Well hellllllo there, Mr. May.
Wouldn’t it be cool, and not at all mental, if I had some kind of pin up calendar, and I talked to it on a daily basis? We could pretend May is the month for sexy pharmacists. That sounds like a great plan to me. Then again, I like living in my own little fantasy world, although every so often, I need to step outside of that realm and see what’s currently going down in the real one. Yep, it’s time for another Currently post; talk about a smooth transition. Some days I impress even myself.
Let’s play.
Current Book: Same as last month: still reading the fifth book in A Song of Ice and Fire series (also known as Game of Thrones): A Dance with Dragons. Since the newest season just kicked off on HBO last month, I feel like I’m in a battle against the clock. Who will finish first? Will it be our plucky heroine, the #vanillagorilla herself, or the big bad cable show? Stay tuned to find out.
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! Alright not really. Or maybe. ‘Eh. Read at your own peril.
Current Music: We’re going to do another random pick. Let’s hit shuffle on the trusty old iPhone and see what comes up next. Round and round and round she goes, where she’ll stop, nobody knows…..and the winner is Eric Carmen, Make Me Lose Control. I should probably be embarrassed by this one. I’m not. Instead, I’m actually singing because I know ALL the words.
Current Guilty Pleasure: skipping out on my own Week in Review posts lately. Shhh, it’ll be our little secret.
Current Nail Color: still rocking the clear strengthener. I should probably strike this question from the list because it’s not going to change anytime soon, or really ever.
Current Drink: coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, cofffffeeeeeeeeee. Alright it was just one cup, but it was extra caffeinated.
(source)
Current Food: I’m on a pesto kick. In the past few weeks, I’ve eaten pesto pasta, a pesto pizza, pesto infused scrambled eggs, and pesto mashed potatoes. Pretty soon I’m going to start injecting the stuff; it’ll be easier that way. Plus there’s oil in there, which means it must be great for my skin or something.
The Hubby is scared of my green spuds; I can’t imagine why.
Current Favorite Show: Um hello, Game of Thrones. Did you not read about my battle royale (with cheese) against HBO. Please say that in your best Samuel Jackson voice.
Current Wish List: I wish I had another one or four of these. No explanation necessary.
Current Needs: I need this guy to stop bringing me presents. Last night, he gifted me a dead squirrel, which is a bit extreme, even for him. I’m not sure whether I should be proud or appalled.
Current Triumphs: I came in second place in the fitness challenge at my gym. They gave me free stuff. #vanillagorilla.
Look Ma, I got a leg muscle! I’m not sure when he came to the party, but he’s welcome to stay. You should also know photo gymnastics occurred in order for me to get this shot.
Current Bane of Existence: once a month I work extra hours in the dead of the night, and yep you guessed it, it was last night. I pulled a midnight to two-thirty shift and I’ll be working a full day on top of it today. Here’s to me being passed out on the couch by 8:30 tonight. Friday night’s are my specialty (cough, cough).
Current Indulgence: More snacky lunches at the office. Kalamata olives, veggies, hummus, cheese, crackers and strawberries. Bliss, especially with background flowers.
Current Blessing: having my partner in crime back for the foreseeable future. While the Hubby has one more quarter of school left this year, he’ll be doing it right here at home in Cleveland (♫ doing it, doing it, and doing it well ♫) and apparently to the lyrics of L.L. Hey, at least I didn’t go all R. Kelly on you or him. Alright maybe I went R. Kelly on him.
Current Outfit: sweat pants, a sweat shirt and some socks because I roll like a baller when I’m at home.
Current Excitement: an upcoming vacation to see the family. The last time we got together was way back in December, so we’re long overdue. They might make me go for a run.
Current Link: shockingly I’ve only got two open, although it’s still early yet. I was reading this post, which inspired me to go back and read my own post on the same topic last year. Now I’m super excited for strawberries. Again.
Current Mood: a little sleep deprived (is that even a mood? Probably not. Point further proven), a little caffeinated (again, not a mood) and a lot excited because it’s Friday which means today, I’m going farmers marketing. ♫ Doo Dah Doo Dah. ♫ Now if only they had strawberries.
Any exciting weekend plans or will you be passed out on the couch tonight at 8:30 too? Join the fun, and answer any of the current questions above? Current Book? Current Excitement? Current Bane of your Existence?

Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
May 2, 2014 at 8:49 AMI was all excited to do a Currently post and then double checked and I had published one maybe two weeks before. Clearly this is a sign I just want to use my blog to talk about random things I like regardless of if they have anything to do with food. New blog: The Smart Kvetch-in’? [Although I guess that has negative connotations. And I’m not Jewish.]
Glad you read my blog. Now, and just in general.

