Taking Stock

This is my third 'Taking Stock' post but the first of 2014!  You can find the first 'Taking Stock' here, and the second here.  The original 'Taking Stock' idea was posted on the blog Meet Me at Mikes.

Making: time to spend with my friends

Cooking: brownies 

Drinking: Diet Coke and coffee by the bucket load

Reading: 'Our Movie Year' by Harvey Pekar

Wanting: the rain to stop

Looking: for cultural experiences to grasp!

Playing: Zelda: Skyward Sword

Deciding: on where to have a holiday this year

Wishing: the weekend would come around quicker

Enjoying: spending time with MozzyMr

Waiting: to find out if I can go on adventures this year....

Liking: netball, I have just started so lets see how it goes :)

Wondering: if The Drowned Man will be extended further into 2014...

Loving: snatching time on the allotment between rain showers

Pondering: Graphic Novels as an art form, I have to say I'm very pro

Considering: which seeds to plant this year

Watching: Series 3 of Sherlock on repeat and Call the Midwife

Hoping: my friend who is going through a bad time at the moment catches a break

Marvelling: at how the weekends are filling up already, the diary is getting pretty full!

Needing: a big fat lie in on Saturday morning

Smelling: the coffee

Wearing: midi skirts, there is still time to shed the pounds before summer!

Following: my own path and not worrying about how people perceive me

Noticing: signs of spring popping up

Knowing: things are on the up

Thinking: about what to have for dinner

Feeling: on top of things

Admiring: Harvey Pekar's work

Buying: or at least trying to find a decent pair of jeans

Getting: together bits and bobs to donate to the charity shop

Bookmarking: articles about San Diego

Opening: parcels with some cheeky January sale purchases within...

Giggling: how daft things can seem when you stop worrying about them.

Watching: Gogglebox on Channel 4

Hoping: the person I have for secret santa likes their present...

Marvelling: at how Mewster isn't bothered about snoozing in front of a fire??

Needing: slippers and hot water bottles, dang this house is cold

Smelling: mulled cider, mmmmmm

Wearing: PJs whenever I can, they're just so cosy!

Following: The Drowned Man content discussion on Facebook (don't judge me)

Noticing: how much rubbish is sold at Christmas
