As I look outside my window: Gray day... makes me want a cup of tea and curl up with a good book.

Right now I am: Snuggling with the littlest bug. Savoring all the baby snuggles.

On my bedside table: Revival; Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

On my tv this week: Lots more Gilmore Girls; (I'm about halfway through season 4 right now); Drunk History; Full Frontal; The Mechanic 2 (stupid action); Kubo and the Two Swords (so good!)

Listening to: One Bad Mother. Somehow I got three episodes behind.

On the menu for this week: Completely forgot to make a meal plan for this coming week. Thanksgiving really threw me off. Guess what I'm doing today.

On my to do list: Get Q's birth certificate; Make a passport appointment; start packing; update calendars; finish at least one book; and lots of other things...

Happening this week:

• Monday - Q's 2 month doctor appointment; grocery run
• Tuesday - Home day
• Wednesday - Niles Canyon Railroad Light Train
• Thursday - Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Class
• Friday - Home day
• Saturday - Birthday Party for Friends
• Sunday - Secret Snowflake

What I am creating: I need to finish the favors for the Cookie Exchange in two weeks. I'm also prepping the holiday albums for Christmas presents. And I need to finish my December cards. At least the ones that I can do before getting my Occasions Catalog preorder.

My simple pleasures: Apple ciders; martinis; twice baked sweet potatoes; rainy day snuggles; quiet time to read

Looking around the house: There are a few odds and ends dishes to finish washing by hand. And I really need to sweep the kitchen again.

From the camera: Outtake from the other day...
