Currently....
I have not done a currently post in ages and I thought now would be a good time to revive them as I have got a lot going on and have been blogging a lot more.

Loving...

Getting more exercise out in the fresh air walking Miss Cat to camp every morning.  It feels great and we enjoy the time together.

Reading...

Hmm, right this second I do not have a book on the go.  Weird.  Usually I have three or four.  I was just contemplating rereading Ready Player One because I saw a teaser photo from the movie this morning and got all excited about it.

Watching...

Cat and I have been binge watching Full House on Netflix because Ace is away and we can watch whatever we want.  We are just at the end of Season Five.

Listening To...

Well, we went to see Iron Maiden on Saturday night and missed seeing Metallica on Sunday so I have been listening to a lot of both outside of work.

Thinking About...

I have an appointment to see a nutritionist next Wednesday and I am curious about what they are going to have to say.

Anticipating...

Fan Expo, a lot of my favourite people coming this year, including one of my favourite cosplayers so I am super, super excited. 

Wishing... 

To get more sleep at night, my insomnia is back with a vengeance and I am not enjoying it at all.  I am not even being productive, mostly I am just laying there thinking stupid things or giving up on attempting to sleep and reading or watching stupid things on the internet. (that is a whole other post)

Making Me Happy...

Getting to spend tons of quality mother/daughter time with Cat while Ace is enjoying swim camp and other adventures in Calgary.  I miss my son but the time with Cat is precious as she is growing fast.

    Your post reminds me that I need to read Ready Player One. I heard they were going to do a movie, so I wanted to read it, but it slipped my mind.

    I hope you found out some good things from the nutritionist. Were they able to help you with your insomnia? I guess you can get a lot more things done with having insomnia. I go to sleep right away, so I couldn't stay up to work on my writing and drawing if I wanted to. I fall asleep with the pencil in my hand.

    Have a great day!

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

Blood, Boobs & Carnage Blogfest

The long weekend caught me a little unprepared today and I forgot that I had scheduled this on so that I would remember to write it, a trick that usually works.  Except that for some reason I thought that the 18th was Tuesday.  :( I did not watch Shoot 'Em Up when it first came out because despite having a passion for these types of movies it looked a little on the ridiculous side.  But somehow it ended up in my dvd collection and I ended up home with a newborn baby unable to sleep EVER. Turned out one colicky baby loved watching (listening to?) violent movies and Shoot 'Em Up quickly became our movie of choice.  At 3am that opening scene is just really awesome. I can't say I have watched it too many times since Cat outgrew her colic but it's on my list of favourite movies in this category for sure. This blog hop is being hosted by  Alex J Cavanaugh  and  Heather M Gardner  and you can find links to the other participants on their blogs.  Go check them
