Currently…

by Ashley on January 25, 2013

Hey hey! How is everyone today?!

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty stoked it’s Friday. It wasn’t my favorite week ever due to Cody being gone at the beginning/middle of it, and then the weather just hasn’t been my thing. Did I mention that my usual 30 minute commute to work yesterday took TWO HOURS? I’m not even exaggerating. We had this awesome “freezing rain” (what the heck?!) that made the roads freeze over and there were cars going everywhere. It was ridiculous, not to mention super scary. Needless to say, I’m glad our little family is all safe and that we can have a nice cozy weekend at home.

I’ve seen this fun little survey floating around for awhile now, so of course I had to jump on it and do it myself. Plus, I know we’re all secretly a little nosy, so why not, right? Winking smile

Currently…

Current Book(s):

I’ve been reading The Happiest Baby On the Block the last couple weeks and have been learning so much! I really hope the author’s techniques hold true for Baby Hunter. Next book on the list is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I got it for Christmas and have heard nothing but great things about it!

Current Music:

I’m currently listening to Colby Caillat Radio on Pandora. It’s one of my favorites when I’m relaxing, writing, and/or working.

Capture

Current Guilty Pleasure:

Petting our dogs’ big soft ears. Ahh I just love them! I have a weird love for anything soft – blankets, stuffed animals, skin, etc. Cody says I’m going to rub Baby Hunter’s skin raw because I love soft skin so much. Ha!

Current Nail Color:

Nada! I’ve been meaning to paint them but just haven’t got around to it lately. Maybe it’ll happen this weekend?

Current Drink:

Water, water, and more water. I’m constantly thirsty these days, and water has been my drink of choice!

Current Food:

I’m not currently eating anything, but I’ve been loving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches the last few days! I just bought this new blackberry fruit spread the other day, and I’ve been eating it with crunchy peanut butter on wheat toast. So good!

IMG_2176

Current Favorite Show:

Cody and I aren’t really big TV people so we only have Netflix, but I’ve been watching Brothers & Sisters on Netflix and The Bachelor on ABC.com.

Current Wish List:

To be on a beach sipping on tropical drinks and basking in the sunshine. That’s really all I want at the moment.

Current Needs:

Currently I need FOOD. My belly is growling at me. I just need to figure out what it is that I want…

Current Bane of My Existence:

Heartburn! Ugh, it is no fun.

Current Celebrity Crush:

Ryan Reynolds obviously. Oh, and please tell me there’s a slight resemblance? I swear they have the same eyes, nose, and a similar smile. Cody doesn’t believe me.

40875_1466532136149_5089659_n[1]

Current Indulgence:

Trader Joe’s Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Truffles. They may not look like much from the outside, but they are all sorts of goodness on the inside. I think I “oooh and ahhh” every time I eat one.

IMG_2495

Current Blessing:

Our little one currently having quite the dance party in my belly. It makes me smile every time!

baby

Current Slang:

Hmm good question. I don’t use slang much that I’m aware of!

Current Outfit:

Pajamas! Heck yes!

Current Excitement:

It’s almost the freakin’ weekend baby! Woo hoo!

Current Mood:

Content Smile

Current Link:

I have Pandora, Twitter, and Annette’s blog (to get the survey questions) open in my browser.

Questions:

  • What are some of your “currents”?
  • Any fun plans for this weekend?

Me too!! And she always has great ones!!

Hey talk to your doctor about taking a daily Zantac for your heartburn. It is safe while pregnant and it helps sooo much. I had told my doctor I had heartburn and I was taking tums and she said she would rather neutralize the acid before it moved its way up. :)

Good to know! Thanks Dorsa!

My commute is taking forever too :( stupid weather! Those chocolates sound incredible and I love the adorabe baby scan, way too exciting. Have a great weekend!

Too cute, and yes, I can see the resemblance!

Reply

8 Erica @ For the Sake of Cake January 25, 2013 at 5:29 am

I can definitely see a resemblance between Cody and Ryan Reynolds! I always tell my husband he looks like John Mayer but he adamantly denies it. Just recently, one of his brother’s friends said that and I finally felt justified!

