Taking Stock this Week

Cooking: Last night there was chopping and cutting and sautéing. Tonight there was Greek food from our favorite place. 

Drinking: I’m actually just about to try this pumpkin rooibos tea I got from Trader Joe’s. But actually, Anish bought this green juice from Wegman’s when we were in Pennsylvania over the weekend. It has apple cider in it, which I’m guessing is part of why it taste so good. We don’t have the store near us, but if you do, I highly recommend.

Reading: Still on My Brilliant Friend, which I’m sure I’ll get into once I stop falling asleep after reading a page—which is my fault, not the book’s fault.

Wanting: To go through my latest Stich Fix again. I tried on everything quickly, but so far there’s a blouse and a sweater I want to keep. I’m debating the jeans, so I want to go through it all again. Why didn’t I do this sooner? 

Looking: Forward to a weekend in Vermont, just me and John.   

Wishing: For bikes and hikes and leaves and good food

Enjoying: Spending time with good friends, talking over dinner

Watching: During lunch today I started watching the Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix—the first half hour seemed pretty interesting.

Wondering: What we should get Luca for his birthday—he turns 2 at the end of the month

Loving: That Minted’s online invitations are free (at least until Dec. 31)—I used the site to make the invites for Luca’s birthday and getting the RSVPs emailed to me has been the best.

Hoping: This cold finally gets better. It feels like it’s been forever.

Needing: To make a list of what we need to get accomplished in the house over the next few weeks/months.  

Wearing: Fall scarves again!

Noticing: (And loving): Fresh flowers, a surprise today from JB 

Knowing: Timing is everything.

Thinking: About how to make a firetruck costume for L for Halloween—every time you ask him what he wants to be, he says firetruck. Not firefighter, mind you. Just the actual truck.

Bookmarking: Everything on Pinterest related to a lumberjack/woodland creatures birthday party. We’re just doing a family thing for L this year, so I wanted to do something not super kid-ish, but still cute.

Snacking: On popcorn, as usual

Giggling: Over “old” videos of Luca—I put old in quotes because these are from just a few months ago, but already he’s changed so much.
