Currently…
feeling overwhelmed with grad school, yoga teacher training, my teaching job, freelance work and all the other things I have going on, but also really enjoying it.
writing next to nothing, because I’m feeling a little quiet and like I have nothing to say that isn’t just a rundown of all the things I’m doing which is boring!
reading An Everlasting Meal, by Tamar Adler. It’s really dense and very interesting. I don’t know that I’ll be able to do everything she does, but I do really like the idea of roasting a ton of veggies each weekend and using them for the base of meals.
listening to Tegan and Sara’s Hearthrob, over and over and over and over. Best album I’ve heard in years. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Do yourself a favor and get it now.
eating eggs, brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. Together. For dinner. A lot. Am lame and busy.
wishing we were returning to Paris this year. I can’t believe it’s been almost a year — I was in the full throes of planning our trip at this time last year.
enjoying teaching. I am having a fantastic year in the classroom.
drinking Starbucks Vanilla Blondes. My new fave. It’s almost like drinking black coffee!
learning SO MUCH. About yoga, literacy, teaching…I feel really intellectually stimulated by the things I’m doing and that’s really nice.
missing my friends and family. It’s really hard to be so busy and not get as much time with those I love. It’s only a little longer, but wow. It’s hard to not be able to make plans for a month at a time.
thinking a lot about how/what I eat and how to make what I’ve learned through years of cleansing and weight loss work for me in a sustainable way.
using L’Oreal’s Voluminous mascara and it’s amazing! So cheap! Recommend!
What are you up to, currently?
I’ve been wishing I could go back to Paris too! There’s something incredibly appealing about being a total stranger and not hearing a word of English for a little while.
I was a huge fan of Tegan and Sara but I don’t love their new stuff. I miss the old, more stripped down sound.
Reading…The Rules of Civility (LOVE).
Listening…to “Consider Me” from last night’s ep of Nashville.
Digging…ZUMBA (truly, madly, deeply).
The last two years, I’ve been in the throes of planning epic cruises so I feel you on the wanderlust. I just want to get away!
I am totally overwhelmed right now, too… Hang in there, lady. You have so much on your plate right now, but it sounds like you are thriving amidst your crazy schedule! I am reading The Beautiful Ruins. I am listening almost exclusively to the Ingrid Michaelson channel on Pandora. I will have to check out that CD you recommended, though!
I’m seriously wishing and hoping an abroad getaway is in the cards this year, I miss it so much. Also, as of this second I am listening to Tegan & Sara, so thanks for the rec :)
