So remember when I did the first one of these lists a month or so back? And I debated whether or not I should make this a monthly series? Well folks, I've decided to roll with the idea. With January coming to a close, or any month for that matter, I feel like it's important to take a step back a re-evaluate all that has happened in the time span of four short weeks. To take a second and consider what you're feeling/thinking/experiencing. With that in mind, say goodbye to January and hello to February.
making // time for more things and people this year, instead of becoming overwhelmed by work and school.
cooking // and taste tasting cakes for sweet Annie's birthday next week. hopefully she doesn't read this...shhh it's supposed to be a secret.
drinking // coffee. what else haha? i tried to wean myself off of it but that was hopeless. especially since i keep buying new coffee mugs from IKEA each time we go.
reading // the joy luck club by amy tan and finding myself relating to the stories of the chinese immigrant's daughters, nodding along and agreeing with how they view their culture in relation to the american one in which they live. a great read.
watching // this month, i'm ashamed to say it's 'dawson's creek' i know i know, it's the cheesiest of the cheesy teen shows but i think it's that cheesiness that got me addicted in the first place. except, i don't gush over dawson like all the other girls, its pacey i would choose.
wanting // that dream new york apartment with the exposed brick walls, or that perfect victorian house with the bay windows and the wrap around porch, neither of which i will ever have.
looking // forward to what this year will bring.
playing // the neighborhood's new album, 'i love you', on repeat.
wasting // my paycheck on books and coffee the second i get it. oops.
sewing // a botchy apron because i cook ~so~ often. that makes sense, right?maybe my apron will inspire me to spend more time in the kitchen and actually learn to cook something besides pasta.
wishing //that summer would just get here already.
enjoying //all these random snow days we've had recently, even if they have pushed graduation into june by now.
liking //waking up earlier than everyone else and having a little bit of quiet time in the morning.
wondering // how many more boots i can buy before i get cut off.
loving // the satisfaction you get after completing something particularly difficult or long, or just something that you've been putting off.
hoping // that second semester of school is easy and i don't have a panic attack as things start to wind down, and decisions about college have to be made, and ap tests and finals have to be taken.
marveling // at my ability to disregard rules i set for myself such as 'do not stay up past midnight tonight, lus' and then staying up until 2-3am reading people's blogs. and this happened three nights in a row. self-control at its finest - no wonder i'm always tired haha.
needing // to be back in mexico.
smelling // the cold. is that a thing, does cold even have a smell? for my sake, and for the sake of this post let's pretend it does.
waiting // for summer, for graduation, and for all the fun adventures I plan to have in the meantime.
wearing // the standard uniform of skinny jeans, ankle boots, and neutral sweaters, topped off with a scarf and a bag twice the size of my torso slung over my shoulder. no jacket, i have a thing against jackets - just ask anyone and they'll confirm.
following // too many tv shows that come off of hiatus after december that i can't keep up.
noticing // my relentless restlessness and my need to constantly keep busy or be on the move.i've got an itch to travel and explore that is dying to get scratched. i constantly need new scenery.
knowing // that i need an endless supply of money to do all i want to do. but also knowing that will never happen. i guess what i'm trying to say is, i know there always comes a time for compromise.
thinking // how life would be so much easier if people knew what we were thinking, and vice versa.
bookmarking // all the ikea furniture i will one day buy and decorate my own place with.
opening // my first college acceptances *fist-pumps triumphantly*
giggling // with the little girl i babysit as we lay on the couch and watch funny cat videos on youtube.
feeling // scared, but excited, but apprehensive, but ready - for so many reasons.
learning // that everything comes in due time.
