When I first started blogging I wasn’t working and had more free time then I knew what to do with. I had all day to focus on my blog and never had to worry much about planning ahead.

Now that I am working full time though I am learning just how important scheduling and writing post ahead are in staying organized and not feeling overwhelmed by everything.

So for today’s post I am keeping it simple with a currently update.

Azora has been on my mind a lot this week, I just love that face!

Wearing: double layers of everything. The temperatures have been below freezing all week, feels like we are back in December!

Loving: my current job. Even though I don’t know what will happen in the next few weeks this experience has been amazing and I have met so many wonderful people. Anywhere that sends you to an annual ball is a winner in my book.

Needing: socks. I have worn the same few pairs I packed so much that almost all of them now have holes in them.

Knowing: that I need to start practicing my Icelandic again. Ever since my course finished I haven’t been very good about practicing, I need to get on it.

Watching: Scandal, I count down the days tell the newest episode is out!

Feeling: homesick. It’s just been one of those weeks were you can’t shake the feeling of homesickness and I just have to let it run its course.

Drinking: carrot and ginger juice. We recently got an amazing new blender and I am obsessed with blending everything in it. My favorite combination so far is carrot, pineapple and ginger.

Hoping: for spring to arrive soon, I need some sunshine in my life!

Wanting: new clothes. After wearing the same outfits for 5 months I am dreaming of a shopping spree.

Missing: my sisters. We can spend hours laughing and talking about anything but we have all been so busy that we haven’t had much time to talk lately.

Anticipating: what the rest of this month will bring job wise.

Wondering: when I will get to see my family again. At the moment I have no idea when my next trip back home will be and I think this has been a factor in my recent feelings of homesickness. Will be nice when I know when I will get to see everyone again.

Playing: Badminton. Last weekend we went with some friends to a badminton court and it was a blast. We ended up playing for a few hours and are already planning our next trip back.

Looking: for the perfect picture wall layout. We just rearranged our living room and now have a big space on our wall we want to fill up with photos so I have been browsing Pinterest trying to get some ideas on different layouts.

Baking: this recipe for chocolate chip cookie bars made with chickpeas. They are delicious!

Thinking: that I need to fix my bike. I got a flat tire last week and have yet to deal with it. Not having my bike is starting to get a bit inconvenient.

Reading: Michael Pollan “Food Rules” for my book club. Last meeting we got into discussing one of my favorite topics, nutrition, which led to the reading of this book. I can’t wait for our next meeting to hear everyone’s thoughts about the topic.

Laughing: at the adorable video of the dog rolling around the bed when the owners are gone.

Wishing: that my good friend and amazing hairdresser Sarah was here so she could help my poor hair out. I haven’t gotten it trimmed since I moved to Iceland, it is in need of her magical touch. If your in the Eugene, Oregon area look her up at The Mothership salon!

Dreaming: of this hike that I hope we get to do this summer. I can’t wait for the weather to get nicer so we can start exploring around Iceland more.

Until next time, Azora says be sure to smile today
