The holidays are over and so far this week I’ve gone to the
gym twice, made spaghetti squash for dinner and this is my second—read it,
second!—post of the week. I think I’m doing well with those good ole
resolutions, no?
Anyway, I already took stock of the old year, so here’s a
look at the right now:
Cooking: This Mediterranean
chicken. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t great either, honestly. I left out the
artichokes, since I didn’t have them, so maybe that would have made a
difference?
Drinking:
Peppermint tea. Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean everything has
to go with it.
Reading: All the
Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Making: Actual use
of my planner. It’s only a week, so I’m pretty sure I’m getting ahead of myself
on this one, but it’s better than the usual 3 days I stick it out every other
year.
Wanting: A nap
Looking: Up
flights to Nashville and New Orleans. We have no plans to go to either of these
places as of right now, but you know, why not.
Deciding: To start
an Instagram account for this site. Follow here!
Wondering: What
it’s going to be like to fly with a 15-month old. Last time Luca was on an
airplane he was 5 months old and basically slept and ate the entire time. We’re
headed to St. Thomas in a few weeks and I’m pretty sure this time is going to
be a totally different story.
Questioning:
Everything, as usual.
Wishing: Someone
would come over and take down and then individually wrap all these Christmas
ornaments so I don’t have to
Enjoying: Learning to use my new camera. Here's to taking lots more non-iphone pics in 2016.
Considering: New
tiles for this bathroom
renovation
Watching: Parks
and Rec. We’re on season 3 right now and I know I’m way way way late to the
party on this one, but man it’s so good.
Hoping: That my
best friend has the easiest delivery ever—baby Kiki is due in just a couple
weeks!
Smelling: Clean
laundry
Wearing: The exact
same thing I was wearing last month
Knowing: That even
baby steps matter
Thinking: About
what one wears to a Knicks game. Sneakers? Boots? A t-shirt? Is it weird that
I’m even thinking about it?
Admiring: People
who give off positive vibes. Those people that you’re just drawn to, and you’re
not really sure why. Those are the best kinds of people.
Loving: How much
Luca is understanding these days. Do you want milk? Can you bring me your Peppa
Pig book? Where’s your sippy cup? He totally understands all of it and
seriously, this whole kid thing just keeps getting better and better.
Getting: (Got?) My
hair cut, finally. Growing out a pixie cut is NO JOKE. It’s the worst,
actually, but this new cut makes me feel like a person again.
Sorting: Through
photos, in hopes that it’ll inspire me to actually make a photo book. Yea right.
Snacking: On
pistachios. Look
how many you can have!
Bookmarking: This
article on why moms feel they need to be perfect. While I haven’t had to deal
with the homemade costume pressure per say, so much of it rings true in terms
of what we feel we “should” be doing versus what we actually want to do.
Feeling: Like I
can do this.
