Cooking:  a couple weekends ago I had a little birthday party for myself (and housewarming party) and I made lots of things!  Bruschetta, light spinach-artichoke dip via Iowa Girl Eats, stuffed mushrooms, Nutella-Stuffed Blondies via Averie Cooks, a mix of finger foods like cheese and chips, andddd mango salsa with tortilla chips.  There was also buffalo chicken dip and lots of alcohol and it was an incredible night.

Drinking: Celestial Seasonings Tea.  This probably won’t change for many months.  And lots of coffee.  (atm, I’m drinking soluble powdered coffee crap because we ran out of the regular stuff.  This stuff hurts my soul.)

Reading: Ugh.  Nothing right now.  Not good!!
Wanting: a new iPhone!!  My phone lasts ~1 hour before it dies a quick little death and it’s driving me absolutely insane.  It has 1% battery as I am typing this now, but I’m so torn between purchasing a new iPhone 5 ($250), or springing for a 6 ($550) or a 7 ($650)…or getting a new battery for this one ($80).  Probably gonna go with that last choice because I’m #poor
Looking: forward to so many exciting trips coming up and a new year in Spain!  And at this very moment, looking forward to a day off tomorrow!  I love Spanish holidays.
Eating: a big bowl of oatmeal with creamy peanut butter, homemade strawberry jam, and a splash of milk.
Wishing: It stayed warm a litttttttle longer or that fall was a thing here, but that’s okay- I can get my apples in the supermarket…
Enjoying: Seeing Madrid friends.  Annie was here a few weekends ago and we had brunch and went running and a bird pooped on her.  A great weekend, I must say.
Loving: the cool breeze that is coming through the window as I type this.  And I’m drinking apple-spiced tea.  Mmmmm fall.
Hoping: that this new app I downloaded helps me sleep better and thus feel better during the day.  Will report back.
Listening: Closer, by The Chainsmokers.

Quite catchy.

AND Chino y Nacho- Andas en mi Cabeza ft. Daddy Yankee.

Feeling: nervous because I have my first conversation class with some of the teachers this morning.  I hope they like to talk, otherwise this will be dreadful.  Also, I have a super long day today but then a day off tomorrow so it’s not all bad 🙂
Wearing: jeans and a black Zara t-shirt and black Nike sneakers.
Watching: Nothing, but I caaaaaan’t wait for the Gilmore Girls movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Get your cup of black coffee and your favorite cozy blanket, and maybe your mom, and get READY.
