Currently Obsessed: Oatmeal, Lists, Espresso

This week’s issue of currently obsessed features more fabulous things that I can’t get enough of this week… but will possibly be tired of next week (or not).
- Simple Harvest Oatmeal. I like the “maple brown sugar with pecans” flavor. This oatmeal is healthier, more filling, and tastier than their other stuff, or at least I think so!
- Since I’m really obsessed with graphs this week (see post about annual reports coming today or tomorrow), I am also really obsessed with list-making. This isn’t really new. But I re-discovered Listography, a super-fabulous list-prompt book with hysterical watercolor doodles.
- Perhaps I love my new Stovetop Espresso maker simply because it’s better than my French Press, the only other coffee maker I have, but I do love it. I got mine for $10 at The Christmas Tree Shop, but you can order a whole variety from here.
- Matilda! I recently re-watched the movie starring Mara Wilson, but the book is also super-fabulous (like my doodle? It’s a Roald Dahl rip-off!).
- Wacom tablets make writing over my “currently obsessed” posts so much easier!
- Yes, when there was a brief McSweeney’s sale ($5 PER ISSUE!!!) I bought nine issues. Now, they sleep in a box next to my bed and I take them out and look at them and read the copyright section (which is really the editor’s note, kind of, but hysterical). I love them. I wish I had purchased more. (By the way, that fabulous image featuring McSweeney’s books in all of their openable glory is from The Sydney Morning Herald.)

I am excited for this Wacom tablet. Specifically, the Maria posts-POST acquiring the tablet.
the listography books are great finds! in addition to being incredibly cool, they provide great “check-ins”. I am taking a class on group therapy and will try to use some of them!!
