do not expect you to call me Mrs. AOK, call me Dean. Dean? Yes, Dean. Dean is my nickname that close friends and family call me.  (It’s short for my first name.) We’re all friends here, so you can call me Dean. 🙂 (And if you were wondering… yes I have shown my face a lot and on live video. )

Tab 3 I hope my kids never get Catfished. Stupid internet. (Just kidding, internet, I love you.) But really there’s a lot of ugly and lies on the internet…

Tab 4 I hate typing on my iPad!!

New Tabs… because new day.

Tab 1  I wonder if my son caught a leprechaun, he was so excited to go to school and find out if his trap worked.

Tab 2  What am I making for dinner?

Tab 3  I really need to hurry up.

Creating

I’ve been painting a lot lately..

Not the prettiest picture, but a pretty awesome memory. ? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A family that paints together, stays together. ???? #sundayfunday

Before the power went out, and before working out in the dark and a basketball game with my men, there was a slight House of Cards binge with a side of watercoloring. ************************** I’m guessing there will be board games in our future, and while we still have natural light, perhaps there will be a little more painting. ********************************* Psst… Have you checked out my Thank You Notes on my blog?

I’m also working on something for tomorrow. I sure hope it comes out the way it looks in my brain…

Listening/Watching

If you guessed Catfish you’re right! I’m not feeling well, so I decided to type this up from the couch on my iPad. I would love to watch a few episodes of House of Cards but I’m watching those with my honey.

Reading

Drawing Blood (<-affiliate link)

From the book:

Art was my dearest friend.
To draw was trouble and safety, adventure and freedom.
In that four-cornered kingdom of paper, I lived as I pleased.
This is the story of a girl and her sketchbook.

Planning

I really need to start planning things for the kids’ spring break. I have nothing planned. However, nothing does sound good. I have a few posts planned, now I most execute! Tomorrow I plan to share some Thank You Notes!

Encouraging

I encourage you to join me for Thank You Notes tomorrow. Write a few thank you notes and link them up with me.

I encourage you to come by tomorrow to check out a guest post I did for Tanya. 🙂

:::UPDATE:::

I encourage you to check out my post on Tanya’s blog here.

I also want to encourage you to let a woman who has inspired you know she’s done so.

 

I encourage you to love big!!

xoxo

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

 

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. – Charles Dickens •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Happy March, m’friends! This quote pretty much explains my day here in the #PNW. Jennifer Garner will tell you this quote fits Ben perfectly. Did you read her article in Vanity Fair or online elsewhere… ?
