Current Book: Think Twice by Lisa Scottoline. I discovered Scottoline and her incredible books about four years ago, and to this day cannot seem to move on to any other author. Her books have a haunting effect, and often I find myself thinking about them at the most random times. I think it's because the plot lines in each of her books are not "ghosts and graveyards" type of scary, rather they are realistic and things that could happen to anyone. I have not yet finished this one, but I predict I will not be disappointed. I highly recommend giving her a chance, you won't regret it.
Current Music: So, a little tidbit you may not know about me-- I'm a total country music freak. I mean I LOVE country music. I know, I know, go ahead and judge. Even my friends make fun of me for it, but I don't care! This is one of my current favorites. I even chose a popular one so you wouldn't get too bored. ;)
Current Guilty Pleasure: Dance Moms all the way. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I never miss a week of Dance Moms. I figure I spend seven hours every day working by butt off in school, one hour of reality TV every Tuesday can't be that damaging to the brain, right?
Current Nail Color: Naked. Always naked. #lazygirlproblems
Current Drink: I don't buy these a whole lot as they are a bit pricey, but they are so good! They don't have that "fake sweet" taste (yuck) and they are perfectly refreshing on a hot day along the California coast. Panama Peach is my favorite.
Current Food: Looking back, I think I have had pizza at least once a week for the past 3 weeks now! This is huge for me, considering that before this I had not honestly enjoyed a slice of pizza for nearly two years. I figure I better get used to it now, because what will next year be like if I can't even indulge in the staple college food?
Current Obsession: Ice skating. Weird, right? I've been going ice skating almost every weekend since Christmas break. I don't mean to brag, but I'm kind of getting good at it! Especially considering I've never taken a lesson in my entire life.
Current Wish: To get a part in the school musical! I recently auditioned for a part in Peter Pan. I am in no way, shape, or form a singer, however I used to be part of the drama club in middle school and freshman year. When I moved in the tenth grade, I gave it up. Well, it is now my last semester of high school ever (what!?) and I am praying for one more chance to be on stage. Even if it is just a teensy, minor role, I will be so thankful!
Current Triumph: This may seem insignificant, but today I mastered my backbend-kickover! (or re-mastered, I should say) I was a gymnast up until middle school when I started doing other sports. While I was still athletic during that time, I lost basically all of my flexibility. Junior year I got my backbend kick over back, but it was when I was at one of my lowest weights. After I became weight restored and was able to exercise again, I realized my body was no longer capable of that with 20+ extra pounds on me. Well, after months of working on it, I have officially re-mastered the backbend kick over. I feel confident, strong, and healthy once again! And let me tell you-- it is a good feeling.
Current Need: To start my term paper for AP Government. I may or may not have decided to write this instead. . . Oops.
Current Bane of My Existence: Homework, homework, homework. Can you say senioritis?
Current Indulgence: Socializing! This may seem like a strange indulgence, but for the first time in my life ever I have been going out with my friends on the weekends and just having a great time. Country dances, birthday parties, movies, lunch dates, shopping-- just the typical high-schooler life. I love it! I love having friends. I love being able to stay out until 3 a.m. from time to time. I love feeling free.
Current Blessing: I am currently thankful to have my job back. My eating disorder took a lot away from me, and one of those things happened to be the best job I have ever had. I was forced to quit my job at the dog kennel in exchange for eating disorder treatment. Now, I can proudly say I am back at with the doggies and thanking God for it every minute I am there. Money and puppies all in one? Yes please!
Current Excitement: I can't wait for next weekend because there is a huge country spring fling at school! Being the country music obsessed girl that I am, you can assume I am beyond ecstatic for this night. I can assure you there will be plenty of pictures to come. :)
Current Mood: At peace. I have been home alone all weekend, and the silence within the house has just put me in an incredibly relaxed state. I could definitely get used to this.
Current Link: This is my favorite Ted Talk. Lizzie is an incredibly inspirational, beautiful, humorous girl. She has overcome so much and made such a difference in so many people's lives. I am also currently (haha, "currently") reading her book. If you haven't heard of her, please check her out!
I am going to start doing these "currently" posts every month, as I really like the idea and think it's a good way to reflect on the little things in life every once in a while. And in the meantime, be sure to check out Julia and Amanda's blogs! They are both so well written, inspiring, and always entertaining.
