Currently: May 2015

I’m soooo excited that it’s Friday! Not that my weekdays and weekends are much different at the moment since I’m not working BUT Henri has the day off today so we get to go on a date!

I haven’t done a currently post since February (my bad!!) and since things have changed so much since then I thought it was time for a new one. šŸ˜€

This month Iā€™m CURRENTLYā€¦.

ADJUSTINGā€¦ to being in school mode again! I’m so excited to be working towards my Masters but after being out of school for 3 years the first two weeks were a little bit of a shock – reading, homework assignments… what are those? Not to mention that technology has changed the way professors run classes – if anyone has tips on Blackboard please let me know!  

LOVING… these grey rainy days. They don’t come around often in California and we really need the rain so it’s been great!

NERVOUS… about my job interview this afternoon! It is for a job that I really, really want so fingers crossed it all goes well! šŸ™‚  

THINKING… about what to get Henri for his birthday next week. He is so hard to shop for so I never really know which direction to go. 

PLANNINGā€¦ a trip for our 2 year anniversary. Last year Henri and I were with my entire family in Wyoming on our anniversary and this year we’ll be apart because I’ll be in New York for my dad’s retirement party and Henri has to stay here for work so sometime in June/July we’re hoping to get away just the two of us to celebrate. I can’t believe that it’s almost been 2 years since our wedding!

EXCITEDā€¦ for some fun races coming up at the end of the month. I’m running the Laguna Hills Memorial Day 5K and the San Diego Rock N Roll Half (as long as they let me move down from the full marathon). I’m psyched to see where I’m at with my 5K fitness and am hoping for a half marathon PR at San Diego!  

SAVORINGā€¦ having our own apartment! It was great to live with my family this past year and we are so so thankful that my parents opened their home to us in that way BUT it sure it nice to have a space that is 100% ours!

 

ROCKINGā€¦ some pretty serious runner tan lines – which means that I’ve got my Garmin 620 on 24/7 to cover it up. Of course that only makes it worse – ha!!

EATINGā€¦ eggs over easy on top of sauteed sweet potatoes and spinach. This has been my go-to lunch recently! Top it with avocado and Trader Joe’s sriracha sauce and it is soooo tasty!

NEEDINGā€¦ to do some running shoe shopping. The sneaks I’m currently running in are getting old so I really need some new ones but I’m not quite ready to spend the money quite yet. Right now I’m eyeing the Adidas Boston Boost for my workout/racing shoe.

WEARINGā€¦ shorts!!!!!! I can even describe how good it feels to be in warmer weather and be able to head out the door for a run in shorts and a tank top! No more layers for this girl!

DRINKINGā€¦ Iced coffee. I’ve never really been a big fan of iced coffee but the first week we were in Cali it was in the 90’s everyday so I was desperate for a cool drink. I tried making it with coconut cream (from the can) instead of milk and it totally changed by attitude about iced coffee – you’ve got to try it!

What are you currently thinking, planning, eating, drinking, reading, etc.??

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend??
