Hello, hello, friendly faces! Happy Monday to ya! 😀
So. Uhm. Okay. I was hoping to share a cookie recipe with you guys today, but the one I’m working on still needs a bit more tweaking, and I didn’t have a chance to do enough of that this weekend since I spent the majority of Sunday with my momma. You know… Mother’s Day and all.
SO! We’re pushing the cookies back a few days and busting out the Currentlies. This post is actually a little overdue anyways, since I normally do them at the beginning of each new month. And cookies soon! Promise.
Current book: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. I’ve heard this author being compared to Patrick Rothfuss (who wrote one of my favourite books — The Name of the Wind), so I decided to check him out and I’m enjoying this one so far. I’m only about 60 pages in (out of 530) so I can’t say much for the storyline, but I really like the writing.
Current music: We Can’t Stop by Timeflies [Tuesday]. Easy on the ears, and easy on the eyes. Mmm hmm.

Current [non]-guilty pleasure: I had to borrow a page from Meg’s book here and change this to NON-guilty pleasure since I always had such a hard time thinking of something that I enjoy but guilty for. And this month’s pleasure is finally being able to take my walks/runs outside and having this about 5 minutes from my door…
Current nail colour: Passion from OPI. Baby/nude pinks like this one are pretty much my favourite polishes to wear on a daily basis because they give you a nice classy colour and shine, and you barely notice when they chip.
Current drink: Green smoothies, all day, everyday. Well… every morning, anyways. Love how refreshed and energized I feel after starting my day with one of these, and they’re a great way to get in some extra vitamins and minerals, especially if you’re not so big on salads.
Current food: Chocolate Mighty Flakes from Love Grown Foods. Holy.snap, you guys. I’m not even sure if I should recommend that you go out and try these because they’re.so.crazy.addicting. The crunchy, flaky texture is on point, and they legit taste like brownies. I may need to join a support group.
Current obsession: Raw chocolate. So much love for Zimt chocolate and cacao right now.
Current wish: That I could find more than 2 flavours of aforementioned raw chocolate. I mean, I love coffee, but I don’t always want it combined with my chocolate. It’s either that or cayenne pepper, though, and me and anything spicy is just… no.
Current need: A dress for Blend! I kind of need one by Friday night, which leaves me 3 days to find one since I’m leaving on Thursday morning. Have I mentioned that I like to wait until the very last minute to do things? 😆 But I’ve got my eye set on this one…

… I just need to actually try it on and decide between black or red. Whatcha guys think?
Current triumph: Running these stairs in the river valley a few times a week. I feel like Rocky when I get to the top. Well, when my legs stop shaking, anyways.
Current bane of my existence: The cookie recipe that I mentioned at the beginning of this post. I feel like I’m so close to perfecting it. Just a few more tweaks.
Current indulgence: Aforementioned rejected chocolate chip cookies… Although it’s not so much an indulgence as it is a necessary evil at this point 😆
Current procrastination: Packing my suitcase… which is probably my answer to this question at least 80% of the time.
Current blessing: Family. No idea how I’d get by without them.
Current excitement: 3 more days until I get to see some of my best blogging buddies at Blend!
Current mood: Excited, nervous, and scatterbrained… which is basically how I feel before every trip.
Current link: Can You Pass This Middle School Quiz from 1995? Bam. Nailed it.
Your turn! Give me your current:
1) … book.
2) … food.
3) … wish.
4) … mood.
5) … bane of existence.

Love that dress… in black… because I’m always all black everything 🙂 Hope you have so much fun at Blend, pretty girl!! You better take photos in that dress!
Have fun at Blend girl! Wish I was going, but I’ll be having some early birthday celebrations with my family this weekend instead. A nice dinner out + cheesecake is almost as good as hanging out with you again – but not quite! 😉
Wish you were going too! It’s been way too long since I’ve seen you 🙁 When you coming out West to see the mountains? 😛
I am SO SAD To miss this year!!! Do the red. And send me some cookies. Please. 🙂
I love so many of your currentlies, especially that dress! My vote is for black, but the red is gorgeous.
My current favorite breakfast is overnight oats. I always forget how good it is.
Green smoothies are definitely the best! Ooooh…that dress is so pretty! I’m definitely liking the black one!

Did you know that Zimt is the German word for cinnamon? does the chocoalte taste like cinnamon?? That would be awesome!
I didn’t know that! But it doesn’t taste like it. I wish it did, though, because that combo is SO good.
