Happy Monday, friendly faces! 
Whoās pumped that itās June?!? Apparently I am, seeing as Iāve 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. Iām sure itāll come back to bite me in the butt later in the day, but for now Iām allllll yours.
So if youāve been reading Spoons for at least a couple of months, you may have noticed that Iām 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 oneā¦ hereās life as I currently know it!
. ā . ā . ā .
Current book: As we speak Iām 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 TiĆ«stoā¦ on repeat.

Current guilty pleasure: See āobsessionā below.
Current nail colour: Still loving the baby pinks on my nails (mostly because chips arenāt as noticeable), but Iāve been rocking OPIāsI Bright Lights Big Colour on my toes, which is a bright coral with subtle glitter.
Current drink: Still coffeeeeeeeeeā¦. 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. Iāve been enjoying it/them on a daily basis for a few weeks now, and it doesnāt look like that habit is going away any time soon.
Current obsession: Omigosh, you guysā¦. 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 didnāt expect to like it, and wasnāt even crazy about it when I first started playing, but daaaaaaangā¦ somewhere along the line, addiction happened, and Iāve pretty much become a lost cause. If you need me, Iāll be tending my cropsā¦
Current wish: Uhmmmmā¦ is it a good thing that I canāt 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 Iām 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 doesnāt 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 theyāre not going to get done. Itās a bad habit, but one I canāt seem to shake ā I guess I just work well under pressure.
Current blessing: Iām just going to go with life in general. I know I say this almost every time, but Iām a fan of life ā 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 wonāt be buying it online, but Iām trying to get a good idea of what I want before I head out to the mallā¦ hopefully some time today!
Do you play any games on your iPad or phone?

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, Iām dying over the Farmville thingā¦but only because I can totally relate! I used to have a full on addiction to Cafe World through Facebook! You donāt 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! Iāve got so many freaking emails to respond to and blog things to get started onā¦and shit, I just remembered I still havenāt picked a winner for my last giveaway! Oh hell!
Mannn, I canāt believe Blend is already here! It seems like a few weeks ago bloggers were talking about it. I so wish I could meet yāall there! So please have fun on behalf of me, and Iāll live vicariously through your postsā¦hehehe.
Wish you could be there too, Ellie! It would have been awesome to meet ya!
Oooooh I canāt wait to see the dress you choose! And BLEND ā OMG Iām so excited, itās going to be a blast! As for Farmville, one of my BFFās in college became obsessed with it on Facebook. Iāve never given into social media games. It would be all downhill if I did
Iām so excited for your upcoming Blend trip! Canāt wait to hear allllll about it, friend.
1) ā¦ book. White Girl Problems. Hahahaha yeah, I did
2) ā¦ food. Iāve been eating grapes like crazy
3) ā¦ need. A massage & a long run
4) ā¦ excitement. So many things! The prospect of summer, new friends, adventuresā¦ ahhhhh

Give me your current:
1) ā¦ book. < The Fault in Our Stars for the 4th time. Because the movie comes out THIS WEEKEND
2) ā¦ food. < Dairy Free chocolate coated ice cream bars. The crunch. The Ice Cream. Amazing.
3) ā¦ need. < Lunch. This girl is STARVING.
4) ā¦ excitement. < Ref Number 1
5) ā¦ 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 havenāt been playing it as much lately.
Current book ā Iām still working on āDivergentā. I started it in March and havenāt finished itā¦
Current food ā Caesar salad!
Current excitement ā I bought new running sneakers yesterday. I canāt 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! letās 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) ā¦ book. Ugh I wish I had time to read for pleasure right now. The only things Iāve been reading are textbooks, scientific articles, and government reports.
2) ā¦ food. Iām eating a bowl of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, honey, cereal, banana, blueberries, and soy nut butter right now!
3) ā¦ need. I totally agree with you ā more hours in the day!
4) ā¦ excitement. Going to Lettuce Love Cafeās anniversary event tonight with some friends.
5) ā¦ mood. Nervous for a group session Iām running for the Canadian Prenatal Nutrition Program today!
I hope you got your dress. Iām still trying to dig out my bathing suits and summer clothes over here. I donāt 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. Thatās coffee and list writing time.
Yes I deliberately avoided answering any and all questions because Iām 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.
Iām addicted to Hey Day ā so much better than Farmvilleā¦as if I just said that.
Current book: What to Eat ā 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 hahaā¦)
You make ice cream sandwiches so appealing! Hi from my 5 minute lunch break.
Glad to read your feeling pretty damn good- just donāt forget your nameā¦. Itās 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 80ās with 90% humidity. LOL!
I love that TiĆ«sto song! Iāve been really into EDM lately ā such great music for cycling classes.
And I used to play Farmville ā I had to step away because I would be in a meeting thinking: Itās time to harvest, Melissa. When can you harvest?
haha
My current book ā Iām reading two right now: Gone Girl and The Sex Lives of Cannibals
Food: watermelon ā yummy, so delicious and refreshing
Need: a fixed car!!! Broke down last night and Iām dog sitting about 15 miles from workā¦Maybe I can repair my uncleās bike and ride itā¦
Excitement: Orange is the New Black season 2 is released on Friday!
Mood: ok. Not thrilled about the car but excited about OITNB
Thatās currently happening to me with Farmville. Iām literally scheduling my days and sleeps around when Eddie will land
Oh goshā¦
1) I have been trying to get myself into another Nicholas Sparks book, but in all honesty I just havenāt had the time to get into it.

Iāve seen good reviews for Smoke & Bone. I love YA novels so I keep coming across that in āsimilar reads.ā How is it so far?
Itās really good! Was a little hard to figure out what was going on at first, but itās 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!
