Reading: The Philosopher's Flight by Tom Miller. It was my BOTM selection from February. An interesting mix of historical fiction and steampunk. Enjoying it so far.

Watching: Another Period is back and it's amazing. The show is so stupid, but I love it.

Listening: Loving the new singles from CHVRCHES. Can't wait for the new album to be released.

Making: I've printed the pictures for the Week in the Life album, now I need to put it all together. I've gotten Monday finished so that only leaves me with 6 more days...

Feeling: Getting away for a few hours yesterday really helped me recharge. 

Planning: I made our Spring Bucket list yesterday. Now to plan out some activities and get doing!

Loving: The ability to put books on hold and grab them from the shelf is amazing... Half my reads for April are currently on hold.

Reading: Demonglass and Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins. After some more adult reads, I'm taking a bit of a YA break to finish this series. 

Watching: J and I have been on a movie kick lately. I actually made a watch list in my bujo because I keep forgetting the movies I want to watch. Now we can look at the short list, pick something to watch, and cross it off! (I'm a huge lister and completionist over here.)

Listening: I downloaded some albums onto my Apple Music app and one of my selections was the new Black Veil Brides album. I love some metal every once in awhile!

Making: I'm trying to finish a month in our family Project Life album from last year. Currently working on April and May. Plus, I'm documenting Week in the Life this week so I'm mentally planning spreads and stories for the album.

Feeling: Last week, I felt very scattered in my tasks and plans. This week, I'm much much more focused.

Planning: I've got a few new craft classes scheduled for April and May. I need to prep the rest of the card kits. I've also got Spring Bingo scheduled. Now I need to plan out my make n takes and finalize the prizes. Finally, I've still got one project to design for March stamp club and I need to start thinking about April stamp club (last in this round).

Loving: My birthday was yesterday! We don't usually have anything big planned, but I do love commemorating it in some way. The retreat a few weekends back acted as my big present, but I also made sure to have a dessert and a few other little self-care items the day of.

Listening: Been perusing Apple Music lately and stumbled on Dashboard Confessional's new album. Love it! Such a throw-back for me.

Making: For our Valentines Exchange yesterday, I ended up making strawberry, chocolate chip, and turtle scones. Oh so good! 

Feeling: The past two days, I have massive scar tissue pain. Thankfully it has subsided today.

Planning: The retreat is next week! I've got a few last minute details to work out and then we're ready to go!

Loving: Even with not feeling great, I've gotten good sleep the last couple of days. Feeling much better.

Watching: We've watched a few movies ladies including Logan Lucky and a few documentaries.

Watching: Obsessing over Dirk Gently S2 right now. Oh so good!

Reading: The Last Stand by Nathaniel Philbrick -- Been meaning to read this one for awhile. Loved his other histories. 

Watching: The Good Place Season 2 -- Holy cow! We were worried about where the show-runners were going to go in Season 2, but they have thankfully invented the show. Loving it.

Listening: Lots of Pod Save America podcast. Their anger at the current political climate is very cathartic for me.

Making: Dove into my fall foods this week with chili and cornbread, but more importantly pumpkin bread!

Feeling: Don't know if it's the weather or what, but I've been very stuffy lately.

Planning: Saturday's the big Arthur and Quentin joint birthday party. So much to do before then, but most things can't be done until Friday...

Loving: The cooler temps and fall weather have been great lately.
