As I look outside my window: It's so dark outside... 

Right now I am: Relaxing a bit after the big parent group Halloween party. Lots of fun, but man, lots of work.

Thinking and pondering: What do I need to do next? So many things on my big to-do list, but I need to do some prioritizing.

On my tv this week: I watched a few more episodes of Reign S4 -- getting super close to finishing the series. J and I watched both versions of The Haunting for comparison.
