Taking Stock

Hey there! How is your Tuesday? I have a quick list post today which I got from Claire who posted it last week on her blog. I thought it looked liked fun, I love these "currently" lists! (P.S. I typed this up on Saturday...not Tuesday...and I put in one or two updates Monday night. A mish-mash of days if you will).

Making: This blog post and I just made a blueberry/spinach/peanut flour smoothie! πŸ™‚ Yum! (Plus I got to use my new Mason jars I received form Caitlin's giveaway!

0e7f6ace22d211e38db722000aeb0b60_7
Cooking: I will be making the Lentil Pumpkin Tacos I devised this morning! Recipe coming tomorrow! And another new recipe tomorrow which will be coming soon on the blog as well if it turns out good!
Drinking: That delicious smoothie I just mentioned.
Reading: The Innocent by David Baldacci. (I would have finished it weeks ago, but I have had no time or desire to read lately...)

Wanting: New clothes! I need to go shopping for fall/winter stuff ASAP!
Looking: At my laptop screen...
Playing: My mom's Am Gold 1971 CD. I keep listening to it over and over in the car. Best songs!

http://www.israbox.com/uploads/posts/2009-12/1260802479_2.jpegWasting: I feel like I am wasting a lot of time on nothing. But maybe it just feels like that since I have so much on my plate right now?
Sewing: The seeds of knowledge. Study. Study. Study.
Wishing: It was summer and I was weeks away form going off to college.
Enjoying: That it is a sunny bright morning and not 40 degrees!
Waiting: To go grocery shopping once my mom gets back.
Liking: That I still have the whole weekend ahead of me. Even though I have a huge to-do list to get done.
Wondering: How I am going to get through the rest of the school year. And where I will be sitting this time next year. A.K.A What college I will be at, ekk!
Loving: The Ola! Chocolate Banana Chip granola I am munching right now.

Hoping: If I will get a good grade a my first huge AP Latin Test (lines 1-101 Book 1 of the Aeneid) on Tuesday (today)...
Marveling: That my body loves me and keeps me going each day.
Needing: A longer weekend....and some tea.
Smelling: Cinnamon...from my granola.
Wearing: Gray sweats, socks, a sports bra, pink sweater, and a zip-up sweatshirt. (Comfy weekend attire and no makeup)
Following: Way to many blogs...so many to read, so little time. Maybe that's where all that time is disappearing to...
Noticing: Summer fruit is starting to suck, but apples have come to take their place and that is a-okay! I think apples are one of my top 5 favorite foods, no contest.

Knowing: This post is not very interesting, is it?
Thinking: I want to finish up my Georgetown application this weekend. I am pretty excited too! (update from Monday night: I just got my email to set up my alumni interview! Ah!)
Feeling: Tired and in need of some Saturday night yoga later to stretch and get my body moving. (update form Monday night: I just got back form Group Power. I went there kinda tired from a long day of school and man, I am always surprised by how amazing and energized that class makes me feel afterwards! It is magic I tell you.)
Bookmarking: Giveaways! I love them all and bookmark them to keep track.
Opening: Recipes on my Pinterest for some ideas to grocery shopping later.
Giggling: Nothing is funny right, maybe later.

So tell me:

Pick a word or two from the list and tell me your answer!

This vegan gumbo recipe is still hearty and full-flavored without meat or seafood. Fully plant-based without any mock meat or soy, just whole food ingredients! We are replacing the animal protein with kidney beans, potatoes, and hearts of palm. This trifecta provides meaty textures and protein to the stew, plus reduces the need for extra cooking time since we’re taking the lazy way and using canned ingredients. The roux is made with gluten-free flour and vegan butter for a thick, rich, hearty stew that will stick to your bones.πŸ˜‹πŸ™Œ
