Currently…

feeling excited for Mexico next week but also overwhelmed with all the things I need to do at work and home before we leave Saturday afternoon.

writing nothing much for the blog but I am journaling more and doing A LOT of writing at work these days.

reading nothing right now! I have been too busy watching Downton Abbey in my spare time (just started season 3!). I better get going on the reading if I want to reach my 5 books in February goal but I have a good pile of books that I’m taking to Mexico with me next week.

listening to Mumford & Sons. Eric and I are both obsessed and it’s pretty much all that ever plays in our house while we cook and clean.

eating soup, rice crackers, steel cut oats. Same ole’ same ole’. Very much looking forward to some delicious Mexican food!

wishing for summer.

enjoying running and yoga. I mean, I always love running and yoga but I’m really enjoying the combination of them these days. I did a 5K run immediately followed by a flow yoga class last night and it was just the perfect evening. I felt in my element and super strong and happy.

drinking coffee and chai tea. Lots and lots of coffee.

learning so much at work. My role has two parts and after a busy fall focused on one half of it I’m diving back into the other side and learning a lot about it. Our team is also doing a full-day planning/strategy meeting on Friday and I’m sure I’ll learn a lot that day and walk away with my head spinning.

missing going to crossfit. Especially as I see it all over blogs and twitter even more than before. Unfortunately I’m just not sure how to fit it into my life financially and time-wise right now so will continue doing at-home workouts when I can.

thinking so many things running through my head these days I can’t even sum it up in one sentence. I am thinking a lot about life, the exciting plans I have on deck for 2013, the year ahead at work and especially about getting away to Mexico with my love next week.

using my new MAC makeup. I went on a girls shopping trip last weekend and my friend Jen convinced me to buy some. I got concealer, eye shadow and lipstick and love it all!

What are you up to, currently?

  1. I need a trip to Mexico in a bad way, which just means you need to enjoy it that much more to incorporate my needs, too. ha. Have a great trip!

    I’ve taken a bit of a break from blogging but find myself writing in my journal a lot more too – it’s nice to sit down with a pen and paper instead of always staring at a computer screen :) Have fun in Mexico!!!

    I LOVE that your loving the MAC I forced you to buy, hahahah! Your my 3rd person I’ve turned to the MAC side of the world. Fantastic

    I have also been seeing so much Crossfit online but I don’t know how we could afford it right now. It’s sooo expensive. That’s one of the reasons I like Tina’s Best Body Bootcamp. Even though it’s nothing like Crossfit, I like have a structured weight training schedule to stick to. Makes me feel strong and accomplished! And it’s only $25 for 8 weeks. Waaay better than Crossfit $$$-wise. :)

  5. A trip to Mexico sounds HEAVENLY right now. :) I am glad you guys are getting away! I am sure you will come back relaxed and refreshed.

    I will have to do this on my blog next week! I am currently looking forward to celebrating tomorrow with my Valentine, I am feeling overwhelmed by all I have to do related to the move, and I am eating lots of popcorn as a snack as there is a popcorn stand in the lobby of my building!

    Hey!!
    I like this blog – its like a super quick way to get to know what you are up to!
    Mexico sounds… well heavenly! I hope you and the Mr have a super great trip, I’m sure its going to be a great get away (and by the sounds of it, a much needed one!)
    I’ve been doing 4 morning classes 610-7am – kind of a killer to get outta bed, but the pay off is great! Currently, I am just going to start to do some follow up work for my business, working on another business plan (that i am pretty excited about) Might be able to do some prep work in the house for painting a feature wall this weekend, Kp is really looking forward to that (haha). LOVING MY VITAMIX BLENDER!!!!! Enjoying the journey that I am on. Learning to talk to my self in a more positive way, reading a great book by Dr Wayne Dyer! Also excited for the goals i’ve set for 2013 – more excited to be taking the little steps to accomplish them. Oh and working on being an emcee for a wedding in August ;)
    That’s about all that’s keeping my occupied these past couple days.
    :)

    “I did a 5K run immediately followed by a flow yoga class last night and it was just the perfect evening.” DUDE. I did a Vinyasa class tonight and we focused a lot on legs and I didn’t want to push the pedals in my car afterwards – no idea how you did a run after a class!

    I’m looking forward to tomorrow being my Friday (especially after a CRAZY day at work today), and going away with Ben for a night and to the aquarium that he’s NEVER been to!

  8. I love these posts!!! I think I’ll do this one on my blog :-)

  9. I am doing it now, but changed it to “lately”.

    I’ve been very into the journaling lately as well… Feels so good to just let your thoughts wander over a page (mine’s handwritten as well).
    I’ve been listening to Tegan & Sara (and other random stuff).
    And watching Fringe (from the start on Netflix).
    And yeah…enjoying life.

    I hope you have a great trip to Mexico! So jealous ;)

    I hope you are having a blast in Mexico! I bet it’s a perfect chance to eat, relax and unwind after the busy times you have been having lately. Have a margarita for me and have fun!
