“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day. To the last syllable of recorded time.”
Ah Shakespeare; one of the greatest playwrights of all time. In honor of him, I say we mark the passage of time with yet another Currently post. It’s also possible my introductions on these types of posts need a little work, and if I wasn’t planning on spending my evening making mass quantities of granola, I’d opt to have a cocktail, let the creative juices flow, and perhaps pen a better beginning. Alas, that is not the case. My bad.
Let’s play.
Current Book: We are going to gloss over the fact I’m still reading the same book I was in both April and May: A Dance with Dragons from the Song of Ice and Fire series (also known as Game of Thrones). At least I’m more than halfway through now.
Current Music: I’m digging on this song by Alice Smith. It’s got a funky little beat that makes me move my hips in ways the Hubby approves.
Current Guilty Pleasure: Deep Fried Twinkies with a Berry Dipping Sauce from Melt Bar and Grilled. Yes, it was as good as it sounds.
Current Nail Color: clear, always a clear strengthener.
Current Drink: Water with lime. Ah, refreshing!
Current Food: I’m on a quesadilla kick right now. Throw a bunch of veggies, beans and cheese on a tortilla. Stick it in the quesadilla maker for five minutes and Presto Chango, Dinner is Served.
Current Favorite Show: Breaking Bad. It’s good having a brother who stockpiles television series and then allows you to borrow those same DVD’s.
Current Wish List: An extra day to get ready for the Blend Retreat. I still need to pack everything, and I have about twelve lists I need to write in order to commence packing. Oh and there’s granola to be made. Lots and lots of granola.
Current Needs: I need for nothing, which is aces in my book.
Current Triumphs: My Clean Eats, Fast Feets business cards have arrived. Therefore, I’m officially legit. Now, if only we could do something about my potty mouth and inflamed ego. Mad props to my girl Lauren who designed them. She’s a rock star.
Current Bane of Existence: I left work two hours early to take a nap. I awoke to this. Mother Effer.
Current Indulgence: going to the Blend Retreat this weekend. Now that the Hubby is a budding young pharmacy student, we’ve scaled way back on anything indulgent, ignoring the obvious Deep Fried Twinkies above, so this trip is quite the luxury for me.
Current Blessing: My Spring/Summer CSA starts next week, which means I’m about to be blessed with a bountiful bevy of vegetables. Perhaps even some fruit if I’m lucky and play my cards right. Actually cards have nothing to do with it. I don’t know why I said that.
Current Outfit: A T-Shirt and a T-Shirt. What? It’s hot, and I refuse to turn on the air conditioning.
Current Excitement: I’m going Blend on this one. In less than twenty-four hours, I’ll be hopping a jet plane to Park City, Utah to hang out with a bunch of ladies I’ve never met before. It’s exhilarating and nerve-wracking all at the same time. Y’all better not be a bunch of crazy stalkers or else you have some serious explaining to do.
Current Link: My April and May Currently posts, for inspiration of course.
Current Mood: I’m a little (read: a lot) giddy.
On that note, I’ve got a crapton of Granola to make and I sure as hell hope those mason jars show up in the mail today, otherwise Ziploc bags are the new “It” mode of transportation.
Oh and before I forget, ignoring the fact I temporarily did, the winner of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Giveaway is Ms. Polka Dot, an alias I’m sure. Perhaps even a Bond Girl. Expect an email from me in the very near future, requesting all sorts of personal information.
Answer any of the questions above. Current Mood? Current Blessing? Current TV show? Current Book? Current Guilty Pleasure?
Lauren says
Yay!! Love this edition and love that you love the cards! Enjoy your trip!!!!
Meghan says
THANK YOU. You are the bomb.com.
Davida @ The Healthy Maven says
You are so legit!!! Also I’m contemplating deleting my emails off my phone because I get a straight panic attack if I don’t keep up-to-date with it every five seconds ughhh

I actually shut my email off over the weekend so I could totally relax because I can’t handle the little number pop ups either.
Brittany says
HOLY SHIT that e-mail count!?!?! WHYYY SO MANY !? Ridiculous I tell ya, I would freaaaakkk out. OK so I continue to be convinced we are soul mates…I have a photo coming soon of a new jacket I got, and I didn’t feel like wearing pants for the photo…soo…I’m not. I will definitely post now with no shame. Wanna know a secret? I contemplated going to Blend for like 5 minutes, but only because I wanted to meet you..and Amanda. I don’t think I really know anyone else going, but still I REALLY WANT TO HANG WITH YOU!

