-ing

I loved this little exercise in self-awareness on luv in the mommyhood… I’d love to hear what y’all are “-ing” as well!

Making : a wedding gift for some friends
Cooking : dinners to freeze (lots of dinners to freeze) for the baby boom that is our life right now
Drinking : Sonic (diet coke with vanilla and ice-of-glory)
Reading: a whole stack of sewing books from the library
Wanting: summer to come back!
Looking: forward to some girl time with Heidi at the Junior League holiday fair this weekend
Playing: “get-you” with Burke… it’s a huge hit around here
Wasting: basil, two whole plants of it, in our garden by not repotting before the first frost… darn it!
Sewing: Christmas stockings for my family! YAY!
Wishing: that planning a trip was in the budget… alas, it is not
Enjoying: the push to stock our etsy shop with cards and ornaments and gifts for Christmas- have I mentioned how much I love the ‘idea’ stage of the creative process?
Waiting: for Adam to be done with dental school… too bad I have two and a half years before this wait is over 😉
Liking: Jordi’s brilliant shoe idea… between the black flats we made while she was here and the bronze-y ones I picked up yesterday, I think my winter shoe wardrobe might be set
Wondering: if all of my tomatoes were taken by this weekend’s ice storm… let’s hope not!
Loving: that my hot hubbie and I got to dance (and dance! and dance!) at a wedding reception Saturday night… thank goodness for in-laws that double as superdiligent babysitters (ps- the picture of me and adam above is from said reception)
Hoping: for good news after my father-in-law’s PET scan tomorrow
Marvelling: that it is already October- how can this be?
Needing: to run… at least three times before the Denver Marathon relay (next Sunday!)
Smelling: rain and ice and fallen leaves
Wearing: Aeropostale sweat pants, a Special Olympics tshirt, a fleece and my Uggs- I get cold easily
Following: DIY day at A Soft Place to Land
Noticing: the clock- how is it already bed time?
Knowing: that no matter how many predictions I hear about the rough winter to come, it would be colder in PA
Thinking: that I should clean my laundry room this week
Bookmarking: the once-a-month cooking all stars at recipezaar– I’m always up for recipes that freeze well!
Opening: ReadyMade magazine- fabulous!
Giggling: at my sweet white-haired baby boy and his affection for cleaning, popcorn, berries (which he calls, “babies,”), and tweezers
Feeling: sick… Burke and I just keep getting little bugs… yuck!

***I hardly ever put personal pictures on here, but my family made the cut in almost every “-ing” so they get the photo spots as well. 🙂
