What's What Wednesday

Happy Hump Day to the world! We’re halfway through the week, which means my brain has already turned to mush. As such, I am having a hard time thinking of random things to share. Lucky for me, a friend recently had a “taking stock” post to give you a snapshot of her life at that given moment. So, I’m totally going to steal her idea—just not her thunder.  Check her out here.

Currently I am…

Making: Oxygen turn into carbon dioxide. I’m something of a wizard.

Cooking: CAKES!!! I also have a lot of leftover ricotta from the cake I made last week, and I’m contemplating turning it into cannoli filling, then just shoveling it into my face. No shells required. I’m also not sure if this qualifies as “cooking” so much as “stirring.”

Drinking: Coffee, coffee, coffee.

Wanting: A new heartrate monitor. And some kick-butt gym shirts.

Looking: For direction. Just in life in general.

Reading: Unfortunately, no books. But I do get in a lot of online news sources.

Wasting: Water. I leave the faucet running while I brush my teeth. It’s very wasteful.

Trusting: That Hatch isn’t knocking over all my plants at home as we speak.

Wishing: I had a vacation coming up.

Enjoying: This cup of coffee and moment of silence.

Waiting: To be interrupted.

Liking: The research I’ve been doing on gardening. Who knew the Farmer’s Almanac could be so helpful?!?! (Answer: everyone who grows things).

Wondering: If I’ll be able to complete today’s crossword puzzle. Wednesdays are significantly harder than Mondays.

Loving: This tidbit of time during the year when you can drive with your windows down out of sheer enjoyment, and not because you’re baking in your car.

Hoping: That How To Train Your Dragon 2 is freaking amazeballs. Because it has big shoes to fill after the first iteration.

Needing: To get a haircut. I look like a damn yeti.

Anticipating: All of the weekend trips I have coming up from May through June. Wedding season is here, y’all.

Contemplating: Becoming a real-life version of The Pretender (as in the TV show), and just do a little of everything for a job. Day one: baker. Day two: ninja. Day three: librarian. Day four: professional knitter. Sounds like a dream.

Smelling: Nothing. Because I showered today. Victory on many counts.

Wearing: The same ol’ clothes. I basically cycle through the same 5 outfits. It’s sad.

Following: The T25 program. 2^nd cycle of Gamma ends next week!

Noticing: That all the leaves came on the trees really quickly over the past two days. Seriously, this past weekend, bare trees. This morning, FULL ON SPRING.

Thinking: Philosophically about math. I mean, math is crazy. Did math always exist around us and we just took the time to tap into it and figure it out? Or did we construct math and did so well with it that it happens to—more times than not—perfectly fit/describe/explain the natural world?

Exploring: Gardening. I have lots of seeds in the mail as we speak! I’ve never been able to keep plants alive, so this is also going to be quite the gauntlet.

Bookmarking: Natural self-care products. Like shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc. I am slowly making the transition over to chemical-free, if I can help it.

Opening: A strawberry greek yogurt. ‘Sup breakfast?

Giggling: At this joke I heard on the radio this morning. It involved bionic cats.

Feeling: Tired. I worked 27 hours in the past two days and came in early to work today. Coffee with a straw, please!

Here’s to your Wednesday! May it be random and awesome!

Hatch wanted to come with me to Boston this past weekend.
