A whole bunch of bloggers are participating in a mid year stock take of
their lives. I found this one through Jo at iCurvy who is one of my fave Aussie
bloggers.
The middle of the year seems to be a good time to do a review of my life
and see where things are at - to just step back and take stock.
So here
it is, my 2014 mid year stocktake. It will be interesting to look back on this
and see how it changes over the next 6 months/year/few years.
Making: Endless online wishlists... Modcloth, PinUp Girl,
ASOS.
Cooking: Curries, homemade
pizza.
Drinking: Water mostly, the
occasional hot choc.
Reading: Lots of free books
on my tablet. I mostly use Kindle. Some of the free books are a bit crap, but
I’ve also managed to read some really good stuff.
Wanting: Red coat from City
Chic, dresses from Modcloth.
Looking: At the snow on the
mountains around Canberra.
Playing: Pharaoh/Cleopatra PC
game. So old school, but I LOVE it.
Deciding: On how/where to spend
our holiday later this year. Beach here I come.
Wishing: For a baby. I have
been for so many years now.
Enjoying: Pizza. Man I love
pizza. I swear I could eat it every single day and not get sick of
it.
Waiting:
For this TTC journey to finally work.
Liking: Charcoal pore strips
- I love regular pore strips, but the charcoal ones are so much better at
ripping the crap out of your face - and all the better for seeing it
too.
Wondering:
If I am ever going to
get to have a baby. And feeling pretty scared that maybe it wont ever happen for
us.
Loving: My husband.
We're both struggling through this trying to conceive journey, but we're in it
together and we're at a good place as a couple at the moment.
Pondering: How my life is
nothing like what I thought it would be at this age. I'm about to turn 30. I
thought I'd have a house and be almost done with having kids at this age. I
don't have either of those things. It makes me really sad.
Considering: whether I can really
live this far away from the beach. I miss seeing the ocean on a regular
basis.
Watching: Offspring (hello
Lawrence, when’d you get so damn fine) and Winners and
Losers (please tell me Jonathon isnt really gone ?!?!
sob)
Hoping: for a baby. (Are you seeing a theme here?) I want this so badly and
trying and failing is killing me.
Marvelling: at my head/hearts
ability to keep hoping, even after all this
time.
Needing: to focus on something
other than babies and trying to concieve.
Smelling: A chocolate
perfume from Sephora.
Wearing: A big coat over
everything cos this weather is so cold. Boots. Jeans.
Following: the Aussie Curves weekly
challenges – I love seeing what all the ladies put
together.
Noticing: that I am getting
fitter.
Knowing: That somehow, no
matter what happens, we’ll figure this out together and it will be ok one
day.
Thinking:
positively – or at
least, trying to.
Feeling: Content.
Happy. Sad. Hopeful. Worried.
Admiring: All the fantastic
looking coats/jackets/cold weather gear that are actually flattering – why do I
always look like a frumpy eskimo?
Sorting: All the boring
tax/super etc related crap
Buying: Hand cream for my
poor winter cracked hands.
Getting: Excited for my
birthday later this month.
Bookmarking: Recipes - mostly
delicious looking cakes and slices.
Disliking: Wind that whips
straight off the snow - it stings and everything just freezes.
Opening: personal emails
constantly throughout the day – helps me get through my work day with a smile on
my face.
Giggling: At How I Met
Your Mother re-runs.
Snacking: Trying to eat well
at the moment so not snacking much, but if I was it would be Rolo chocolate or
Twix. Or chips. Or Turkish bread and dip. (Ok yeah, I’m a little
hungry)
Coveting: An amazing,
flattering va-voom wardrobe that's easy to just throw on without thinking too
much.
Helping: As many clients
as I can.
Hearing:
Have been revisiting
John Butler Trio ‘Grand National’ lately – have had it on
repeat.
