Sunday Funday is here again!  Friday night my parents came to check out the house (they haven’t seen it in a while) and we had a fun dinner and drinks, and yesterday we went to cheer on the Wolfpack in Raleigh!  Today, we are in Charlotte because Charles is cashing in my Christmas gift to him…the Mario Andretti Racing Experience.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)

Currently:

Reading– All of the warnings and caveats in the paperwork for today.  Yikes!!

Listening– To the sound of the race track.

Thinking– About this corny joke I saw this week that I actually think is pretty hilarious.

Wishing– We could move into our house already!! I’ll keep dreaming…

Hoping– To make a stop in Salisbury on our way home to check out my brother and his girlfriend’s new place.  (You can see her guest post from last week here.)

Wearing– Jeans and a tee–the old standard.

Loving– That pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks!  My favorite!!!

Wanting– This Michelle Armas painting that I’ve been in love with for a few years now.  I think it would look great over a mantle in one of the bedrooms or in the formal living room (with the pink couch!).

Needing– Some cute and comfy new flats.  My one really comfy pair is completely worn out.  But it’s not just for fashion; unfortunately it’s also for function.  Turns out I have to have surgery on my ankle next week…nothing serious, just an old injury that never healed properly.  So I will be in a cast for most of October and will need some good flats.  (Or should I say “flat” if it’s just one foot?)  Right now I’m loving these, these, and these.  Also, any creative ideas for wearing tights and/or skinny jeans with a cast? I live in tights/skinnies and boots in the Fall, so I’m trying to come up with a solution for that.

Feeling– Nervous and excited for this experience for Charles.  I’m pretty sure I’m looking like this right now:

Clicking– Through these desktop wallpapers at Design Love Fest.  There are so many good ones!  I think I’ll be changing up my background on the reg.  Check out what I have going on right now!

What have you been up to this weekend?

Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is going well.  We have tomorrow, Labor Day, off so we are at the beach right now.  Which means I’m keeping this post short and sweet.  I wrote my Sunday Currently a little ahead of time since I knew I wouldn’t be here, so forgive me if it’s not quite up to date.  Better early than never, right?  (I don’t think that’s how it goes.)

Currently:

Writing– Nothing! I’m on vacation!!

Listening– To what I’m sure will be the chatter of some of my favorite people…and the ocean.

Thinking– How thankful I am that I have one more day off this weekend!

Wishing– All things fabulous for little Harper Anne.  She is absolutely gorgeous!  We love her (and her family) so much already!!

Hoping– That cooler weather is coming soon.  I know, I know…I’m Fall-obsessed.

Loving– These tan booties.  Thanks to Chassity from Look Linger Love for turning me on to them!  Now if only I could afford them! ;)

Wanting– This set of tortoise shell bar tools from Ralph Lauren.  And while we’re at it, I’ll take these steak knives too!

Clicking– These Craigslist keywords and tips for searching for antique furniture.  I’m also loving Emily Henderson’s “Trolling Craigslist” posts…I hope she’ll do one in NC soon!!

You can get my first two editions of The Sunday Currently here and here.  Be sure to check out Lauren’s page at http://siddathornton.blogspot.com/, where you can read about what she’s up to, as well as lots of other bloggers.  Have a nice short week!!

Official countdown to Fall: 3 weeks! :)

PS- if you’re sad about the weekend almost being over, check out my favorite Buzzfeed of all time.  An oldie but a goodie!

Happy Sunday!  How’s your weekend going?  Ours has been fairly relaxed, which was a welcome change from our usual completely full weekends!  We did get some house and garden work done yesterday–more on that coming this week!  But for now, here’s what I’m up to:

Currently:

Reading– This inspiring post by Jess Lively.  To say that I don’t want lots of “icing” in our new house would be a lie, but I will do my best to remember that the cake, or substance, is far more important.

Writing– A grocery list.  I’ve been thinking about starting to do some meal planning each Sunday to get ready for the week.  What do you think?  Worth the effort?

Listening– To the local news in the background.  I usually try to avoid local news…it’s so depressing!

Thinking– About options for reupholstering the vintage settee I picked up a while back.  It’s really unfortunate that I have such expensive taste.  Because, of course, I am head over heels in love with this little number:

Wishing– The weather would stay like this for a while!

Hoping– This week goes by fast so we can finally enjoy some Wolfpack football on Saturday!!!  GO PACK!

Wearing– My Sunday best…headed to church.

Loving– It’s the Little Things Coffee Talk.  It’s hilariously clever and totally feeds into my guilty pleasure of watching Bravo!

Wanting– This rug for the office.  Or this one.  (Keep dreaming, right? I should probably add “winning the lottery” to my list of wants!)

Needing– A pedicure.

Feeling– Sore after our yard work yesterday!

Clicking– This tutorial for an adorable new way to wear a scarf.  Is it Fall yet?
