I’ve seen these types of posts floating around on lots of blogs, including Your Wishcake and Oh! How Lovely, to name a few, so I thought I’d join in.
I’m currently obsessed with…
- Lighting those beautiful j’adore candles. They make my apartment smell so nice.
- Going to the gym. I’m loving lifting weights and going to group classes again. I feel tough.
- Calling Webster ‘Monkey’. I come home from school/work/wherever and open the door and go, “Hi Monkeyyy, how was your day.” Or when I call him I go, “Here, Monkey.” *imagine this in a baby voice*. When Eric was visiting I also called him Monkey a few times, apparently it’s my new term for things/people that I feel affectionate about.
- Food blogs. I just added a handful more to my reader. I love all the great recipe ideas and food pictures. I kind of want to write one but I know I would not remember to take pictures of all my food all the time!
- Blogging. I swear I’m getting more obsessed every day. I am constantly thinking about new blog posts, how I can make the blog better, my blog friends etc.
- This cool weather. It’s perfect running weather and it makes me want to run every day.
- Working on a new weekly feature that is coming to Girl with the Red Hair soon. I’m really excited about it.
- Fall TV - I’m loving Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters and Gossip Girl this season. Grey’s not so much.
- Writing, I keep getting these urges to write at weird times of the day so I have several unfinished drafts in my blog and a bunch of papers with scribbles on them in my school books.
What are your current obsessions?
{ 27 comments… read them below or add one }
I am currently obsessed with reading, more so than usual, I just want to curl up with a book all the time lately. I’m also obsessed with cooking lately, I have been cooking a lot more and trying new recipes instead of making the same old boring stuff week after week.
I agree, fall tv is the best! I’m getting more and more hooked on Brothers and Sisters each week!
Love your blog! My current obsession is anything pumpkin!!! Pumkin icecream, pumpkin pancakes, and pumpkin lattes are at the top of my list!!!
finding the right wedding location!
and anything bootcamp style at the gym. I did my first group class in like forever & loved it! i’m going to another one on saturday morning!
Yay for loving going to the gym!!
1. My half training schedule. It all marked up and look very well used - but I am looking forward to holding onto it because it shows the progress I’ve made!
2. The new Brandi Carlile & Mat Kearney CDs. And probably the Five for Fighting CD that I just downloaded this morning. They are all rockin’ CDs.
3. My mile splits (which ties in w/ #1).
I’ll stop there! I could go on and on and on!
Love it! My current obsessions are:
1) Working on my new, super-secret blog idea (ETA early 2010)
2) Complaining about how much I hate hate hate school
3) Organizing and throwing awesome parties/get-togethers
4) Planning how I’m going to manipulate my money once I am back to working full time
My two current obsessoins are:
1. halloween - i tend to go overboard with the decorating. makes my family crazy but they always appreciate it when everything is setup.
2. food and recipe blogs — i found a site called http://www.FoodBlogs.com and have been reading all the wonderful posts from amazing foodies and chefs. i am finding alot of great pumpkin recipes (ever heard of Pumpkin Nachos??) which i like to cook this time of year.
Ooh, those candles look divine!
1) Currently obsessed with reading (more so than I usually am) - I’ve been thinking about books A LOT lately
2) Blogging - it’s like a disease! Once you blog a little you want to blog more…then you find more blogs to read. There have been nights where I’ve neglected spending time with my husband because I’m on the computer - definitely need to find a balance with that
3)Fall - it’s always been my favorite season, but I’m just loving it more than usual this year and I don’t want it to end
Yay for your current obsessions.
I’m getting back into blogging which is GREAT!
I call my kitty pretty baby/bubbie/baby kitty/anything else annoying and cutesy so I totally understand.
I’m currenty obsessed with scarves, mits, jackets, fruit and exercise equipment lol
Ha, love that you call Webster “monkey.” That’s pretty cute.
Things I’m loving:
* My new gym membership
* dressing up for work (which is rather shocking, I know!)
* buying more books than I can handle
* sending out cards to my friends (which includes you! I don’t call my blog friends “blog friends,” anymore because you guys are my real friends too!
Those all seem like healthy obsessions, so good for you!
I’m obsessed with WoodWick candles (even though they’re darn expensive, but they do last for EVER), Glee songs, and my new lululemon pants. I think I want to live in them!
I love your obsessions, especially blogging because I love reading your blog and I am obsessed with blogging too. The past couple of weeks have been very crazy but before that I was currently obsessed with yoga, pumpkin, squash and anything blogging related
Have you ever watch Tori and Dean on Oxygen channel? Tori spelling calls her son “Monkey” its kinda cute!
My husband calls me Monkey
My current obsessions are reading/watching the news (somehow I can’t get enough of it!), budgeting, and sleeping, lol.
I’m going to have to say that I’m currently obsessed with reading. I never had time to read while I was going to school and now it’s just fabulous to be able to settle down on the couch and read.
I’m obsessed all the time with my dog. I don’t have any cute nicknames for her, but I usually just call her “Baby” (her name’s Daphne) or Dapher-Dan.
I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed with it, but I really enjoy getting back into shape!
Everything pumpkin flavored and also my compression socks
To answer your question about shoes… I have 2 pair of the same shoes, an old pair that’s probably 500-600 miles old that I use for my 2nd runs of hte day or short easy runs and a newer pair I use for long runs and workouts. My friend that works in a running store said that you don’t really need to alternate, but I like to. I also have some racing flats I use for 5ks, 10ks and even the 1/2 marathon sometimes. When I do track work I use those for the track-only portion of my workout. I run in Saucony Pro Grid Guides and I LOVE them.
I am SO OBSESSED with blogging! I’m constantly thinking of blog post ideas, other blogs, blog friends, making mine better, etc. I have a saved draft on Blogger just for my blog ideas.
I’m also obsessed with football (but I always am), the iPod Touch, my new hair straightener that is a-maz-ing!, and finding internships.
apple juice. desperate housewives. homework (not an obsession i LIKE, but an obsession none the less). talking about moving. post secret.com. your blog. penn badgley (dan from GG - sooo sexy). french bulldogs.
How about the Office? Must see tv! Ah ha
Hmm. Definitely blogging, cooking, baking, and reading! Stepped foot in a library for the first time in forever last month. Felt so good! I’ve avoided books all year because when I get started, I don’t stop, and neglect everything else I have to do (namely, assignments). But now I’m free as a bird and can read as much as I please. Woohoo!
I am currently obsessed with reading, watching felicity on DVD, and baking (and giving said baked goods away).
Nice candles, did Eric get them for you?
I love that you’re obsessed with the gym. I need that same obsession (more constantly) in my life!
I am currently obsessed with blogging
I love it!! It is my release from a hectic world, and busy life.
I am SO over Grey’s Anatomy…Actually, I was over it last season, I think. :p
I wish that I had the drive right now to do more creative blogging. :p
Lovely! Fall TV is making me really happy right now, too.
