C U R R E N T L Y
(as written on Saturday evening)
Listening: to lots of stuff on Spotify, which I only recently figured out. Wow, that thing is like magic. One of the songs I discovered there, one that most of you know already, is this one:
.
Eating: some pretty yummy sandwiches the past couple of days. It boggles my mind what a good avocado can do to a sandwich!
Loving: that this album is coming out so soon. Can't wait!
Reading: This weekend was meant for reading I guess, it's like a little mini readathon for me. Today I've been reading Through the Ever Night... a lot. Last night I got a good start on Wolf Hall. And tomorrow I plan to put in much more time on both.... and then there's Monday, a holiday, with nothing planned. More reading ahead!
UPDATE: Finished Through the Ever Night! AWESOME!!
Feeling: after such a lazy day today, I'm feeling quite good and rested. How's that for a different answer!
Watching: I watched a movie on my Kindle called Forks Over Knives. It's about eating plant-based food and whole food, which we all know is good for you, but sort of extreme too. I thought I'd watch this in preparation for the onslaught of nutritional information I'm expecting to get these next few months. I guess I need to know it all, right? Anyway, it's given me stuff to think about.
We finished all the available Parenthood episodes on Netflix. I hear the current season is ending this week, which I hope means that it will show up on Netflix soon. But I'm scared for this season because I've heard a few things... and yeah, I'm scared.
I thought Survivor started this week, but no, it's not until Feb. 13. I'm excited to see some favorites return. I have high hopes it's going to be a good season. Unlike American Idol which as I mentioned in a previous post, I'm not so sure about.
I'm dying to go see Lincoln.
Wanting: hmmmmm.... to go see Lincoln! :)
Exercising: Yes! I managed a couple of days this week! My body cooperated, and it was nice, but this weekend, I feel off again. So.... trying again next week. Ugh.
What's going on at your house currently?
Glad you enjoyed THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT. It's a good one, huh? Can't wait for the last (*sniff*) book to come out.
ReplyDeleteI love that Lumineers song! I have bought the album but I need to listen to it a few more times.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't tried Spotify, even though my nephew swears I'd love it. Some day... :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing Through the Ever Night! Still need to read this one. And love your idea for a Readers Retreat!
I wish I could have a mini read-a-thon. Maybe I can manage some reading today.
ReplyDeletei know why we don't have reader's retreats...we'd all end up TALKING about books and not really reading. But what the heck, let's not tell anyone and schedule a reader's retreat anyway~~~ We'd go home well-fed and with really long TBR lists! Still....I'm ready for one. I have lots of cool books and they are calling to me.
ReplyDeleteMy schedule has been so busy this week that I missed any and all computer time and missed your posts. This was a good day to catch up with you and your posts all made me smile.
Congrats on taking nutrition classes. I studied nutrition and worked for the hospital as a part of the dietetics department before teaching. My mom has her RD and has her PhD in Food Science and Nutrition. Even though I was from a "nutrition-family" I still laugh at how my perceptions change and I saw great disparity in the food industry, the public perception and the media. I think you'll find your study interesting. Good luck with it all.
PS - I loved your photo of the sun on the mountains....gosh it was beautiful. I love to look at it but golly, I am so glad that it has warmed up here!!
I keep hearing about Spotify … I need to try it and not be the last person on earth like I usually am!
ReplyDeleteA reader retreat, I LOVE that idea! :) I really dig that Lumineer's song too!
ReplyDeleteyummy avocado and yummy Lumineers (I also really like their song Stubborn Love).
ReplyDeletehope you have a good week.

I'm anxious to chat about Forks over Knives. I thought it was an interesting show to watch - definitely lots to think about!
