Smells Like Pre-Teen Spirit

How is this little guy TWELVE today?

He's turning into such a teenager - some good, some bad {grin}!

He's sleeping LATE, eating like a horse, starting to smell...

But also picking up responsibility and maturing before our eyes.

I can still remember these first moments with him brand new.

I will never forget how awed I was that he was HERE and I was a MOM.

Love him more than words can say!

Currently

Current Book

Started both of these over the weekend.

Current Song

I introduced the girls to Wicked, and Drew is LOVING it!

Lots of Defying Gravity in our house lately.

Current TV Show

I just finished Atlantic Crossing and it was AWESOME.

One of the characters was also in The Last Kingdom, 

and I only watched 1 season of that, so I want to start it again.

Plus, the same friend who told me about Atlantic Crossing told me about Sanditon {which is based on Jane Austen's unfinished novel}, and I want to try it too. 

Plus it has Theo James in it, who I love!

Current Podcast/Audiobook

I've listened to one episode of this and am really enjoying it already!

Current Drink

I would say 95% of the time I get my chai lattes hot.

But I got an iced one {without ice, ha} on Saturday, and it was delicious!

Current Food

Got Chipotle for dinner last night with the kids.

It continues to be one of my FAVORITES!

Current Shame-Inducing Pleasure

In addition to the 2 books mentioned above, 

I'm also doing a speed-read of one of my favorite romance series.

And to clarify, it isn't the fact that I'm reading romance novels that is shame-inducing...more that I've read this series too many times to count!

Current Outfit

Post Jazzercise workout in a super old tank top. 

Had to change into my glasses after I finished because my eyes were burning!

Maybe this awful garbage tank top should be my shame-inducing moment?

Current Celebrity Crush

Tobias Santelmann -

pics from him in The Last Kingdom and Atlantic Crossing-swoon!

Current Mood

SO READY for some time off - 

my company is giving us a 5-day weekend for July 4, and I am PUMPED!

[And yes, I did send this to my boss. {grin} She laughed.]

Current Anticipation

Somebody turns TWELVE on Wednesday!

How is this possible??

Current Wishlist

I've been shopping for fun 4th of July tank tops.

I am really excited for a more normal holiday weekend!!

Current Movie

I just read this book - now I want to watch the movie on Netflix!

Current Picture

My sister and I took our mom out Saturday to celebrate her 70th birthday.

I'm not sure when the last time was the 3 of us were together without kids.

We had A BLAST!
