Happy Monday, friendly faces! 😀
Who’s pumped that it’s June?!? Apparently I am, seeing as I’ve been awake since the crack of dawn (read: somewhere after 4) and more productive than any human ought to be before the sun comes up. I’m sure it’ll come back to bite me in the butt later in the day, but for now I’m allllll yours.
So if you’ve been reading Spoons for at least a couple of months, you may have noticed that I’m a fan of filling out these currently posts at the beginning of every month, and since it just so happens to be the beginning of a new one… here’s life as I currently know it!
. – . – . – .
Current book: As we speak I’m making my way through Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. I was going to start it last month after finishing up Throne of Glass, buuuuuut then I got sucked into reading the sequel and prequels from that series so this one kind of got pushed back. Better late than never!
Current music: Red Lights by Tiësto… on repeat.

Current guilty pleasure: See “obsession” below.
Current nail colour: Still loving the baby pinks on my nails (mostly because chips aren’t as noticeable), but I’ve been rocking OPI’sI Bright Lights Big Colour on my toes, which is a bright coral with subtle glitter.
Current drink: Still coffeeeeeeeee…. But more specifically, Americanos from Starbucks with a splash of cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I die. And yes, I still drink hot coffee in the warmer weather.
Current food: Ice cream and/or ice cream sandwiches. I’ve been enjoying it/them on a daily basis for a few weeks now, and it doesn’t look like that habit is going away any time soon.
Current obsession: Omigosh, you guys…. this is embarrassing, and I have no idea how it happened. I mean, I know how, but not why. I was a little bored the other day and browsing through apps on my iPad, when I came across Farmville. I honestly didn’t expect to like it, and wasn’t even crazy about it when I first started playing, but daaaaaaang… somewhere along the line, addiction happened, and I’ve pretty much become a lost cause. If you need me, I’ll be tending my crops…
Current wish: Uhmmmm… is it a good thing that I can’t really think of anything?
Current need: More hours in the day! I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew in terms of work, projects, and studies, so I’m feeling a little stretched thin at the moment. Just gotta remember to breathe.

Current triumph: Remembering to breathe 😆 Even though sometimes I think I forget 😯
Current bane of my existence: Scatterbrained-ness. Does anyone ever find that the more things they have on their to-do list, the more trouble they have figuring out where to start, and the more time they waste doing nothing? Maybe this. But no, that sounds important. Ack! What if this doesn’t get done!? Current story of my life. Clearly I need to work on prioritization.
Current indulgence: Still going with the naps for this one.
Current procrastination: Finding a dress for Blend! I have this habit of leaving things until the last minute and then freaking out that they’re not going to get done. It’s a bad habit, but one I can’t seem to shake — I guess I just work well under pressure.
Current blessing: I’m just going to go with life in general. I know I say this almost every time, but I’m a fan of life — the good and the bad. The good for obvious reasons, and the bad for the lessons they provide.
Current excitement: T minus 3 days until I get to see some of my favourite people at Blend. Just a tad bit excited about that one.
Current mood: Freaking GIDDY! 
Current link: Bebe.com. I think I mentioned that Blend is coming up and I have yet to find a dress? I won’t be buying it online, but I’m trying to get a good idea of what I want before I head out to the mall… hopefully some time today!
Do you play any games on your iPad or phone?
Give me your current:
1) … book.
2) … food.
3) … need.

