July Currently (It's almost July already!?)

Ok, here goes my second ever "Currently" courtesy of Farley's linky party!

Listening: to the whir of my ceiling fan. I just got back from a very productive (calorically speaking) trip to Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt. (Heaven in a cup, BTW), and now I'm enjoying some peace and quiet while blogging before I go to bed. 

Loving: that I don't have to work until 1PM tomorrow! I'm a lifeguard during the summer at a country club close to my parents house and I work basically full time, normally starting around 9ish in the morning. So, getting to sleep in on a Sunday before work will be a treat.

Thinking: about whether or not I want to read a few chapters in my book before I go to bed. I've been on a serious reading kick lately. During my college career I collected a ton of "pleasure" books (pleasure meaning they had nothing to do with child psychology or educational strategies) that I haven't had a chance to read, so I packed them all with me to hang out in NC for the summer. I'm currently reading "Paper Towns" by John Green. Already very good. 

Wanting: to be at KYC! I grew up going to church camp as a kid -- every summer for ten years I camped and worked as a teenager. Last year I went back for the first time in 5 years and worked for a couple of weeks. I loved seeing old friends and meeting new ones, but didn't have an opportunity to go back this Summer and I'm super sad about it. I loved being a counselor for the mini campers -- nothing quite like being responsible for a dorm room full of 20 seven year olds for a week!

Needing: to start shopping/organizing for my vacation! My mom and brother and I are going to Italy for ten days in less than three weeks. I have zero things prepared and a zillion things on my to-do list (not the least of which is continuing to fill out job applications in hopes of getting an interview BEFORE we leave...!)

Tips and Tricks: this one is a little tricky, no pun intended. I'm very new to the blogging world, so I don't necessarily have any advice to give on that front. So, I'll stick with this: never give your bank card to a fellow co-worker to run an errand for you. Even if you think he's a stand up guy. Even if you think he's not going to make any shady charges to your account. He will. Naivety got the best of me today. I'm a trusting person...what can I say. 

Alright, I guess that about does it! I'm loving reading all these "currently" posts from all my new blog friends!
