Right now I am: Waiting for J to get home with sushi for dinner. I just didn't have it in me to cook tonight...

Thinking and pondering: What should I do during my retreat in two weeks? I might have a few hours to myself. I'm thinking a book, maybe a drive to the coast, maybe a little bookstore shopping, pie...

On my bedside table: The Gunslinger by Stephen King; As Bright as Heaven by Susan Meissner

On my tv this week: J and watched a few episodes of Supernatural, People of Earth, and The Good Place. Plus a couple of movies including Mr. Right (very entertaining).

Listening to: The boys and I listened to a couple new albums this week. We enjoyed the Black Panther Soundtrack, Dashboard Confessional, and Fall Out Boy. Quentin liked the Black Panther Soundtrack the best.

What I am creating: I finally finished my 2017 Memory Planner so I can get started on 2018. I also want to complete a few random card kits (get them out of the way). And I might just start working on 2017's Project Life albums again.

My simple pleasures: I'm all about books this week. I've been enjoying a large stack of comics and a few novels.

Looking around the house: Everything looked decent yesterday morning and then the kids decided to change that. Oh man there is crap everywhere now...

From the camera: Best seat in the house!
