Just a Minute (May 2010)

On the last day of every month, I take Just a Minute to reflect on what I’m currently up to.

Enjoying… summer vacation. It’s a well-earned vacation, if you ask me!

Cooking… lots and lots. Baking, too. I’ve found an old folder of recipes from a cooking class I took several years ago and I’ve been revisiting the recipes.

Formalizing… my plans for going abroad for a year. My plane tickets need to be purchased soon before the flights are full.

Anticipating… July 1, which is when my summer vacation kicks up a notch and I get to start my many travels!

Reading… wonderful, funny and clever books by Marian Keyes. I just finished up Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married and now I’m onto Last Chance Saloon. Once I finish the complete works of Keyes (I’ve got them all) I’ll start making my way through some of the recommendations I’ve received.

Watching… countless episodes of NCIS, one of my new favorite shows. There’s an all-day marathon today to commemorate Memorial Day!

Missing… my friends from school, as well as college life in general. Home is nice and all, but it’s kind of boring compared to the constant, never-ending excitement of living at school with my closest friends.

Listening… to Mika, whom I’ve recently re-discovered. I’ve always loved his first album Life in Cartoon Motion but I haven’t listened to his new album The Boy Who Knew Too Much until last week and I love it!

Selling… countless books and CDs on Amazon and Half by eBay. (I didn’t go with the original plan of selling on eBay.) I seem to have amassed quite the collection over the years.

Loving… the show Chef vs City on the Food Network, which I’ve only recently discovered. It’s like the Amazing Race but with food-related challenges with some of my favorite Food Network stars! What a win-win situation.