May 3, 2014 at 11:31 AMI think you should talk about random things. I do it all the time. 😉 Um hello, Week in Review.
By the way, they had strawberries at the farmers market yesterday. I bought an entire flat of plants for $1. Talk about irony and fate colliding. It was meant to be apparently.

May 2, 2014 at 10:41 AMSexy pharmacist calendar, hehehe…
And I am with you on the pesto obsession. I’ve never made green taters before though, going to have to try that!
Finally, Pulp Fiction references are always enjoyed. Especially on a Friday. Happy weekend to you!
Meghan says
May 6, 2014 at 11:09 AMPulp Fiction references for the win!!
caren says
May 2, 2014 at 11:36 AMYeah for leg muscles and local hubbies!!
Typically I would be joining you on the couch at 8:30 on a friday, but this weekend I’m off to sonoma to chase drink wine and chase down wildebeests and such. True story.

Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
May 2, 2014 at 12:17 PMAs much as I adore them, I have to admit that the GoT books are a pain in the ass to get through. I think I read the first one in less than a week, but after that? Progressively longer, and longer, and loooooonger. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t even remember what happened in what book anymore, so thank god for HBO 😆 And I plan to be passed out at exactly 8:37 this evening, which works nicely since my brain refuses to let me sleep in… even on the weekends 🙁
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. oil pulling 101 – the what, why, and how .
Meghan says
May 3, 2014 at 11:33 AMMe too. I’m so confused about what happened in what book and when. Information overload.
I made it until 10:30 last night. I’m still in shock. I hope you got some good sleep last night though.

Arman @ thebigmansworld says
May 3, 2014 at 5:49 AMOur Friday nights sounded similar….until the neighbours decided to start band practice. at 9pm. Then they begun speaking in English accents.
All this GoT talk…..on blogland, at work, at the supermarket, in my dreams….I need to get onto it!
Current bane of my existence….working out a blogging schedule. Gah!

May 3, 2014 at 11:35 AMI say bag the blogging schedule. I’ve tried to do one a ton of times now, and I finally realized it doesn’t work for me. My writing is generally spur of the moment and to try and force it ahead of time makes it fall flat. Go with what works for you. Hmm, maybe I should incorporate this theme into Monday’s WIR post.
Get on the GoT train! Stat!

May 3, 2014 at 8:03 PMi hope you are currently caught up on sleep after that night. I would fall asleep at work. And for some reason, i just can’t get into the kindle reading. need pages to turn. Am i weird?

May 6, 2014 at 11:13 AMSo I was totally caught up on sleep until I stayed out until 3 a.m. last night like a twenty something. I’m totally gonna need a nap today.
Not weird at all. I resisted the Kindle for years until someone actually bought it for me as a gift. Now I love it.
Sarah Pie says
May 3, 2014 at 9:54 PMSleep deprived and caffeinated sounds like a fantastic mood! Those books have been on my “to-read” list for so long, I have such a binge planned as soon as school is done and I have no reason NOT to stay up all night with a book 🙂
So glad to hear that hubby is back home for the foreseeable future, though if he’s going to hate on your green taters you could always just send them my way!
Meghan says
May 6, 2014 at 11:17 AMHe’s no longer hating on the green taters.
The books are really long so be prepared to spend many a night awake reading.
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats says
May 4, 2014 at 7:47 PMYour cat is just too cute. Not good about the presents though 😉
My best friend is obsessed with the Game of Thrones books, I haven’t tried reading them yet but I really should try.
I hope you’ve caught up on sleep now! I had a terrible night’s sleep last night so I can totally relate.

I love the GoT books, but damn are they long.

New York is home. Buffalo, specifically. It’s close enough I can drive there, although I don’t do it often enough.
Madison @ Eating for Balance says
May 7, 2014 at 5:39 PMI think I am going to officially try to tackle GoT this summer. Too serious for reading during school. Ha. Fluffy, light only for the remainder of this week 🙂
How could anyone not love green spuds? Those pesto mashed potatoes look thick and amazing. I read an article yesterday about kids blaming Michelle Obama for unfilling/unappealing lunch meals. I can only imagine how they would react to green mashed potatoes. Picky. Picky.
TV Shows – Chicago PD and whatever random seasons of shows I can find on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon. I officially finished Season 3 of Veronica Mars a few weeks ago and we watched the movie this past Saturday.

May 8, 2014 at 8:57 AMThe Hubby and I are talking about getting into a new show while he’s home: we’re thinking Breaking Bad or Walking Dead. Very different from my typical Housewives or Gilmore Girls. 😉
Poor Michelle. I actually went to a local high school recently and participated in a cooking class. It was really cool, especially to see the kids make something out of ingredients some of them hadn’t even heard of.
GoT is definitely a summer long project. Be prepared to do lots of reading. You should also throw a side trip to Cleveland on your summer list to see little old moi. I’d roll out the red carpet for you, along with some chicken.
