I’ve spotted these “Currently…” surveys on a number of other blogs and thought it looked like fun! Plus, I’m in a playful mood, since I am playing hooky from work today to spend a fabulous day of mini-golf and ice cream with my best guy before camp starts on Monday. “Currently” is basically a round-up of some of the things I am loving right now. Feel free to play along in the comments section!
Current Book
It’s so embarrassing. I used to be an avid reader. Now I can barely make it through a page at the end of the day before I pass out. Sad. But like I wrote on my Summer Bucket List, my lofty goal is to read two books this summer. I have had this book sitting on my nightstand for a long time and I’m now finally ready to make my way through it.
I also really want to read Curtis Sittenfield’s new book, Sisterland.
Current Music
Um, does the Disney channel on Pandora count? Because – sadly – I don’t really listen to music beyond what’s on my running playlists. And the majority of that playlist is Calvin Harris and Pink. Okay, so what do I listen to in the car on my work commute, you ask? Actually, sports talk radio! But if I’ve had a rough day at work, it’s old school Guns N’ Roses. Cranked up really loud.
Current Guilty Pleasure
The LC Lauren Conrad line at Kohls. Does this count as a guilty pleasure? Hmm, considering a good majority of my summer wardrobe is from my favorite Hills gal, I think so. Seriously, people, her stuff is cute and reasonably priced.
Current Nail Color
I am obsessed this summer with Essie’s Watermelon nail polish. I think a mani is in store this weekend.
Current Drink
Polar Cucumber Melon seltzer. And Pink Grapefruit seltzer. And Ginger Lime seltzer. Yep, as Dr. G. says, I have a Polar Seltzer addiction.
Current Food
Smoothies!!! I guess that’s a food, right? I am loving a tropical, protein-packed smoothie for breakfast on these hot and humid mornings! My current fave includes frozen pineapple, mango and strawberries; unsweetened vanilla almond milk; 1 scoop vanilla protein powder; 1 scoop hemp powder; splash of coconut milk. Heavenly.
Current Favorite Show
Ugh, there is such crap on TV in the summer, no? I usually record “Falling Skies” on DVR, since it’s on after my bedtime, and I enjoyed the first episode of “Under the Dome.” But come fall, it’s all about “The Amazing Race” and “Parenthood” (did it get renewed???)
Current Wish List
A maxi dress, which I posted about on my Facebook page earlier this week. I wasn’t sure how practical it would be with a toddler, but you gals convinced me to go for it! Now to find the right one …
Current Needs
A cleaning service!!
Current Blessing
Besides the obvious (my family), I have to say my health. My ulcerative colitis remains in remission, my knees held up for my first half marathon, and I feel fit and strong and happy.
Current Outfit
Since I’m playing hooky today, it’s a casual day for me! Navy shorts, a navy and white striped T-shirt and my go-to Merrells – just like I wore to Disney. Girl needs proper footwear for a serious game of mini golf, right?
Current Excitement
Besides my Mommy-Buddy date day today, I can’t wait for our weekend getaway to NYC in a few weeks, followed by our weeklong “staycation” and quick trip to New Hampshire.
Your turn!

What a fun post! I’ll have to write one up…it will help with my writer’s block. Well possibly…I’ve got ideas but no ambition to sit down right now and belt them out.
