Happy Monday! It is decidedly un-Christmasy outside here. A very few little piles remain of our snows a week or so ago, but they will likely be gone by Christmas Day since our temps are forecast to be in the 40's. That's all good with me - means my kids can travel safely and get here so we can be together (at least as together as we can be when two of us live in Alaska). I still have so much to get done before they arrive - food to finish up, cleaning to do and absolutely nothing is wrapped yet! I have this week off so it will all get done but it will be a busy couple of days - more book listening to than book reading.
Last Week I:
Listened To: I finished The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston and The Bright Years by Sarah Damoff. I had started the Damoff book some weeks ago but then the loan got returned. When I finally got it again, I was so confused as to why it was starting 2/3 of the way through it - I had completely forgotten than I had started it! Today I will start Lara Prescott's The Secrets We Keep.
Watched: Lots of sports (volleyball, college basketball, college and pro football), The Voice, and we finished season four of Only Murders In The Building. Plus so many Christmas movies and shows!
Read: I'm currently reading Maria Semple's Go Gentle.
Made: Chex mix, puppy chow, Bavarian mints, taco soup - all things to prep for the kids being here.
Enjoyed: It's been a busy week with lots to enjoy - book club holiday party Tuesday, work party for our team Wednesday where we rode a trolley around to look at Christmas lights, Saturday we went downtown to look at lights and have dinner, and last night we had dinner with friends at their house.

This Week I’m:
Planning: The goal is to finish up all of the cooking and last minute gift buying today then wrapping tomorrow. After that, it's about enjoying all of this work with lots of fun to look forward to throughout the week.
Thinking About: How I never want to find myself this far behind again!
Feeling: Even though I'm way behind, I'm feeling content. It will all be fine.
Looking forward to: Having the kids here for a couple of days, a concert with friends Friday, and dinner with the Big Guy's siblings and spouses Saturday night.
Question of the week: How are you all doing on getting things ready?
