July Currently

This is officially my first time participating in Farley's Currently!

Every month I tell myself that I'm going to do it and then the next thing I know the month has passed me by! Yikes! I was not going to let that happen to me again! So without out further adieu...


So here is what's currently on my mind:

Listening- I love Spotify! I have so many different playlists created and lately it's either been my workout playlist or my Summa, Summa, Summa Time playlist that I started last summer. I just keep adding to it. I could listen to music all day long, and with summer time here, that's typically what I've been doing. It keeps me from spending hours watching TV! 

Loving- I've never been one to enjoy exercising, but this summer I've found a new love/passion for it. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is put on my workout clothes and head out for a 2+ mile walk around my neighborhood. It's been the only way I can truly start my day this summer and I get done way before it gets too warm or humid. Except today the sun was pretty intense! 3 days out of the week, my boyfriend and I have been heading to the gym and I am actually LOVING it! I think it's helping that he is there with me and we are encouraging one another! 

Thinking- One of my summer projects is to finally get my home office together and organized how I want it to be. We've lived in our house for just about 3 years now and I still have not found a home for everything or made my office as cozy and organized as I would like it to be. I finally decided on furniture that I want to put in here, so now I have to decide on what color I want to paint that walls. I'm not the best at narrowing down my choices so I'm just going to have to pick 1 or 2 colors and go with it! 

Wanting- I have a list of different things I want to create for TPT & for my classroom theme next year, but just have not had the creative mojo to get something together. I know it will get there, I just have to make it a part of my daily To-Do List and then it will get done. I don't want to wait until August to start creating. 

Needing- With the summer heat and humidity along with working out everyday I just haven't had time to go get my hair done professionally. I think a day of self-pampering is in order soon! I also need to change my nail polish color. It's a bright pink now, but I'm ready to change it! 

4th Plans- I'll be heading to my grandparents house for their annual 4th of July BBQ then I'll catch fireworks at the Blue Crabs Stadium right down the street from my house. I live so close to it, that I could actually just sit in my backyard and see them, but there are some trees and houses that are blocking our full view! So we'll just walk around the corner from our house so we can get the full view. 


Well there you have it! I've officially joined the Currently craze! That was so much fun! I can't wait to read what everyone else is currently up to and participate in the next one! 

Until Next Time...

Have Fun in the Sun!

  1. This is my first time linking up with Farley as well. Love seeing how everyone else is spending their summer. I think it is great that you are getting out early and walking. I had a walk planned with a friend this morning and it rained us out. I took the opportunity to sleep in and now it is too hot!

    1. I've been lucky to not have any rained out mornings, yet! There have definitely been some HOT ones but I've just toughed it out! Some days I would much rather sleep in than deal with the heat! LOL

    1. Thanks so much! I've been blogging on and off for several years. Each summer I vow to get better and I think this summer I might actually stick with it! I think I've finally narrowed my color choices down, so that's a definite step in the right direction! :-)

  3. Hi There! I found your blog via Farley's "Rule of 3"! I wish I was more consistent on joining this linky, but like you, the month sometimes flies by before I get a chance! I think we're in the same boat when it comes to home makeovers! I'm in need of some serious organization too! Have a great 4th of July! It sounds fun!

    1. I swear I don't know how some of these ladies keep up with blogging with the millions of other things that they do! I admire them all! I finally got tired of having stuff everywhere and realized that if I can keep my classroom organized it's about time I get my home office organized too. That way it can stop driving me crazy! :-)

  4. Welcome to Currently! I love meeting new teacher/bloggers every month. I'm glad you have found success with working out. I need to find an activity I will enjoy.

    1. Walking and Zumba are some of my favorites but I haven't been able to find any Zumba classes at a reasonable time in my area just yet. I'll keep searching, until then I'll just keep on walkin'!

  5. I just got my hair done yesterday! It is such a great feeling! I am really loving the color combos of yellow/gray and turquoise/salmon. You should paint the walls an off white, nothing too white and then chose one wall to accent. Maybe but some stripes on the other walls.

    Head on over to my blog and check out my new teacher planner! I am also doing a giveaway!

    1. I've decided on some pretty bright colors (teal, citrus, & an orchid color) I just need to to narrow down which brand I like best out of 2. It all depends on just how bright I want to go! LOL!
