Reading: Right now, I'm reading Dream School by Blake Nelson. It's the sequel to Girl, my most favorite book ever during high school. Seriously, I must've read that book no less than 549 times. In fact, I loved it so much that I even owned and wore out the movie remake of it on VHS. It was awful and did the book absolutely no justice, but I didn't care because I loved the story that much. I'm not very far into this follow-up, but so far, so good.

Watching: The hubs and I recently watched the first season of Sherlock on Netflix. It's not my usual cup of tea, but it was actually pretty interesting. The second season isn't available to view just yet (at least not through Netflix), but when it is, I'm sure we'll continue watching.

Oh, and Teen Mom, of course. I know I should be over shows like this, being that I'm 2 months shy of 30, but I just can't help myself.

Anticipating: What I'm looking forward to the most right now is being able to walk again. I really have no idea how long this may be, as my break was pretty bad, but I'm hoping soon. I truly had no idea what a big deal it is to break your ankle. That thing is important, yo!

Laughing about: If we're being honest, I'd have to admit that there's not much I'm laughing about these days. I'm having a really hard time with not being able to drive, go outside, or do pretty much anything at all besides sit on the couch. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is only temporary.

Listening to: Two albums that I'm really enjoying right now are The Only Place by Best Coast and Boys & Girls by Alabama Shakes. I highly recommend you check 'em out. They're both so, so good.

Eating: Since the cooking's become Dan's responsibility for the time being, we've been eating a lot of food from Costco. Also, as I mentioned awhile back, I started supplementing one meal a day (usually lunch) with a protein shake (specifically, this one). This new diet must be working because when I stepped on the scale yesterday, I was down FOUR pounds from my last appointment with the dietician. And this was with my cast on (which is the largest thing ever, btw), so I'd like to think I've lost even than this!

Working on: I'm currently working on two things. The first would be finding the positive in things. Yes, I know it could be worse, but right now I'm having trouble seeing the plus side to all of this. It's been quite a struggle. I just want to be able to play outside with my kids, but since it's not a possibility right now, I'm trying to find other ways to keep them (and myself) entertained. Suggestions are welcome. The second thing I'm working on is learning to be okay with a mess. There's no two ways about it, I'm a neat freak by nature. I've always known this about myself, but it wasn't until recently that I realized just how bad it's gotten. I literally find myself getting anxious about things like the countertops being dirty/cluttered or the laundry piling up (hence the photo up top). But you know what? I can't do anything about it, and I'm (slowly) coming to terms with this fact. The world isn't going to end because there is spilled milk on the floor that can't immediately be cleaned up. I'm just going to have to take a deep breath and GET OVER IT.

I think this about sums up the recent happening in my world. What have you guys been up to lately? Anything I should be reading/watching/listening to that I'm not? Do tell.
