Currently Reading: Unruly by David Mitchell The past two weeks have been wonderfully packed with dinners for Thanksgiving and two birthdays, more intense than usual housecleaning because there was a 50/50 chance we were doing Thanksgiving with the in-laws at our house, and crafting for both Christmas gifts and my craft show next Saturday.
