Right now I am: Recovering from a crazy long day in San Francisco yesterday.

Thinking and pondering: A dear friend's husband died unexpectedly this morning. I am still in shock. She's currently living all the way across the country near her family. I'm at a loss at how to support her in this difficult time, but will continue to think about it.

On my bedside table: The Last Star by Rick Yancey; Thunderstruck by Erik Larson

On my tv this week: J and I caught up with some Another Period, Brain Dead, and Silicon Valley. On the movie front, we introduced the twins to Going Postal.

Listening to: Not much listening to music this week. I have been busy listening to Arthur's nonstop chatter. Wow that little boy has really opened up his vocabulary this past month.

• Monday - Italian Noodle Soup
• Tuesday - BBQ Chicken (double batch as I'm delivering some to a friend who just had a baby)
• Wednesday - Mongolian Beef over rice and veggies

On my to do list: Summer social tasks, clean the house, probably some other things I'm forgetting about.

Happening this week:

• Monday - Shopping day: Social supplies, groceries

My simple pleasures: Arnold Palmer's, the view from SF Wharf, my own bed

Looking around the house: The kitchen is a disaster zone. J had to take apart the dishwasher after it clogged. The result is dirty dishes and crap everywhere, Not looking forward to cleaning all that up.

From the camera: Hooligans outside of the candy store...