Right here is the perfect blog for anyone who wishes to understand this topic. You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really will need laugh out loud). You certainly put a new spin on a subject which has been written about for many years. Great stuff, just great!
Hahaha! Omg, I’m dying over the Farmville thing…but only because I can totally relate! I used to have a full on addiction to Cafe World through Facebook! You don’t even want to know the lengths I would go to to make sure all my dishes were served at the appropriate times! Lol
And girl, I totally feel ya on the crazy scatterbrained feeling! I’ve got so many freaking emails to respond to and blog things to get started on…and shit, I just remembered I still haven’t picked a winner for my last giveaway! Oh hell!
Mannn, I can’t believe Blend is already here! It seems like a few weeks ago bloggers were talking about it. I so wish I could meet y’all there! So please have fun on behalf of me, and I’ll live vicariously through your posts…hehehe.
Wish you could be there too, Ellie! It would have been awesome to meet ya!
Oooooh I can’t wait to see the dress you choose! And BLEND – OMG I’m so excited, it’s going to be a blast! As for Farmville, one of my BFF’s in college became obsessed with it on Facebook. I’ve never given into social media games. It would be all downhill if I did 😉
I’m so excited for your upcoming Blend trip! Can’t wait to hear allllll about it, friend.
1) … book. White Girl Problems. Hahahaha yeah, I did
2) … food. I’ve been eating grapes like crazy
3) … need. A massage & a long run
4) … excitement. So many things! The prospect of summer, new friends, adventures… ahhhhh
5) … mood. EXCITED!
Give me your current:
1) … book. < The Fault in Our Stars for the 4th time. Because the movie comes out THIS WEEKEND
2) … food. < Dairy Free chocolate coated ice cream bars. The crunch. The Ice Cream. Amazing.
3) … need. < Lunch. This girl is STARVING.
4) … excitement. < Ref Number 1
5) … mood. < Tired? Trying to not be grumpy?
🙂
Do you play any games on your iPad or phone? Oh my, Farmville! I was so addicted to that a few years ago! I knew when they re-launched it that I had to stay away! I had been pretty hooked (as in totally addicted) to Candy Crush, but I haven’t been playing it as much lately.
Current book – I’m still working on ‘Divergent’. I started it in March and haven’t finished it…
Current food – Caesar salad!
Current excitement – I bought new running sneakers yesterday. I can’t wait to wear them today!
I went through a Candy Crush phase as well! I actually just started dabbling in it after taking a few months off, and then I found Farmville. Eep!
i love your blessing! let’s keep that current every month! <3
Be careful with Farmville!!! I was listening to a piece on the radio the other day about people who have spent hundreds and even thousands of their own dollars on that game! Haha.
My current:
1) … book. Ugh I wish I had time to read for pleasure right now. The only things I’ve been reading are textbooks, scientific articles, and government reports.
2) … food. I’m eating a bowl of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, honey, cereal, banana, blueberries, and soy nut butter right now!
3) … need. I totally agree with you – more hours in the day!
4) … excitement. Going to Lettuce Love Cafe’s anniversary event tonight with some friends.
5) … mood. Nervous for a group session I’m running for the Canadian Prenatal Nutrition Program today!
I hope you got your dress. I’m still trying to dig out my bathing suits and summer clothes over here. I don’t even know if I should bring a suit either. Swimming does sound a little more appealing than a 7 am boot camp class though. Oops, did I say that? And I love boot camp classes, just not at 7 am. That’s coffee and list writing time.
Yes I deliberately avoided answering any and all questions because I’m currently working on my own currently post.
PS Bag the blog hop thing. Too much on your plate means something has to give, so scratch that one off your list.
😆 I very much doubt that I’ll end up going to the bootcamp, so you’ll have at least one person to sit in silence with while drinking coffee and writing your lists 🙂
I’m addicted to Hey Day – so much better than Farmville…as if I just said that.
Current book: What to Eat – Marion Nestle, Current Food: butternut squash soup, Current need: beautiful weather for my convocation on Wednesday!, Current excitement: Convocation! Current mood: Excited that I found this blog! (so cheesy haha…)
You make ice cream sandwiches so appealing! Hi from my 5 minute lunch break.
Glad to read your feeling pretty damn good- just don’t forget your name…. It’s Sally.
I rarely drink cold coffee and even though I live in Houston, yes I am still drinking hot coffee too, even though it is already high 80’s with 90% humidity. LOL!
I love that Tiësto song! I’ve been really into EDM lately – such great music for cycling classes.
And I used to play Farmville – I had to step away because I would be in a meeting thinking: It’s time to harvest, Melissa. When can you harvest?
haha
My current book – I’m reading two right now: Gone Girl and The Sex Lives of Cannibals
Food: watermelon – yummy, so delicious and refreshing
Need: a fixed car!!! Broke down last night and I’m dog sitting about 15 miles from work…Maybe I can repair my uncle’s bike and ride it…
Excitement: Orange is the New Black season 2 is released on Friday!
Mood: ok. Not thrilled about the car but excited about OITNB 😉
That’s currently happening to me with Farmville. I’m literally scheduling my days and sleeps around when Eddie will land 😆 Oh gosh…
1) I have been trying to get myself into another Nicholas Sparks book, but in all honesty I just haven’t had the time to get into it.
2) Baked white potatoes! I just love making them into fries with a side of ketchup!
3) My little house to be finished up with repairs so I can get moved in and decorate !
4) Well that is an easy one! Moving into my house 🙂
5) Relaxed. I wish I could just relax forever in this spot
Ugh, I wish I was going to Blend!!!! I want to meet you and all of the other bloggers wah.
Current book: JUST finished “Chasing Perfect” – loved it!
Current food: raspberries and cashews.(not together) so good
Current need: SLEEP
Current excitement: starting two jobs this week and next!
Current mood: sleepy.. haha
current mood: Overwhelmed! So.much.to.do.so.little.time AHHHHHH
I know -exactly- what you mean. Current story of my life.
LOVE that OPI nail color. I’m going to have to find that.
I always seem to over-promise, over-stretch, and over-commit my self. It’s a problem.
So jealous of your Blend trip coming up! Can’t wait to hear/read all about it!
Oh, and I totally still drink *hot* coffee every morning, and I live in the south!
mood: excited for summer (perk of a teacher!)
need: nada! now, want..that’s a different story 😉
food: anything on the grill, and still loving my healthy avocado chicken salad. Mmm!
My friend gave me an ice cream sandwich yesterday and I think he unleashed a monster. I forgot how amazing they are!! I’m addicted now. Currently I am reading Gone Girl and I can’t put it down!!
I had another ice cream sandwich yesterday and I definitely had no “ragrets.” And honestly your bed looks so cozy I just want to crawl in and take a nap myself (I promise not in a creepy way haha)
1) … book: “The Fault In Our Stars” just finished it actually
3) … need. To start season 4 of Downton Abbey.
4) … excitement. Leaving for Austin on Friday!!!
5) … mood. Mellow
I’ve seen good reviews for Smoke & Bone. I love YA novels so I keep coming across that in “similar reads.” How is it so far?
It’s really good! Was a little hard to figure out what was going on at first, but it’s finally coming together. And I like the writing style as well.
1. Book: Gone by Gillian Flynn.
2. Food: SUNFLOWER BUTTER!!! Give me all the sunflower butter! Especially in my quinoa flakes or smoothies!
3. Need: to sleep. I’m on a high dose of antibiotics because of an infection from wisdom teeth surgery. That means an extremely pissed off tummy and a lethargic me. 🙁
4. Excitement: Summer!
5. Mood: Positive.
Ack! I feel you on the wisdom teeth PITA — mine were a nightmare. But it’ll get better soon — you just have to wait it out <3
