drinking: Coffee. By the bucketful (I now sometimes, shamelessly, bring two travel mugs with me to work).
reading: Thanks to the recommendation of one of Alice's lovely sitters, I've taken to She Reads Truth and am enjoying the Hospitality series. Basically, it is a site of thoughtful, simple, quick-read devotional plans. Now, instead of trolling Facebook while I pump at work, I read an entry or two. More edifying, more challenging, less feeling stalker-ish. Win-win-win.
wanting: To be content! I'm trying not to want anything, honestly, though I was very much looking forward to the new purse my mom gave me for my birthday. Also, I could really use a haircut, but haircuts cost money and I've been assured my hair does not look as dopey as I feel it does.
watching: Parenthood. So good. I know I'm way behind the bandwagon on this one, what with it being Season SIX, but I just started watching this while I was out on maternity leave in the Spring and I hardly make it through an episode without crying.
listening: Mostly Johnny Cash and Mumford & Sons last week.
eating: Tasteeos with Alice (Market Basket brand Cheerios- hah!).
smelling: Wood fire smoke from our neighbors' chimneys. I love it.
wishing: That I could be with Alice all the time. She's so great.
enjoying: Walks in the woods. We live in such a beautiful area with so many trails where the pups can wander off leash and you can go for miles without seeing another soul.
loving: Our kitchen. Sitting at the table together, Alice in her highchair, the space warm from the stove, the house smelling of dinner.
hoping: That peace and contentment [continue to] prevail over anxiety and fear.
needing: To get all these Christmas gifts finished in time! Knitting takes FOREVER! Thank goodness that Linnie spent a Saturday helping me finish sewing projects.
feeling: Quiet. Life has taken an altogether different pace and it feels quiet. And good.
wearing: Linnie just gave me her Uniqlo jacket and I LOVE IT (similar to this one).
bookmarking: For the next time we end up in the Netherlands.
