Currently.

Watching: Teen Mom, Pretty Little Liars, Amazing Race, Carrie Diaries, 90210, Survivor, Cupcake Wars, Pioneer Woman...

Thinking about: Our trip we just booked to Jackson Hole, WY. We are so EXCITED!!! I LOVE traveling with my husband. It is one of my favorite things to do together. We have never been and are planning on kayaking, fishing, relaxing, hanging out by the pool, getting a massage, hiking + lots of exploring. We are going to go to Yellowstone + Grand Teton...YYYAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY

Listening to: The lithium station on Sirius XM (The best Grunge and '90s Alternative Rock). Brings me back to middle school/high school.

Dreaming about: The upcoming weeks + months. We are so excited for some changes and I hope to share soon.

Reading: I'm a pretty slow reader...I am STILL finishing the third book of the Fifty Shades of Grey series. I cannot tell you how happy I will be when I finish. I just need to knock it out. I'm over it, but I want to know how it ends. I also read Belly Laughs. It's a quick read + pretty funny. I bought it years ago and decided to give it another try. I also still need to finish The Hunger Games series too.

Looking forward to: An art show I'm in + the opening is this Friday night...

"Hanging Participles"
Opening Friday, March 15th 6-9PM
Through March 24th
Marshall Arts
639 Marshal Ave.

Drinking: Lots of water + orange juice + lemonade (I'm on a citrus kick)

Making me happy: Daylight savings :) I love that the sun is still out when I get off work and I have a few hours to enjoy it. I'm looking forward to nightly walks with Vera + Zac when it warms up.

I also went to my last pilates class this week. I am going to give yoga a try for a little while and see which I like best.

Eating: Milk + Oreos. Too much junk food (as always). I like my healthy food too though.

A little bit of...My sunday

Baked chocolate chip cookies using this recipe. I used regular flour instead since I didn't feel like buying bread + cake flour. They were pretty good but didn't stand out to be the best. I baked some immediately and they ended up being hard. I baked some after 24 hours and they were better. I still have some dough left to cook so I wonder if they will be the best?

Cooked a pot roast using this recipe. The ingredients sounded weird at first (coke, chili sauce, brown sugar and ketchup) but it was really good. I'm excited to try it again.

Looked at our growing tomatoes. All of them are pretty small right now.

Played with sweet Vera.

Helped with a friend's fantasy football draft because Zac was playing basketball. I had no idea what I was doing, haha. It was pretty nerve-racking.

Painted in the studio. I decided to use an old book that I made as a new place to paint quickly and just to have fun. It has really nice watercolor paper in it.

Wore comfy slippers Zac got me last Halloween. I'm so excited that it's getting closer to Fall. Yay!

Ate my delicious dinner :)

To be honest, it's been hard to keep up with this. I'm not even halfway through yet. I'm going to try to keep going even if it can be overwhelming at times! :) That's why I've had to put some weeks together.

♥

P.S. Check out my new Faber-Castell Mix & Match Studio Caddy. Oh yeah. I had to have it once I saw it :) Now I'm all organized instead of having everything in seperate tins + pouches. I really wanted this one that is filled with goodies, haha.

Life lately, according to my instagram.

A few Memphis Grizzlies games.

Getting my tattoo colored in.

Started a new painting.

I've decided to do the May photo a day challenge. I didn't do it in April + I sort of missed it. I think it was good to take a break for a while though. Are you going to participate?

I can't believe it's already almost May!
