currently

Ok more like the last few days this is what I have been up to.

making made // these banana nut muffins (minus the nuts) from the Skinny Taste Cookbook I recently ordered. 

drinking // Coffee. Coffee and more coffee. 

reading // What To Eat. It is fascinating and at the same time makes me not want to buy produce from the grocery store anymore. 

wanting // more sleep. more free time. and to be over this cold already. My sniffles need to check themselves at the door. 

watching // Ok, ok... I confess, I have been watching a lot of Gilmore Girls lately. For the record - Dean is the worst. 

listening // to this band. You Me & Apollo. They are legit. 

eating // Banana Nut Muffins. Duh.

enjoying enjoyed // My weekend with my family. My sister's birthday was on Saturday and I got to spend a lot of time with them. I might have also fallen asleep on them too - but I blame the cold for that and at least I was still in the room with them while I napped? 

loving // that holidays are in full swing. I may or may not have put up some twinkle lights yesterday and burned one too many spruce scented candles. Which by the way, who knew there was such a thing as burning too many scented candles at once? Word to the wise - don't over do the number of candles you burn at one time. You will get a headache. 

feeling // stuffy. Really though, this cold. I am going to keep complaining about it because I can. Also, I am starting to feel strong, too. I have been slowing working on my heavy lifting. Well I wouldn't call it heavy yet, but I am making progress on the bigger lifts like back squats and overhead squats, and snatches, and cleans, etc. It is hard, but fun! 

laughing // at the price of wedding details. It is ridiculous and laughable. Probably should have gotten married at a courthouse.... oh well! I suppose it will be worth it? ;) I kind of like Brad or something. 

noticing // that I never blog any more. It just isn't a priority in my life. I miss it, but I also can't commit either. 

bookmarking // your blogs I should be reading; wedding ideas I think are pretty -but probably can't afford; foods I want to make and bake from my new cookbook; workout ideas for myself and my clients; you know the usual.... 

So yeah, that is what my life looks like currently. What have you guys been up to?!

Thank You Presidents

So, I have today off with it being President's Day and all, while Brad has to work. It's been beautiful and wonderful and amazing all at the same time. I wish I could be a stay-at-home-gf all the time. Now, a stay-at-home-gf is easy to confuse with stay-at-home-mom and although they share some of the same perks - like getting to watch Ellen (Love her), they are quite different.

Let me show you the ways:

Today I woke up at my leisure, went to a morning spin class, where I did not have to drop off my kid at day care, then I came back to the apt to freshen up for a brunch date with my old roomie/still is cousin. Best part - I didn't even have to pack a diaper bag. We wandered down to NW 23rd Street and had crepes, they were delish. Plus, I did not have to share any of it with a small child or eat my meal with my bebe strapped in a front pack (although, they do look quite handy, look, both hands free)

And now, here I am back home chillin' with Ellen in my quiet, child free apartment :) I can nap if I want to and not worry about my fake child making a mess or needing my attention.

That my friends is why I love the idea of being a stay-at-home-gf, all of the perks of a Mom minus the child..... Not that I don't love kiddos or stay-at-home-moms, they both rock... I'm just not ready to give up my free time yet. You can call me selfish and I I won't be offended, I'll just be on the couch watching Sophia Grace and Rosie in peace before I wander over to the grocery store. (Rough afternoon), maybe even hit up the gym again this afternoon, because well, why not?!


Happy Prez Day!!!

PS, It's ok to be jealous of my couch selfie! (Ok, at least a child would give me something to take pictures of or at least with, so I would stop taking selfies...Good news...it's a change of scenery from my work cube?!)
