August Currently

Can you believe it's August? I'm officially counting down now! As of today, 11 days of "summer" left! I will go back a couple of days early but in the meantime....I'm linking up with Oh Boy Fourth Grade for the monthly Currently....
 
Listening: The T.V. is turned on in the background with re-runs of "The Big Bang Theory." I love that show!
 
Loving: I am loving all the family get togethers we've had this summer!  Aside from barbecues and pool parties, I've also attended wedding and baby showers.  Those are the times when you see folks you haven't seen in a while.  It's nice seeing everyone and catching up.  (It also makes you feel old when your nieces are getting married and having children of their own! )
 
Thinking: I need a haircut and color!  At the beginning of the summer I went in and had my hair "chopped" off!  I don't have very long hair, but these hot days drive me insane!  The shorter, the cooler!  It's been weeks, and my "natural gray highlights" are staring at me in the mirror!  Where did all these gray strands of hair come from? I mean really, how do they get there? It's not like one or two slowly grow out, it's a colony of gray hair...poof...and it just happens overnight, literally!
 
Wanting: Oh, I love COFFEE! I would love a venti coffee Frappuccino from Starbucks right about now! I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow, otherwise, I'll be up past midnight, and I love my sleep!

Needing: I need to pack for my last summer trip.  We head out Tuesday, but I'm barely on wash load number 3! I dislike packing, but I'm glad we'll get a quick mommy and daddy trip in before my summer comes to an end!

B2S RAK: I think this is a really great idea!  Two years ago, I baked cupcakes for my entire school family during Teacher Appreciation Week.  I made chocolate w/ chocolate icing, devils' food cake w/ cream cheese icing, strawberry cake w/ strawberry icing, and lemon cake w/ lemon icing!  I'm not a big cook nor baker, but they turned out great!- This year I can start of the year with a sweet treat for my school family! I'm blessed to work with a wonderful group of people!

Don't forget to hop on over to Oh Boy Fourth Grade to link up your August Currently!

  1. I'm a coffee fanatic too! I had a venti caramel light Frappuccino from Starbucks this afternoon. Those treat receipts are going to seriously impact my starbucks card balance!

    1. Thanks for stopping by. I even have to stock up on the 4 packs of Starbucks coffees you can get at the grocery stores!- It's definitely a much needed staple! LOL!

  2. I've never met a teacher who didn't like coffee. :) My favorite at Starbucks is Iced White Chocolate Mocha, sometimes with the whipped cream and everything. I know exactly what you mean about grays. Not fun! Wishing you a lovely school year.

  3. Hello! I love your logo - the cart and green are adorable! :) I completely agree about having the flexibility and time to visit with family during the summer. I definitely miss that during the school year. And could also use some coffee right now! I'm a big frappuccino fan, which I suppose is more sugar and flavoring than coffee... but it's good nonetheless! :)
