Checking In VI.

cookiespicmonkey-collageMaking: plans for Amsterdam and Berlin!!!  I CAN’T WAIT!  Also, I made lots of Christmas cookies this week.  I told the parents of my private students that we could make Christmas cookies in class and they agreed!  Lots of fun and even more mess.
Cooking:  I made this garlic-lemon chicken & pasta and dare I say, it was good.  
Drinking: tea.  this may never change.  And red wine?  Who am I?
Reading: Confess, by Colleen Hoover.  So far it…stinks.  But I’ll probably finish it on above mentioned trips.  Also about to dive into Little Bee by Chris Cleave.  My roommate raved about it, so I’m excited!
Wanting: tight, black jeans that fit into by boots and don’t bunch.  Zara perfume.  A sleek, lightweight jacket.  And…world peace.  But really, things are crazy right now and very sad.  I do hope they improve soon.
Looking: forward to 2017.  I think it will be a good year!
Eating: kale.  I found it pre-shredded and pre-washed and i’m a #happygirl.
Wishing: for a snowy Christmas.  Ha….kidding.  wishing you all a happy and healthy new year 🙂
Enjoying: chocolate.  all of a sudden, I have so much chocolate.  Most of it was given as gifts, but I have Swiss chocolate (swoon…), Aldi dark chocolate (which is made what milk (???)), and a big bag of milk chocolate m&ms that are not m&m brand.
Loving: that I have the day off today and I didn’t even know I had the day off until last night 😉
Hoping: that Berlin isn’t toooo cold and i don’t feel lonely during my trip.  it happens.
Listening: listening to my neighbors making lunch and listening to Enrique Iglesias.  I’m not mad.
Feeling: happy.  productive. festive. warm.  dirty…i need a shower.
Wearing: running shorts, sports bra, tank top, hoodie, sneakers.  I went to spin this morning and haven’t changed yet.
Watching: UGH I am trying to get through the Gilmore Girls movies but it’s SO HARD.  they are just….BAD.  my roommates tell me the last one is good so i may just skip to that one because this is painful.  and so sad.  but I head that Zach Braff (from Scrubs) is considering a comeback reunion show?!  Makes me happy, but also nervous considering both Fuller House and Gilmore Girls have been flops.
Bookmarking: this recipe for Raspberry-Almond cookies.  they would make really nice gifts!  but who knows if I’ll actually make them.  i’ll keep you in suspense 😉
