Why in tarnation have I never done a "Currently" post? Kinda fun and cough cough; warranted when your brain is like mush due to activity overload and you're lacking time, motivation or brilliance or all of the above. Yep, this girl is tired and ready for nothing on my brain except when a wonton mozzarella sick getting in my mouth, which martini to order, and "what time are we going down to the beach?" is the biggest decision of the day....coming soon.
Throwing a fit about: People who don't say "hi" back. Especially at work. For years, I have worked for a large healthcare system..healthcare people, where compassion is a MUST!! For some reason, people just are not as friendly as they used to be. Hello's and smiles and camaraderie used to fill the halls, but the past couple years, many of my friendly hallway "hellos" have been completely ignored and people look straight ahead with no return smile for you. The sweet ladies in my office and I are constantly frustrated by it, but I think it is the general tone and turn our sad world has taken, I won't stop saying "hi" but shame on you if you cannot return the gesture!!
Reading: or rather I should say "getting ready to read" because let's face it with this being the busiest year of our lives, this lady was buried in adhesives, pictures and college forms, not in a book! However, my times are a changing and slowing down so the book of choice is Sleep Tight by Rachael Abbott. I got it for my mom and now it's my turn as she said it's great!!
Daydreaming about: Fireworks over the lake and family time.
What are you currently eating/thinking/wishing/needing/etc.?

Listening to: JT, I Can't Stop This Feeling.... Cole Swindell....Middle of a Memory, PitBull w/ Enrique Iglesias (he's soooo hot)...Messin' Around; and lots of old school country,
My boy, Cole Swindell, remember the retweet last summer? HERE
Thinking: That my husband is even more wonderful than I thought!!! As I've told you, college orientation was tough on this mama, plus I had a terrible summer cold but Mr. Nine kept me as calm as he could and went with the flow, getting me whatever I needed. Not gonna lie, after my son was off to his next destination, I got in the car and bawled my eyes out and told my Mr. there is no way I could've done it without him. Thinking I'm lucky and I'm grateful!!
Looking forward to: Going barefoot. In the title currently pic today, my awkward stance is due to leaning down to take off off sandals. I go barefoot as much as possible in the summer. Kickin off flip flops is an athletic event for me.
Drinking: Malibu and Pineapple Juice, vitamin water zero lemonade and water. Yep, literally rotated all 3 today.
Eating: Terra Vegetable chips and German Bologna and muenster cheese. I have always loved the terra chips and for some odd reason, like to eat them when I'm sitting in the sun. Since we live near Amish country, they have some great meat and cheese shops and their homemade German Bologna and muenster cheese are so scrumptious!!

Wanting: A blog-cation. The Blended Blog sisters and I have discussed this and it's not just me, it's not just you, but we bloggers are in need of a blog-cation, a break from technology, some old school, no social media chill time. Like I told some dear friends of mine...sometimes this technology crazed world is hurting us..there are lost moments, lost interactions and a fog that sweeps over us. I'll be taking a week off soon for the fog to clear....
My favorite spot is waiting for me where my head will be in a book or magazine...not an electronic device!
Feeling: Tired and nostalgic. Graduation season kicked my butt physical, mentally, financially and emotionally but I wouldn't change a thing. Everyday these last couple weeks I've thought about a moment I loved, the waves of pride sweeping over me or something that was done or said. One of my favorite things that was said by a son the day after his grad party melted my heart and put it all in perspective: We were reminiscing over the party and going through his cards. I said "I cannot believe so and so didn't come?" My son looked at me and said "Mom, it's ok, just the thought that we invited them is nice. It's the invite that counts." Thats when it hit me...I've done my job as a mom!!
Confused about: The World we live in. So much so that all most of us can say these days is "Why?" and when is it going to change for the better?
Patiently waiting for: Popcorn to get in my mouth and another episode of Prison Break! The binge watch of the summer for the Mr. And I and it is spectacular, like every episode packed with a twist. As soon as I finish this post, it's showtime!!
