On my bedside table: The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan; The Minor Third by Neil Patrick Harris

On my tv this week: J and I ended up watching a great new movie, Operation Mincemeat, and started S2 of The Great.

Listening to: My Chemical Romance just dropped a new album! You better believe it’s on repeat!

On the menu for this week: We are leaving for our mini road trip on Wednesday which means that I don’t need to meal plan this week! Tomorrow we will b having any leftovers and Tuesday we are grabbing takeout before going to the trivia night.

On my to do list: I need to grab some snacks and other assorted items from Target and Trader Joe’s. We need to do a drop of the library books. And I should do a bit more curriculum sorting before we leave.

Happening this week:

• Monday - Home day

• Tuesday - Last minute trip errands; Trivia night with the family

• Wednesday - Road trip time!

What I am creating: Nothing at the moment, although I’m think about retreat goodies.

My simple pleasures: Fun trivia games, getting a handle on curriculum plans, ice water

Looking around the house: I’ll be doing a whirlwind clean tomorrow and Tuesday to prep to leave. I always prefer coming home to a decently clean house.

From the camera: I didn’t win any round, but still I had fun at 90s Music Bingo on Tuesday. I even read a few chapters waiting for people to arrive.
