Currently…
It’s time for Currently! Here we go! I am currently…
Discovering: Well, REdiscovering just how clever the movie Alice Through the Looking Glass is! I posted a review of the movie when it was in theaters, and now it’s out on Blu-Ray. This is an excellent movie on every level. It’s a feast for your eyes, your ears, and your heart!
Celebrating: Meeting a big goal! I signed up for the Write 31 Days blogging challenge, and I did it! I wrote my series, Michael Ann’s Kitchen, and posted every single day of October! As is typical when we push ourselves to do something hard, I learned a LOT! I learned tons about blogging in general, WordPress, and the powerful tools available to me via remarkable apps like Canva and Pic Monkey. I’m exhausted, and I’m exhilarated!
Starting: Well, REstarting a concerted effort to make wise food choices and to exercise. I’ve been off my game for a while, and then Hurricane Matthew threw me for a loop emotionally (even though we made it through just fine). That emotional exhaustion plus two birthdaypaloozas (mine and my daughter’s) plus the Write 31 Days challenge totally upset my apple cart! It’s time to right the cart and get back on the wagon. (Oh dear! My tired is showing! Moving on…)
Wearing: Let’s talk about what I’m NOT wearing. The temperatures here in Coastal Georgia are STILL pushing 90 degrees. In November. Ugh. So I’m NOT wearing my beloved hoodies, boots, or jackets. It’s sad really.
(Well, there WAS that weekend camping trip last month near Chattanooga, Tennessee when the temps dipped to just shy of freezing! Bliss, I tell you! And, yes, we tent camp. Stay tuned for more about that trip!)
Googling: More electric pressure cooker recipes and charts. I wrote about how much I’m enjoying my pressure cooker several weeks ago, and I’m still loving it. I’m considering buying an Instant Pot because (1) I’d like to see how it compares to my Farberware pressure cooker, and (2) some days I’d like to have TWO of them to use!
That’s what *I* am up to these days! How about you? Let me know in the comment section!
I’m linking up today with Anne of In Residence and Catherine of A Short Blonde. Be sure to see what THEY are currently up to as well!

Nashville is still in the 80s! I can’t believe it. I’m originally from Chicago so the heat still surprises me.
It’ll get cooler eventually, right? RIGHT?!???
Wow, good for you on the writing! In a totally different arena, I felt a lot of those things after doing a Whole30 a couple of years ago. Kind of amazing to challenge yourself with something so good for you – learning and feeling accomplished and all. And yes please to birthdaypaloozas! In my family we have those in June and September.
Thanks, Anne, for the kind words and for stopping by! I love this link up! Thank you for hosting it.