Reply

9 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:05 pm

I could totally see John Mayer in your husband!

10 Sam @ Better With Sprinkles January 25, 2013 at 5:30 am

Definitely see the resemblance in the smiles!

HA its 18 degrees here and I am a wimp. Makes me appreciate not having -1 like you! Pajamas all the way for today!

Sounds perfect! Hope you enjoyed your pajamas day! :)

14 Elizabeth @ My Neon Running Shoes January 25, 2013 at 5:44 am

I see the resemblance! And those truffles look to DIE for!!!

They are… You must try them if you get a chance!

16 Katie @ Peace Love & Oats January 25, 2013 at 6:15 am

omg he totally looks like Ryan Reynolds!!! And I’m the same way with petting Molly’s ears, they’re so soft! Over Christmas my brother asked me why I always pet her ears! haha.

Reply

17 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:06 pm

Haha! I just can’t get enough of their big soft ears!

Reply

18 Jana @ Happy Wife Healthy Life January 25, 2013 at 6:52 am

I love little surveys like this! :) my current obsessions include protein smoothies for food, my celebrity crush is Ryan Gosling (love!), and outfit is cheetah print flats, navy corduroys and a thick brown knitted turtleneck for warmth! It is a blizzard outside right now!

Oh, by the way, I can totally see the Ryan Reynolds/Cody resemblance! It is definitely there! :)

Reply

19 Angela @ Health's Angel January 25, 2013 at 7:09 am

Currently still obsessing over the PB&J combo and your looks delishhh!
I see a resemblance with your hubby and RR!

Reply

20 Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile January 25, 2013 at 7:16 am

I am obsessed with dogs ears! It’s so weird.. I have always been with all of my dogs. They are just sooo soft ! lol

21 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:07 pm

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one! ;)

22 Alex @ therunwithin January 25, 2013 at 7:57 am

I love petting soft ears like that, so soothing

Reply

23 Carly @ Snack Therapy January 25, 2013 at 7:57 am

A PB&J sounds awesome right about now.

Cody does look a little bit like Ryan Reynolds!

Reply

24 Meghan @ After the Ivy League January 25, 2013 at 8:00 am

Current wish list, also to be on a beach somewhere! It’s so cold, just walking a few blocks to dinner last night was almost unbearable. A 30 minute commute turning into 2 hours? Yikes! I’m ready for summer.

Reply

25 Amanda @ .running with spoons. January 25, 2013 at 8:08 am

That picture of you lounging on the beach just made my craving for sunshine and warmth that much more intense. I currently very much need some of that in my life. And I can totally see the resemblance! Nose, eyes, and smile for sure :)

Reply

26 Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning January 25, 2013 at 8:13 am

I don’t think that there are many things that I love more than PB&J sandwich. It’s what my husband and I had on our 1-year wedding anniversary (while doing an 8 hour hike!).
Pizza is my other favorite. I keep it real.
I’m watching the Bachelor too… I don’t know why. It’s so stupid…

Reply

27 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:08 pm

Mmm yes, I’m all about the PB&J and pizza too. ;) Haha I think the same thing every time I watch an episode of The Bachelor, but for whatever reason, I keep watching it!

Reply

28 Lauren January 25, 2013 at 8:34 am

Wow, Cody DOES look like Ryan! Lucky you!!! :) And I came home last night and put on the Norah Jones station on pandora and was pleased to have a relaxing mix of her and Colbie. Two beautiful voices to unwind to after a long day…priceless!
Happy Friday love!

29 Natalie @ Free Range Human January 25, 2013 at 8:48 am

Oh my gosh, I can totally see it! He does look like Ryan Reynolds! You are going to love Gone Girl. It’s the most disturbing and twisted book I’ve ever read!

Reply

30 Ali January 25, 2013 at 9:12 am

I really need to start reading that book too! It stares at me everyday. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich looks amazing! I want one of those pronto.

Reply

31 Jade January 25, 2013 at 9:15 am

I think it is great that you are doing reading on what happens after pregnancy – aka – you now have a baby! So much focus is on the pregnancy that when the babe comes you are like “EEEKKK”. For myself, I have read everything under the sun, but my kid will not follow any kind of ‘program’ or any kind of sleep training or nothing – I’m one tired momma after 7.5 months of literally poor sleep. You will do great but I guess what I’m saying is sometimes what we want just doesn’t work!

