I have lately been so caught up in telling all about my latest travel experiences (Skywalker Ranch, anyone?) that I have not stopped to write about the things that are happening in my real life and taking up space in my heart and mind.
And I know I always tell you that some things are "not important right now," so I decided to share things that are important to me right now.
With that in mind, here's what's happening in The Present Participle World of Marta for January 2015. (I know you care.)
Loving our brand new mattress. Yes. It was time and we finally bit the bullet and now our bed is The Most Comfortable Bed Ever. We painted our bedroom yellow months ago and all of this is making me super happy. Mostly because I'm sleeping better, but that's not important right now.
Working on some custom orders and some new designs to add to my Etsy shop, Marta Darby Designs. You have one of my Cuban Food Posters already, right?
Delighting in the beauty and fun (and work!) that is our 5 month old grandson, Asher. Grateful to Adam and Alysha for so graciously sharing him with us.
Reading Yes Please by Amy Poehler. Getting inspired, laughing out loud and hating her potty-mouth all at once.
Trying lots of new Pinterest recipes which is making my family love me oh, so much. Lots of keepers. Follow my I *Heart* Food or Cuban Food boards if you're so inclined.
Watching the old Batman TV series with Eric and Jonathan and seriously loving the cheesiness of the acting and dialog. Also, yes, as a matter of fact, we do keep those lights in here all year round.
Supporting our son, Jonathan as he continues to pursue his acting career.
Missing my daughter, Amy who is still doing life in Miami. She hilariously shares photos of the Cuban food that she's enjoying in order to entice me to visit soon. (It might just work.)
Celebrating a day off together with my husband and kids at Disneyland. Those days are few and far between lately which makes them that much more delicious.
Procrastinating on making dinner tonight because I may or may not be spending too much time on Pinterest pinning some Really Really Fabulous Dinner Ideas That I Must Try Immediately, but that's not important right now.
What about you? What are you doing that's important right now?
LOVE YOUR BLOG… Thanks for sharing and allowing us to share with you. What’s important right now to me is…Living, Loving, and Laughing! Enjoying time with my family. Missing 3 of my 5 kids that live away from home. Working hard. Praising God for all we have…
Looking forward with excitement/apprehension/dread towards my soon to be empty nest with my youngest graduating high school this May. Planning trips with my husband now that we will soon have so much time (Machu-Picchu or Spain?). Studying for my Research Certification Exam (because it’s never to late to re-invent yourself, right?). I have much to be thankful for, that’s for sure. Love your blog Marta. Love your Poster hanging on my kitchen wall! Besos, hermanita virtual!
