Reading || I came across an Emily Giffin book for 50% off, and had to have it! I had originally purchased the book for our camping trip, but I never got around to just being able to read. I've been trying to add more things to my evenings, other than blogging and FarmVille (hey, it's calming!) and reading a book seemed like a good place to start. The one I'm reading now is called Where We Belong. I've always loved Emily Giffin's books, and this is no exception.
Wishlisting || I signed up for The Great Christmas Exchange 2014 this time around, and I am too excited! They have it attached to a website called Elfster, which is pretty straightforward and easy to favourite way too many things ;) I've also gotten some early Christmas shopping in (for once) through Etsy. I'm also kinda sorta maybe browsing for me, too.
Loving || The energy I find myself having after a full day of work. I actually found the energy to go to the gym after work yesterday, and not one single regret was felt. I would have regretted had I not gone, but that's a whole post in itself.
Appreciating || I'm not sure which switch was turned on, but I've been finding myself thinking more and more about how much my husband does for me and I've been appreciating him more. I'm not getting snappy (as often, hehe) when he asks me to grab him something, or put something away. I'm not the only person who has a 9-5 job, he does too. He's also outside all day and the weather will soon be -30*C!
Creating || A fitness plan that I can stick to! The other one I had in the beginning of the year didn't work out, so I tagged along with another friend (don't worry, I'm still friends with my other workout buddy!) who goes to the gym a couple times a week. She showed me her workout, and it's definitely more affordable and doable for me on my own. I have another installment coming up for My Fitness Journey series, and I'll tell you all about it! I've only started on Saturday and gone to the gym twice, and have lost a pound!
I'm linking up my Currently post with Jenna from Dearest Love, and Anne from In Residence. On the first Wednesday of every month, we all get together and share what we're currently up to!
I can't wait to read your posts!

Stopping by from the Currently linkup!! I joined The Great Christmas Exchange too!! I'm so excited to see who my partner is and look for something to get her :)
ReplyDeleteI've never read any Emily Giffin - will have to look into her books! And feeling energetic - that's awesome. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI really love the "something borrowed" mini series. It includes Something Blue as well! There was a movie called Something Borrowed with Ginnifer Goodwin in it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :) I am wayyyy too excited to find out, too!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for the Christmas Exchange as well- it should be lots of fun! Great choices
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Exchange is going to be so much fun! I also keep finding things I want to buy for myself while I'm online shopping for others! It's dangerous! Ha.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited!
ReplyDeleteAhaha, me too! I'm getting antsy to find out who I'll be sending a package to! I can't wait to put the package together and wrap it all pretty!
