Currently…

Sunrise-Brittanys-PantryHello my friends!  My sincerest apologies for my lack of posts and recipes lately.  There are several issues keeping me from blogging lately, and I have snuck out of the house to post a new Currently update.  Hopefully, it clears things up a little…

Joyful…about the sunrises here in South Carolina.  More often than not, they are breathtaking.

Eating…the frosted lemonades at Chik Fil A.  They are creamy, tangy, and feel OH so fantastic on my throat!

Needing…the get my tonsils removed.  Hence, the above mentioned frosted lemonades.  Have any of you gotten your tonsils removed as an adult?  I am NOT looking forward to it.

Reading…quite a bit actually.  But I just finished Snow Flower And The Secret Fan by Lisa See and it was exceptional.  If you love historical fiction and enjoy reading about other countries, this book is for you.9780812968064_p0_v6_s600Aggravated…by the total lack of Internet at my house.  I have had no wifi (zip, zilch, nada, nien, negative) for a month now.  Even my data signal is patchy and unreliable.  Needless to say, this is a big part of my blogging silence.  This unplanned hiatus is very frustrating and while I would like to say the end is in site, I have reservations.  One of the bummers of moving to the middle of nowhere, I guess, but come ON!  I should also mention that I am typing this while sitting in the corner of a public restaurant.  Free WiFi is da bomb.

Excited…for several things.  Summer vacation started here yesterday but also, my sister is moving from the West coast to the East coast and will be staying with us for awhile.  I canNOT wait to see her!

Unwrapping…all of my worldly possessions.  Our family moved into our newly finished dream home and I have been unpacking like crazy.  Paper everywhere.  Boxes everywhere.  Stuff everywhere.  How did we end up with so many ‘things?’

Discovering…just how much I miss writing when I can’t do it on a regular basis.

Praying…for several friends who are battling cancer right now. *sigh* I hate cancer.

Loving…having access to all my cookbooks again!  And my kitchen aid.  And my knife block.  And my immersion blender…

Working…on taking better care of myself.  So many of us Moms have this problem and I am no exception.  Trying really hard to put myself first once in awhile.

How are all of YOU doing CURRENTLY??
