Listening To: One Bad Mother podcast.  It is my life!

Book finished: None (see below)

Reading: A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin (it is a monster at 1000 pages, but I'm working through it)

On the Nightstand: A Hundred Pieces of Me by Lucy Dillon; Midnight in Austenland by Shannon Hale; Life in Ruins by Marilyn Johnson

Making Lists: Never-ending to-do list. Being away from home has allowed me to take a step back and decide what I want to do in the coming year. I've got my new One Little Word picked out and a lot of projects to accompany it.

Around the house: I'm currently staying at my mom's house in Indiana and it's insane. The house was recently renovated, but there are still things to fix.  Just on Friday, the contractors finally finished installing the bar.  Now my mom has kitchen storage!  And they finished the flooring.  We we have to fix the ant problem (an exterminator is coming in next week) and an electrical issue (keep tripping the breaker when using the microwave.  Other than the chaos of recent renovations, it's a nice little house.

Crafting: Working on my December albums (all four of them!) and that's about it.  All of my recent crafting purchases have been sent home to California so no play time for me until after the new year.

Watching: Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street in the morning.  As we are stuck indoors most days (Midwest cold!), Arthur has gotten to watch some tv during the day. I try to limit it to one episode a day, but on Friday it was a lot more due to the big house construction.

Wondering: Where we should go with our rental car this week?  I finally decided to rent a car for a week while here.  Arthur and I have been stuck at the house because mom's car is used as the delivery vehicle. I need to take advantage of the rental while I can.  I'm thinking the indoor playground, the coffeehouse/playground, the library (probably multiple visits), grocery shopping for mom, visit to grandma and grandpa, coffee date with friend...

From Nature: Cold, but not frigid yet.

Shopping Scores: I've grabbed lots of cute Christmas gifts for the boys and a few for my mom.  Plus I took advantage of some online sales for house goods and craft supplies back home.

Project: Lots of year end blogging posts, retreat planning, preschool planning, and general house ideas.
