Making: the most absurdly complex workbook of everything I need to achieve at work, take care of at home, and plan ahead for pre-move in the next 42 days.
Cooking: hahahaha nothing lately because Dave has been doing it all. We totally didn’t have pizza rolls for dinner last night, guys.
Drinking: a Starbucks nitro cold brew, which has become my vice (my team keeps giving me Starbucks cards and I don’t hate it at all).
Reading: my way through Philippa Gregory’s Plantagenet/Tudor novels in chronological order, instead of the order they were published in – NERD alert!
Wanting: a puppy!! So badly!! It’s getting urgent!!
Looking: forward to checking out City Beer’s reopening tomorrow night!
Playing: Wordscapes, an addictive word-unscramble phone game that I am extremely good at.
Listening: at work, to the Ring Cycle all day as an excuse to not talk to anyone and just get work done; elsewhere, to Odesza’s “A Moment Apart” album on loop.
Wishing: for a puppy!!
Enjoying: our Tavour membership – Dave and I get monthly crates of craft beer from all over the country/world, and this month’s shipment just came yesterday. So fun to try new ones! (Who AM I?!)
Waiting: anxiously for Thursday – so, so ready for a long weekend at home with my whole Schwegfam and my best friends!
Liking: many, many photos of puppies!! (Can you sense a theme developing??)
Wondering: why USPS sucks at updating delivery statuses.
Hoping: that it’s a nice weekend weather-wise in Minnesota so we can get on the lakes and go to the State Fair!
Marveling: at the ridiculous number of Dave selfies in my phone - and at the sheer variety of facial expressions of which he's capable.
Needing: a whole kitchen’s worth of stuff before we move in October!
Smelling: Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia perfume mixing oh-so-bizarrely with the Purell I’m dousing myself with every half hour – everyone at work is sick and I just cannot succumb pre-trip!
Wearing: the softest and coziest dress/sweater/scarf combo – perfect for variable Bay Area weather.
Following: every dog-related account on Instagram and Twitter – the thirst for a puppy is getting more serious by the day, friends. Stay tuned – 2019 IS The Year In Which Dave And Lizzie Get A Dog.
Noticing: how the people who bitch the most about being busy and stressed always seem to be the ones accomplishing the least amount of actual work…hmm ;)
Knowing: probably more than I should about office politics and transitions that are coming up.
Thinking: too much.
Bookmarking: wall-mount organization systems, neutral 8x10 area rugs, barstools, floor lamps, and bookshelves for the new apartment. All I’ve done lately is furniture shop.
Giggling: at the completely ridiculous antics of just about everyone on this season of “Bachelor In Paradise,” and at the plethora of dad jokes Nate, Margaret and I have been sending back and forth for a few weeks.
Feeling: honestly, at this point? Pretty tired and ready for it to be October already…
