Listening to... a lot of Barenaked Ladies these days! After their reunion and induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the Junos a few weeks ago, it prompted me to dig out my old BNL albums from high school. I'd forgotten how much I love them.
Eating... Easter Eggs. And chips. The post-Easter junk fest continues!! My favourite chocolate this year has been the Eggies in cookies & cream flavour. Last night, I wanted comfort food because it was dreary out, and I was craving macaroni, but I wanted to try something a bit different than my usual macaroni, cheese, and tomato casserole that I make. I ended up making this recipe and it was sooo good! Creamy and cheesy and delicious. The only change I made was to use regular diced tomatoes instead of stewed tomatoes. (maybe they're the same thing? not sure.) Tonight, I'm planning to make French Onion Grilled Cheese sandwiches for supper. My friend Sharon made it once for supper a few years ago and I loved it, but I've never tried making it myself. Another dreary night for comfort food, sounds about right to me!
Drinking... lots and lots of water. I had kind of fallen off the "drinking tons of water" wagon lately, and I've been trying to get back at it. My chapped and dry lips are suffering.
Feeling... a little stressed, and I have no idea why. For the past few days, I've been noticing a soreness in my jaw, and I think it's from tensing it. Clenching my jaw all the time. I have NEVER had this problem before, and it's annoying the hell out of me. I feel like I don't even know how to have a relaxed jaw anymore. ugh.
Reading... I just finished reading "Tessa & Scott", the book that my beloved ice dancers put out after their first gold medal Olympics in Vancouver in 2010. Tonight, I'll be starting the next book club book on my list to read, "A Kind Worth Killing" by Peter Swanson. I'm anxious to see if it's a book I'm going to enjoy or not.
Watching... I'm back into Scandal. I caught up on Suits, and decided to keep on with the "catching up". I'm in the final season, and I'm not really liking this Olivia Pope that we've got going on right now. She's a little too dark for my liking. I've already made up my mind that once I'm done Scandal, I'm going to finish up The Mindy Project. Then I'll be ready for something new.
Wanting... my new East Coast Lifestyle sweater to get here! My friend Lindsay came home from her recent trip to Nova Scotia sporting a sweater that I fell in love with. I found it online (in different colours), but with taxes and shipping, it cost wayyyyy more than I was willing to spend on one sweater, no matter how much I loved it. But then I got an email about a 30% Off Easter Sale on their website, which meant that basically the shipping and taxes were deducted. Deal! I can't wait for it to arrive in the mail!!

Needing... some new spring/summer clothes, and a new pair of running shoes. I finished cleaning out my closet over the Easter weekend, and I'm a little alarmed at how little I have in spring and summer clothing that fits me. Damn weight gain.
Missing... Jamie from Outlander! I talked a little bit about all the shows I'm watching or plan to watch, but man, that's what I REALLY want to watch! I wish season 3 of Outlander would hit Netflix soon!! I need me some Jamie.
Enjoying... the fact that I get one more unexpected long weekend. Usually after Easter, I start back to work full-time again, and I was totally prepared to do so, but the guys in the office yesterday suggested I take one more Friday off. The weather is kind of wintry this week, and the office is still on the quieter side, so they told me to enjoy one more Friday off and we'll hit the ground running next Monday. It was a pleasant surprise!

I just finished a book I thought would be good for your book club. Its called The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty. Really engaging, and a bit creepy, which I normally don't like. Really well written.
I agree, time for a dose of Jaime! I didn't know it was on Netflix.
I hope you enjoyed what had better be the last snowstorm of the season!
Maybe you have sympathy stress for me :). I'm stressed.
