Currently: September 2016

I decided to move the post I planned for today to next week because the lighting in my house is horrible today, so I thought I would do a currently post since it’s been a long time since I’ve done one.


Anticipating:
Our trip to Tennessee and North Carolina! I’m so ready to spend a week exploring such a beautiful part of the country.

Feeling:
Excited Texas has had its first dose of fall! On Monday, it was in the 60s, and yesterday it was in the 70s. I’m not hopeful it will last, but I am hoping we won’t hit 100 again!

Reading:
I just finished one of the worst books I’ve read this year, so I need to start something good today. I’m thinking of reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch since so many of you have liked it!

Watching:
I am so excited all the fall shows are back! We haven’t watched any yet, but I know we have Quantico and The Blacklist on our DVR.

Loving:
Lipsense. I had been invited to several Facebook groups and didn’t really expect to buy any, but I tried some at the conference this weekend and fell in love. I pretty much want all the colors now!

Eating:
All the chips and salsa. I can’t get enough of Tex-Mex since we moved back. We definitely missed it.

Worrying:
About my health. That same area where it hurt when I had my stent in has started to hurt again, which makes me nervous. I’m not ready to press the panic button yet. I’m hoping it’s just my body adjusting to life without the stent.

Buying:
Well, I left the vendor fair with a Lipsense starter kit (a gloss, a color, and Oops remover), and yesterday, I purchased four more colors and another gloss. (Yay for Mercari and getting things cheaper. If you don’t use it yet, it’s a great online marketplace! I like it better than Poshmark. Also, if you use the code DUSVZT, we both get $2 in credits!) I also got the dress from Lularoe I had mentioned on Snapchat. I seriously went from not buying anything for months to wanting to buy all the things. I’ve been wanting a few new tops for our trip, too, but I’m trying to be good.

  4. That sounds like such a fun trip! I really love Tennessee, and I've been wanting to visit North Carolina for ages! Are you going to Asheville?! :) I have been reading a lot recently, and I have enjoyed most of the books, which isn't always the case. Trying to whittle down that netgalley queue but I keep requesting more... eep. hehe Hope your boxy adjusts soon and it's just a transitional pain. :) XO - Alexandra

  5. Hope your health is doing ok! I read Dark Matter and liked it. Very different and a little weird, but still very entertaining!

  6. My friend just moved to Raleigh and I cannot wait to visit. It's beautiful in the fall. Hope you feel better soon. Give yourself some time. Sometimes, it takes our bodies longer to heal than we think. Hugs.

  13. A trip to the South sounds awesome. I bet Tennessee is lovely around this time. I am curious, too, about what the terrible book was! I have Dark Matter on my NetGalley shelf... maybe I should hit that one next. I hope your pain gets better and that it's nothing to be concerned about.

  14. Your trip is going to be so beautiful! I can't wait to see all of your pictures of all the fall colors! Chips and salsa was the #1 thing that I missed while we were in Europe, and I've been binging on it since we've been back! I hope that the pain subsides soon! I can't imagine having to deal with the pain all the time!

  19. Okay, you've sold me with Lipsense. I've gone back and forth about wanting to try it (and talked endlessly about it with some friends), but I think I just need to bite the bullet!!!

    Ohhhh, NC and TN will be so beautiful this time of year!

  22. If I moved back to Texas, they may run out of queso because I'd eat it all.
    I don't even know what Lipsense is but I want some.
    Praying for your health.
