Currently (2)

I cannot believe that it's been over a year since I've posted another "Currently" post. I really need to start posting on a more regular basis, that way I can look back on my life and know exactly what was going on at that time. So, for those of you that are interested, here is what is currently going on in my life!

       
















          Currently:

• Reading: Hard Times by Charles Dickens. I haven't read as many classics as I believe that I should have, so I decided to pick one up that last time that I was at Barnes and Noble. I'm just over 100 pages in and I'm really liking it so far. I knew that picking up another Dickens novel was a good idea, since I read Oliver Twist years ago and loved it so much. Next to Jane Austen, I'd say that Dickens is one of my all-time favorite classic novelists.
• Watching: Lately, I've been going back and forth between a few shows on Netflix, "Blue Bloods", "The Originals", and "Lipstick Jungle".
• Studying: English Literature.
• Loving: Practicing for my next pole dancing competition. This time around, I am doing an entertainment piece and I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's a little bit more stressful this time because I've had much less time to practice and I signed up for a level up. But I did it because I love a challenge. I get to be silly with this performance, which is more of my style anyway. So I'm hoping that next month, I'll do even better than I did in October!
• Writing: I am trying to write more blog posts as I am astounded by the lack of posts that I put up last year. I am toying around with some new story ideas as well.
• Feeling: Anxious. Very soon, Kris is going to be gone for a little while on a business trip and I hate the idea of being without him for so long. I know that I'll be fine, I just like it better when he's around. But I'm going to try to use the time that he's away to be productive and to focus on myself.
• Excited for: My pole competition!

I cannot believe that it's been so long since I've posted! I really dropped the ball and I'm going to try to make sure that this doesn't continue to happen! I've been pretty busy lately, so I thought I'd update you guys on what's currently going on in my life!

       Currently:

• Reading: The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks- I was recently given this book as a gift. I used to read a lot of Nicholas Sparks novels but haven't for a while. So it was very fun to get back into his writing.
• Watching: Heartland and Beverly Hills 90210. Heartland was recommended to me by a friend. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not but I've really enjoyed it so far. I just started season 4, so I'm almost halfway through the show. I started Beverly Hills 90210 because I knew that my mom used to like the show a lot, so I wanted to see whether or not I'd like it, too. So once I saw it on Hulu, I jumped right into it. I'm only on season 2.
• Studying: British Literature. I just started my new course today.
• Loving: Trying new things and meeting new people. I went to my first sewing class today and it was very interesting. I've always wanted to learn to sew but never got around to it. I'm glad that I finally found the time! I also have been going on sunrise walks with some new friends and our dogs. It's been a really great way to get in some exercise and get out of the house. As a bonus, Jax really loves it too!
• Writing: I'm about 6 chapters into a novel that I've started!
• Feeling: Kris has been gone for a little while on business, so I've really been missing him!
• Excited for: Kris' birthday next month!

That's all for now!
