CURRENTLY

So I'm gonna bullet this one... Here's some everyday kind of stuff from the past two weeks.

Eating 

• Whole30 no more. Well mine was really a Half30, but whatever. It served its intended purpose. 
• Anywho, here are a few tasty recipes I've been making lately... 
• Peanut Eggplant Tofu Bowls 
• Vegan Shepherd's Pie
• Cider Donuts
• These muffins a la vegan (subtract eggs, replace milk with favorite non-dairy option)
• Banana bread, but with more bananas, and no sugar (except for chocolate chips :D)

Drinking 

• Mixed drinks with Trader Joe's liquor. 
• Well like once a week, but TJ's brand liquor is great for the price and perfect for mixed drinks. (In Chicago, it's $9.99 for .75L of vodka and $13.99 for 1L of tequila).  

Watching (TV)

• It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
• Joe and I are currently halfway through Season 5. 
• The Mindy Project + Pretty Little Liars
• I've finally remembered to catch up on these shows after missing them while on the trail. 

Watching (Movies)

• I'm a self-proclaimed non-movie person, but as I try to make the most of my unemployed time, I'm trying to watch some classics I've never gotten around to. So far they've included:
• Breakfast At Tiffany's 
• Pretty Woman 
• Mystic Pizza 

Cheering For 

• The Cubs!
• Last Thursday night was sooo intense, but OMG! 108 years is over. It's been really exciting in Chicago. 

Exercising

• Running has been so so good. I've been working my way up to running a 5K at an 8 minute pace on the treadmill and went to Nike Running Club over the weekend. 
• My friend Anna and I have also been working out a few mornings a week. We do a bunch of things, but we actually do abs and it's nice to have someone to peer pressure me into doing them. 

Listening To 

• More Alt-J, An Awesome Wave (2014)
• Daughter ( Candles , Still , Youth )
• Ellie Goulding ( Something In The Way You Move , Outside )

Buying

• This vest in black (except a gently used one from eBay because I don't buy new down). I've worn it almost every day since it arrived last week. 
• Trader Joe's French Hand Soap. It smells so good and is vegan/as close to natural as soaps come. 
• Melatonin. I've only been using it for a few days, but since I started using it, I've been going to bed actually tired versus going to bed because it's late and time to sleep. 

Reading 

• What Alice Forgot by Lianne Moriarty
• Started and finished last week. I read it with the same voracity that I read Gone Girl in. Apparently it's going to be a movie starring Jennifer Aniston in 2017. 
• David Copperfield 
• Picked this brick up again and started it from the beginning. I'm on a mission to finish it before I turn 25. So far, the going is slow. 

I guess that's it for now. What are you up to these days?
