listening, watching, reading [may]

Listening … Lately, it’s all about Pandora. Maybe it’s because all my music is on an external hard drive still, or because Mumford & Sons station ROCKS. Either way, I’m on a steady diet of Pandora.

Watching … Mad Men is BACK! I’m surprised to say this, but I find myself rooting for Megan this time around. Maybe I’m just sick of Don… yeah right, I could never be sick of Don.

Reading … Quiet by Susan Cain and Lean In by Sheryl Sandburg. My momish-brain is getting them mixed up; sometimes I start pulling together conclusions about introverted women in the workplace and then realize . . . wait, those are separate books. I highly recommend Quiet for everyone–whether you are an introvert or not, chances are you’re married to one, work with one, or live with one. It’s changed the way I approach people, and myself.

Eating … Lots of quinoa, black beans, and goat cheese. I don’t know how my brain decided this was a good meal (probably a moment of pantry-panic), but lately, it’s all I’m eating for lunch. That and… you know, oreos. For balance, obviously. (You didn’t think I was that healthy, did you?)

Drinking … water, water, and then some more water.

Wearing … I’d rather not admit my current wardrobe choices, but since there’s nothing I can do about it . . .  you can find me in one of two things: yoga pants and a zip-up hoodie, or yoga pants and a t-shirt. Twice a week, when I prepare to see other earthlings, I dress like a person.

Feeling … grateful, excited, and did I mention grateful?

Weather … In between Spring and Summer, which means geese are everywhere . . . patrolling parking lots and scouring out their next victims. Also, flip-flops are here.

Wanting … to wake up on Saturday morning to a clean house and a enjoy nice, long hike at Eagle Creek.

Needing … to attempt the laundry. At this rate, a mild attempt would equate to extreme success.

Thinking … thinking? What a funny word. Give me a couple of weeks and I’ll see if I remember how to do that.

Enjoying … coffee in the mornings, my son, my husband, my new coworkers, our new church, friendships, watching Mad Men at the Trujillo’s, oreo cookies, passion tea, and back porch living.

What about you? What are you on a steady diet of this May?
