Happy Wednesday! I love May! It is busy, hectic, and chaotic, but it is also very, very close to summer. And the busy, hectic, and chaotic parts are usually so fun. I am linking up with Jennifer to share five things I am currently doing. Jennifer’s blog is so fun to read. She is the mom of four grown boys and works in an elementary school. She’s full of joy and cheerfulness.

I am loving…

Harry Potter! Luke and I just finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on Audible. I enjoyed the books when I first read them, but listening to them with Luke has been wonderful. He is all in on Harry Potter! Luke asks great questions to go along with the book and he really makes me think. We are going to start Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today.

I am picturing…

Thursday afternoon at 3:30. My desk will be cleaned off, everything will be ready for the day on Friday, and I will be walking out of school for the week. I’m off on Friday! My desk is still a bit of a mess and my plans need a few more copies, but come Thursday afternoon it will all be done!

I am craving…

a little sunshine! After we had a stretch of summer-like temperatures and sunshine, we’ve been stuck in a chilly, cloudy or rainy spell. I am so ready for the sun to come back! I know those 80 degree days were early, but they were a real tease!

I am wishing…

Billy Joel will pick us for the front row upgrade. We are going to see him on Friday night in Madison Square Garden! I’ve heard that he doesn’t sell the tickets in the front few rows because he was tired of looking at uninterested people at his concerts. He sends people out to find huge fans in the balconies and back rows to upgrade them to the front. Billy Joel is a dream concert for me and I’m wishing that I’ll get picked!!

I am collecting…

book titles. My Summer Beach Reads 2023 will be out soon and I am collecting the titles to include. I’ll have some perennial favorite authors and I am adding a few new ones this year. If you love summer reading like I do, you can check out my previous years’ lists now. Be on the lookout for this year’s list coming soon!

What are you loving, picturing, craving, wishing, and collecting? Have a great day full of sunshine and books!
