Currently (May 2024 Edition)

Reading: nothing! For the second month in a row. I think I’m broken. 

Drinking: NOT soda. I’m 15 days soda sober… again… you know how I be. I almost gave in on Wednesday because I bought a fountain drink at Sam’s Club, and the lemonade wasn’t working. I ended up trying to get Pepsi Zero (I figured I would drink a soda, but not a soda that I LOVE. That way I could have a drink but maybe not totally spiral out of control) and that wasn’t working either. Then I tried for Diet Dr. Pepper, and that, too was not working. At that point, I figured the fates were trying to keep me from breaking my streak, so I threw the cup away, and called it a loss. But before I left, I tapped the regular Pepsi dispenser to see if it was working, and it was. 

Cooking: some menu items on this week’s list are crock pot chicken and rice, cheeseburger soup, and spam sandwiches. Don’t be hating on my spam sandwiches. One day they were sampling fried spam on King’s Hawaiian Rolls at Costco, and I’ve been addicted ever since. 

Watching

I think this is the third time I’ve worked my way through 30 Rock. It’s kind of lonely because I have a million 30 Rock references available in my head and no one to share them with.

Sick of: church events. I am so burned out.

Wearing: a Cinderella sweatshirt and shorts. 

Buying: food for stake young women camp. I’m in charge of the food, and we are doing every meal as a stake. Big task, but since I love mass food production, I’m in. Although it does involve my least favorite thing on earth… committees. 

I made my first purchases this weekend - Italian ice pops and gluten-free Oreos, and my sister-in-law hooked me up with a bunch of free lunch meat. 

Annoyed by: weeds. It’s not even time to plant a garden yet, and I feel like weeds have already taken over.

Laughing about: today Nicky and I had to explain to my mother-in-law what crop dusting means.

No, mother-in-law, the crop dusting problem at Senior Ball over the weekend was not related to aircrafts or pesticides. 

Dreading: some of our summer obligations. There’s a lot going on this year that I don’t want to deal with.

Sad about: the lack of youth in our ward. 

This week, for the first time since we were moved to a new congregation, I had a good cry. I thought we would be okay with the new ward, but as time goes on, I am more and more sad for my children. 

Missing: soda. 

Craving: breakfast sandwiches. I adore them. 

Thinking about: how amazing it is to wash a breakfast sandwich down with a Coke. 

Singing: Benson Boone. Nicky and Daisy are big fans, so we always have Benson Boone playing in the house and car.

Playing:


I bought the Qwixx Mixx score pads to add a new twist to our Qwixx game. 

Trying: to lower my blood pressure (one reason I’m soda sober). It’s not working. Spam sandwiches definitely won’t help.

Needing: to go to sleep, frankly. 

Missing: my kids’ former love for Daniel Tiger. 

Grateful for: comfy blankets.
