Lately I’ve Been

I’ve seen this blog post circling around the interwebs, and thought it would be a fun one to do for myself. Yes, I was that geek that would take surveys and forward them on to my friends back in the late 1990’s when we finally got the internet. Oy.

Lately I’ve been…

Making: Lots of smoothies in my nutribullet. It’s so hot outside and smoothies are a great breakfast option.

Cooking: Pretty much the same boring stuff, I seem to go in a rotation. I need to make new things!

Drinking: Tons and tons of water! It’s so hot outside, it’s necessary to stay hydrated. Plus, it’s just good for you!

Reading: Nobody’s Cuter Than You. My Bible study group is reading it after we read her last book, Antelope in the living room. Both great reads that have me in stitches every chapter.

Wanting: The weather to cool off. It’s hard to go for walks with Emma Kate, even at 7:00 in the morning.

Looking: Forward to going to the beach next week! Spending time with Bobby and my parents is always fun!

Playing: A lot with Emma Kate. She is very mobile now so now she chases after toys and it’s fun to see which direction she goes first!

Wasting: too much time on Facebook. Such a time suck.

Wishing: Moms, and women in general would be more encouraging and uplifting towards each other. So many women are so insecure in themselves they feel like they have to tear others down, which makes me sad for them. Life is too short! Be kind!

Enjoying: The daylight that lasts well past 8:00. I dread the darkness at 5:00, it depresses me!

Waiting: Ha. For a LOT of things to happen. I’m not so good at the waiting. I think God may be trying to teach me something…

Liking: Nashville. I just started watching it on Hulu. Anyone else a fan?

Wondering: Why I am such a worrier. Things always work out in the end, I just struggle with the waiting parts.

Loving: That 4th of July is this weekend! Loving all the flags I am seeing around town, and the patriotic wreaths, décor, etc.

Hoping: Emma Kate would finally crawl..and she did on Saturday! yay!

Needing: to wash my car. I went to a baby shower in the middle of the woods a couple of weeks ago and the driveway was red mud. It won’t come off even after driving in the rain.

Wearing: shorts and dresses. It’s sadly way too hot for capris and pants, so I will be in shorts and dresses until oh…October?

Following: Along with all of the presidential stuff. It makes my head hurt to think we still have a year and a half of all this!

Noticing: Where people “missed” while fertilizing their grass. I know it sounds weird, but have you ever noticed? It’s funny when you can see huge strips in people’s yards where they missed. Oops!

Knowing: That I have the best family ever. The end.

Thinking: Like a baby. Down on my hands and knees, trying to see what she is going to try to “get into” now that she can crawl. It’s a whole new ball game!

Feeling: a little lonely lately. Making local friends as an adult is hard stuff.

Bookmarking: Photography courses online. I want to take one…someday…when I have time…

Opening: A couple of early birthday gifts. It’s almost my birthday month!

QOTD: Answer one of the “lately’” prompts for yourself in the comments.
