Do you hear that?
I hear it too. It’s the sound of the crowd roaring for another Currently post.
Since I don’t want to disappoint, I guess I better get recapping all my current Biz-Ness. Yes, it’s deliberately misspelled; I want you to say it with a little sass. Go ahead and read it again; I’ll wait. There now, much better.
Current Book: I’ve moved past the fourth book in A Song of Ice and Fire series (also know as Game of Thrones), and am now deeply invested in Book Five: A Dance with Dragons. I have a girl crush on Daenerys (who doesn’t?); I envision myself just like her, but without all the hair. I have three cats, and she has three dragons; it’s almost the same thing.
Current Music: Well, let’s just see what comes up next on my iPhone… and the winner is Chiddy Bang’s Opposite of Adult. This is a great song; it’s like the hip hop version of Peter Pan. You can thank me later.
Current Guilty Pleasure: rapping like a fool to Chiddy Bang, all while stubbornly refusing to grow up. Those boys know what’s up.
Current Nail Color: still sticking with my clear strengthener. Ooooh look, shiny.
Current Drink: Coffee; even though it’s currently 7:21 p.m., I need liquid fuel to tackle the this post because these bad boys are long, and coming from me, Ms. Long-Winded Herself (my self-proclaimed Native American name), that’s saying a lot.
Current Food: I am on a full-fledged potato bender. I’m consuming a minimum of one baked potato per week and then some when you factor in the new potatoes, the purple potatoes, the mashed potatoes and even potato pierogies. I know Arman would approve, and considering I just bought a twenty pound bag of spuds at Costco, I don’t see this trend ending any time soon.
Current Favorite Show: I’ve been watching a lot of Gilmore Girls. Again. The old episodes appear daily on some random channel which I can’t recall, although I did set my DVR to record them, so now I have entire seasons to cackle my way through. Those ladies are pretty wordy, which is likely why I love them, in a strictly platonic way…not that’s there’s anything wrong with that.
Current Wish List: I wish my house magically cleaned itself every single day, although I’d totally miss my vacuum, which is something else I have a girl crush on. Get yourself a Dyson, and you’ll see why. The suction is incredible. Yes, I said suction. Yes, I meant it like that.
Current Needs: I want for nothing, which is a pretty good thing in my book.
Current Triumphs: I’m doing a much better job of managing my stress as of late. I’m not gonna lie; that shit can be hard at times and it takes work, but dammit I’m worth it.
Current Bane of Existence: Remember the laundry the Hubby folded almost two weeks ago? Yeah, it’s still chilling in the guest bedroom, just waiting, none to patiently I might add, to be put away. Every time I walk by, it glares at me and mumbles naughty phrases under its breath.

Current Indulgence: Coffee at 7 o’clock at night. I know I’m a wild woman; I’ll try to contain myself.
Current Blessing: I learned the Hubby’s next school break, which can’t come soon enough, is an extra two weeks long, which means I will have him in my clutches for three whole weeks. I plan to affix myself to his left leg. It should be a good time for all parties involved, his leg included.
Current Outfit: Gray sweat pants with some sexy ass socks. Bam.
Current Excitement: my new Ravioli Maker. My family found it at a garage sale and gifted it to me. I’m super excited to take this baby for a test run.
Current Link: My girlfriend Liz sent me this, and I’m totally digging it. It’s basically a What I Ate Wednesday from all around the world.

Current Mood: I’m a little giddy because in the near future I’m going to be sharing This Recipe, with all of you.
See, now you’re giddy too. Am I right? Of course I am.
What’s currently going on in your world? Answer any of the questions above or simply shoot the shit if that’s your thang. Yes, deliberately misspelled. I want you to say it with some twang.
The cat picture? Priceless, as is a couple extra weeks with the husband. As for my world, it’s still cold and frozen so I’m currently cursing meteorologists and anyone experiencing real spring weather.
We’re experiencing sunny and a balmy 41 degrees today so I’m right there with you. Down with the weather!
I currently have one of these posts scheduled for Friday, but I can tell you that I’m VERY excited about the fact that the next season of GoT starts this Sunday, and that I don’t know if I would wish for my house to magically clean itself because I would miss the process — I find it kind of relaxing. Unless we’re talking bathrooms… those I wouldn’t mind having on auto-clean. Also… I need more sleep… like in the worst way 😯
I remember you telling me that about cleaning so I’d like to make you an offer: feel free to come on over and clean anytime. I’m all about your health and allowing you to fully relax and unwind. I’ll even save some dust bunnies for you.
