As I look outside my window: Another sunny day in California. I know I'm going to miss the sunshine when it's the dead of winter, but I am looking forward to experiencing fall in the Midwest again.

Right now I am: Taking a break from packing a bit. We are getting it done and am coming close to things that can't be packed until a week before we leave. 

On my bedside table: The Stolen Bride by Jo  Beverley; Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham

My simple pleasures: Pitchers of iced tea, brownies, 5 minutes of silence, a good book

Looking around the house: Things are becoming very bare around here. Lots and lots of cabinets and closets are completely empty. Of course that means that there is a ton of random stuff laying around as we try to destash and pack.
