Currently.

The old Currently posts are back! If any of you used to read my old blog you might remember these posts though with maybe slightly different prompts since I definitely can’t remember the old ones. That is what I get for not saving my work (I may have learned my lesson this time…maybe)

Without further ado I am currently…

Reading “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Bleep” by Mark Manson. My friend gave me this book for my birthday last year and yes I am still reading it. It is one of those books that I pick up and read a chapter of every now and again which I do realize makes it sound like not such a good book but that isn’t the case at all. I feel like Mark Manson is someone you either hate or love when you meet because he writes very blunt but he definitely does get you thinking. 

*Just a little side note, there is A LOT of swearing in this book, which you might be able to get from the title, so just keep that in mind if you decide to read it because it can get a little much

Listening Brandi Carlile’s “By The Way, I forgive You” album is so good, very chill music. The Willis Clan’s “Speak My Mind” is another album I have been enjoying. I am pretty sure The Willis Clan could sing any style of music they wanted and get away with it they are just that good.

Loving The “Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow” cookbook…I made the savoury granola last night and it is sooo good. It has pretzels in it so it is not the kind of granola that I would mix with yogurt or a smoothie but it is good for munching on straight up. You don’t have to be a runner to enjoy the cookbook though it is definitely geared toward runners with all the extra tidbits of information through out. 

Learning I finally managed to get my hands on some alcohol inks and I am slowly learning how to paint with them. They are probably one of the coolest mediums I have used though I have learned that hair driers are not the best for moving the ink around (just a little messy) so I may have to get my hands on a heat gun and give that a go. 

Eating I am drinking a comfort tea at Starbucks at the moment, it’s delicious you should try it. 

Wishing that the day were longer. I am only in my first week of half marathon training and I am already super frustrated with trying to fit everything in. I need it light to 10 already so I can run later (or earlier…I’d even take earlier)!!! 

Laughing I was scrolling through Pinterest the other day and saw this and had to laugh…like come Alexa you can do pretty much everything else, why not do the dishes for me. (For those who don’t know and therefore don’t find this funny at all, Alexa is the name you use to turn on your Amazon Echo…like Siri for Iphone)