OMFG I am dying at that photo of you up top with the pussycat. SO GOOD. I love when people do crazy shit like that, because I would have done the same. I just potatoes…sososo much and now I want a giant one on a plate with veggies surrounding it like a mote. MAKE ME RAVIOLI!?!
Yes. Yes. and Yes! Cats, potatoes and raviolis. If you ever make your way to Cleveland, I will make some raviolis for you. Then we’ll share them with Max.
I feel I may need a ravioli maker. That’s all.
Everyone should have a ravioli maker. 🙂
Garage sale?…..a little revisionist history no doubt. Try Williams Sonoma sale!
My messenger birdie might have gotten things a little confused. I LOVE IT though so thank you very much.
Ahhh those potatoes are gorg, gorg, gorg! And give me an hours notice before you make some ravioli and I can make to your place juuuust in time.
Not a problem. I can do that.
Currently?
Feeling victorious at scoring a HBO GO password from an unnamed source (go f*%k yourself, Comcast) so I can watch GoT for free, seeing as how we cut the cord a month ago from cable.
I seriously would crawl up one side of Jamie Lannister and down the other. I am so excited for Sunday.
Crawl up one side of Jamie Lannister and down the other. I really need to use that line sometime!!! You make me laugh; HARD.
I used to be a programming director at my college’s radio station, and someone accidentally played a rap song with a swear word over the air…resulting in yours truly having to re-listen to every.single rap/hip-hop CD in our station’s collection to check for language. Keep in mind that anyone can submit a demo to a radio station. While most of the CDs were absolutely dreadful, I happily discovered Chiddy Bang in the process.
My long-winded way of saying, hey, I like Chiddy Bang too.
Thank you for saying that. Finally someone who can appreciate a little Chiddy Bang. That’s my song right there.
Gurrrrrl, it’s been TOO long since we’ve shot the shit! This needs to happen…over pierogies and a bottle of wine…though I will most definitely be pacing myself so as not to repeat the epic post-Atlanta hangover of 2014! Lol! And well, now that I’ve made public my love for homemade pasta, I may even let you talk me into some ravioli…because seriously, pasta filled with CHEESE can never be a bad thing, right? PS, I’ll bring my sexy snowman socks! 😉
I think it’s funny how you and Arman are plowing down the potato trees (just go with it) lately…I love me some spuds, but I have to admit, I get tired of the little buggers after a few servings a week. Sweet potatoes on the other hand? Well, since coming back from Atlanta, I’ve had at least 1/2 of one a day. That doesn’t seem like much but that’s because you haven’t seen the size of these things! Yep, that’s what she said!
I would say we’re thoroughly caught up now. 😉
I will make you ravioli only if you wear the snowman socks.
I just stuck 6 potatoes in the oven. I might have a problem. 😉
Potatoes are like the world’s greatest food, you can do so much with the little spuds and they are so versatile. Love them!
I whole heartedly agree! Love me some spuds.
IS IT SUNDAY YET?!?!? CANNOT WAIT. Discovered my NEW potatoes had growths all over them. Messaged arman and he told me to eat them anyway. I hope I don’t die!
Don’t talk about it!! I won’t be able to watch until next Friday when the Hubby comes back home so until then I’m going to have to hide away and avoid the internet. Eek.
Arman’s right. Just pop those suckers off and they’ll be fine.
damn you and your sneak peek recipes. You better serve coffee with this and then we can chiddy chiddy bang bang
I would chiddy bang with you any day of the week and twice on Tuesdays.
‘well there once was a girl and…’ Oh wrong Chiddy bang song. And Game of Thrones….I am yet to get on that bandwagon. Seeing as I’m in the market for a new TV series- I might have to give it a go.
I loved the potato picture you sent me- probably because I was eating them for breakfast upon receiving. You know our love for cauliflower? Turns out they are part of the nightshade family which POTATOES are too. Coincidence?
I’m not at all surprised, and I even nabbed a giant bag of cauliflower at Costco as well. I’m sure it’s countless pounds, and I’m also sure I’ll have no troubles eating it all. 🙂
The socks, the GoT selfie (you totally look just like Daenerys!) and the extra long break with the hubby coming up? Even if you had the vacuum with all the suction in the world I don’t think there could be anything happier about this post, and I love all the positivity 🙂
And that Huff Post video is amazing!
I thought the Huffington Post link was incredible too.
Thanks love.
