Listening To: Fall Out Boy and Florence + the Machine.  Weird combo I know, but I decided that I really want to listen to the entire discography of both these artists.

Book finished: No Turning Back; Dune

Reading: The Living Dead

On the Nightstand: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon; The Awakening by Kate Chopin; Entwined by Kristen Callihan

Making Lists: All the craft related projects for October.  So many to figure out what, how, and especially when.  This month may just be a black hole.

Around the house: Continuing my battle with the tornado that is Arthur.  At this point, I could vacuum everyday and no one would be able to tell.  As it is, I do vacuum about every other day. Constant, constant.  On a happier note, I'm starting to serious destash before our upcoming move.  J wants to find a place and move before Christmas, so I'm starting now.  Not packing yet, but definitely weeding through the crap.  We saw a few properties this week and at least two possibilities.  We may put in an application for those two.  Still mulling it over a bit.

From the kitchen: This past week's meals were some of our tried and true favorites: Italian beef sandwiches, buffalo chicken sliders, tacos, tilapia, and bbq chicken.  I did attempt a new recipe on Friday, tomato pie, but it turned into a soggy gross mess.  We got Thai takeout instead of eating the pile of goo. Since J is leaving on a work trip and we have Arthur's party on Saturday, I've only got one new recipe up for next week: Tuscan Kale and White Bean Soup with Rosemary Rolls.  We'll see how it goes...

Watching: Lots of Key and Peele... Seriously addicted to that show.

Wondering: When and how much food should I buy for Arthur's party?  We now have about 60 people coming... Crazy times!  And I can't forget about beer!

From Nature: Such a contradiction.  We've had 90+ degree days while parts of the midwest saw their first snowfalls.  Can we have something in between?  I would love a good 70 degree day right about now.

Shopping Scores: Finishing up the last of the party supply buying (except food).  I think we now have all the nonperishable items.  I also picked up more supplies for the preschool playdate and the fall social.  Getting close!

Project: Final prepping for Arthur's party next Saturday.  A fair amount still to do.
