What I’m Into {June 2014}

Read & Reading:

• I’m only half way through We’ll Always Have Paris.  Such. good. funny. writing.  Perfect beach/pool book!
• I wrote a mini review of You’re Going to Be Okay by Holley Gerth.  For those of you in the midst of tough times, I strongly recommend it.  It helped elevate me over my funk.
• It seems like every summer I get excited about juicing again.  It just feels right.

T.V.

• Thanks to Leigh, I started Sherlock on Netflix –so good!  The writing. The actors. The plot. Love it. All of it.
• I’m 3 years in to Project: Finish Frasier. I’m now on Season 10, episode 9.  Niles is hilarious.
• I started Homeland.  Hello intense.
• I finished Season 3 of Scandal finally. That show makes me want to never trust another human being ever.

Movies

• I absolutely loved About Time which was made from the Director of Love Actually.  Need I say more?
• About Last Night.  Kevin Hart KILLS it in this movie.  He’s such an incredible comedic actor. Also? Michael Ealy.
• Peeples (on Netflix).  Can I just say how WEIRD it is to watch a bubbly, bouncing, smiling, dancing singing Kerry Washington after having finished Scandal.  It’s almost meta.
• Stuck in Love.  (on Netflix) I really enjoyed this movie.  I think it’s because it’s about a whole family of writers.
• Life Happens. (on Netflix). Meh.  I could barely get over how much I HATED Kate Bosworth’s character in the movie.  Loathed.

Music

• A little Andy Mineo,  a little Pink, a little Jhene’ Aiko.

Things I Love

• Swimming as a work-out.
• Reading on the sun porch, but especially when my little Rhysie-Bear comes out to join me.
• Taking my boys to the festivals, swimming, fairs and myriad of outdoor activities our city has to offer the munchkins.
• 
• Mango Sherbert.
• “Playing” tennis with my boys.  It’s the cutest catastrophe you ever did see.
• 

‘Ish I’m up to

• De-cluttering.  Donating lots of old clothes, old papers, old books.  It feels good to purge.
• I’ve been tinkering away on my new YouTube natural hair channel: Mixed HAIRitage & it’s accompanying Facebook page.  (<—Hop on over & join the community if you have interest in all things natural hair).

Some Cool Things We Did

• I hosted Love Flash Mob for my cousin Zevelyn & her sweet boy.  We were able to raise $905 of the desired $1375.  Her need is still the same, so you can give via GoFundMe.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
• You guys also generously helped me out when I asked.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Favorite Blogs I’ve Read

• I’ll curate that list for this weekend’s, For You Netizen
