It'ssssssss Wednesdayyyyyyyyyyy!! Happy two days away from the weekend (since today doesn't count obviously)! And two days away from the weekend means that we are THREE away (since Friday counts in my book as the start of the weekend) from the return of the NHL season!! Seriously, who isn't excited for that? No one who reads this, I know. Okkkk, some of you may not be excited, but I still love you and am glad that you stopped by. Before I go any further with today's post, I want to take a minute and say something I should have (and meant to but was exhausted while writing and forgot) said in yesterday's post but was thankfully brought up in the comments section. Thanks ladies for getting me back on track! Sarah mentioned that she thinks we've all made strides in the past few months, and I couldn't agree more. None of us is the same as we were a few months ago, and I think it's important for us to recognize the gains, accomplishments, and progressions no matter how small they may seem. Every step forward, regardless of how minute, is a step in the right direction, and I think we should look at where we are now and celebrate how far we've come. We may not be where we expect or think we should be, but we're not where we were or have been, either, and we're all determined to keep going. Methinks that a win for everyone, so I challenge you to find the progressions in your life and share them with yourself and those around you! Another comment that touched me came from more than one of you, saying that you are proud of the progress I've made in the few months that I've been blogging, and all I have to say to that is that YOU are a huge part of that. I've been myself here from day one, and you have all embraced and encouraged me no matter what I've written or been going through...talk about a self-esteem boost that helps me stick to my course on the rough days. I can't even begin to explain what blogging has brought to my life and meant for me, so all I will say is thank you, as insignificant as that may seem. I am where I am today thanks in large part to YOU, and I will never forget that or fail to be thankful for it.

I was going to participate in WIAW, but then I forgot to take pictures of my meals...woopsssssss. They weren't anything too interesting, though (more frozen leftovers courtesy of Joe and my mum...thanks guys! LOVING this whole not needing to cook anything besides breakfast after a long day of creating games like "running baby" [when baby is laying on his back in his gym on the floor, you move his legs very quickly, while saying, "Running baby! Running baby!" very loudly and excitedly] and "dancing baby" [the same as running baby except you move his arms and shoulders and he suddenly resembles Psy from "Gangham Style"]). Instead, I decided to steal a survey from Sam and Amanda, which they both posted on Sunday, and I have been itching to do ever since. Thanks ladies :)

Current Book: Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders by Aimee Liu (recommended to me by Alex and also discussed by Sam). It's been very eye opening, and I'm glad I'm reading it.

Current Music: My music taste is pretty eclectic. I'll listen to anything from America's Top 40 (except Taylor Swift or Justin Beiber...cannot stand either quite honestly) to soft blue grass (Joe's fault...he makes me listen to things by The Civil Wars and Punch Brothers...had to learn to like it or car rides were going to be incredibly boring). Random, but it works for me.

Current Guilty Pleasure: Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries. Not ashamed in the slightest either.

Current Nail Colour: I'm going for the natural look right now (and can't paint my nails to save my life...). February 9 (and a girl date with some old coworkers to get mani/pedis) can't get here soon enough!

Also a good idea.

Current Drink: Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Tea

So delicious...even when it's not Christmas anymore.

Current Food: I just finished dinner...leftover chili topped with Greek yogurt and cheddar cheese and cornbread...and froyo for dessert. They looked like this:

Yum. And I'll finish the last of the chili today for lunch. Let the pouting commence.

Current TV Show: Gossip Girl. I have to finish it before Joe gets home. He refuses to watch it. Boo hiss grrr.

Current Wish List: Joe home for good now, a bigger kitchen, more running clothes, blends lived closer (read: across the hall), Trader Joe's giftcards, unlimited money for races and travel expenses (and travel in general), yoga membership and more videos, monthly massages...to name a few...

Currents Needs: See above list.

Current Triumph: Peanut only yelled at me once yesterday (the bottle wouldn't heat up fast enough),  I invented the "Running Baby" and "Dancing Baby" games, which kept him entertained for 20 minutes, and I'm still not going to run today, even though my hip feels back to normal at the time of writing. Another day of yoga won't hurt in the slightest.

Current Bane of my Existence: This freakin cold, which will not go away. Bah humbug.

Current Celebrity Crush: Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling, and Hugh Jackman.

Yes please.

Current Indulgence: TJ's Crunchy Cookie Butter

And it tastes delicious on everything, including my finger.

Current Blessing: Too many to name, but they include a boy, a family, friends, a Peanut (and the rest of his family), my health (overall), the imminent return of hockey, and my blog...all of which make me very happy and content. I'll be more specific tomorrow.

Current Slang: What's considered slang these days? And why do I get the feeling most of what I say falls under that category? Especially if hashtags are included?

Current Outfit: My smurf pants and one of Joe's t-shirts and hoodies. Comfort to the extreme.

Current Excitement: The Pens/Flyers game on Saturday during which I'll be hanging with some friends!! And my trip to see these girls in 9 days!!

Current Mood: Sleepy. I'm a sleepy girl right now.

Just like this puggy.
