Taking Stock: February Edition

I found this concept of Taking Stock on a fellow blogger’s site and thought it would be a great way for you to get to know me a little better…please feel free to post your “taking stock” responses in the comments section – I’d love to read it!

Taking Stock February Edition
Making: headway with my blog!

Cooking: a lot of soups lately since we have been having our version of cold weather.  What’s not better than soup when it is chilly out?

Drinking: Right this minute I am drinking a tall iced coffee with soy and one sweet n low.  I have been slowly weaning myself off of Starbucks because I would go there twice a day.  NOT a good thing when you’re trying to reassess your spending!  I have been loving iced green tea and hot tea as well these past few weeks.

Reading: Boy have I read some awesome books this month.  Between The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus and Me Before You, I have super high expectations for all following novels!  I am now reading a book for a review – stay tuned…it seems pretty good so far.

Wanting: to get our landscaping in the front of our house in order…I know that is probably boring to you but I look at it everyday and its not like I can do the work (ahem BABE….)

Looking: for a new blog design and logo. It has been so much fun so far, but when you give me too many options I get all flustered.  In a good way of course.  Stay tuned…

Playing: that stinking Pyramid card game app on my phone.  Addicting but I will not allow myself to spend money on it (not like Farm Hero Saga where at the end of the month I would laugh at the amount of times I saw “Google Play” line items on my credit card statement).

Wasting: this is a hard one.  I need to get back to you on this.  LOL.

Sewing: hahahahahaha.  Well no, I do have to sew a button on my sweater that popped off the other day.

Wishing: I was hanging out with my sister.  I miss her 🙁

Enjoying: my time home.  I’ve worked since I first got my worker’s permit – even before then I would babysit.  It took a lot of getting used to but I now have a groove going and am really enjoying the time home and with the boys.

Waiting: For my Stitch Fix box.  I’m lame, I know LOL.

Liking: the new series Togetherness.  It’s funny and we needed a thirty minute show to add to the rotation so it was perfect.

Wondering: if I am ever going to get my Virtual Assistant business up and running.  No, I will – I am on my way!

Loving: basically the same thing I am enjoying above

Hoping: that my TMJ is truly getting better

Marveling: at the fact that it is going to be a high of 90 today.  Ridic.

Needing: to pick out my outfit for an upcoming conference.  Totally procrastinating here.

Smelling: nothing much – I’m a bit stuffy now.

Wearing: during the day I wear workout clothes and usually my nights are filled with sporting events so that entails jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt and maybe a light jacket.

Following: I have found a lot of wonderful bloggers to follow this month.

Noticing: that my boys are growing up…too fast too.

Knowing: that I need to clean the cushions outside…they’ll be clean before Spring LOL

Thinking: about ISIS and how scary it all really is.

Feeling: generally good about everything!

Bookmarking: articles on social media, virtual assistance, books to read!

Opening: a new chapter of my life – scared but loving it at the same time.

Feeling: the first word that came to mind is Happy (followed by me humming Pharrell).  The second word is Awesome (followed by that annoying Lego song).

Quick photo opp before Dad hightailed it to the ho Quick photo opp before Dad hightailed it to the hospital to see Mom!

She is now in a ward where she can have a visitor and he hasn't seen her since January 8th (we haven't since Christmas).

Guys, take COVID seriously if you are not already doing so. There's no rhyme or reason. No rules or regulations. The doctors and nurses are doing their absolute best, learning along with us. 

The past 18 days have been heartbreaking, then uplifting - wash, rinse, repeat. 

Now, to get my mama home and stronger!
#MondayMotivation is dedicated to our beautiful mo #MondayMotivation is dedicated to our beautiful mom, Susan. She is by far the most caring, friendliest, warmest person. 

Once you meet her, she immediately welcomes you to the family and becomes your biggest fan. 

We're so thankful and proud to have her as our mom. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers 🙏

Watch out 🌎 - once she's home, she's going to heal and be back to her usual super loving self. 

Thank you so much for the well wishes and prayers - our family is eternally grateful.
