Listening To: Mumford and Sons.  I've had their albums on repeat lately...

Book finished: Washington; Winterblaze; Fingersmith

Reading: No Turning Back by Estelle Freedman; An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

On the Nightstand: Dune by Frank Herbert

Making Lists: Grocery list for the next two weeks. Projects to finish before Christmas.

From the kitchen: Last week I made a few new recipes -- Apple Cheddar Stuffed Chicken with Dijon Pan Sauce (very yummy) and Tater Tot Casserole (American shepherd's pie)

Crafting: I finished with my holiday swaps, my September swap card, and my Halloween and Thanksgiving class cards.  Plus, I caught up with PL for the family album.  I was on top of it this week.

Watching: We finished Game of Thrones S3 (yeah, I know, way behind), The Newsroom S1 (so very Sorkin), and Gravity Falls S1 (my little guilty pleasure).  Even though we finished three seasons, we didn't actually watch too much tv this week...

From Nature: Beautifully sunny and breezy.  That's the Bay.

Project: An upcoming movie.  With J's new job in the city, we need to fin a place that gives him a shorter commute.  From our place now, it will be almost 3 hours a day in commute time (2 hours on the train and about 1 hour walking).  We're looking at Fremont in East Bay.  Not my absolute favorite, but it's close to the BART line (faster trip into the city) and way cheaper. We've looked at three places so far, but none are right. We have the time to shop around a bit.  However, with the market around here we will have to jump when we find a place we like.  I'm hoping before Christmas... But that also means that I need to start packing/decluttering now.

Picture: Arthur enjoying his first sushi.  Don't worry it was imitation crab and shrimp tempura.
