Listening To: Fall Out Boy and Florence + the Machine. Weird combo I know, but I decided that I really want to listen to the entire discography of both these artists.
Book finished: No Turning Back; Dune
Reading: The Living Dead
On the Nightstand: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon; The Awakening by Kate Chopin; Entwined by Kristen Callihan
Making Lists: All the craft related projects for October. So many to figure out what, how, and especially when. This month may just be a black hole.
Around the house: Continuing my battle with the tornado that is Arthur. At this point, I could vacuum everyday and no one would be able to tell. As it is, I do vacuum about every other day. Constant, constant. On a happier note, I'm starting to serious destash before our upcoming move. J wants to find a place and move before Christmas, so I'm starting now. Not packing yet, but definitely weeding through the crap. We saw a few properties this week and at least two possibilities. We may put in an application for those two. Still mulling it over a bit.
From the kitchen: This past week's meals were some of our tried and true favorites: Italian beef sandwiches, buffalo chicken sliders, tacos, tilapia, and bbq chicken. I did attempt a new recipe on Friday, tomato pie, but it turned into a soggy gross mess. We got Thai takeout instead of eating the pile of goo. Since J is leaving on a work trip and we have Arthur's party on Saturday, I've only got one new recipe up for next week: Tuscan Kale and White Bean Soup with Rosemary Rolls. We'll see how it goes...
Watching: Lots of Key and Peele... Seriously addicted to that show.
Wondering: When and how much food should I buy for Arthur's party? We now have about 60 people coming... Crazy times! And I can't forget about beer!
From Nature: Such a contradiction. We've had 90+ degree days while parts of the midwest saw their first snowfalls. Can we have something in between? I would love a good 70 degree day right about now.
Shopping Scores: Finishing up the last of the party supply buying (except food). I think we now have all the nonperishable items. I also picked up more supplies for the preschool playdate and the fall social. Getting close!
Project: Final prepping for Arthur's party next Saturday. A fair amount still to do.
