Happy Tuesday! Does anyone else think it should be Wednesday already? I'm not sure if it's because I'm so excited about this weekend, or just that Monday was so long?
This past weekend was so fun--hopefully I'll have a recap post up before the week is over. Are you getting excited about St. Patrick's day this weekend? What do you do to celebrate? I love having an excuse to get together with friends and just let loose :)
I'm blogging during my lunch break today, so this post will be short and sweet. Here's my currently list...
-------
Currently I am...
Listening...to the printer on my desk. Eating lunch at your desk is lovely, I tell you :) I wish I was listening to music, but we aren't allowed to stream and ain't nobody got time for a dead iPhone battery.
Eating...leftovers from last night. Healthy wheat pasta and veggies. We are finally taking the extra steps to getting healthy in our house!
Drinking...Water! Trying to put down as much of that as possible during the day. No more sprite or tea.
Wearing...My trusty ol' black cardigan, black tights, and a bright pink skirt. Hello Spring! I'm also rocking my fave black wedges.
Feeling...Happily overwhelmed. Everything is just so busy, but I am not letting it totally take over mentally. I am happy that time seems to be moving quickly lately (I can't wait to be a Mrs.!), but it seems everyone else is equally as busy. I miss the slowed down version of life...and I definitely miss my closest friends.
Wanting...The weekend to get here! I can't wait to get out of town for a bit, catch up with my BFF and have a fun time with our friends (and celebrate St. Patty's day!).
Thinking...About my favorite people. I have had some bride guilt lately. Lately a LOT of what I think/talk about revolves around the wedding (naturally, unfortunately), and I hate that I might have forgotten that other people have lives too. If I have talked your ear off about the wedding and forgotten to ask how YOU were, I apologize.
Enjoying...The sunshine! I love that I have a window right in front of my desk, so I get to see the sunshine (but also the rain, when it's here). It helps make the day enjoyable :)
Thankful For...My friends and family--they've done so much for my sanity over the last few months. AND My time with Ryan everyday. After our pre-marital counseling I really felt closer to him. It's strange how little things like that can make a big difference.

What are you currently?
If it was ever the right time to ramble, it's now...I am SO in the mood to relax and just put all of my thoughts in one place. Hence I have a BLOG! haha Here's what's been on my mind lately...
-------
Planning a wedding = stress, right? I expected that. What I didn't expect? Major (like, SUPER major) heartburn. I have been so uncomfortable lately, all because of the stress. I am trying not to let it have a negative effect on me. Hoping it goes away the closer we get to the wedding! *Fingers Crossed*
I haven't been able to find the PERFECT wedding shoes in person...so Ryan talked me into ordering a few of my favorite pairs online. Which I never EVER do. I hate ordering shoes online. The good news is I LOVE both pairs :) Now, to just make up my mind.
Speaking of shoes...since having ankle surgery last November, I haven't really been able to wear heels or high (3+ inch) wedges. I've been working my way up to my regular shoes (I even had to buy kitten wedges haha) and I'm finally back into my regular wedges!! I still take flats to work with me just in case my ankle starts to hurt, but I'm so excited to be back in my regular shoes. This means my ankle will definitely feel up to the task of walking in pretty and high shoes for the wedding!
I feel terrible about finding someone to do my wedding hair. That sh*t is expensive, and I just don't think it's worth it to pay someone $100 to do what I can do. I just want someone to do my hair while I sit an relax the morning of my wedding, but paying that much isn't relaxing to me. Anyone know of a good wedding hair person in Nashville that doesn't cost a small fortune? I'm looking for myself and at least one other bridesmaid. (And yes, this makes me seem cheap. Guess what? I am cheap! It doesn't hurt me when I try to save money.)
I've been trying to determine what makeup I'll need for the wedding (to have a good photo-ready look), but since I don't wear much to begin with, I've had a hard time figuring out where to start. I only wear eye makeup, blush, and maybe some concealer and/or primer when I need it. I've only figured a little bit out so far...I'm definitely going to wear a good primer (photo finish Smashbox), and a good concealer for under my eyes (leaning towards Erase Paste). I've still got a long way to go it seems :) Any suggestions or wedding day makeup pointers are welcome!
I finally get to cash in on one of my favorite Christmas presents next Monday---laser hair removal for my legs! I can't wait to not have to shave my legs, especially with the honeymoon coming up.
I know everyone else is loving Jennifer Lawrence as much as I am, but I've had a major crush on her for a long time. I am so excited to see her finally hit the mainstream and to be getting so much love!
I've had a terrible case of the Mondays this week, especially today. It seems like every thing I try to do turns out wrong or backwards, etc. I just can't get ahead and I don't enjoy that feeling. Since it's been such a long week, I was ridiculously happy to hear that Ryan wanted to grill out for dinner tonight and that our friends were getting together for trivia. The day really started looking up after work. Except after dinner I put my comfy clothes on and got sleepy. and here I am on the couch, folding laundry, catching up on PLL and blogging. I can't complain because I'm finally feeling relaxed. Thank the heavens!
Remember this post? It's probably the best pep talk advice I've ever given myself and I'm glad I blogged about it. It's a really nice post to go back a revisit. Those words helped me get past something that I am SO GLAD to be past. I'm so much happier now because I decided to let myself change what wasn't making me happy. Thank goodness for having the freedom to make my own choices (and the guts to change)!
Talk about making good choices...I've tried so hard lately to NOT each junk food. I've made some changes and I've cut down on my bad-food intake, but I just can't seem to kick it all together. What's wrong with me?!!? haha I just love a good snack, I guess... :(
We kinda-sorta inherited Ryan's grandmother's china cabinet/hutch and I can't wait to re-do it with Ryan! I think we are going to do an all white makeover, similar to this, this, and this. Thoughts? Have you ever redone a hutch?

Alright, alright. That's it for today! If you made it this far, I hope you have a great day! :)
I have a very important question for y'all.
Are these bags considered a single serving??! In attempt to eat healthier, I bought all healthy foods to eat while at work, and gave myself one not-perfect snack (aka not veggies or fruit). And you know what happens? I only want to eat the damn Goldfish crackers! They are so good, it's just so hard to put the bag down...
Oopsie.
