Currently Link Up!

Welcome to our first "currently" link-up! Wendy from This Amazing Day and I are both super excited to co-host, but also terribly nervous that we will be the only bloggers to participate. I almost called my mom and asked her to start a fake blog and link-up. If my mom didn't think that sending an email from her blackberry meant she was texting (true story!), it might have been worth a shot. Wendy, any chance your mom blogs?

So here's the deal - each Thursday Wendy and I will open the link-up and we'll leave it open for the whole week. That's so lazy bloggers busy people like me can link up whenever they get around to it (let's face it - if I make it here on Thursday it'll be a miracle). Wendy and I are going to use the same themes and you can use those too, or choose to use your own. This week we're talking about what we're currently:

cooking
wearing
wanting
listening to
watching

So without further ado....

cooking. kale chips! Kale and I had so much fun making these together and he and I both loved snacking on them. Have you ever made kale chips? What do you put on them? Other kale recipes I should know about?

wearing. Dresses and skirts. I found out that #30DaysOfDresses is coming back in June and figured I'd use May as a trial month. Today was actually the first time I wore pants in over two weeks so I'm pretty confident I can make it through the month of June. My problem is that 30 seconds after I publicly commit to something on the internet, I immediately fail. So, in that case, I will not be participating in #30DaysOfDresses and I have no plans to co-host this link-up.

wanting. Nude heels. For those who are new here, my search for a beige trenchcoat haunted my "currently" posts for weeks. About four minutes after I finally found something, my friend Meg (go say hello to her new baby Emmett!!!) sent me a link to a sale at the Gap, which had about 43 beige trenchcoats I wanted. Three minutes later and it was too hot to wear a coat. And now nude heels are the new beige trenchcoat.

listening to. CBC Radio (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). It's all I listen too. Even Kale will pass on a yo gabba gabba tune for the engaging and comforting tone of Matt Galloway in the morning. After spending every lunch hour with Rita Celli and Ontario Today, she unexpectedly announced she was going on maternity leave. I actually cried when she said she was taking a year off. That's normal, right?

watching. Mad Men. Who watches?!? If you watched Sunday's episode, we need to talk. I don't know anyone in real life that watches this show (except Emily @ Hope Squared, but I think she's behind). Extra points if you watch it and then devour every online analysis of the episode immediately after.
