... in bed, sick. After managing to stay healthy for a week after Mark came down with a cold, I seem to have caught the same bug. I have about four different heartier blog posts I want to write, but I seem to only have enough brain power to put together this "Currently" post (and watch the Katy Perry documentary-- no shame).
... reading "Tiny Beautiful Things" by Cheryl Strayed and "It Chooses You" by Miranda July. I just finished "Sisterland," which I enjoyed because I like Curtis Sittenfeld's writing, but I didn't love the story.
... adoring my baby white pumpkins from Trader Joe's. $0.70 for a great deal of joy :)
... watching nothing. Homeland season 3 is disappointing me; there's a giant hole in my heart where Breaking Bad used to be; and 100% of the new fall shows seem awful. Is there anything on TV (or Netflix) worth watching? (Edited to add: I forgot I do regularly watch and love Modern Family and Parks & Rec, but I still feel in need of suggestions.)
... listening to the new HAIM and Lorde albums on repeat.
... looking for new blogs to read. Wanted: Good writing and/or good photography, honest and authentic, little to no sponsored posts/affiliate linking, real life. Bonus: A sense of humor and creativity.
... eating lots of pumpkin-flavored goodies, much to my surprise. I've expressed my distaste for Pumpkin Spice Lattes in the past (not because I'm rebelling against their popularity-- though the fanaticism over them IS ridiculous, I'm just more of a salted caramel girl myself) and I ABHOR pumpkin pie. And yet, I can't stop buying pumpkin-flavored products, especially from Trader Joe's. I've got pumpkin croissants for breakfast, honey-roasted pumpkin ravioli for dinner, and pumpkin-spice rooibos tea (from Fresh Market, not TJ's).
... thinking about life choices.
... planning to DIY my own mala necklace. As much as I love Tiny Devotions malas beads, they are just too much money for me to spend right now. So I'm taking matters into my own hands and making one (or even two, since I have a set of Tibetan seed beads and a set of sandalwood beads on order).
... loving my new mason jar tumbler from The Mason Bar Company. My friend Sarah let me know that they were having a 30% off sale recently, so I ordered two lids (regular and wide-mouth) and straws (green and purple) to turn a few of my mason jars into handy to-go cups. They're awesome.
... dreaming of being healthy again, so I can get outside for fall walks and crisp air.
i recently started watching "scandal" on netflix and am obsessed.
ReplyDeletealso pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting is my favorite.
Those white pumpkins are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI watched the first two seasons of Call the Midwife on Netflix and loved it.
Not sure if these are new to you, but a couple of my favorite blogs are Fieldguided and Christina Rosalie.
Hope you feel better! Happy Fall. :-)
Oh, a white pumpkin. Completely new fall possibilities :) I hope you'll be feeling better soon.
