Currently June

Here is last month's blog, Currently May. I am enjoying doing these because it gives me a chance to reflect on what I've done over the last month....which sometimes may be nothing. *shrugs*

Listening To: Elle Varner's CD Perfectly Imperfect. I absolutely love that woman. I love her voice and she is beautiful. I hate that I missed the chance to see her live before. I can play this CD from front to back without skipping any song. It also reminds me of some good times I shared with a special someone that I will NEVER forget; some of the best moments of my life.

Watching: I finally watched Non-Stop with Liam Neeson. I will watch any movie that man has a role in. He is an incredible actor. Now if I can only watch Taken 2, then I'll be content.

Ava and I finished watching The Bible on Netflix. I love how inquisitive she is. This girl has some extraordinary faith and I LOVE IT! She always talks about how she can't wait until God shows her the miracles that he showed Moses and his people. Her faith encourages me.

Wanting: This kitchen table & chair set. I've only had mine for 2 years and already had to throw one chair away, while the others are not very sturdy. The kids and I don't even sit at the table anymore. It has now become a part of my decor for nothing.

Praying For: Jahi and her family. This story is heartbreaking and I've had my share of opinions about it. I've watched non-believers, lawyers, doctors and the media make doubting comments; although it's easy to say what we'd do in that situation, we all know that things would change when it really comes down to it. Jahi is making progress and I am hoping and praying she pulls through this...not only for her mom and family, but to prove that modern-day miracles DO HAPPEN! #FixItJesus #PrayForJahi

Loving: Being able to clean. Thank you, JESUS!!! My mobility hasn't been the greasted these last 3 months but I'm back in action now. I done switched Calen's room around and everything. Next is Ava's. I have to do it when she's not home so that I can throw things away that she hoards, but have clearly outgrown. And I <3 the smell of Pine-Sol.....aaahhhhhh!

Random: Yesterday I went on a scavenger hunt at Sac State for @HiddenCash (if any of you have ever heard of that?) Just some random wealthy man that plants money around town and tweets out clues. Hundreds of people show up, from all walks of life.....and I do mean ALL! So because it was local this time, I joined the search where 18 envelopes were planted around campus (all containing at least $100). I didn't find the money, but I did meet this lovely lady: Dina Kupfer from News 10. She was so pleasant and bubbly!

So what are you currently up to?

Currently May

I'm a little late for May but here it is:

Just like my Currently April blog:

Listening: I have such a broad collection of CD's in my car (yes I still buy CD's). So what I've been doing is randomly selecting one and try to ride it out as long as I can. As far as Pandora...B2K station is my favorite one. #DontJudgeMe. It plays all the songs that were popular in the early 2000's and brings back memories for me.

Watching: I tried my share of Dexter and it didn't seem to work for me. If you have any other suggestions for a series that I could binge-watch, let me know. I have 3 more months until I return to school. I love crime & drama documentaries so I search through tons of them on Netflix. Other than that, I have Lifetime and LMN on my favorite channels. I'm also a faithful watcher of the Wendy Williams Show! How You Doin?

Wondering: If I'm making the right decision with my major? I'm very confused. I'm still not satisfied in my major and keep battling what I want to do with my life? I am so close to changing it because I have noticed that each semester I go to pick my classes, it worries me that I have no interest in them whatsoever. I think that's my cue to try something different.

Evaluating: So many relationships that I have had or currently have. I sometimes feel obligated to tolerate certain people because of the amount of time that I've known them. Or sometimes I feel guilty that I want to sever ties with them after at all of the times I've shared with them. On the other hand, Poo is ready to tell them to get to steppin. No mercy on these skallywags!

Reading: A book called What Does the Bible Really Teach?. I got it from one of the Jehovah's Witnesses and after many attempts (stalks) to reach me, I finally decided to hear her out. The book is very basic and does not go into much detail (no offense to any JW out there), but that is the part where I find interest in.....to do more research for myself to find out more. They touch the surface of things and if it can spark a conversation, it can certainly spark my research a lot more.

Loving: The fact that I have two well-behaved (for the most part) and smart children. Calen finished his 7th grade year with 4 A's and 1 B. Ava got all A+'s. Proud is not even a word to describe how I feel. The fact that it comes so natural for them to excel in school, makes me feel like I'm doing a great job....even when I question my parenting.

Considering: What to do with my hair next. I have had many different hairstyles and lengths. I'm in a transition phase right now. Haven't had a perm in about 3 months because I haven't been wearing my natural hair out lately anyway. So I will stay away from the chemicals until I decide. Here are some of my looks:
