the sunday currently, volume 54.

i know it's national coffee day, & i know i've featured some kind of coffee cup on each of my sunday currently posts this month, but i couldn't resist sharing this photo i took on friday, which captures the autumn abundance i spied in trader joe's. if this doesn't make you feel that tingly fall feeling, i don't know what will.

Happy National Coffee Day! I mean, really, how can you not smile on a day that celebrates the elixir of life? Kidding... kind of. While I love my caramel macchiatos & my pumpkin spice k-cups, sometimes I wake up & just want a good ole cup of English Breakfast Tea. That wasn't the case this morning though, as Justin & I rose with Starbucks Sunday already on the mind. And as we listened to somewhat inappropriate, misplaced rap music as we waited for our coffee confections in the line, I knew today was off to the loveliest of starts...

C  U  R  R  E  N  T  L  Y  .  .  .  

R E A D I N G my Anatomy & Physiology book today. Our first test is coming up this week, & there are a few concepts I need to make sure I'm grasping. I've also been catching up on some of my blog-reading.  

W R I T I N G blog posts, because my blog is going to be back in action on Tuesday! I'm so excited to share more with y'all. This month has been an experience - I've missed being in this space, writing, & the satisfaction of hitting that publish button. I did put a new beauty video up on YouTube this past week, though, so go check that out if you'd like. It's a Summer Empties video. I finally learned how to edit in iMovie, & I'm excited to say that I plan to get on a posting schedule for my channel.

L I S T E N I N G to football on TV. Autumn Sunday mornings at their absolute best.

T H I N K I N G that it's important to sometimes have months where you step back, stay in, & save money. Justin & I took September as a low-key month, & it has been wonderful. I am definitely not a person who has to go-go-go to be happy, & we should take advantage of that fact more often. Lots of movies have been watched, lots of dinners have happened around our coffee table, & relaxation (other than school-related things, of course) has been the priority.

S M E L L I N G my absolute favorite candle at the moment - Fall Hayride, by Glade. I took a little whiff of this candle scent while we were shopping in Target a couple weeks ago, & I haven't looked back. I haven't replenished my Fall/Winter Bath & Body Works candles yet - Chestnut Clove & Mahogany Teakwood are at the top of the list - but this Glade selection is more than tiding me over until we do. And I think I'll be picking up some backups when we go grocery shopping this afternoon.

W I S H I N G every day could be National Coffee Day. Justin & I celebrated by trekking over to Starbucks first thing this morning. I got my favorite, a tall nonfat caramel macchiato. I just took the last sip, & I can tell you: it was definitely made with love. As my Anthropology teacher said in class this week, you really can tell if something is made with love or not.

H O P I N G my first test of the semester goes well. Lord knows I've been stressing enough about all of it. I think I actually feel relieved that a test is finally happening, so I can test my knowledge & see if my efforts have been working.

W E A R I N G a long-sleeved polo sleep shirt, black cropped pants, & a green & gray scarf. A bit of a mismatched outfit, but really, a scarf makes everything better.

L O V I  N G blogging. And feeling so excited about getting back into the groove.

W A N T I N G a healthy lunch, just like last week. We ate pretty horribly yesterday. Football season will do that to ya. And a day like yesterday is allowed every once in a while, don't you think?

N E E D I N G to tidy up around the house this afternoon. I finally got caught back up with laundry & dishes, after taking a week off. It feels great. Now, just to keep it that way.

F E E L I N G much better this morning. The aforementioned eating that happened yesterday may have been fun while it was happening, but let's just say my body was not prepared for that. I had trouble sleeping last night because I felt pretty horrible. 

C L I C K I N G The Sunday Secrets & my favorite blog reads this morning. Reveling in the anticipation of getting caught up.

To say that I am excited about being officially back to blogging on Tuesday is the understatement of the century. Meet me back here then, when I'll be sharing my thoughts on taking a month off of blogging, as well as unveiling my new header*, new features for this space, & some other exciting additions**. I hope you're excited, because I sure am. Thank you for being here & reading. My love for this space is pretty huge at the moment, & it's something that I hope is in my life for years to come.

* Editors Note: New header, along with all layout changes, was added on Sunday, September 29 at 3:10 p.m., because I just couldn't wait! Stay tuned for more changes coming shortly.

** Editor's Note: New siddathornton network pages added on Sunday, September 29 at 5:56 p.m. They can be found in the pages bar below the header. More information coming Tuesday on these new additions.
