This fun little quiz popped up on Julie’s blog awhile ago and I’ve since seen it on some others. I thought it was a fun one, so I saved it for a (proverbial) rainy day…alas, here we are!
current book: I’ve never been one to read just one book at a time, so current books is more accurate. My regularly updated reading material is on Goodreads, but a couple that I’m reading and loving now are: What We Talk About When We Talk About God by Rob Bell, The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer, and Imperfect Birds by Anne Lamott.
what we talk about when…
current music: I’m actually listening to a Freakonomics podcast (Can You Be Too Smart for Your Own Good? And Other FREAK-quently Asked Questions) at this exact moment. A song that I’ve had on repeat lately, though, is Clouds by Zach Sobiech, the young man I wrote about last week. The song is so stinkin’ catchy.
current guilty pleasure: on the music theme, I am really excited about the new Backstreet Boys song, “Permanent Stain”! I’ve been a BSB fan since 1996 and have stuck with them this whole time (yes, they’ve still been recording and touring these past several years). I’m going to see their 20th anniversary tour this August in Detroit and it will be a blast.
current nail color: Gelish’s Princess Tiara. It’s a really subtle greyish-purple color that I’m loving. The gel polish is similar to shellac, so it’s lasted almost two weeks, but it’s starting to come off and I keep picking at it!
current drink: now that it’s summer, I love an iced coffee with two pumps of vanilla and a splash of soy, or if I want to spend a little more, an iced soy caramel macchiato, both from the Bux, of course! I’m also really obsessed with the Sparking Ice water lately, especially the black raspberry and kiwi strawberry. For an adult beverage, I love Oberon from Bells Brewery.

current food: I am loving baked sweet potatoes with some almond butter and a little cinnamon sprinkled on top. Until I actually tried it, I thought it sounded like such an odd combination that I’ve heard others swear by. Now? Give me all the sweet potatoes.
current favorite show: Parenthood! I adore the Braverman clan and I am so flipping excited that they’re coming back for another season!

current wish list: an Oster My Blend. It’s a blender that makes your drink right in the sports bottle, and it’s pink. On a larger scale, a new MacBook because mine is going on six years old now and it’s starting to slow down a lot.
current needs: a solid 8-hour night of sleep, to catch up on my nutrition school lectures, and to sit down and update my finances. I think a day trip out to one of the Lake Michigan beaches or up to the cottage also qualifies as a need.

current indulgence: I’m going for a mani/pedi on Saturday with my mom and one of my sisters. It was our Mother’s Day gift, and we’re going out for lunch beforehand! It should be a fun girl’s day.
current blessing: warm weather! After months and months of snow and cold weather here in the Mitten, I am so grateful for sunshine and heat. Until I have to run, then it’s kind of miserable. For now, I don’t even mind not having air conditioning in my apartment, but ask me again in another couple of months and I might be singing a different tune.
current outfit: PJs! More specifically, my “you belong here” from the student ministries program I volunteer with and hot pink polka dot pajama pants. I look really cool. But, I’m crazy comfortable and sitting in my bed, so it doesn’t particularly matter. I have nobody to impress.
current excitement: even though it’s not until September, I am super stoked for this year’s Healthy Living Summit! Before then, I’ve got a couple half marathons that I’m looking forward to including ZOOMA Chicago (where I’m going to pace Stina to a PR and Kelly is running the 10k) and the Indianapolis Women’s Half Marathon that I’m running with my friend Emily who is coming up to run the marathon with me in October! All in all, summer is my absolute favorite season and I’m excited to make the most of it this year!
