Ventage Tuesday - Currently I am....

July seems like a good time for a check in on whats up.  Be sure to check out Em, Stephanie, Barb and Katrina to see where we sync up and where we are far apart.  Maybe I can put together a Ventage Venn Diagram!!  :)

Currently I am....

Reading two things, The Best of Us by Sarah Pekkanen  - I am in a new book club (A Novel Bunch) and this was our inaugural selection.  and A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms - this is a cool prayer and reflection book.  I am trying to do a saint a week to keep me focused on what is important to me (for me as a mom, wife and woman) so I don't get so bogged down in stupid angst.

Playing less Candy Crush.  That game is the biggest time suck I have ever found.  Trying to stay away!!

Watching very little tv.  Not much I am interested in - although I would love to catch up on Mad Men.

Trying to get organized for a shower I am hosting in August.  Lots of details to coordinate remotely.

Cooking mostly on the grill - lots of goodness there.  I bought a grill basket and loving putting veggies in there.

Eating healthy, again.  I got a little derailed by the holiday weekend.  Back on the clean eating train!

Drinking too much gin.  Yikes!

Calling my dad on my morning commute, great way to start a day.

Texting the Ventage girls fashion pics, love this little tradition.

Pinning lots of patio party ideas.  I love patio parties.

Crafting nothing.  Need to work on Project Life.

Going too many miles an hour. Need to stop the overscheduling.

Loving our progress on the Summer Bucket List.  Victory!

Hating soccer.  I grudgingly take Luke to soccer practice and games.  It is just not my thing, I find it SOOO boring.  but he is having a blast and I like to see that.

Discovering that I take A LOT of steps a day.  My fitbit average is over 80,000 steps in a 7 day period.  Yay!

Thinking a lot about being intentional about my life.  Trying to go with the flow a little less.

Listening (to)  Country BBQ genre station on Pandora.  Fun, cheerful music.

Smelling mint.  A coworker keeps bringing me fresh mint.

Thanking God for unanswered prayers.

Considering coloring my hair.

Starting back to school shopping as a mom for the first time!

Finishing the last of the strawberries we picked.  yum.
