I found this through Laura and kind of loved the idea. So lets not commit to anything too over-eagerly, but my thought process is that if I like doing this then I might attempt it monthly. But don’t expect it, just be pleasantly surprised if I follow through. Deal?

So just in case you were wondering what goes on inside my head (its a pretty weird and yet boring place):

• Making : my chocolate cupcakes with the intent of sharing (but mainly just for eating)
• Cooking : vegetarian dishes for my new flatmates and realising that trying new things is fun and not scary.
• Drinking : red wine, and too much of it. I would blame stress but honestly I just really like red wine and i’m not even a little bit sorry.
• Reading: Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham, and loving it
• Wanting: to buy all the kittens and fill my house with cat cuddles
• Looking: for my brow zings. Everyday without it makes me that much more resentful that I inherited my parent’s lack of “knowing where all my sh*t is”
• Deciding: what I will try and kindly manipulate my family into buying me for Christmas
• Wishing: my health would improve without me having to put in any effort. Lazy, I know.
• Enjoying: having full two whole day long weekends. I have always worked Sundays so this is a relatively new concept.
• Waiting: for our gardener to email me. ITS BEEN AGES SINCE I ASKED YOU FOR THE BILL.
• Liking: getting new responsibilities at work (I am always up for a challenge…until it gets to challenging and then I just freak out)
• Wondering: how my flowers have stayed alive so long when my other ones died in 3 days. How does that work? (I’m not a gardener, not even a flower enthusiast, just pleasantly confused)
• Loving: the new Alt-J album. Like, a lot. Like on repeat over and over. Too much.
• Pondering: over what direction I want my blog to take, if any direction at all
• Considering: signing up for A Beautiful Mess’ stationary subscription (Happy Mail), because its not that expensive and I know it will be totally amazing 
• Watching: outlander on Lightbox, as well as rewatching The Office US because as much as I adore the UK one, Jim and Pam have my heart.
  
• Hoping: that I can continue to try and make positive changes in my life and the way I live it.
• Marvelling: at my sister and gorgeous baby niece. 
• Needing: to meditate daily, send any useful links my way!
• Smelling: the spring flowers in our garden, they give me hay fever but I don’t even mind that much
• Wearing: printed leggings. So comfortable, like a bowl of my favourite pasta (which is why I have to wear them in the first place)
• Following: too many people to keep up to date
• Noticing: a number of incredible people around me who inspire, support and are just generally amazing
• Knowing: that I need to change my attitude about a few things (easier said then done)
• Thinking: about what my priorities are for the next 5 years
• Admiring: my husbands photograhpy
• Sorting: out the new flat 
• Buying: the new edition of Frankie magazine
• Getting: bills that I really wish I could just ignore
• Bookmarking: these gorgeous desktop backgrounds from DesignLoveFest
• Disliking: the fact that it has already been 4 months since our Europe trip. I miss a different city each day
• Giggling: because my new flatmates are hilariously inappropriate
• Feeling: optimistic for what’s ahead
• Snacking: on this delicious and easy to make cornflake/mars bar slice from one of my favourite food blogs
• Coveting: all the things but mainly this
• Wishing: for more time in the day
• Helping: not as many people as normal. Which feels weird but is helping me be in a healthier place
• Hearing: birds in the morning, they are super noisy by the new bedroom! But I don’t mind too much

Thanks to Pip who has the blank list right here, all ready for you to go and take stock of your current life state!

Hope November is full of good things, and not too much early Christmas music (unless you love that in which case I wish you all the Christmas music in the world) x