You better post that photo! In fact, I can’t wait to go see it like a creepy stalker or something.
I so wish you were there. Perhaps the three of us should just meet up in a new city. We could go hiking. Amanda taught me how to do it this weekend, so I’m a pro now.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
I’m glad you decided to indulge in Blend because I seriously can.not.WAIT to meet you! But I’m holding our text convo last night as being responsible for my inability to sleep this morning. I was up at 3:30, probably because I was just too damn excited. So if you see me this weekend and I seem a little off, blame the sleep dep π
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. WIAW … when life gets crazy .
Meghan says
I will happily take blame for your inability to sleep. Especially since I had a great time with you this past weekend. For reals, you rock my socks off.
Alisha @ Alisha's Appetite says
That email count is OUT OF CONTROL! You are going to have sooo much fun at blend retreat this weekend! It is pretty unnerving to get on a plane and go hang out with people you’ve never actually *met* before, but it’s so much easier than it sounds! And I’m glad you hubby approves of the hip swinging π

You’re right. It was totally unnerving, but I’m also really glad I did it too. You’ve done it before as well right? I thought you went to one last year. Maybe HLS.
Olivia @ Liv Lives Life says
Have an awesome time at Blend! I can’t wait to hear about it!

Hi Liv. It’s nice to see you again. I hope you’re enjoying your summer and you survived your first year of teaching.
Lindsey @HalfDimeHomestead says
BREAKING BAD!!!
I got stuck on the fact that you are watching my all time favorite show and geeked out a bit.
After it ended, I just threw up my hands in a huff and exclaimed: “Well, SHIT. Now I don’t wanna watch ANYTHING.”
I gotta go check out Blend through your link. It sounds fun!

Meghan says
If I got to Blend next year, I want you to come too. It would be a blast, and we could watch Breaking Bad together or get to know other bloggers. Or just watch Breaking Bad. π

Sarah Pie says
All this blend talk, I’m super jealous that my schedule didn’t work out for this year because I would have loved to meet everyone! But I can’t wait to hear about all the shenanigans you get up to, and those business cards are sweet. Have an awesome trip π

It would have been so incredible if you had been able to make it. You’ll just have to plan for 2014 now.
Arman @ thebigmansworld says
Hope your snuggling spoons as you read this.
Urgh, why can’t we swap siblings? My sister leaves me real housewives DVDS. Being in such a desperate state, I watch them……..and get addicted to them.
When I saw you post that twinkie photo on facebook I thought it was a joke! Meghan eating a Twinkie? love it. And stoked that your treating yourself to a weekend away at blend. Enjoy my friend.

Meghan says
I totally snuggled spoons. On multiple occasions, no less.
My brother thought the same thing about the Twinkie. He even texted me and was like What’s going on? Has the world ended? Alright, it was slightly less dramatic but the message was the same.
Miss Polkadot says
Wait, what?! Okay, I knew you were a busy lady but 337 mails in a mere two hours? I’d be a nervous mess and unable to ever take a nap again worrying for a repeat of that scenario.
It’s no secret I wish I could be at Blend, too, but there’s no use whining so instead I hope you’re having/ had [given the time you’re likely going to see this is after your return] a sBLENDid time.
Current excitement? You’ll know it better than anybody π . Granola.

Meghan says
The emails turned out to be a fluke thing, although it did give me some heart palpitations. Typically I only get a hundred or so in a usual work day.
I wish you could have been at Blend too. It would have been fantastic to actually meet face to face.
Julie says
We need a Breadsmith!
Meghan says
I’m a firm believer that everybody needs a Breadsmith in their lives. Well unless their celiac and that would suck.
Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli says
Omg, PUHleeeeease tell me that email thing was a fluke! You know, I was just thinking the other day, while I was farmer’s market frolicking (why do I always want to spell that with two “l’s”??) of course how I’ve only gotten ONE measly pint of strawberries. Where have all the berries gone? Now if you’ll excuse me, I must indulge myself in a bit of Paula Cole on YouTube! π
Rock that T-shirt, girl! Ow ow!!

Meghan says
It was a fluke. Thank god, but it did me a moment of heart failure before I realized it.
I’m trying to go berry picking this weekend, but I might be too late. Cross those fingers for me.
