January Currently

My first post of 2015 is a link up with Farley over at Oh Boy 4th Grade. It's my January currently:

Listening: Friends is on Netflix now, don't ya know?

Loving: I got a Fitbit for Christmas, basically, and I'm kind of obsessed with tracking my steps and calories. I think it's exactly what I need to stay on track this time!!

Thinking: I am going to SPAIN in 60 days!!! I can't wait!!!

Wanting: The box I store all of our Christmas stuff in is in the storage closet on the patio and it's currently 14 degrees. I have no desire to go out there and dig it out.

Needing: I shaved my head in June for St. Baldrick's and while I'm keeping it shorter until after Spain, I hate when it gets too scruffy.

Yes: Getting fit. I lost 40 pounds 4 years ago and have been telling myself I was just trying to maintain my weight because I literally went to the gym three times last year. Whoops. So I gained about half of that back. I don't look as flabby as I used to because while I wasn't going to the gym, I was still trying to keep eating responsibly. My goal is 40 more pounds this year and then actually maintain it (for real this time, I swear!).

Maybe: We're discussing going to California for my birthday next year (I'm turning 30). Hubs has family out there who live near Disneyland so I thought it would be a fun opportunity to cross off the other Disney park and celebrate entering a new decade of my life.

I Wish: We currently live in a condo and I'm tired of renting and tired of not having a basement (esp. when the Midwest tornado season hits). Plus, hubs wants a dog and I refuse to get one until we have a yard in which it can run. I recognize that my maybe AND my wish can't happen at the same time. Damn money...

Hope your new year has gotten off to a great start!!

November Currently

How is it possibly November already? Unbelievable.

I'm linking up with Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade again for her November Currently Linky.

Listening: Did you know that Gilmore Girls is on Netflix? It's my favorite TV Show in the whole world and I own them all on DVD. But having them on Netflix means I don't have to change the disc every 4 episodes. Sweet!!

Loving: Planning my sister in law's baby shower. She's due January 12, the shower is in early December, and I've taken on the decorations and games. I'm sooooo excited. 

Thinking: I only have, like, 5 assignments left this semester but I have no motivation to do any of them. I'm not enjoying my classes this semester, I think it part of it.

Wanting: Between crafting for my SIL's shower and prepping lesson plans, my house is a disaster.

Needing: One of these days I'm going to get my SLANT Box out on time. This is not that month. Grrr. So glad my partner Maja at Kooky Kinders is forgiving!

Reading: I have a gazillion books I want to read. but they have to wait until I get my grad school stuff finished.

I have a post coming later today or tomorrow about Halloween. Stay tuned!

September Currently

Well, I still have yet to make an actual post on here, but I thought I'd just jump in feet first into the teacher blogging world with September's Currently (via Oh Boy 4th Grade). I've seen these in the blogs that I've followed for years, so I'm actually kind of excited to participate for the first time.

LISTENING: Once Upon a Time is one of my favorite shows (I'm a sucker for all things fairy tale) and I'm binge watching in anticipation of the 4th season beginning at the end of the month.

LOVING: My blog design. It's what I spent most of my Labor Day doing and I am very very proud of it. =) 

THINKING: I need to do a post on my first week or two of school. I love the new year and the possibilities it brings. 

WANTING: I inherited my grandmother's car when she died in December. It's a ten year old car with less than 55,000 miles on it; we expect to get a good chunk of cash off of it.

NEEDING: I have most things prepped, but I have a few more things to make sure I have printed; I also have to make sure I have Wednesday prepped because it's my day off. (I teach in a childcare setting; my school is open 6:30-6 and I work four 10-hour days and I'm off on Wednesdays.)

3 TRIPS: I'm going to Spain in March (as long as we sell our extra car!!), hubs and I are headed to New York at the end of the month, and I really would like to return to Costa Rica (we went there last summer on a mission trip).

I guess I should go and get to prepping now...