32 Rebekah Canonico January 25, 2013 at 9:29 am

Cute survey! I used Karp’s material with Caleb and recommend it to this day. I just applied his techniques on calming a fussy baby, and it helped very much at times with Caleb. For sure!! Also, I don’t blame you for having Ryan Reynold’s as a celebrity crush…he is a cutie! Sorry about your heartburn. :( I knew someone who had it bad during her pregnancy with twins, and she ate a lot of watermelon which strangely really helped her. With me, I always had to sleep sitting up and take Tums. :(

Reply

33 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:09 pm

That’s encouraging to know Karp’s techniques worked with Caleb! I hope I have the same luck! ;)

34 kim@hungryhealthygirl January 25, 2013 at 9:49 am

Current book- The Secret Keeper, Current wish list- I’ll join you on the beach!! Love surveys!

35 Danica @ It's Progression January 25, 2013 at 11:27 am

Oh my gosh your husband looks a ton like ryan reynolds!!! too funny.

Reply

36 Sarah (The Simple Dietitian) January 25, 2013 at 11:30 am

There is definitely a huge resemblance!

And YES to the beach. It was minus 8 degrees this morning, so I’m craving sun and warmth right about now. ;)

37 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:10 pm

Eeek! That sounds like our weather too… Hope it warms up a bit for you soon!

He does have similar features to ryan reynolds. I love surveys!

40 Michelle@Peachy Palate January 25, 2013 at 12:33 pm

Current food as I sit here….my first cauliflower pizza base with barbecue sauce and tofu pieces!!! Amazing!!! I think I left some ideas before but I’m sure if it was you or not for the heartburn…coconut water is good and almonds both help neutralise the acid. Pineapple as well does the same job!

41 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:10 pm

Oh thank you! Great to know! :)

42 Annette@Fitness Perks January 25, 2013 at 2:17 pm

We loved the techniques in Happiest Baby on the Block! :)

PS- cute survey! I might have to borrow it!

It’s good to hear you liked them! I hope they work for us too. :)

Yay! Surveys are so fun! I did one today, too! Happy Weekend! :)

Oh I totally see the Ryan Reynolds comparison! How funny!

48 Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance January 26, 2013 at 4:29 am

Hey I see what you mean about the Ryan Reynolds resemblance! Touche Ashley ;)

Reply

49 Kristen @ notsodomesticated January 26, 2013 at 5:33 am

I actually do see what you mean about the Ryan Reynolds resemblance! That’s pretty funny!! My celebrity crushes would probably be Tim Tebow, Ryan Gosling, and Justin Timberlake. :) But I think my husband is pretty swoon-worthy, too. ;)

50 Ashley January 26, 2013 at 6:09 am

Happy Weekend ! I am also longing for a nice sunny vacation. Winter can be so dreary :)

51 Lauren @ Lawfully Wedded Wife January 26, 2013 at 8:14 am

Ohhh yay, I’m totally going to have to steal this survey! No big weekend plans for me, it’s freezing and snowy where I am. :)

I love this survey!! I currently am trying to make my way through google reader and emails after neglecting it all week! ugh… I’m also currently wishing you lived closer to me!

Reply

54 Ashley January 27, 2013 at 5:12 pm

Aww I’d LOVE if we lived closer too! Hope you’re feeling better love!

55 Miranda @ Biting Life January 26, 2013 at 5:29 pm

Ooh, peanut butter and jelly sounds really good right now! I haven’t had one of those in forever.

Haha, you’re right, he actually does kinda look like Ryan Reynolds!

Reply

56 Emily @ Hungry Delights January 27, 2013 at 2:11 am

He definitely does look very similar to ryan reynolds! How uncanny :)
You will love Gone Girl – I finished it just recently and it was soo good! So many twists!

I just finished up Gone Girl and really liked it. I keep seeing those Trader Joe’s pb caramel truffles and am thinking it may be time for me to go buy some already!
