want-need

southern oregon | polaroid 100 land camera | fuji 3000b film

Eating | more fish. and loving this chain, because i can have a simple, grilled fillet, fresh veg, and another side, just as fast as i could have a big mac.
Drinking | still enjoying the mister's moscow mule skills, but the paloma sounds like a good summer drink to try.
Practicing | thinking about what practicing chinese medicine looks like now that i've been retired for a few years. retirement has provided a new perspective and understanding; knowing intuitively that being in practice as i have in the past, feels like my past. i don't know what any of this looks like but i'm excited.
Mastering | photoshop, ha! i don't think master status is anytime soon, but i am learning to work in photoshop and it doesn't feel so intimidating. 
Learning | to really listen to my body, especially when i'm on the bike. working out how to leave my competitive nature at the door and feeling so empowered by its accomplishment.
Trying | to make a habit of a weekly walking meditation.
Playing | i really want to learn how to play mahjong and some card game like canasta. (i really am getting old, ha!)
Finishing | a big laptop clean-up that was long overdue.
Reading | the infernal devices series, vanity fair magazine on my iPad, (which looks amazing in that format and is much easier on my eyes), and a couple non-fiction books.
Remembering | that we're all doing the best that we can and that means me too.
Wearing | cute workout gear. i've removed all the clothing from my wardrobe that doesn't make me feel good about myself, (even if it was new), and that needed to extend into the workout clothes drawer. used to be that i'd wear an old t-shirt and cotton leggings, but 1) i felt and looked like a schlump, and 2) the way that i sweat now when i workout means that wearing cotton anything is just wrong. i love lululemon but my wallet doesn't, so most days it's champion, (and a couple cute lulus here and there.)
Cooking | from this treasure
Working | on myself. finding this quote on pinterest when i needed it most.
Traveling | with my 50th birthday fast approaching, i'm putting together a getaway for a few close friends. it might involve the desert, but my heart is yearning for a hot soak, (which could happen in the desert), so i'm investigating my options.  
Wanting | more ink. i tried to schedule an appointment, but the dude i want is booked through the end of the year, with 2015 bookings beginning in november. there is the off chance that i could get in with a last minute cancellation before 2015, but that involves making a phone call on a specific day, and of course, being prepared to go get tattooed on a dime. which really means, i need to get my artwork together and finalized. 




I found this list here, and then here and thought it would be fun to play along.
