The -ing List

August 7, 2013

The -ing List

Cole

After reading a recent post by Elise Blaha Cripe, I thought I'd give one a whirl.

 

working on getting everything running smoothly on my new computer system.

watching Orange is the New Black with Dan, and loving it.

listening to Ben Harper.

trying to refocus on healthier eating.

preparing for foot surgery in a few weeks. Buh-bye bone spurs.

loving our unseasonably cool, Minnesota August weather. 

revisiting protein smoothies (but with almond milk, instead of yogurt).

continuing to work with my amazing therapist.

wanting to learn Italian.

laughing at this video.

brainstorming some new classes for 2014. 

re-organizing all of my photos into better albums. 

enjoying this final month of summer break with the kids.

 

What about you? Give me one "-ing" in your life, right now.

    Thanks Cathy for sharing the video link! Too funny!
    Watching some more of your tutorials this week and practicing with my PSE 11 to do hybrid scrapbooking. Wanting to make a ‘Thankful” album and Dec. Daily (or Weekly) this year. You inspire me to do better.

    loving this post and the picture at the top
    thinking what to buy at the grocery store today
    wondering if it will be a good day for the beach, chance of rain
    listening to the birds outside my window
    feeling hungry already
    wishing to go out for pancakes with strawberries
    savoring these last couple weeks of vacation
    praying for a miracle about a relative’s new health news
    thanking God for all I’m blessed with
    itching to get my paints out today and play
    thanking you for letting us share with you today

    hope you put this in your PL this week.

    Omigosh! I’ve been going on and on all week about learning Italian! It’s SUCH a beautiful language! My daughter and I finally checked out the library online resources (we are in Scott county) and they have a program through there FREE that we have been learning off of called “Mango”. It’s based off using flashcards and repetition. Our ultimate goal is to order the “Fluenz Italian” system and then we are taking off. My sister used this system to learn Spanish and she’s learned so much from it! Check out your library and the other system. Fun, fun, fun!!! Good luck!
