Currently: The Coronavirus Edition

Current Book

I'm in various stages of 4 different books #libraryproblems
This is the one I'm the furthest into right now.
It's really funny but also covers a lot of anti-racism topics.


Current Song

You have to come back Friday to see...
I am sharing a song I'm SUPER excited about then!

Current TV Show

I'm going to see if Brent will start this with me!


Current Podcast

I'm listening to an audiobook right now.
I need to get back to The Office Ladies podcast soon!


Current Drink

I've been trying some different It Works products,
and they have a new Keto Chai Tea. It's not AMAZING,
but it's a nice little treat at the end of the day.


Current Food

Lots of home cooking over here!
Brent made chop steaks the other day, 
and I made my favorite breakfast casserole yesterday.

Current Shame-Inducing Pleasure

I've been doing a lot of online shopping!
I guess, though, it's good to keep supporting the economy??

Current Outfit

Workout clothes all day, every day!
I do NOT feel like putting real clothes on,
and that is my normal, but in these weird times,
it feels good to be a bum, ha.


Current Celebrity Crush

Brad Goreski works for E! Online, 
and he has been chronicling his attempts to make his husband's Starbucks drink.
I already love his husband, Gary Janetti, 
and their banter at 'Bradbucks' is giving me life.


Current Mood

This is kind of dumb this month - I think everyone has the same mood:
TRYING NOT TO FREAK THE EFF OUT.

Current Anticipation

Seeing friends again!!!

Current Wishlist

I don't know if I have much on here - 
We finally got a new mattress,
I bought some new clothes {LOFT is having a HUGE sale},
and I have something else I bought I'm excited to share about...soon!


2 new shirts I got for $15 each!


Current Film

SOB. Who knows?
Allison and I had been trying to get together to see The Gentlemen.
Here's hoping we can see something in May???

Current Picture

High fashion over here

Things That Aren't Canceled

Natasha had a great idea and made a list of things that aren't canceled, and I thought I would do the same thing. In this time of craziness, uncertainty, fear, confusion, sadness, anxiety...basically all emotions...I'm trying to look at the bright side!

1. My Job isn't canceled! I have 99.9% confidence that I will keep my job and paycheck. What a blessing so many people don't have right now! And working from home is my typical routine, and there are LOTS of days throughout the year where the kids are home, so this isn't totally off-the-wall for me.



2. Reading isn't canceled. Now the physical library might be closed, but that's where the beauty of an e-reader and online library checkouts come into play. Yay! I currently have 4 books checked out ha.


Trent's haul from before our library closed.

3. Exercising isn't canceled. Jazzercise is letting everyone use their on-demand service for free, I've pinned a lot of workouts, and dusted off my old Faster Way to Fat Loss workouts too!

4. Bluebonnets aren't canceled. They are BEYOND GORGEOUS this year, and I can't stop taking pictures of them.




5. Humor isn't canceled. I am loving all the memes coming out of this. I follow @lispeale on Instagram, and she normally does a #mememonday with a bunch of funny memes. She's been doing them every day this week, and I'm here for it!


This one really tickled me yesterday.

6. Speaking of Instagram, these fabulous accounts aren't canceled:

@eholmes - she's a REAL journalist and covers the royal family, she does 'So many thoughts' on their outfits and I LOVE them. She has all of them saved, so you can spend hours checking out royal outfits and her commentary. I can't wait for her book to come!

@bradgoreski - he's an E! news guy, and he has been chronicling the self-quarantine time with his husband @garyjanetti {also an amazing follow} and I watch them attempt to recreate Gary's beloved Starbucks drink every day and enjoy seeing which musical they watch and discuss each night. So silly but I love it. 

7. Family time most definitely isn't canceled - it's on the menu 24/7!



8. Enjoying nature is not canceled.


Playing in the rain ha!


9. Netflix isn't canceled. Anyone watching something good? I think this would be a great time to start a new show!

10. LOVE isn't canceled!



What isn't canceled for you? I'm debating doing some 'regular' blogging next week. Since this is the new normal for a little while, I want to maybe try and get a little bit back to normal?? I have a few posts I put off because it just didn't feel right to blog about our new bed ha. But maybe next week??

I'm curious how the weekend is going to go when we can't go anywhere or see anyone. Trent is already sad about knowing he can't see his grandparents, and we usually have a lot of activities going on. Catch you on the flip side, friends!
