Taking Stock, Vol. VIII

Making: lots of bread. LOTS of bread. I started a pinterest board (for the foodie in me that doesn't care about "the glutens") full of fancy bread recipes. The boys are quite happy about this latest baking spree.
Cooking: this soup recipe (we left out the ginger). It's real tasty. 
Drinking: kombucha and Lady Grey Tea (my favorite).
Reading: Tale of Two Cities. My, how gory. 
Wanting: SPRING! Yes, yes, it's only January, but sunshine! Bright green! 
Looking: forward to our vacation this summer. Maine and New Hampshire, here we come!
Playing: Celtic music. I've learned that this stuff makes me feel better (which is a good thing to know, since my moods have been out of control recently--at least it seems like it). 
Wasting: ~
Sewing: ~
Wishing: it would either snow enough to sled, or warm up enough to spend some time outside.
Enjoying: exam week. That sounds really weird, but I only had two exams this week, and I finished them yesterday. I didn't have much school to do at all, so instead I've been baking, coloring, listening to Odyssey (I don't think I'll ever stop), and sleeeeeeping.
Waiting: ~
Liking: working out with Mommy. It's fun to work out with someone else, and Mom's been wanting to work out regularly for a while and now I'll be bugging her about it. :)
Wondering: if we'll really get a dog this summer. My brother and Mom have finally convinced Dad that it would be okay. Any breed suggestions? We're thinking a collie.
Loving: my bedroom. I don't have a "theme color", just gray walls and white furniture. That way I can add all the little knick knacks and mementos I want. I have a lot of pretty rocks, cool jars and bottles, postcards, quotes and verses, and dried flowers. It's so cozy and...me. :)
Hoping: we won't have a power outage this weekend because of the snow. Last year (or the year before) we didn't have power for about three days. 
Marveling: ~
Needing: to practice some of these this summer. Dad wants meat pies for his birthday this year.
Smelling: ~
Wearing: socks, which I never wear. It is pretty chilly in my bedroom and downstairs. Our coal stove only keeps about three rooms warm, heheh.
Following: Mewsings London.

Thinking: ~
Feeling: like I need a movie break. Mark and I have been watching Pirates of the Caribbean (ridiculously, stupidly funny), but I think I've had enough of movies for a bit (like, I've been averaging three movies a week for a while).
