Watching: J's gone still and the server's down... I have to rely on Netflix to fill my watching selection. Thankfully Netflix has three seasons of Penny Dreadful. I've been meaning to start this show since it first aired. Already five episodes in. So good!

Reading: The Last Camellia by Sarah Jio. It's our book club selection for September and I'm getting a head start I won't be able to attend book club (scheduled baby date), but it was originally my suggestion. Only about 25 pages in, but so far, so good.

Listening: Arthur's upset Netflix took off Dinosaur Train. Thankfully he can watch on the PBS app on the iPad. That theme song is seriously stuck in my head now.

Making: I put aside crafting for a bit so I could attempt to fill the freezer with meals before the baby comes. So far I've made 2 trays of baked ziti, 12 breakfast burritos, 20 pumpkin french toast sticks, 12 apple cake bars, and 12 cereal bar cookies. Hoping to get to some chicken dishes tomorrow.

Feeling: So many activities this week and I'm already so sore!

Planning: Baby is being evicted in 20 days. I have a few projects that I need to complete before he comes (Arthur's bday party, freezer meals, fall social planning, cleaning the house, crop day, stamp club, and a few other small things).

Loving: Popcorn has become the toddler and I's go-to snack lately. So yummy!

Day 3 means it's time for another great sneak peek video...

And now on to today's regularly scheduled post.

Watching: Instead of watching regular movies, J and I have watching the RiffTrax versions of movies. This week's selections were Battlefield Earth and Batman and Robin. Both horrible movies made entertaining with RiffTrax.

Reading: Getting back into some fluffy romance with More Than a Mistress by Mary Balogh.

Listening: Changing up our Pandora channels. Arthur and I were enjoying The Lumineers yesterday.

Making: Busting out the fall themed stamps!

Feeling: The pain ebbs and flows. Saturday was horrible, Sunday was decent, Monday was okay until I vacuumed the car and the house then it was bad, today is back to decent.

Planning: J leaves for his big work trip this Sunday. Arthur and I hope to fit in some fun activities while he's gone and the baby's still cooking.

Loving: I love when I wake up to fog that burns off about 10am. No 90 degree days for us right now.

Desktop Thursday #17

My crafting area is a disaster zone. I feel like I should take some time tomorrow and organize!

Currently...

Watching: J and I dove in The Shannara Chronicles. It's a bit ridiculous, but fun. It's our current go-to for something fun and not depressing.

Reading: Making my way through The Finishing School series by Gail Carriger for Read a Series in a Month challenge. I'm almost finished with the second book, Curtsies and Conspiracies.

Listening: Going on week 5 of roof repairs in our part of the neighborhood. Our building alone took three weeks (scared to know how damaged the roof really was). They've moved on to the next building down, but lots of noises from hammering and cutting tile. Plus, our building is next to get painted. So noise, lots of noise from about 8am to 5pm every Monday through Friday.

Making: I caught up Arthur's and the family PL albums last week. Moving on to the twins' albums this week. Hopefully I can get to prepping the baby's album before my due date.

Feeling: Pregnancy and life is really wearing on me this week.

Planning: Arthur's 3rd birthday party got moved up a month because of the baby coming. I'm starting to get in deep with party planning. Have an entire Pinterest board and Amazon list.

Loving: J went to the store the other night for pizza and ice cream. He came home with an ice cream cake. So incredibly good!

Currently...

Watching: J and I have been on a movie kick lately. We've watched The Wolverine, The Scorch Trials, Keanu, and San Andreas all in the past week. I plan on watching Pride and Prejudice and Zombies tonight.

Reading: I finally picked up George Washington's Secret Six by Brian Kilmeade. I've been obsessed with the American Revolution lately.

Listening: I started listening to The Scot and the Sassenach podcast yesterday. I love Outlander both books and tv series, so this podcast series is perfect for me.

Making: Started working on my August SSINK cards. In the past three days, I knocked out 4! Woohoo!

Feeling: For the first time in months, I started a week without a meal plan. What is wrong with me this month? Overall, I'm feeling a bit disorganized lately. Need to fix this.

Planning: From my point above, I really need to dive back into my meal and activity planning.

Loving: Digging the fresh fruit right now, especially nectarines, cantaloupe, and grapes. It's all I want to eat right now.

Dekstop Thursday #16

I just cleaned off my desk from prepping for stamp club tonight. All that's left is this stack of stamped images from Remarkable You. I borrowed the set from a friend and went to town before having to give it back this weekend. I stamped a huge variety of images in a variety of techniques to play with later. Hoping to get to this tomorrow or next week.

Currently...

Watching: Over the summer, we've introduced the twins to The Colour of Magic and Hogfather. We're finishing up with Going Postal.

Reading: Diving into The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I haven't read this book for years. We're reading it for July's book club book.

Listening: Been deep into podcasts this week. I caught up on some of my favorites including The Simple Show.

Making: Knocked out June's Project Life pages this weekend. Hoping to catch up on Arthur and the twin's albums this week.

Feeling: So very tired... 28 weeks and I'm exhausted. How do I survive for the next 12 weeks?

Planning: September is filling up with events most notably the retreat and Arthur's birthday party. We're having his birthday a month early due the baby coming in early October.

Loving: So addicted to desserts right now. I'm made a few cakes this past week and have been craving smores. Thankfully I have all the fixins to make some tonight...

Desktop Thursday #15

A super messy desk for this Thursday. Listening to the Gilmore Guys podcast and finishing some make n take examples for this Sunday's crop day.

Desktop Thursday #13

Look at all that paper! Time to cut everything up for paper shares!

5 on 5 June

1. The current state of my workspace... I've got planner accessories, a specialty album, PL embellishments, make n takes (for crop day), and items for design team cards... Getting a bit cluttered.

2. Finally ready to start working on putting together my Week in the Life album. I've started sorting the pieces from the kit. I've ordered my pictures (need to pick up tomorrow). All set to go!
