Taking Stock // 01

This is what Sundays were made for. Breakfasts in comfy and warm beds. Every weekend, I tell myself I am going to be productive...it never happens. But then again, as I lay in bed today (for a long time, no judging allowed) I realized that in the long run, it helps to take rest days (but in my case, I probably take them more often than I should! Oops!)  

As I was relaxing today, I read a post from one of my favorite bloggers, Sydney at The Daybook, where she 'took stock' of her life and surroundings at the moment. So here's my take on it!

making // jewelry, as of lately. And scarfs because a person can never have enough scarves.
cooking // banana bread and roasting chestnuts. That's holiday food (sort of) right?
drinking // kombucha by the bottle, thanks to my friend. I'm now addicted, I hope you're happy. There go all my savings.
reading // The Importance of Being Earnest and laughing so hard tears well up in my eyes.
watching // The Mindy Project, constantly. I went through season 1 in one week and I have no shame.
wanting // to boogie. The urge I have to shake it has been so overwhelming. I just love to dance.
looking // forward to our first snow day, because those are the best.
playing // the new Arctic Monkey's album on repeat. Favorite songs: Do I Wanna Know? and Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
wasting // time, but then again what's new!
sewing // sadly, nothing.
wishing // that winter break would just hurry up and get here already.
enjoying // the smell our new coffee machine makes as it grinds the coffee beans each morning.
liking // knowing that our annual New Year's party is coming up because I wait for those every. single.  year.
wondering // what it's like to be completely carefree for once...hmmm, let's hope I find out.
loving // heart-to-heart's with old friends.
hoping // that I can nail the Christmas gifts this year...I always like giving gifts more than I do receiving them. Not that I don't enjoy presents, don't get me wrong hehe, but there's something about getting someone the perfect present that makes their entire face light up.
marveling // at my ability to be such an immense klutz. Seriously, it's like stairs hate me.
needing // everything, but nothing at all at the same time.
smelling // lavender, thanks to my candle that stays faithfully on my nightstand.
waiting // patiently. Only time will tell what's in store.
wearing // grey and stripes, constantly and forever. 2/3 of my closet is neutrals and it's kind of embarrassing.
following // my heart instead of my head, almost always.
noticing // the way the freezing rain is coating all the trees outside of my bedroom window and pretending I'm in a winter wonderland.
knowing // that I should slow down, take a breath, and not overthink things as much I do.
thinking // and stressing about college; where to apply, where to go, where I would actually go if I were accepted.
bookmarking // far too many unrealistic things for my Christmas list.
opening // new packets of hummus. Seriously, it's kind of like Christmas morning whenever I get to.
giggling // over silly things, like all the snapchats I've been receiving today, or the funny youtube videos I've been watching instead of studying.
feeling // excited about Dad coming home after two months tomorrow. I can't even begin to explain my excitement.
