currently: 9.13.12

i started this post on the 6th.. 7 days later.. here is what's current :)

eating: my weight in tomatoes & salad. it's safe to say i'm currently obsessed.

(egg whites & fresh roma tomatoes with a sprinkle of fresh grated parm cheese)

drinking: coffee. i figure as long as i can keep the sugar out, and the milk/coconut milk to a minimum, what's the harm in treating myself.

listening: the lumineers. i love their song 'hey ho'. i am seriously head over heels bonkers not only with the song, but with the video. it's magic. it's my fall anthem.



reading: the stephanie plum series by janet evanovich. and LOVING them. i'm on #7. i made the hubs watch the movie with me tuesday night. so does NOT do the book justice. i love katherine heigl as stephanie, but the movie lacked.. something. and the guy who plays morelli. oh WOW.

dreaming: about a new plan/career/path. it's not something i've ever thought about before, and i'm sort of excited about it. i'm hoping it all works out, and i have the drive to follow through.

loving: this autumn leaves candle from bath & body works the bf gave me. she said she didn't like the smell. i think she's crazy, but i'm happy her loss is my gain :)

enjoying: having my little slice of quiet time back during the day. dude went back to school 3 weeks ago, and the babe is back to his napping routine. thank you thank you!

wanting: an iphone. it's so selfish, and my phone works fine... but i still want it. (and have for oh.. 5 years or however long the darn things been out!)

anticipating: october. if you've been around here long enough, you know i love the ENTIRE month. craft shows, carnivals, pumpkin patches, corn mazes. HALLOWEEN. and... ehem.. my birthday! :) plus american horror story comes back on AND so does vampire diaries. oh.. and soccer has started up again.. and i somehow thought it was a good idea to volunteer as team mom. crazy. crazy. but i'm excited for the new season & nervous about the new age group!

learning: to embrace the ebb & flow. of life. creativity. of my own emotions. learning to manage my downs & figure out what gets me back to the ups.

feeling: proud of myself despite small set backs. i am down 45lbs & 4 sizes since april 1. i currently weigh less than i did before the babe was born, and i'm only 15lbs shy of my pre-dude weight. i CAN do this.

celebrating:the babe turned two sunday. TWO! where has my baby gone. it was a small & low key party. my grand party plans of a bounce house & mickey everywhere fizzled out when he fractured his clavicle last month. i just rolled with the punches, and was still happy with how everything turned out.

hope you have a great weekend! :)
