As September draws to a close, I thought this would be a perfect time to reflect and take stock!
Enjoying: walking around outside under the sun in the sweater weather, looking like a cupcake
Listening: to old tracks on my iPhone
Wearing: an oversized cashmere cardigan that I got in Paris
Making: plans with my sister to meet up after work
Cooking: sausage farfalle
Drinking: Sauvignon blanc
Feeling: very sore after a killer workout at The Dailey Method Ottawa
Reading: the Kim Kardashian biography *hangs head in shame*
Looking: at the gorgeous maple trees that are a myriad of fall colours right now
Wishing: for some Stuart Weiztman Lowland Boots
Liking: the Serial Podcast – amazing
Waiting: for my office remodel to be complete. Excited!
Snacking: on Starbucks’ Cheese and Fruit Bistro Box
Coveting: my co-workers navy silk shirt with a ruffled front. Gorgeous.
Hearing: the “whoosh” of air conditioning. Enough! Can we turn that off now??
Learning: to use Microsoft Project. Ugh.
Loving: the little jokes my husband texts me
Watching: a YouTube video by my fave blogger, Lydia Elise Millen
Admiring: how pretty my city is in the fall
Getting: my favourite soup recipes cued up for fall
Wondering: about airfare to Spain
Playing: Beatles’ songs on my iPhone
Noticing: a major difference in my flexibility thanks to The Dailey Method Ottawa
Giggling: at some terrible artwork (I know, I know – art is subjective)
Bookmarking: www.stellaasteria.com. Great blog!
Deciding: on suede bomber jacket from Nordstrom
Hoping: that someone will bring me a slice of pumpkin pie
Contemplating: new window treatments for our office
Wanting: this amazing jumpsuit from Club Monaco
Thinking: how nice it would be to have a mug of mulled wine right now.
Knowing: that tons of snow is right around the corner. Sigh.
Opening: the new, ultra sexy Bobbi Brown lipstick I scored last week
Feeling: warm and cozy
Marveling: at the fact that it’s been about five months since I last took stock!
