Watching: I just finished a maj binge of Scandal on Netflix. The first few episodes didn’t really thrill me – usually those sorts of political dramas don’t get me – but I stayed focused and OMG I’m glad I did because it’s SO good! I must admit that Kerry Washington’s facial expressions bug me sometimes, but other than that it’s def worth watching!

Loving: My Cougar booties. I bought these bad boys about a month ago and I swear I probably wear them 5 times a week. They are comfortable, water proof and go with pretty much everything. Not to mention they are a reasonable $100 bucks. I might have to buy the taupe/grey pair. Oh wait, I just did 🙂

Listening to: Potential wedding music. I can’t listen to the radio without thinking if a song should be on our list. I should probably start writing things down. Music is VERY important to the fiance so I know that we’ll be scouring hours upon hours of music to create the perfect musical ambiance.

Doing: Oh gosh, what am I not doing these days? Work is picking up steam and from now until mid-May I’m going to be a busy gal! I’m planning my spring garden, finally decorating our living room, trying to schedule a dog teeth cleaning, growing out my hair, attempting to get my butt in shape…..you know, the usual beginning of the year tasks 🙂

Reading: Nothing right now. Womp, womp. I need to get back into my ebook loans from the library one of these days….

Eating: I’m back on the Weight Watchers train so eating has become a bit less fun these days. Fruit and veggies are topping the list and pizza with extra cheese and cookies are moving towards the bottom. This gal had a little too much over the holidays so it’s time to reign in back in. We booked our engagement photo shoot for early March so I’ve got a mini goal in sight!
 
Thinking about: What to get my parents for their birthdays at the end of the month. It’s hard to think of another gift right after the holidays people! I’d like to get them something small then take them on some sort of Seattle adventure that includes seeing/doing something new and perhaps trying a new restaurant. Open to any and all suggestions!

Reading: Now that I’m not taking the bus to work, I’ve consumed far fewer books lately, which is kinda sad. AND, we don’t even have cable so there’s plenty of down time in the evenings….gotta get back on the book train! But I did recently read The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain (in hard copy no doubt!) It took me about two weeks to finish it, but man, it was good! It’s about Ernest Hemingway and his first wife Hadley. Super well written, a bit romantic, a bit dramatic…..def a worth while read.

Eating: Well I’m trying to not eat a bunch of sugar these days. Sugar is a big one for me….cookies, doughnuts, anything frosted….. and my acupuncturist thought it would be a good idea to cut it out of my diet for 10 days to see how I felt. I had a very difficult time eliminating it completely, but did lower my intake by at least 85%, which I thought was pretty good. Gawd, sugar is in EVERYTHING. It was so annoying to think a product was free of sugar to turn it over and find 1g written on the nutritional information. Unfortunately, I really didn’t notice much of a change after 10 days. Perhaps I need to go for a longer period of time? I dunno. Either way, I’m def keeping better track of my sugar consumption and keeping it on the lower end.

Thinking about: Our wedding, which is over a year away. The venue is lined up, the photographer is booked, our first catering meeting is next week…..man, it’s never ending and far more annoying then I had imagined. I thought me being an event planner would make this a fun project, but it’s far from that. I don’t hate the planning aspect, but I’m def not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Maybe because it feels more like work??? Either way, I’m ready to take some time off of planning to enjoy the holidays and will pick it back up in January.

Watching: Sons of Anarchy, Season 5. Oh man, when I found out that Netflix had Season 5 available, I cancelled all of my plans and spent most of Saturday glued to my ipad. I blew through the first four season in a matter of weeks and had been eagerly anticipating the next season. People, this show is SO FREAKING GOOD! Maj drama, crazy story lines and a lil eye candy (Hey Charlie Hunnam!)….I can’t rave enough about this show. I seriously want to buy a motorcycle and join a bike club.

Loving: Like I’ve said before, I’m seriously loving our new home. We’ve had a few parties and smaller dinners here already and I must say, it’s a pretty decent entertaining space (when the heating works). I can’t wait to have summer parties in our backyard – I’ve already got a few ideas in mind 🙂 And let’s not forget about our neighborhood….dropping into Georgetown for sushi at The Cutting Board or hittin’ up Rainier BBQ for pho and deep fried quail….it’s all good (and cheap!) eats around here!
