Sipping cocktails on patios. Driving up to the cottage. Rocking out at music festivals…
Summer is underway in Ottawa – although we are hard pressed to tell because the weather has been so frenetic. Sigh. That isn’t stopping us from enjoying it as best as we can! Read on to see how I’m taking stock during the summer season.
Enjoying: some music I discovered at RBC Bluesfest
Listening: to Migos’ Bad & Boujee
Wearing: an off-the-shoulder top and high-waisted Levi’s that I forgot I had, but was reminded when one of my BFFs wore a similar pair to Bluesfest
Making: a plan to hit up the Zara summer sale after work
Cooking: well, marinating some steaks for tonight
Drinking: water
Feeling: happy!
Reading: www.Jezebel.com
Booking: hotel reservations for our getaway to Montreal!
Wishing: the Double G Gucci belt wasn’t backordered *eye roll*
Liking: this awesome Clear Proof charcoal face mask by Mary Kay. Really incredible!
Waiting: for consistently hot, sunny weather. Damn you, Mother Nature!
Snacking: on a pretty good pear
Coveting: a Gucci leather belt, dammit!
Hearing: a pin drop. It’s so quiet
Learning: a few graphic design hacks
Loving: this Bobbi Brown Beach perfume I’m wearing!
Watching: Golden Girls Season 5
Admiring: my new turquoise bracelet
Getting: a new iPhone to replace my beloved yet shattered 6+
Wondering: how I busted up my iPhone so badly. Oh yeahhh…wine.
Playing: with my ear cuff
Noticing: that I’ve gained a little weight since music festival season started. Sigh.
Giggling: at a hilarious picture I took at Bluesfest
Bookmarking: an IG stories hacks page I found on the internet
Deciding: on what to pack for Spain
Hoping: that someone will show up with chocolate for me right now
Contemplating: some futures plans I should make stat
Wanting: this bag NOW
Thinking: about which restaurants to hit up in Montreal!
Knowing: to bring my own umbrella or my friend will freak out when I ask to use hers
Opening: up a tub of hummus. Fascinating, right?
Feeling: freezing in this ridiculous air conditioning
Marveling: at how great the last few months have been!
i love Watching: Golden Girls Season 5! I’m actually doing all the SATC and it makes me wanna buy more shoes than my wardrobe can keep! channeling my inner Carrie Bradshaw!

Patricia! That’s amazing! And I own all of the seasons of SATC on DVD. You’ve inspired me to start watching them again. Hopefully I won’t go shoe crazy!
Ooooh I love this type of blog post! It’s like a simplistic version of a life update. Might try this out on my own blog some time, if that’s alright! 🙂
