I'm writing this Sunday Salon on Saturday as I will be traveling all day Sunday.  I'm heading back east in case you missed the post yesterday.  Going to see the family and enjoy the holiday week.  I will probably not post next week since I will be deeply entrenched in family activities.

Listening To: I finished going through our iTunes account for possible 101 Favorite Songs.  I narrowed down the list.  I've actually gotten it down to 101 (with some major culling rules).  Now I'm separating them out into categories for easier posting.  Besides listening to those songs, I updated my computer's iTunes account.  Basically I wiped everything to the server and then pulled about 2400 songs that I really love for traveling.  Plus I updated my iPod for traveling music.  So I should be set with tons of Mumford, Florence, Lumineers, Lady Antebellum, Josh Groban, etc.

Book finished: The Jewel of St. Petersburg, An Offer You Can't Refuse, Flower Fables

Reading:Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson

On the Nightstand: The iPad is loaded with Shakespeare, fantasy, and science fiction ready for traveling.  First up: As You Like It.

MakingLists: Final packing lists.  I've had all my clothes packed for a few days.  I just had to get my media, tech, and toiletries.  Thankfully I only have four Apple products to take (as opposed to J's mountain of tech) and two cords.  And because of the iPad, I only have to bring two physical books (for take off and landings).

On the Web: Getting excited for 2013 reading challenges.  People are finally putting out their sign up posts.  Now I have to decide which ones to do and which ones to pass on...

Watching: I've made it a point to finish some series and get caught up on others before starting anything new.  I finished S8 of Weeds and with that the series.  I was okay with the ending, but the reunion of tons of former characters felt a little cheap.  J and I finished S2 of Fairly Legal and then found out it was canceled.  Boo!  I am really going to miss Leo, but I guess the ending was okay.  We are making our way through S4 of The West Wing and S2 of Stargate Universe (last season).  Plus, I am resolved to finish finish Heroes.  I kept getting stuck in the third season.  I finally made it out and started S4.  So far, it's much better than S3.  I might actually finish this during the Thanksgiving break as I can watch it on Netflix instant streaming.

Shopping Scores: I have resolved to wait until after Thanksgiving to do any major holiday shopping.  Plus I need the boys' Christmas lists.  So far, I am doing really good not spending any more.  Although I am eyeing Stampin' Up's current deals.  Hmm....
