Lately


Learning: How to edit photos in Lightroom. Really excited about this. Finally, finally starting to figure out how to get my photos a little boost!

Reading: Just finished Year of No Sugar which definitely blew my mind and started worrying me. I am a sugar-a-holic and even on days I think I don't eat that much turns out I do. Because it's in everything. Time to start making my own bread I think. No sugar needed in homemade bread. I have a couple other books checked out from the library but I'm not sure what is next. Going to scale back heavily on anything self improvement oriented as I am no longer using it for good, just as more ammunition against myself as examples of what else I could be doing better. Fiction and memoirs please.

Watching: Pretty Little Liars, every Tuesday. I'm sure I've said it before, at least on FB... I am addicted to this show, but I wonder, every single episode, why these girls keep going into dark houses and forests by themselves when people are getting killed. Seriously ladies. AND, just go tell the police. My friend did remind me the police are not fully trustworthy, but still. So many more issues than necessary. I started following Troian Bellisario on instagram because on her free time she trains in silks. Rad, rad, rad. At the same studio she also trains in self defense and it makes me want to go to the studio and train too. Thinking about starting Orphan Black or Masters of Sex. Watched the Pilot of Masters and loved it. But couldn't find the second episode for free.
Saw: Wish I Was Here. Loved it. Not surprised.

Listening/Dancing/Singing in the car to:I want u - Alison Wonderland
Adrenalize - In This Moment
Dust - Eli Young Band
Crazy Town - Jason Aldean (foreshadowing here)
Young In America - Danielle Bradberry
Partition - Beyonce
Bend Ova - Lil Jon

Stressing about: My life a month from now. Big changes underway (see foreshadow for clue). Very, nervous. I want to push the nervousness to the side and be excited. Working on that.

Excited for: Portland this weekend!!! Going to go see the Oregon coast FINALLY. Lived there about 3 years total and never went to see the coast. Unacceptable! Also excited for seeing best friends, getting a cupcake from Saint Cupcake, getting tattooed from my friend Lisa who just got her license!!!!, getting a donut from Voodoo, going to Sinferno, and being back among the trees.
