On the Nightstand: A Vindication of the Rights of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft; Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher; The Beautiful and the Damned by F Scott Fitzgerald; American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Making Lists: Meal plan and grocery list.  We are currently eating out of the freezer while I make a new meal plan.  Pulling some interesting recipes from Pinterest to try.

Around the house: After getting the house looking gorgeous for the crafting open house last week, it has slowly devolved into a mess.  My problem was that we were out and about almost every day this week.  Cleaning is the last thing I want to do after coming home from a long day of stuff.  Amazingly the kitchen is the one area that has been fairly clean.  Now to work on the laundry, bathrooms, office, and random toys everywhere.

Crafting: Tons and tons of crafting.  From now on, crafting posts will appear exclusively over at The Craft Sea.

Watching: Trying to catch up on our currently airing shows from whnen J was in Romania: Parks and Rec, Community, Portlandia, Castle, Elementary.  I'm also watching The Voice on Hulu.  J and picked up the new Hulu Original Deadbeat; has some potential.  Finally, I started watching The 100 from the CW.  Cheesy teen drama, but I'm actually enjoying it.

From Nature: Overall a lovely week.  Although I could have done without the two 90 degree days...

Shopping Scores: Lots and lots of crafting items bought.  I'll be highlight my craft supply haul over at The Craft Sea on next Sunday.

Project: Reorganizing and destashing the craft room.  I know I just reorganized the room about two months back, but I have so much new stuff that it needs a refresh.  Plus, I have the added need to separate out my retired and current SU products to use in potential classes and workshops.  So, I've been slowly working on a new storage configuration.  Also, I think I need to buy the SU Ink Pad Carousel to hold all my ink.  My current place of ink pads stacked into a bin just doesn't cut it.  Especially because I am constantly pulling them all out to compare shades. I cleaned off a space on the desk, but am waiting to order until June to take advantage of the hostess deals.  Other than reorganizing, I am slowly filling a box of craft things to sell/give away/throw away. I even decided to get rid of a few retired SU stamp sets, but have to wait to sell those until after June 1st.  Big ongoing project, but it's coming together.

Exercising: Our usual Shoreline walks, although it was incredibly hot this week (91 degrees!) which put a bit of damper on my desire to get out and exercise.

Picture: Pam and I at the Stampin' Up Catalog Premiere on Monday.  Such an experience!
