January Currently

WOW! It's been a while since I've linked up for Farley's Currently! Without further ado, here's what's going on in my life today...

LISTENING - I upgraded to Pandora One a couple of months ago. Best decision. I play music literally all day long in my classroom, and now I don't have to listen to commercials, and I don't have to get up to say "Yes, I'm still listening" as often. The Lumineers station is one of my favorites while getting work done... Very chill.

LOVING - I told myself that 2014 is going to be a good year for running.  I need to go more often, and I need to force myself to go for longer distances.  Today, I did a 5K around the neighborhood in 24:51. Not GREAT, but it's the best I've done.

THINKING - Seriously, I go back to school tomorrow and I have no clue what I'm doing. I should get on that. But here I sit.

WANTING - My wife has been gluten free for quite some time now, so I also told myself that 2014 would be the year of no gluten. I don't know if I'll make it a year or not, but lord almighty all I want right now is a grilled cheese sandwich........

NEEDING - I have been searching TPT and Pinterest all morning looking for some New Years activities to do with my firsties the next 2 days, and I'm coming up empty handed. Guess I'll be getting creative!

MEMORY - My great grandfather worked at Wendell August Forge a gazillion years ago. My parents grew up in western PA and moved back a few years ago. The original factory burned down a few years ago, but the new one is up and running with tours so we decided to check it out. Not only did we find a picture of my great grandfather (whom I'm named after) outside the factory in 1932, but I also got to pound my own little design in aluminum... It was a little surreal, but a great memory for sure.
