taking stock.
and just like that, it's nearly been a month between drinks! despite having blogging on the mind, i've been neglecting to actually sit down, with my laptop and get to typing. and then of course, the longer it went, the harder it seemed to get back to it.
but i just couldn't let it go any longer!
a little taking stock action, as a means to catch y'all up on where we're at, and to get me back in the game he he!
Making : lots of things, since i last posted, there's been a couple of milos off the needles, and a cardigan for myself. not a lot of sock knitting though so i'm running a bit behind on my pair of socks a month plan...
Cooking : some pretty terribly boring meals to be honest. even a truly terrible one. off my game in more than one area apparently he he!
Drinking : too much soft drinks. back on that bandwagon unfortunately. time for some cold-turkey time.
Reading : blog posts! for the first time in a while, my blog reader is empty! tempted to add a few new blogs to the reel... any recommendations?
Trawling : the real estate app. my heart loves a fixer-upper.
Wanting : to get motivated, set up some routines... my brain is instantly rebelling against any boundaries i give myself at the moment though. good on ya brain.
Looking : around at my trashed lounge room. how does a 9 month old make so much mess? he's not even crawling yet!! Deciding : what to do with the afternoon. need to go op-shopping for some curtains for ag's room and have some friends i want to catch up with too. can we do it all? we shall see he he!
Wishing : time would just slow down a bit! we're midway through june already!
Enjoying : baby giggles. how can you not?
Waiting : for said giggly baby to wake up. hopefully after a bit more of this post gets written he he.
Liking : this chilly weather. the fire is going, we can rug up in woollies, so cosy!
Wondering : what we should have for dinner. probably need to add grocery shopping to that list of things i want to do this afternoon!
Loving : re-watching game of thrones before the new season starts next month. i do it every year as my memory is terrible!
Pondering : lunch options. vegemite and avocado on toast is on high rotation at the moment.
Listening : to a kookaburra outside.
Considering : a wee road trip tomorrow.
Buying : things to keep us cozy. hopefully some curtains to keep the warmth in for ag's bedroom. and a door snake to keep the drafts out from the front door!
Watching : the fifth season of orange is the new black. taking it a lot slower than in previous years... hard to binge watch shows with a baby around!
Hoping : the kookaburra doesn't wake the baby. little ag is not a happy chappy when he gets woken up from naps!
Marvelling : at just how quickly the days disappear. what have i even got done today?
Cringing : at my inability to get my shit together some days.
Needing : to clean the oven. it's terrible!
Questioning : what it means to be feminine...
Smelling : not much at all. blissful when you're thinking about poo many many hours of the day.
Wearing : my new cardigan constantly. oh and handknit socks. all day every day.
Noticing : birds. specifically rosellas on my drive home this morning. they were hiding all over the place!
Knowing : that things will work out eventually.
Thinking : about bulk shopping. what we could use and such.
Opening : the fire door to put more wood on.
Closing : some of the 8 trillion tabs open on my phone.
Feeling : the cold a lot more already this winter. last winter i was pregnant, and although it seemed cold at the time, maybe it kept me cosier than i realised!
Celebrating : my little bro getting a new job. well we did over the weekend anyway he he.
Pretending : i haven't deleted a couple of these prompts... it might have happened, oops!
thanks pip for the little list to get me back into this blogging lark! now to keep it up!
It was lovely catching up with you today. It looks and sounds as if you have been busy. I love the knitted things that you showed us photos of. It does look as if your needles haven't stopped during this month away from blogland! I hope to see you back here again soon.

Love the point form comments. Life's a bit erratic like that sometimes, where you are doing things but there still seems much you have to do. I love the baby giggles and noticing birds thoughts.
