CURRENTLY . . . MAY . . . UH, REALLY??!!

May 2, 2013 by teacherideafactory

Okay, what did y’all do with April?  Seriously, folks!  Where did that last one go? It seems like it was Easter just yesterday, and then . . . BAM . . . here comes May. Not that I am complaining mind you, cuz I promise that I ain’t!  However, the way time seems to be slippin’ by these days surely is a wonderful reminder to seize the day!  

With a new month upon us, that only means one thing.  It’s time for Farley’s beloved Currently.  So, here’s my latest Linky installment . . .

Thanks to one and only Cara Carroll for her cute font!

As you know by now (if ya follow me), I love to explain.  So, here’s a little mindless insight into those answers above.  

LISTENING – I am an alt-nation girl to the core.  Although I love country (especially old school Waylon), give me alternative rock any day of the week and I’ll be as happy as a clam.  I finally wore out my fixation on Shiny Toy Guns, so I treated myself to 2 new albums this week.  I found Gotye’s original ditty and I snatched up Phoenix’s new collection.  Both have captured my heart in less than 24 hours!  If you are an alt fan, be sure to check these two out!

LOVING – I have always loved my class, but they have grown into the . . . dare I say it . . . PERFECT crew this past month.  I am floored with their growth, passion to learn, unfaltering compassion for one another, and their willingness to ALWAYS try their hardest.  These last 30 are going to be golden!

THINKING – I pride myself on having a great memory, but these past few weeks have shown that it may not be as good as I think (shhh . . . don’t utter a word of this to the hubs).  Mmmmmm . . . it’s list time! 

WANTING – raise your hand if you need something to look forward to!!??  I am going to Vegas in July as well as Portland for a week, but that’s too far away.  I am longing for something “beachy” in the near future.  

NEEDING – you would think the dry cleaner is holding my clothing hostage, but I keep forgetting to snag it on the way home.  See . . . I do need a list . . . stat!

SUMMER BUCKET LIST – that little line above says it all.  

Alright, I am off to work on my Survival Pack.  I am planning to have it up by Sunday.  Hopefully, I can buckle down and catch that creative wave.  I’ll be back soon with some free goods no matter what.  Hugs y’all and thanks for visiting.

      Oh my, girl . . . I wasn't paying attention. I know exactly who you are from your cute doggie profile pic. Did you change your blog design in the last year??? Thanks so much for poppin' over here too. Phoenix has a few bigger hits out. I didn't like their other album as much as this one. The latest is a real winner! Hugs my friend. Don't be a stranger . . . I won't either ๐Ÿ™‚

    Lists…I'm quite sure I would not survive without them. My brain spins out of control if I don't have pencil and paper handy. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Vegas & Portland sound fab! So does beachy!

    Hugs – Lisa

      There have been some other gals talking about matching up in the San Fran or Napa area. You down?? If yes, when and where would be best?? I was thinking June 15, 22, or 28! We should get the ball rolling on this one . . . I can't wait to meet you Camille ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh honey just wait…we need a list to remind us to make a list! Eesh!
    We love that you love your class. Certainly can't say that every year (last year to be exact!). We love our honeys this year too! Yay!

    We are ready for a vacay too…hint hint ๐Ÿ™‚
