currents of march

Ideally, I will have this done before midnight. I’m so taking it right up to the edge this month! But at least this way it is more reflective of what’s happened in the month of March. Right? 🙂

current book(s)
Desire – John Eldredge
Cloud Atlas – David Mitchell

The usual. Maybe I should make it a goal to have them both done by May. I will have to ponder this. Or, more importantly, read them both more than a chapter or two at a time, once or twice a month.

current shame-inducing guilty pleasure
Putting semi-sweet chocolate chips in my granola. Ones with actual SUGAR, and not some healthier/more natural sweetener, even. (I’ll probably try that recipe without the cinnamon next time. And I’m thinking grain sweetened chocolate chips, or chopped 70-something – 85% cacao chocolate.)

current favorite colors
magenta, black

current favorite drink
Digging on the water lately. And Diet Dr. Pepper.

current outfit
I had taken some pictures of my outfit, because saying the day was too nice out  to make my hemline comply with hiding the rather sizable bruise on my left thigh could sound better or worse than it may, in actuality, be. Plus I had a new skirt to take for a spin since it was finally nice enough to do so.  And then I went and changed into a navy camisole and black shorts with white trim from the juniors section (which means they’re pretty short). I am not taking a photo of that. Anyway, since I mentioned it, the previous outfit (black mini, black cami, magenta cardi thing) and in the one photo that actually got the bruise in view:


current fragrance
I put on Bath & Body Works’ Country Chic lotion when I got out of the shower. And then later I decided to wear Be Delicious Fresh Blossom. B&BW stuff tends to fade pretty easily without layering, so I mostly smell like the Be Delicious Fresh Blossom.

current wish list
to be done with Claritin dosing (I seem to be closing in on that with a combination of enzymes and raw local honey)
sunbathing! (within reason, I have no desire to look like a catcher’s mitt, ever)
jasmine green tea (it’s too late for that right now, but I wants)

current music

Ellie Goulding – Heartbeats (cover)

 
Volcano Choir – Island, IS

Ane Brun – Sleeping By the Fyris River

Deftones – Passenger

current anticipation
Seeing Ashley a week from Saturday! And getting new feathers! Which I’m actually kind of iffy on. They are more feather-looking for the most part. I’m pretty partial to the saddle feathers I’ve got now. But it’s fun to try new things, right? 🙂

current triumph
Scoring some sweet purple glittery flip flops when I went to pick up the new medium point Sharpie pens!


current indulgence
Making chocolate chip cookies when I got a chocolate craving one afternoon. Which meant I had to go pick up chocolate chips because there wasn’t enough in the house. 🙂 Apparently the theme for March was CHOCOLATE!

current blessings
life, health & sunshine!
