Currently.

obsessing: over all the posts around the country about autumn. It's truly my favorite time of the year and here in LA it's still way too HOT (over 100* last week) and I'm obsessing in a very unflattering way over posts with crisp colorful leaves and warm cozy scarfs. Oh, and boots! 

reading: Gunn's Golden Rules by Tim Gunn. This is most definitely a read for anyone who loves Project Runway but also just anyone who loves all things fashion-related. It's such a raw and real talk about life with a mix of great and truthful stories from "the industry". I'm LOVING this read and it's the perfect thing to snuggle up to at night. Well, and my snoring guy.

watching: all that I can until fall shows return. I cannot wait for Grey's Anatomy to come back so until then I've filled my days re-watching The Office for the 10th time, finishing the final season of Dexter, yelling at the results of SYTYCD and sneaking the occasional Real Housewife or Teen Mom. don't judge. What shows do you love? I'm ALWAYS in need of something to turn on while cooking or crafting.

planning: our FIFTH anniversary next month! Holy Moly. Can't believe how much I love that guy of mine and how far we've come together in these five years. Now if he'll just put a ring on it..... sheesh! 

sick of: this heat! oh wait, I already told you that. I'm also really tired of hearing about Miley Cyrus and the twerking. am I the only one who feels old now and thinks all this ridiculousness should just be put to a stop? I guess that's what 27 years old will do to you. 

thinking about: BIG changes happening in the next six months. So much that I wish I could share and so much that I'm totally unsure about. But taking leaps all over the place in life and just hoping there's a parachute attached so I don't end up on my butt. How's that for a closing thought?

what are you currently up to, friend? if you have your own "currently" post, be sure to include it below - i would love to check it out. and as always, thanks to Danielle  and illy for the original inspiration of this post.

Latte Krispy Treats

Ya'll....I came up with something on the fly the other day that I JUST HAVE TO share with you. So I love Rice Krispy Treats and they're something my momma always made for us. I am pretty darn great at making them (if I do say so myself) and this time was no joke.

What did I do? I just made the grown up version of the yummiest, easiest treat to make on the planet. And now I'm going to share it with you. Because I'm cool like that. And I think you're cool like that too. AND because I just KNOW you'll get addicted to these just like I did.

the steps.

and then.

The-not-too-much-of-a-recipe:

{ONE} Melt the butter and add couple spoonfuls of ground coffee beans

{TWO} When butter is fully melted add marshmellows (full bag) and a splash of your favorite creamer. Melt till liquid, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.  

{THREE} Quickly add your desired amount of rice krispies and stir. I use about 3/4 of the box. 

{FOUR} Spoon out into either greased pan or wax paper. 

{FIVE} Let cool and harden a bit and then ENJOY!

Coffee, Coffee, Toblerone

I want this weekend to be relaxing. So this is how I've started my day.
I am house/doggie-sitting for the next week.
I woke to the neighbor pounding and drilling right outside my bedroom window.
Ugh.
Hate that man.

Next I did something secret for boyfriend.

I can't wait! I hate keeping secrets.


Next boyfriend made pancakes and I made coffee.
Yum.
Then we fought about Valentine's Day.
Ha, of course.
We made it better and he went to work.
No worries.
It's all love.

Next I sat down to watch some on demand "office" and drink more coffee.
Because I'm only on my 3rd cup.

And because it pairs so well with coffee....
I also had some of this:

Please do not judge.

I am not sure what I will be doing the remainder of today.
Shower, yes.
Take the doggie for a walk, yes also.
Relax, heck yes!
