Okay, I know I was only going to do this once a month but I love the whole idea of it and it was almost two weeks ago that I posted the last Currently.
Plus, I’m gotten so into the big #40days#40bags de-cluttering project, I want to keep the momentum going and keep dumping!
So here’s what I’m currently up to. How about you?
Currently | 1.27.15
Watching | The final episode of Downton Abbey!
I have no patience to watch week-to-week so I binge-watched the rest of the season last night and will finish The Christmas episode as soon as I post this. Here’s a link if you want to do the same.
Reading | The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh
I just started it, and am already sucked in
Working On | Getting out of jury duty
How are you supposed to take all that time away from life?
Feeling | Lighter
I lost 5 pounds on Jenny Craig my first week, and I’ve gotten rid of probably 50 pounds in my house
Planning | Valentine’s Day
The Kimpton Hotel Palomar has an awesome-sounding Lazy Lover package I’m considering 🙂
Loving | Winter in San Diego
Hearing about the potential Snowpocalypse on the East Coast makes me appreciate the winter rain in the pool, above
My Favorite Photo | The Cute Tomato’s birthday
I’m so lucky I got to celebrate my mom’s 85th birthday with her
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
Ugh, jury duty is the worst. I hope you get out of it.
Carmen Perez (listen2mama) says
Oh I just love this and I think I might borrow this idea for my own blog! I am also loving the “winter” weather we’ve had here in Miami for the last 2 days!
Ourfamilyworld (@OurFamilyWorld) says
oh for Jury Duty. I love your mom’s birthday. It was sweet
Lesley says
Its snowing pretty bad on the East Coast. So glad I moved to Arizona.
Pam says
Jury Duty is the worst. My husband was selected to be on the Grand Jury, so he has it every month now!
Cathy Chester says
Ok, here goes: I am two episodes behind you on DA. I hate hearing about SD weather for obvious reasons. Your cute tomato is so adorable, beautiful and lovely and has a great smile. And I hate hearing about SD weather. Oh, I said that. Well, too bad! 🙂
When can we discuss a few things about DA. I need someone to talk to! I told Gary but since he doesn’t watching it he probably thinks I’m raving! Well, I am!
Carol Cassara says
Come on over to my house and help me lose weight and house pounds!
Heather says
Ha! Good luck getting out of Jury Duty. My hubby gets the dreaded notice all the time.
Carpool Goddess says
Love the new series you’re doing! Well, I currently need a blow dry desperately (it takes a village to deal with this bird’s nest) and pretty sure I gained the 5 pounds you lost. Feeling a little guilty that our weather is so gorgeous here in sunny southern Cal.
Liz Mays says
Congratulations on the weight loss through JC! I really need to check out Downton Abbey too.
Ellen Dolgen says
Can’t wait to hear your tips on how to get out of jury duty!!! Congrats on your Jenny Craig success!!!
jennydecki says
Your mom looks great. I need to catch up on Downton Abbey I’m two episodes behind.
Kimberly Morgan says
I love this! What a great idea for a post. It was very personal and touching to see what you are currently up to. Happy birthday to your beautiful mother!
becca says
I’m getting season 5 tomorrow via netflix so will be binge watching this week for sure. I have also binge watched AMerican Horror Story this past weekend. so good.
maria @ close to home says
WE had a dusting of snow in VA and kids were out of school. I have not gotten anything done this new year. 2 snow days, 2 school holidays… they need to be in school more.
Heather says
Jury duty, no fun!
Shauna says
ha,ha, ha… I had jury duty last week and thankfully they let me go since I am a SAHM with three kids 😉
char says
Congratulations on your feeling lighter…but not so much on the jury duty! 😉
Theresa says
Sounds like you are a busy girl! I got out of jury duty by telling them in the question part that if they had enough evidence to bring the guy in to try, then in my mind he was probably already guilty. The immediately excused me. I know. It’s my patriotic duty and all that, but the thought of sitting through a really long trial just wasn’t flying with me that day.
Lois Alter Mark says
Hilarious! I would so do the same thing.
Jeanine says
Your mom is way too cute! I love this idea of currently, very good idea! I haven’t ever seen downton abbey before but I hear tons about it!
Mama to 5 BLessings says
I have heard some great things about Downtown Abbey, it is on my list to watch!
Censie Sawyer says
I always get jury duty! ALWAYS! Great job on your weight loss!! WOOT!!! And here in Denver it was 72 today!! lol WINTER???
angela weight says
So sweet that you got to celebrate your mom’s birthday with her.
Ann Bacciaglia says
Happy Birthday to your Mom. We have not had a lot of snow this year. It has been very cold still.
Annie says
Happy birthday to your mom! She looks really good & not even like she’s 85 🙂
Pam says
Happy Birthday to your mom! She looks great. Hope you are successful with the jury duty thing but I think you would make a great juror!
Debbie L. says
Ick Jury Duty – good luck getting out of it. I have tried and failed each time.
Maureen @ A Debt Free Stress Free Life says
Good luck getting out of jury duty/ Probably won’t happen.
Cathy Sikorski says
Love your “Currently” post…Am jealous of your pool rain, as it snows here….although it is beautiful here, too. Love DA and can’t wait to watch it, so I go by the tidbits they offer every Sunday. I couldn’t even get out of jury duty and I’m a lawyer! Love the pic of your Mom, my Mom is 86 and we are best buds….so lucky to have them still being our pals, right?
Roz Warrren says
My pal Rob always wears his Che Guevara T Shirt when he’s called for jury duty and has yet to be selected to serve on a jury. The only time I’ve ever been able to avoid serving was when I was nursing a 3-month-old baby. I told them I’d be happy to turn up, but the baby would be coming with me. And I’d be nursing him every 3 hours. They let me off the hook.
By the way, your mom looks fabulous.
Laura Funk says
Boo to Jury duty. I really love this idea of currently.
Tess says
I hate jury duty. So far, I’ve never been picked. Whew!
Chrystal @ YUM eating says
In my area of MI we haven’t seen much snow. This might just be the most mild winter we’ve had since I’ve moved back here. Usually we are like ol’ Robin up there with the 3-4 ft of snow. Of course, that could change as snow is coming this week.
I wish I had the money for Jenny Craig. When I was in high school (20yrs ago) Nutrisystem had centers you could go in. I went as I wanted to go from the fat kid everyone made fun of to the healthy kid. It was a wonderful place and I enjoyed the 1 on 1. If only those good habits stayed with me all these years.
Annie {Stowed Stuff} says
Awesome job on the weight loss and good luck getting out of jury duty!
Ashley B. says
Your mother looks so much younger than 85! Happy Birthday to her!
Angela says
I am so with you about not doing the week to week thing with Downton Abbey. I just ordered the season on Amazon yesterday. Happy Birthday to your Mom! She is beautiful.
Veronica says
Good luck getting out of jury duty. I got called once but I wasn’t selected
Abbie from Lovin' Our Chaos says
I love ‘Currently’ posts like this. It really gives you an insight to the author and their life. Thanks for sharing!
April says
Since I moved, I haven’t planned a THING! I seem to never have time! By the time I think about it, it’s only a couple of days away.
coolchillmom says
I am still celebrating Sweet Tomato’s birthday!
Congrats on the weight loss!
