Taking Stock

As I said in yesterday's post, I am all about becoming a new me in 2015, and I don't really know what that looks like. But I have to know where I am to know where I am going and see improvement, right? So today I am Taking Stock!

Currently......

Making : I am currently making this bag, but I have also been making I Spy blankets which I love!
Cooking : We have been super into quinoa. I have only made it as a rice replacements so far, but I have big plans!
Drinking : WATER! I love it! Honestly! I do go through phases but I have been craving water lately. Possibly because of so many medication changes as of late, but whose complaining?
Reading: Looking For Alaska by John Green.
Wanting: a donut! haha Christian and I have been working on cutting carbs. I have cut cake and donuts and sweets like that where he has cut actual bread. I CRAVE DONUTS! He gets them at work.
Looking: We are currently looking at HSN. The Origami Folding 4-tier Multipurpose Shelves. Christian wants one. We are also looking for an apartment! We found one we love! We will find out if we got it on Monday.
Playing: Ticket to Ride has been our family's game of the season. My own personal fav is on my iPhone called 7 words.
Wasting: Time. Always. Napping. Always.
Sewing: A lot. I am about to start some projects for baby Ginger's nursery! Whooohoo! 
Wishing: I was sitting in my super comfy seat but it is in storage :(
Enjoying: Quality time with the Hubs! Every morning before he works we have been going on adventures which has been a blast! Makes me miss him when he is at work.
Waiting: for my Julep box! 
Liking: Xlear nose spray. Got rid of my cold in 1 day- 4 doses. 
Wondering: What if what I see as green is what you see as my red yet we both agree that it is green? I have been pondering this one for weeks now. And can dogs see color?
Loving: CHRISTIAN!!!!
Hoping: For a headache free year... 
Marveling: Over this potential apartment! I am obsessed! 
Needing: A massage! My muscles are so tight.
Smelling: I am obsessed with Honey by Mark Jacobs, but all I can smell is my stinky doggy!
Wearing: 3x shirt, scarve, some leggings and booties is my go to outfit. 
Following: HONY on Instagram! Thats Humans Of New York. I love that page. Teaches me each day the value of a person and never to judge someone because you don't know their story.
Noticing: Gas prices! Aren't they great!? $2.04 today! 
Knowing: I know that I have way too much fingernail polish. But I don't care.
Thinking: I shoudl be in bed (and it is only 10:30 pm and I have taken 3 naps... My life!)
Feeling: Tingly toes. sciatic pain, sharp tailbone pain, sore shoulders, earache, headache, sore throat, and itchy eyes... but who's complaining?
Bookmarking: Lots of stuff on Pinterest
Opening: an Easy shop! Atlas that's my dream.
Giggling: As we now watch Finding Nemo. "Why are you sleeping?" is the part we are at.
Feeling: Sleepy

Here is a blank one for you and for future me!

Who Used All the Black Crayon?

Guys, I am used to about 14 views each post. That's it (which is weird, because I post every blog link to my family's Facebook group and there are 40 of us in there... Thanks guys!). I was not expecting that many hits on one post, but I got it, and it has sparked a lot of conversation that I feel to be very productive. I have been so honored by the respect I have been given from those who’s opinions differ from mine, and the dialogue we have been able to have on the matter of race in today's society. Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all ...

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto...
