Happy New Year!
Wait a sec, have I said that already? Crap, I totally did, earlier this week.
I’m getting forgetful in my ripe old age. How about you forgive me, and in turn I’ll reward you with the current happenings of my life? Deal? Deal.
It’s possible you’re getting the short end of this stick; I’ll make it up to you some day.
Current Book: I’m double dipping on the book front: Dragonfly in Amber, the second book in the Outlander series and The Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy. Completely different, yet equally as enticing.
Current Music: forget music, I’m back on the podcast train with Season Two of Serial.
Current Non-Guilty Pleasure: a relaxation massage last night and a New Year’s resolution met.
Current Confession: I’ve had more people in my hoohah in the last four days than I’ve had in the last four years; excluding the Hubby of course.
Current Drink: coffee, just one small cup a day, which I savor like the nectar from the gods that it is. Much love to my girl Danielle for my new favorite mug.
Current Food: I’ve been on an egg-cellent bender. I should totally be embarrassed by my horrible pun; I’m not, although somewhere the Hubby is reading this and shaking his head.
Current Obsession: I’ve been eating and drinking my (pregnant) weight in fruit on a weekly basis. Obsessed is an understatement.
Current Excitement: a wide open weekend with nothing planned. It makes my heart go pitter patter. it’s also much needed after the week I’ve had.
Current Wish List: a laptop, which doesn’t sound like the fan is going to blow up every time I open the lid. Shakes fist at technology.

Current Bane of Existence: the mad monkey loving ban has been reinstituted. The official term is “pelvic rest,” although I call it “nasty shenanigans.” My new pimp suit is going to waste.
Current Blessing: coworkers who gift me with the loveliest of surprises: healthy cookbooks and candy, along with the nicest of messages. They know me so well. I appreciate them more than I can ever say.
Current Indulgence: I drank the Kool Aid Spoons was selling and bought myself an Erin Condren 2016 planner. Let the listing begin….or really continue.
Current Epiphany: health is everything and after much drama, including a little visit to the hospital, mine and the health of the Unborn Child is all good. Wild patterns are clearly my color.
Current Needs: a bigger bladder. This peeing every two minutes stuff is for the birds.
Current Triumphs: getting nearly caught up on my BlogLovin feed. I had an unexpected opening in my schedule, which bought me the gift of time.
Current Thankfulness: the Hubby who spent the night in the hospital with me and even brought me snacks, along with my pimp suit, my Kindle, a pillow, my loud ass laptop, the first season of Gilmore Girls, and a cookbook. Yeah, he’s that good.
Current Fear: having a child make their way into the world via my nether regions. Shudder.
Current Laughs: this, so much this:
Current Links: BoardBooster. I adore this site, which I use for all my Pinterest needs. It’s worth every single penny and they even have a referral program. Here’s the link to mine: https://BoardBooster.com/invite/PAXYR if the idea of having someone else do your pinning for you sounds appealing. I’ve been using it since August, and my time is easily worth $5 a month.
Current Mood: calm, which feels pretty incredible, after the last few days. I will happily take it and then some.
Your turn. What’s Currently going on in your world? Current book? Current obsession? Current confession? Current mood?
Danielle says
January 9, 2016 at 8:46 AMOh hooray, so glad you and the Unborn are ok! May the healthy vibes continue infinitely!
So glad you like the mug, it’s the little things in life. Right?
I’m with you on the fruity kick but mine never looks that pretty. I go full cave woman on my fruity meals. Not pretty.

January 9, 2016 at 2:53 PMGlad all is well – memories of hospital stays are coming back, and also that girlfriends guide 🙂 hope you get the most of your relaxing weekend with no plans – that’s my happy place too.
Also having someone take over my Pinterest sounds tempting for $5/month!

January 10, 2016 at 9:00 AMThe Girlfriends Guide is pretty dead on accurate and funny to boot. I’ve even got the Hubby reading it now too.
I adore BoardBooster, it saves me so much time every week. They have a 30 day free trial so you can see if you like it. You should check it out.

January 9, 2016 at 9:21 AMI hope all is ok! I read What to expecting when you are expecting when I was pregnant and refused to read ahead of my week lol. So when I ended up in the hospital at 28 weeks with preterm labor, I freaked and said to the nurse – am I am going into labor? I am not ready! I didn’t read that chapter yet! Ugh, so funny but not! So much can go on in a pregnancy, it’s like we sign our bodies over for 9 months. Wishing you well 🙂

I have definitely accepted my body is no longer my own right now. It hasn’t been easy getting there though. 🙂

Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
January 9, 2016 at 9:53 AMNot even kidding — my mouth legit started watering after looking at all of those pictures of fruit. To say that I’m a little deprived on the fruit front is an understatement, and I’m getting a little tired of eating nothing but bananas, apples, and little oranges. As good as they are. Also, is it weird to say that I’m excited to see you start planning in your ECLP? I have this thing for seeing how people organize their lives 😛

January 9, 2016 at 11:44 AMHope you’re feeling better and glad that all is well with you and the babe!
I, too, have jumped on the Erin Condren train…I’m still undecided on whether it’s worth the fuss but any place where I can list is good in my books. And the only things on my list today are yoga and visiting old friends in CT so the weekend is off to a good start!
Meghan says
January 10, 2016 at 9:11 AMThat sounds like a perfect start to a great weekend. Enjoy!!

