Currently July

I am linking up with Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade for this month's Currently July! Here we go.

Listening: Currently I am listening to Queen Bey. AKA Beyonce. MY FAV. I'm not sure why I love her so much, but I do. Maybe because she is part diva? ha. I guess we will never know! Maybe because her voice is simply gorgeous and I like to think that I can sing like her. A girl can pretend, can't she!? 

Loving: Right now I think it is safe to say that I am ADDICTED to Venti Iced coffees sweetened with cream from Starbucks. I have literally been going every. day. for the past week. Now sweetened with cream is an important part of my order because I cannot stand bitter coffee! My best friend likes to always tell me that " it is not the coffee that is strong, but the coffee consumer that is weak." HA. well whatever the case may be, I do not think that I will ever be able to drink black coffee. I like to tell my husband that getting one every day makes me a more productive wife;) I am not sure if he believes me--but he loves me so he lets me get one of course:) 

Thinking: "I need to go to the gym in the morning." Right now I am not very motivated as I sit in my bed and watch TV. It is a personal goal of mine to go to the gym at least 4 days a week and burn at least 500 calories while I am there. My goodness.. I will be the first one to admit-- sometimes it is hard to muster up the motivation, but I feel so good when I walk out of the gym! I think that is my favorite part, walking out. 

Wanting: I am trying to get my name out there in the blogging community. I am a "newbie" and have been researching and adding others. I have had so much fun just in the short time that I have been doing this! This will be one of my first link parties! I am so excited to see all of these fun ideas and I am on my instagram (@mrscoutouzis) even longer now to spot neat ideas for the classroom! Soon I will be producing TPT items, but for now I am just making things for my classroom. Does anyone have any suggestions to obtain more followers and to connect to teachers!? 

Needing: to deep clean my house. I thought that being home this summer the house would be more easily kept. HA. you can laugh with me. Being home makes me want to be lazy is all. I have a large list that I want to get to before school returns. My list includes every room in the house and pays attention to every nook and cranny. I have yet to cross it off. I am a lists person and sometimes (I'll admit) my lists contain useless and non-productive items like 1. Shower,  2.) Get dressed, etc. At least thing way I can cross something off;)

4th plans: I am super excited for tomorrow. I love, love, love the 4th of July! Tomorrow we are attending a BBQ at my in-laws which includes baked beans, hamburgers, hot dogs, lots of chips, and one of my absolute favorites…roasted corn. Roasted corn takes me way back to when I spent all day at the State Fair and walked around munching on one before hitting up all of the rides. Needless to say, I can't wait! I am also going to make a French Vanilla cake with Cool Whip frosting and use the strawberries and blueberries to resemble a flag. Cute right? I thought so, too!

That shows you a glimpse on what is going on in my life! I look forward to talking to some of you and reading about your current plans and excitements! I cannot believe that it is already July! Time sure is flying by and the school year will be here before you know it. We won't mention that right now;) 

Now Back to the Linky
