Life: It Goes On - September 18

Well, I've finally had to acknowledge that it's fall, even though, officially, it isn't yet. It got chilly enough this week that I had to switch to a warmer bed covering. It was that or put on warmer jammies or turn off the ceiling fan and I'm not ready to do either of those things yet. We spent most of the week under grey skies with a lot of rain and even had the tornado sirens go off one day but Friday evening it was finally sunny and dry and I spent two hours on the patio.

I jumped in on Bloggiesta since I had a largely quiet  weekend and have really gotten a lot done including tweaking the look of the blog just a big. Ever since I last made changes, I've been struggling with the size of the print. It actually took Bloggiesta for me to remember that I could just change the size of the font. Duh.

This Week I'm:

Listening To: As I mentioned the other day, I've switched over the The Bone Tree which I've downloaded to my phone. Pretty excited to finally be able to do an audiobook outside of the confines of my car!

Watching: Mostly football, I think. Nothing else I've watched this week even sticks in my head.

Reading: Finishing up The Yard for a TLC Book Tour this week then in print (and by print, I mean on my Nook), I'll be reading A Month In The Country by J. L. Carr, as recommended to my by Liberty Hardy, with a group on Litsy. After I finish it, I need to track down the movie adaptation which starts Kenneth Branagh, Natasha Richardson, and Colin Firth.

Making: Me? I think I've made nothing all week. The Big Guy has done what cooking's been done. Unless you count the sauce I made for cocktail weinies Miss H took to work.

Planning: On working with Mini-him today to finish sorting through the stuff he still has here. I don't mind storing stuff the kids will need/use/want someday but I don't want to work around stuff no one is ever going to want again.

Thinking About: Pulling out the fall decor today. Seashells and driftwood just aren't cutting it any more. 

Enjoying: Seeing Geraldine Brooks speak the other night with a couple of friends. Great speaker and always fun to spend extra time with friends.

Feeling: Excited for Miss H who started back to college last week and Monday will start a new job.

Looking forward to: Seeing The Light Between Oceans with the Omaha Bookworms this week. We're doing that instead of reading a book this month.

Question of the week: What is your favorite thing about autumn - leaves changing colors, pulling out your sweaters, pumpkin spice latte, apple harvest?
