Currently Digging

WOW!! October is almost over! I can't believe it! Life this past year has been a blur.. to say the least.. this year will be over before I know it.. CRAZY! So I appreciate slowing down the pace at nighttime.. at the end of a long school day.. invigorating morning exercise.. or a long Saturday filled with baking, hanging out, football games, and so forth and just pop in a CD and close my eyes.. RELAXATION

So here are the MOVIES, MUSIC, BOOKS, and FOOD I'm craving.


A: Movies: I am currently in LOVE with this movie..:)

I've read the book and fell in love 1st then twice! I found this at the library and I WAS THRILLED! Kate Winslet is one of my favorite actresses and the movie is so neat. It was a lot more easier to understand having read the novel by Jane Austen than Pride and Predjudice( with Keira Knightley). And by the way I really want to read that book too! 

So check this out for yourselves girls

B: Music.

Group 1 Crew is the bomb! I've only heard the music once( till 3 weeks ago!) with the" He Said" song with Chris August. However, I looked more into them when I found out they were in concert with Britt Nicole( which I was going to with some friends)

and not I can't stop listening! Workouts, nighties, music for baking... it all is awesome for rocking to their songs. Encouraging, filling, thoughtful, honest, wholehearted dance- like music that never fails to amaze me! You can see their love for Jesus just spilling out so much when they perform live. It's indescribable!! I appreciate how honest they are about their struggles, and how they encourage us in our own. I love you 2! Log on to Group 1 crew.com to see some of their music! 

Secondly, The Young Victoria soundtrack. A friend of ours gave me a cd she burned with all the songs from the movie. I realized about a month ago I'd never listened to it. But once I did.. it was breath-taking.Beautiful, calming, awe- inspiring music( with no words) that helped me fall asleep dreamily and made my imagination soar...  I don't know what you guys like to listen to at night and you might think some of the songs are too LOUD for nighttime so depending on your style.. just listen to the songs first in the day- time and then try them at bedtime. I could gladly burn you a cd and send it to you if you give me your address. Trust me... even if you don't like it at bedtime it will still inspire you and prove to be a calming respite for a relaxing afternoon nap or a quiet Sunday morning.

C: Books... 

hmm. actually can't think of two many except 

"Anne of Windy Poplars" I've read this twice now and plan to read in again( eh, in about a month or more, mind you) It has to be the most interesting Anne Shirley book so far. It is the 4th in the Lucy M. Montgomery( Anne of Green Gables) series. IT follows Anne to Windy poplars where she is to teach for 3 years before marrying her fiancé Gilbert after he completes medical school. From the strange, hilarious happenings while teaching peculiar pupils, to the dinners and unique events while staying at a boarding house with two elder spinsters and a maid, this book is #3 in my all- time favorites. read it at your local library or buy it online.

D:  last of all.... Food

Let's see.. Strawberry smoothies for sure.. with lots of protein. Since starting gym workouts 2 weeks ago, I need more health- foods. They're inspiring me to eat more veggies, fruits, and get used to trying new drinks and foods. Here's a link to my food blog..

(ttp://bakinginthenatural.blogspot.com) I love fruits and veggies.. the problem is just that I always forget to eat them. I'm too distracted by all the breads, crackers, pastries, and cheeses in the cabinets and kitchen. But I plan to set two goals every month in eating healthier

1: to eat one apple or banana, one or two salads( without too much cheese or meats) but more veggies and one smoothie a day

2: to take a daily walk in addition to my workouts.

Last of all, I'd like to thank a dear friend of mine ( from blogger. We've never actually met)  who gave me the idea for setting goals. Thank you so much Kelli!

check out her blog when you have the time. It is so amazingly awesome! ..http://www.shelearnsasshegoes.com/
