Currently

Posted on August 18 by Jillian416 • 0 Comments

There’s another fun post going around the blogosphere, it’s called “Currently.” Basically you answer a few questions on what you are currently doing. I thought it would be fun to share and give another sneaky peek into my world. Brittany at A Healthy Slice of life, also posted one recently (you can see her’s here), I thought I’d join in.

Currently Reading…

Well, I’m in the middle of two different books, but technically I’m only reading one, the other I am listening to as an audio-book. I’m reading Vegan Before 6 (yes still), life is so so busy! This is a great book and I’m trying to take my time reading it and absorbing as much as possible. I’m desperate to make a lifestyle change and this one seems like it could fit my needs very well.

I’m also in the middle of The Devil Wears Prada, this is the audio-book I am listening to. My commutes in the morning are really tough and I was starting to get REALLY stressed out with all the traffic and just being at a standstill for 30 minutes. Enter, audio-books! I thought I’d give it a try and man has it changed my stress level this week. My morning drive in is cake and on the way home (where I typically deal with heavier traffic) I am able to drive and not focus on staying in one place. It’s perfect!

Currently Watching…

Seamus and I are a little (a lot) behind the train but we started watching Dexter this week. We’re 3 episodes into the first season and I am hooked. We need to also catch up on the latest season of Mad Men, we were watching the last two seasons of 30 Rock (but put that aside for Dexter), we’re behind on New Girl and pretty soon all of our weekly shows will be back. We need more time in the day, however there are more productive ways to spend our time than TV! 😉

Currently in Emmett’s Life…

He’s pretty much a walking pro! He still stumbles and wobbles but definitely walks more than he crawls and it seems like each day he is getting better and better. It really impresses me! He is also fully into the mimicking phase, Seamus or I will make a noise or a gesture and little Mister Emmett will attempt to do the same thing. It’s pretty adorable but now we need to be more conscious of what we say and do around him.

I was laughing SO hard at this video!!

Currently Focusing on…

Does it ever change? I seem to be in a constant state of trying to fit in exercise and eating whole clean foods. I know the secret, stop making excuses and just do it, I just seem to be stuck.

I’m also thinking of doing a road race with my bike, the breast cancer awareness ride. They have 10, 25 and 45 mile rides, I could easily do 10 or 25, I just need to decide whether I really want to challenge myself and sign-up for the 45 mile ride, not sure if I’m ready for that yet.

Currently Listening to…

The fish tank’s air pump running. Emmett’s asleep, Seamus is playing video games and the TV is off. I love being a mom but having this quiet time at night is lovely.

Currently Enjoying…

Blogging. Seriously! I have been really into blogging and coming up with different blog ideas. Anytime I’m not working, my brain is running off, thinking about new things I can do with my blog. I hope all of you are enjoying my posts as much as I have been enjoying writing them lately.

Also, this bag! I have been using a rolley bag since I was about 6 months pregnant and I’ve been wanting to stop using it for about 4 months but haven’t found the exact bag that I want. When I saw this, I knew it was the one, the issue is the cost. I need to fit it into my budget without taking money away from bills, so I keep on waiting. Anyone want to buy it for me!? 😉

Currently Giggling at…

My neighbors across the street, they’re yelling at their dog like it is a child. The dog is on his chain and ran to the opposite side of the house and the owner yells, “DON’T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!” I was sitting on my porch and I literally laughed out loud. How silly!
