cooking: salads and pastas.

drinking: tea with soy milk.

reading: so many books. This week alone, I finished Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (probably my favorite, for the portrait of a family it painted, not for the parenting theory), The Fortunes, Hot Milk, Everything I Never Told You, Lost in Translation (Hoffman), Voracious, and Better.

watching: the scenes outside.

bookmarking: nothing. I didn't use the computer much this week.
looking: at the New Year's tree I helped decorate.

doing: more sleeping in, and not regretting it one bit.

loving: all the time I get to walk outside, read, and (soon) re-unite with friends.

hoping: it'll be the best year yet.

wanting: the best year ever.

needing: a bit more caffeine.

wearing: PJ's.

smelling: like the banana pancakes I made this morning.
noticing: how quickly time flies.

knowing: there's more time left.

Whew! Long time no post. Things got really hectic after Thanksgiving, but I am happy to report that I am finally on vacation! These days have included tying up loose ends, enjoying the mild winter weather, and stacking up on volumes from the local library.

cooking: salads, avocado toast, and more.

drinking: Earl Gray tea. 

reading: just finished The Martian. What a page-turner! I decided to check out the movie because I think the book is perfect for a movie translation, and I'm curious if the movie made the changes I thought about while reading.

listening: to TOP's collaboration with another band, Ninet, and more. 

watching: Zootopia. It was great visually, but pretty thin in substance, even considering that it's an allegory.

bookmarking: books to read.
looking: outside.

doing: more walking! 

loving: this time off!

wondering: what the next few weeks and months will bring.
hoping: for a great few weeks and months.

wanting: to continue resting.

needing: this time off.

wearing: dark blue shirt, black jeans, and my parka.

smelling: my grandma's cooking.
noticing: a bit more daylight.

knowing: there are good times ahead! 

laughing: at anything funny.

thinking: about what to do for my birthday. I'm thinking of adjusting my usual tradition - more sprinkles this year! 

daydreaming: of traveling.

wishing: for a great 2017. At least it kicks off with my birthday, which is always a good time, and something I really love about being born in early January.

feeling: good.

grateful: for vacation and time spent with family at home.
