Listening to: The sweet sound of silence. I seem to have won the battle over the loud (and terrible) music that was previously played poolside every day.
Reading: The Sea, John Banville. Super Sad True Love Story, Gary Shteyngart. A Visit from the Goon Squad, Jennifer Egan.
Watching: In the Mood for Love (aka, that movie my mom thinks is stupid and boring). Old episodes of the show Archer. We finally broke down and subscribed to Netflix.
Eating: Spinach and fruit smoothies in the morning. Lemon pasta with shrimp (J's a fan). Liver. Bone marrow from one of the local ranchers (J's not touching this one).
Loving: Our proximity to Trader Joe's. Being able to write and work by the pool, in shorts and a t-shirt. Going to the gym on my "lunch break." Coconut milk (Native Forest brand = No BPA in the can). Wimbledon on ESPN.
Missing: Travel (foreign travel, to be specific). The mountains. Good sushi.
Thinking about: Balance. Balancing work with hypothetical kids. Balancing the desire to travel abroad versus the need to be "responsible", visit family, and settle down in one place. Balancing the need to take care of and indulge oneself from time to time versus the need to establish financial security.
Excited for: Our friend SC's wedding in North Carolina this weekend and the chance to catch up with dear friends.
