Reading

Justin Bieber : First Step to Forever, My Story - Justin did this book pretty early on in his career. It was a good read, but if you've watched the movie Never Say Never, you already know a lot about his early days.
The Nest - a solid summer read. It was not quite as good to me as it was hyped up to be, but I did enjoy it.
Travels With Bertha: two years exploring Australia in a 1978 Ford station wagon- This book was full of déjà vu for me. I wished it were longer as a lot of the places in Australia that were visited by the author were places I saw as well. I couldn't get over that he only wrote a few pages on the place that was in my opinion one of the most interesting in all of the country - Magnetic Island. One thing he said that really stuck with me is how hard it is to say goodbye to the people you meet when traveling, as most of them you'll never see again. They say that if you travel with someone for a week, it feels like a month, which is totally true. I was beyond lucky to have traveled with  the best people. Even if we don't keep in touch often, I think of them all the time.
I'm also in the midst of fall fashion issues. The best time of year for magazines!

Writing

Packing list for Toronto. Blog posts once a week for now. 

Clicking

I'm finding new channels to subscribe to on You Tube. Fall fashion is on the horizon so ive been checking out my usual fashion sites. 

Watching

Like the rest of Canada, I tuned into TheTragically Hip's last concert last night which was so good and so sad. I grew up with The Hip and they were considered my favorite band for a good three years from 16- 19 or so. I cried at least five times during the show. Bachelor in Paradise has been on a lot in our house #teamnick. I watched some Olympic action too. I loved cheering on our local lady- Ellie Black in gymnastics.

Eating and Drinking

Too much! Summer will do that to me! We had some snacks and drinks on the clubhouse deck at the golf course last night. I've also been to the Stubbirn Goat beer garden on the waterfront a few times in the past few weeks- so good! We had dinner at La Frasca last week and dessert at Sweet Hereafter, both are always excellent.

Seeing

A bunch of stuff set aside for Toronto. I'll be flying with only a carry on for the first time. I like a good challenge. 

Hearing

The washing machine going. We're on time of day savings for power so we try to get laundry done on the weekend.

Smelling

The sunscreen I put on today. 

Wearing

Banana Republic shorts, a Gap tee, no shoes, 

Feeling

Tired! We spent a good part of the day outside and the sun makes me sleepy!

Anticipating 

Getting away for a long weekend in Toronto. This week I will be seeing both of my best friends (separately). It's so rare that I see even one of them - two is epic!

The Sunday Currently: 11/10/13

Currently . . . 

Reading: Actually more like devouring, Revenge Wears Prada, the long long long awaited sequel to The Devil Wears Prada which is one of my very favorite books (and movies). These novels are chick-lit at its prime. Perfect for a long weekend!

Writing: Lists of things I need to pick up for my Stella and Dot trunk show this Friday evening. 

Listening: Right now, to The Social playing in the background (Justin Bieber went to a brothel...). There are many of these backed up on my DVR. I'm also in love with the Songza playlist called Every Summer Dance Party.

Thinking: That perhaps my timing for the Stella and Dot party was a bit off considering this is probably the busiest week EVER in our household and I currently have massive piles of office supplies all over the living room. Maybe the Costco size toilet tissue packs can be used for extra seating! R is opening his dental clinic -check out the website for Timberlea Dental Centre.

Smelling: A perfume sample that I rubbed on my wrists this morning- Guess Girl. I like it!

Wishing: For things to slow down at work, I love my job, but things have been really really over-the-top busy. If I could have a slow week to catch up, that would be amazing.

Hoping: That I make it back to eat at The Stubborn Goat soon! R and I went last night for a much needed chilled-out meal with another couple and it was amazing! The food, menu, service, and atmosphere was perfect. I had the mushroom pizza and it was so yummy. The truffle salt fries are scrumptious too! 

Wearing: Jeggings, a tunic, a belt, a fun scarf (thanks Emma!), and casual jewelry.

Loving: That I finally bought myself a DSLR camera! I picked up a Canon Rebel T3 about an hour ago and I'm going to play with it tomorrow. Perhaps this is the start of a great hobby!

Wanting: To catch up on Grey's Anatomy. Maybe I'll do that tonight! I also want this striped tunic that would look great with my new faux leather leggings.

Zara

Needing: To fix the state of my house... before Friday! Here's hoping tomorrow is a productive day considering there are no stores open and therefore a perfect day to organize and clean.

Feeling: Excited about my new camera!

Clicking: Here's a shout-out to one of my favorite blogs - Kendi Everyday. I blog-stalk her constantly. She's got great style, and her writing is so witty. 

Check out the other Sunday Currently posts at the blog siddathornton.

Don't forget to observe a moment of silence tomorrow in respect for our veterans. 

XOXO