January 9, 2016 at 1:25 PMWow. You really do have the best co workers…and hubby. So glad to hear everything is okay after your hospital visit, and that your hubby knew how to keep you smiling (just started Gilmore girls last week… hooked). Here’s hoping the pimp suit doesn’t need to be hung up for too long! 😉 Enjoy your weekend of open time and relaxation. I see you spending some intimate listing time with that new planner of yours.

January 9, 2016 at 3:27 PMMy current book is Stuart Scotts memoir before he died of cancer last year. What a great guy and sportscaster! I totally validate that fruit obsession, the baby needs its nutrients and you need the beautiful tastes that fruit can bring. Have a wonderful weekend

Meghan says
January 10, 2016 at 9:18 AMI read something crazy like the baby only gets 10% or less of the food and drinks you consume. I guess it manages to get it’s own nutrients via the placenta. Go figure.

Kate says
January 9, 2016 at 4:09 PMAll that fruit has me wishing it was summer time! I am so bad at picking good fruit during the off season. Or maybe it’s the fruit with the problem. Also all your egg-y things look too good to be true. So fluffy!!
I am so glad you and the babe are A-OK. I can’t imagine all the feels you are having, but it makes me happy to read you have such an amazing support system!

January 10, 2016 at 9:19 AMSummertime fruit usually isn’t so hot in the winter. That being said, kiwis, pears and pomegranates are in season for a short minute longer and taste fantastic right now so go buy some of those. They’re delicious.

January 9, 2016 at 6:39 PMI love the Girlfriend’s Guide! She tells the truth, yo. Great book. Glad zee baybee is a-okay. Sorry you had to go through that stress though. Not cool. I’m currently reading “The Awakening.” Well, I’m currently wanting to read it. I’ve made it to the second page several times before some kid or another walks in and interrupts me.

January 10, 2016 at 9:20 AMI think Girlfriends Guide is fantastic. So much more relatable than that other drivel too. In fact, I need to go back and read it and make some notes. 🙂
I hope you get to do some reading today. I’ll cross my fingers for you.

January 9, 2016 at 10:01 PMMeghan,
My laptop fan went nuts over the summer, right before our vacation. The good folks at the Apple store fixed it right up, and even replaced my worn keys on the keyboard, for about $50 and 8 hours away from me. I was pleasantly surprised.
Glad you and the monkey are doing well. Keep it up.

January 10, 2016 at 5:36 AMGlad to hear you and the little are well. Health IS everything! Promise me to look after yourself and don’t go too crazy on the work front again.
Now onto the lighter stuff… I love the mug! It’s perfect! And I totally giggled like nuts on the egg joke. I am such a sucker for a crappy pun 😀 Any yay to life planner shenanigans. It won’t make up for the nasty shenaigans but it might distract a little 😛

January 10, 2016 at 7:44 AMSo glad that you and behbeh are okay! And he brought you Gilmore Girls to the hospital? *insert heart eyes emoji* Hubsters has now just set the bar very high for all other men!
Ugh I feel your laptop woes. Mine was doing the same thing to the point where it would shut down on me every 20 minutes. So I got a new one, but I don’t like it. 🙁

I may need to look into a new laptop but I really don’t want to spend the money so I’m putting up with the noise in the interim.

January 10, 2016 at 8:44 PMI miss your face! Is Gilmore Girls worth it? I zapped three it a couple of times, but it did get me hoousonfar.
Currently I’ll lying at the Icebergs Pool with a view to the beach after a morning class and swimming 1k. No complaints.

January 11, 2016 at 8:46 PMFirst off I am so glad to hear you are doing well… Hopefully with some rest and chill out time all will be fine 🙂
Eggs and fruit sounds like an amazing meal focus to have – you would adore it here right now – stone fruits, berries, melons and mangos all in their prime! The farmers market is a glimpse of heaven right now…. And they have tasters!

January 24, 2016 at 7:37 AMI can’t get enough fruit right now so I’ve been trying to buy as much of the seasonal stuff as possible to save a little money (oranges, kiwis, pomegranates) although summer berries keep making an appearance in my fridge. Pregnancy is expensive. 🙂
Melissa @ Mango About Town says
January 24, 2016 at 3:42 PMThanks for the friendly reminder about kiwis! Bought a whole bag on my trip to the grocery store today and they were a great price 🙂
