Currently: August 2018

August! What the what?! You’re here already!? It means school is starting soon and the days will be hot. Dog days of summer are here in Texas. Know what else is here? It’s Currently time with Anne in Residence. Here’s what’s cooking this month.

following ~ I’ve been trying to get back on the horse and eat better while letting the 21 Day Fix kick my butt. Unfortunately, I’ve been so successful in following the eating plan. Can’t exercise away a bad diet. Sadly!

ordering ~ If you’re like me and almost everyone in blogland, then you’ve shopped the #nsale. Oh, Nordstrom, you just don’t disappoint. I’ve discovered that Wit and Wisdom jeans do not disappoint either. I ordered a pair of black denim and hearted them immediately. Since that was a good experience, I decided to try a couple more pairs. Unfortunately, one pair was out of stock…bummer. I did get these two cute pairs though.

pinning ~ I’ve been a little fascinated with all the flavors for making chickpeas delicious. Haven’t tried any yet, but I’m on it this month.

The best healthy snack just got even better! Roasted chickpea snacks!

watching ~ Admittedly my new favorite show is on HGTV {no surprise}. It may come as a surprise that my hubby and I both enjoy Love It or List It. You’ll find us watching it faithfully on Mondays at 8:00 PM CST.
counting ~ I’m still counting books. I have goals for this year and even though I’ve slacked off a little since 2018 debuted, I’m still working to get to my goal. It was 50 books this year. I’m currently at 48 and I’m confident I’m going to make my goal!
I’m looking forward to reading what is going on with other bloggers…Currently.
Hugs and have a great day, friends! ~ Carrie

    I love roasted chickpeas and go through phases with them - I make them all the time and then not at all! Ha! But they are so good! xo, Kellyann
  • Yay for new jeans! Now if it would just cool off so you can wear them!
  • Nordstrom must have trouble keeping the jeans in stock. I did a back to school order for my daughter. Most items are coming this week, but all the jeans (different styles and brands) still just say "getting ready." Hope you're staying cool in these dog days of summer!
  • I got the black jeans from Wit and Wisdom last year and loved them so much that I ordered some other pairs this year too. They're a pretty great deal even when not on sale! And I've done a chili powder + garlic powder roasted chickpea dish before that was really good, but you've got me really intrigued about some other flavors now. Thanks for the ideas :)
