I am linking up with my sweet friends Randalin and Wendy today for a list of what 

is currently happening in my little world.  

Currently...

Cooking a sweet corn, home grown tomato, zucchini, and black bean skillet over 

wild rice.  This is by far my favorite time of year for cooking thanks to the over abundance 

of fresh produce peeking around every corner.  Between our own personal harvest and 

the generosity of neighbors and some of my patients, we have been enjoying home 

grown, organic fruits and veggies at every meal.  To be able to stock up on such 

treasures from your own backyard, your meal laced with the dirt of the earth you call 

your own, is truly a gift to me.

Wearing cut off jean shorts, Shawn's white tshirt, and bare feet.  

You know: the usual.

Wanting to get started on redoing the front of our house and adding our very 

own interpretation of curb appeal.  I've always wanted a big, bright red front door with 

black shutters, two big rocking chairs and hanging ferns.  It's a project I've been itching 

to get started on but know it's wise to wait and save a little money first.  One of the 

biggest lessons that Shawn and I have learned through buying and renovating our home 

is to take it slow, be realistic about our budget, and prioritize carefully.  The

renovation project for the front of our home is cosmetic, it is not a necessity.  Therefore, 

we will tie up the important projects for now, like a new air conditioning unit and 

updating the electrical work in the living room, while simultaneously squirreling more 

money away in our savings.  By the end of summer, that red front door just might

 be a reality.

Listening to "Blood" by The Middle East.  In the soundtrack of my life, this song 

is playing as Shawn and I hold hands and watch the girls playing on the front lawn.  It's 

for those nostalgic moments that make you want to jump on a tire swing and 

count the stars.

Watching "America's Got Talent", "The Bachelorette",  "RHOC", "Mad Men", 

"Nurse Jackie", "Game of Thrones", "Real Time With Bill Maher", "So You Think You

 Can Dance". Have I mentioned my affinity for cheesy reality shoes and 

mindless entertainment?
