Things I’m Loving Right Now

- I don’t usually fall victim to the pumpkin craze. Little known fact, but I’ve actually never had a pumpkin spice latte. I’m just not that into the idea of drinking pumpkin, to be real. But these — THESE, my friends — are little pieces of spiced pumpkin perfection put on this earth to ruin diets and be devoured under the cover of darkness while binge loving on your latest Netflix addiction.
- Speaking of Netflix addictions… two words: STRANGER THINGS. This show had me at opening credits… the soundtrack… the type treatments… and those freaking kids are too goddamn much. We’re 5 episodes in to the first season, and can’t stop watching. And is it just me, or is the actress who plays Eleven basically a next-gen Natalie Portman (a la The Professional) or what?
- And because I’m a parent of two little people who suck the life out of me, and my idea of a good time is literally bullet one mixed with bullet two (rinse, repeat) I can go on and on about how Netflix is crushing it right now. There’s so much goodness packed into their library, we’ve been kept consistently entertained for months. Narcos is unstoppable — Season 3 can’t get here soon enough, despite Pablo Escobar being killed off (sorry, not a spoiler, this show’s content is based on history, people.) I just read that Los Pepes might be back for Season 3, too, so LOOKOUT. And we’ve got Luke Cage cued up to start this weekend, when Hurricane Matthew’s rain/wind/Armageddon keeps us holed up inside.
- Anything my 2 1/2 year old says or does right now is gold. Her inflections are priceless. I just follow her with the “record” button set so I can capture all the magic. From gems like, “I do not have to wear sun-scream today.” to “Mommy, can you put hot dog buns in my hair?” to dancing just because she loves pizza so much. Girlfriend’s running the heart-melt show.
- Basically anything that shows up in my social feeds that is NOT election-related. I am as guilty of it as the next person, but it’s borderline psychotic at this point, and so I’ll take all the hiccuping pandas or dad-built American Ninja Warrior courses I can get.
One love, y’all.
